Which is your No. 1 watch?
The Chronos Top 10 Watches Rankings is a regular feature of the Japanese edition of Chronos. A panel of watch experts chooses 10 recommended models for each given theme, and then decides on the top 10 based on the most votes.
However, the rankings made by each selection committee member do not necessarily match the "recommendations" or "favorites" of readers. Therefore, at webChronos, the rankings chosen by readers are determined by voting.
In a normal project, readers would choose their No. 1 from 10 models selected in advance by the magazine, but this time we would like readers to choose one model themselves and then fill out the survey form freely. The voting deadline is 23:59 on Sunday, December 7, 2025.
The theme was "New watches released in 2025"
The year 2025 saw a number of events that raised concerns about the future of the watch industry. For example, despite the 15% tariff agreement, US President Donald Trump imposed high tariffs on Swiss imports, China's economic slowdown, and rising global prices have led to a decline in consumption of luxury items... Some readers may be feeling a gloom over the watch market, which has continued to grow. However, despite these dark clouds, the industry is once again buzzing with new watches full of ingenuity and innovation from various companies.
