The Top 15 Watches of 2008
Because watches have their roots in practicality, one can almost not go too far over the top when choosing the ultimate watch to express their individual style. This year at Luxist, we featured watches with all manner of unusual eccentricities and legacies, including watches that only tell if it's day or night, watches inspired by the Beijing Olympics, and watches containing rare gems, woods, and actual meteorite.
Featured above is the watch with the meteorite: The Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris Watch, which shows a representation of the stars visible from Paris on a typical night set in a lovely rose gold.
As watches become less important for telling time (because it's on your cell phone), we believe it is only natural that they will become more and more beautiful.

Interesting choice of watches.

Interesting choices indeed. What criteria were used to select these "Top 15"? My list would look much different - maybe the Romain Jerome would be on there, but many of the others would not make the cut.

The only one of these I'd personally wear would be the Gabor Kanabe 8 Dance. The Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris might make the cut also. However, as for the rest: I'll pass. Thanks! ;)
