Today, I would like to recommend three formal watches to you. Although the current watch market is mainly focused on sports watches, if you want to enhance your image at work or social occasions, in addition to classic and elegant designs, formal watches are also indispensable. Therefore, today I will select three representative classic watches from the new formal watch products released in 2024 for a brief introduction.

Domestic public price:￥319400
Watch diameter: 38 mm

Watch comments:In mid-October, Breguet launched a newly designed platinum case and black “Grand Feu” enamel dial style for the Classique 5177 watch. It is worth noting that this is the first time Breguet has incorporated platinum into the design of the classic watch 5177. It has a surface diameter of 38 mm and is decorated with a coin pattern on the case. The black Grand Feu enamel shows the elegance and simplicity of Breguet style with a modern touch. This color design is inspired by the charming night sky. The dial also uses Breguet hands and Breguet hour markers to indicate time, and a calendar display window is set at 3 o’clock. The irregular design of this window will not destroy the beauty of the disk to the greatest extent, thereby enhancing the interpretation of the date. Breguet brand watches are equipped with a 777Q self-winding movement. This finely decorated movement can be clearly seen through the transparent bottom cover. The movement is also equipped with a silicon hairspring, pallet fork and escape wheel. When the chain is full, it can provide a power reserve of up to 55 hours, and the overall waterproof performance can reach 30 meters. The strap of this watch is a deep black alligator leather strap that matches the tone of the dial and is decorated with black stitching.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Ultra-Thin Master Series Q1238480
Product model: Q1238480
Watch diameter: 39 mm
Case thickness: 7.89mm
Movement type: automatic machine
Movement model: 899
Case material: stainless steel
Waterproof depth: 50 meters
Watch comments:Although Jaeger-LeCoultre mainly focuses on the double-wing series in traditional watch design this year, I personally feel that this ultra-thin Master series calendar watch launched not long ago is undoubtedly an ideal entry-level choice among top brands. After undergoing a technical update, the ultra-thin master has generally become more refined while maintaining its elegant and simple design style. This latest work is also reflected in the picture. This watch uses a 39 mm stainless steel case, and its size meets the standards of modern dress watches, with a thickness of 7.8 mm. Such thinness not only shows its elegant appearance, but also brings a comfortable touch to the wearer. One of the highlights of the new work is the blue-gray disc design recently adopted by Jaeger-LeCoultre. This color is not only beautiful and elegant, but also adds a touch of modernity to the classic design after being decorated with a sunburst pattern. The toffee hands and trapezoidal hour markers are brushed and polished to produce a staggered light and shadow effect, which is very eye-catching and very clear to read. A date display window is set up at 6 o’clock, and the design is restrained and practical without damaging the overall beauty of the disk. In terms of movement selection, this watch is equipped with a Caliber 899 automatic movement, which makes it perform well in terms of performance, polishing and durability. However, its 38-hour power reserve function seems unattractive in modern times. Therefore, for those watch friends who really like this watch, they still need to make a choice: if they can wear it every day after purchasing it, then they don’t have to worry about its power reserve time being too short.
Blancpain Classic Series 6654-3610-55B
Product model:6654-3610-55B
Movement type: automatic machine
Movement model: Cal.6654
Case material: 18k red gold
Watch comments:The Blancpain Utopia Literary Award has ushered in another year. This year, Blancpain continues its tradition and launches two limited edition watches of the V Series Literary Award. Among them, 6654 full calendar moon phase is a very classic choice. Many watch friends will include it in their choice list when considering buying a formal watch. This champagne gray dial brings a refreshing visual experience to the classic watch. The case is made of 18K rose gold. After fine polishing and retouching, the ruddy luster of the rose gold is perfectly displayed. This watch has a diameter of 40 mm, which is regarded as the ideal size for modern men’s formal wear. At the same time, its classic double-layer bezel design also adds more layering to this watch. For 6654, this is Blancpain’s rare combination of champagne gray and gold case. This kind of gray makes the atmosphere displayed by Blancpain not dull, which is in sharp contrast to the calm gray we usually think of. When combined with the fine brushed effect of the dial, it looks particularly bright, and perfectly echoes the central symmetry of the month and day windows and the lively moon at six o’clock. The hollow hands on the leaves are staggered and appear very three-dimensional, while the central snake-shaped golden date hand adopts a classic curved arc design to display the date on the inner ring. This watch is equipped with a Cal.6654 self-winding movement with a complete dynamic storage time of up to 72 hours. Blancpain also specially used gold engraving technology to engrave the design of a hand-held quill on the precious metal oscillating weight. The watch comes with a dark gray alligator leather strap.
Summarize:In 2024, three very representative formal watches have been introduced in detail to watch friends. The price range of these watches has risen from 70,000 to more than 300,000, and they have performed very well in all levels and price ranges, becoming a classic choice for formal watches. The Breguet brand’s quiet and elegant black, this grand feu enamel black plate has a lasting appeal that is enough to make people fall deeply into it. Jaeger-LeCoultre skillfully uses color to give classic designs a modern flavor, and Blancpain is no exception. They all interpret the colors of classic works from a modern perspective. If you like it, you can also go to the physical store to try it on.
