Holiday Gift Guide For Men: THE 12 LUCKIEST WATCHES TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR

Arnold & Son Luna Magna Platinum.

The holiday spirit is upon us all. Most people associate luck with a game of chance. And while there is an element of opportunity in the game, it doesn’t define luck. Research has found a correlation between good luck and a positive attitude. In short, being lucky is a reflection of the choices we make. Our choices define how we see and interpret the world. 

Our choices outside the periphery of margins unlock great possibilities, known as luck. Luck is something you can attract toward yourself. A watch brings luck because your vibration increases when you wear it. And knowing you have an expensive watch on will give you a hefty dose of confidence, strength, and luck! 

Happy Holidays!

But thanks to various technical optimizations, including introducing a new, flatter automatic winding system, it has been reduced by 1.3 mm in thickness. To honor its Gourmet family, Hublot has incorporated the steel used in its chefs’ knives into its watches.  The strongest and sharpest swords came from the iconic steel that historically bore the name WOOTZ, which first emerged in the Damascus region 300 years B.C. Today, Damascus steel is a hammering and bending steel technique that makes it more resistant. This steel is used to make the kitchen knives that star chefs love. The Big Bang is now made of steel in a limited edition of 200 pieces. USD 24,100

The commemorative TF002 titanium case is 43.5MM in diameter and is composed of lightweight titanium, a precious material in watch-making that was chosen to allow increased durability against impact.

Most radical of all: the orange dial which greatly improved readability underwater. It’s a classic DOXA piece. $2,490
