Breguet Classique Chronométrie 7727The Baselworld 2013 watch fair has come to and end, and now, having seen and covered dozens of new watches on my blog, Watch-Insider.com, my colleagues at WatchTime have asked me to name my favorite new timepieces from this year’s show. Click here to see my top 10 watches from the most well-established brands.

Keep watching for more top 10 lists covering various other watch categories, and eventually the revelation of my one-and-only favorite watch from Baselworld 2013.

For the purposes of this list, I will only write brief descriptions of each watch, but you can find additional information by searching the watches by keyword, either here or on Watch-Insider.com, where I have presented them in more detail.

Blancpain Bathyscaphe

With this new release, Blancpain has found a clever way to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its iconic Fifty Fathoms without altering the existing version of the watch. The Bathyscaphe belonged to the historical Fifty Fathoms family in the 1950s, and the modern version becomes an attractive alternative to the Fifty Fathoms.

Breguet Classique Chronométrie 7727

Breguet’s use of magnetic pivots and a 10 Hz-high frequency escapement are an innovation ahead of its time, and represent Breguet at its inventive best. Brand namesake Abraham-Louis Breguet would be more than proud seeing what his successors are doing today.
