We selected watches that we thought were of high quality from the new product exhibitions held in Geneva in January, including SIHH, WPHH, GTE, LVMH's Pre-Basel, and other individual exhibitions. The result was a clear winner: the Grande Reverso Ultra Slim Tribute to 1931. It took first place with "the highest score in fact." The close competition from second place onwards is also quite interesting.

1 bit 142 points / 8 people Jaeger-LeCoultre / Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931Photo: "Grande Reverso Ultra Slim Tribute to 1931". Manual winding. Stainless steel. 756,000 yen. ●Reissue of the first Reverso model. Ah, the earliest Art Deco was so beautiful. The dial design, the aspect ratio of the square case, the re-thinned inverted case... Everything is wonderful. (Takagi) ●This time too, the model name is long, but as a reissue model it is outstanding. The "REVER SO" inscription is also an appealing point. (Shinoda) ●It is a reissue that lived up to expectations. Recently, there has been a sense that the Reverso has been "over-tinkered" with, but this return to its roots is very welcome. It is one of the top contenders for the watch to buy this year. (Sugawara)

2 bit 54 points / 4 people Audemars Piguet / Millenary 4101Photo: "Millenary 4101". Automatic. Stainless steel. Estimated price: 1,837,500 yen. ●The new caliber developed by Mr. Hamaguchi has an interesting design. There are many highlights, such as the exquisite combination of movement and design, and the cost performance. (Sugawara) ●The new movement fits perfectly into the unique oval case, and takes advantage of the oblong oval dial to show the hour and minute hands on the right side and the balance wheel on the left side. This brings out the originality of the Millenary to the fullest. (Takagi)

3 bit 50 points / 4 people Baume & Mercier / Capeland Flyback ChronographPhoto: "Capeland Flyback Chronograph." Automatic. 18KRG. 1,627,500 yen. ●It would be easy to call it a return to the classics, but the finish of the dial, hands, case, etc. has been greatly improved, so it is not just a reproduction. The sloping bezel gives it a thinner impression and is also stylish. (Takagi) ●For watch lovers who know the company's vintage chronographs, this new product will bring tears to their eyes. This is also a watch with a seductive atmosphere that will make you fall in love at first sight and want to buy it. (Sugawara)

4 bit 48 points / 3 people Cartier / Rotonde de Cartier AstroregulatorPhoto: "Rotonde de Cartier Astroregulator." Automatic movement. Niobium titanium. Estimated price: 28,612,500 yen. ●I'm impressed by the "sincere gimmick." It would be impossible to have spent so many years developing such a center-of-gravity mechanism without any play around. Cartier is truly impressive. (Sugawara) ●This next-generation tourbillon was born from the idea of not canceling out the effects of gravity, but rather minimizing the effects of gravity as much as possible. The whirlwind of Cartier's innovative complete watches continues. (Yamada)
