Zach Udell, a fourth-generation family member and Vice President of London Jewelers, remarks on the evolution in watch design, emphasizing to the New York Post the balance between a brand's heritage and the demands of a younger generation.
Examples include Patek Philippe's Calatrava, which now boasts modern elements like a crosshatch motif and a calfskin strap while retaining its classic white-gold case. Rolex's Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 now comes in vivid shades, exemplifying Udell's statement that "color has really become mainstream."
Cartier's iconic Baignoire model, recognized for its distinctive oval dial, has been refreshed for 2023. The model is now more jewelry-like, with a larger quartz-powered version attached to a bangle.
Another highlight is the relaunched Bulgari’s Aluminium GMT, which impresses with its blue logo bezel and incorporation of blue and red in its design, making it a stand-out piece for aspiring collectors.
