Maurice de Mauriac Moon Chronograph Watch
A particularly attractive line from Maurice de Mauriac of Zurich is this Moon Chronograph watch collection. It comes in many different versions (see here), but is a pretty clever take on use of a Valjoux 7751 automatic movement. Seen here is the top of the line piece in solid pink gold, but the diversely customizable collection is offered in various case sizes, in various materials, with various dials.See my full article on the Maurice de Mauriac Moon Chronograph watch at Haute Living here.
Rotonde de Cartier Mystery Watch Versus The Levitas
The term “mystery” (whether in English or French) as applied to a clock or watch means that some part of its mechanism or operation is hidden from the user.

Those guys make some wildly interesting electronic quartz watches that for years have used transparent sapphire crystals to mount hands in order to create an “invisible setting” effect. They have cool stuff like chronographs and other interesting watches that apply this principle. While neat, I think Quinting still struggles a bit given their high price and quartz movement interior. That isn’t to say that aren’t pretty fantastic. On the mechanical watch front, you have some new mystery watch options from Konstantin Chaykin
