The watch I'm aiming for in 2022 is right...!

2022 is about to end in a blink of an eye.
Looking back, various things happened all over the world, and as a result, the watch industry was also greatly impacted.

So, this time, even in the sense of looking back on 2022, we would like to introduce 4 watch brands that we are aiming for now!
We will introduce models that can be purchased at a great price, indomitable masterpieces, market fluctuations, etc.
* Information as of October 2022.

1. Tudor/Tudor
2. Audemars Piguet
3. Cartier
4. IWC

1. Tudor/Tudor

First of all, I would like to introduce Tudor/Tudor (unified by Tudor below).
The company started as a diffusion brand of Rolex, but now it is a brand that goes on its own route apart from Rolex.

The price range is quite wide from 200,000 yen to 1,000,000 yen, but most of the popular models are under 500,000 yen, which is relatively affordable among luxury watches.

Tudor's target models are these two right out of the box!

• black bay fifty eight
• Ranger

black bay fifty eight

TUDOR [Tudor] Black Bay Fifty Eight Bronze Ref.79012M

The price of Fifty-Eight, which has been popular since its release, has been rising year by year, but due to the recent world situation, the price has fallen from its peak.
From the end of the year to next year, we will be affected by the depreciation of the yen, and there is a high possibility that the price will rise again, so now is the watch we are aiming for.

The first feature is that it fits very well when placed on the arm with a case diameter of 39 mm.
In addition, the in-house movement that is installed has a long power reserve of 70 hours and passes the COSC standard, making it an extremely cost-effective one.

The design is also high, and although it is simple, it has been dropped into a design that is easy to match casually with snowflake needles, rivet bracelets, and dome-shaped windshields that are conscious of vintage watches.

Of course, it was also adopted by Tudor at the time.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to those who are looking for it because it will be sold as soon as it arrives.
It is expected that the popularity will continue next year, so please contact us as soon as possible if you have any stock!

Ranger

Tudor Ranger Ref.79950

Next is Ranger.
Although it is the same model announced as a new product for 2022, we have not yet received any shipments.
Due to the recent situation, it is still a model with a small distribution volume.
It is a model that the market price is expected to stabilize as the second-hand market gradually increases from now on to 2023, so it may be a good idea to set a target now.

Tudor Ranger Ref.79950

Ranger's characteristic is that it has a good balance of design, function and price.
The same can be said for the Fifty-Eight, but the Ranger is thinner due to the smooth bezel.
The dial also has 3, 6, 9, and 12 dials, giving it a very clean impression, and the design is reminiscent of the discontinued Rolex Explorer 39mm.

However, it is a place like Tudor, and despite being designed as a robust and practical tool watch rather than a pure explorer, the price is quite low.
The list price is 371,800 yen including tax (price as of October 2022), which is a shocking cost performance.
Of course, since it is a new product, the parallel price tends to be a premium.

The Tudor official has an image of a woman wearing it, and it is a design that can be used by both men and women, so how about using it as a pair watch?

2. Audemars Piguet

Next up is Audemars Piguet.
Audemars Piguet is a so-called "cloud clock" included in the world's five major watch brands.
The price range is also quite high, and there are only models that you can't get your hands on.
In addition, since the distribution volume is small, most of the items, including Royal Oak, are offered at premium prices.

It is such Audemars Piguet, but the reason why it is aimed is the fluctuation of the market price.
Like Rolex and Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, whose market fluctuates violently, has calmed down considerably as of October 2022 compared to when the market peaked.
Good news for those who have been looking for it for a long time.
The price of the old model has also fallen, so you can buy it at a great deal compared to before.
Of course, it is still one of the five major watch brands, so the list price is set high, and even though it has fallen, it is not an amount that you can afford.

The list price is rising at a considerable pace year by year, and it is possible that the price will be revised further due to the effects of the weaker yen, so if you are looking for something like CODE11. not.

3. Cartier

The next target watch to introduce is Cartier.

The company produces a number of high-quality watches that cannot be thought of as jewelers, but recently they have been putting a lot of effort into their own movements, probably due to the balance with the Swatch Group.

CARTIER Tank MC LM Ref.W5330003

Pasha, Panthere, Santos, and other models that were temporarily discontinued have been reprinted with their own movements and new outfits and are gaining popularity.
In addition, due to this, the market price of old models has risen across the board, and there are many models that sell as soon as they arrive.
That said, there is a price difference with the new model, so if you want to find a cheap Cartier, it might be a good idea to look for a beautiful old model now.

Of course, the new model is equipped with a powerful in-house movement, and the quality of the watch is much higher than before.
It's a very good orthodox evolution for those who didn't choose Cartier because they thought, "I like the design, but what about the watch brand?"

4. IWC

Last but not least is IWC.

Abbreviation for International Watch Company, commonly known as Ida Brew Sea.
The company is a brand that originated in the German-speaking region of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, so it is characterized by a slightly different design than other Swiss watches.
It can be said that the simple and robust construction of Germany and the delicate design of Swiss watches are fused.

The target model of IWC is the Portugieser Chronograph.
Some of you may be wondering why the standard model Portugieser Chronograph is the target.

However, along with that, the list price has risen, and there is a slight difference in the second-hand price between the old model and the new model.

The target is yes, the old Portugieser chronograph!
For those who think that the current Portugieser chronograph is too expensive to afford, this is one I would definitely recommend.
There are no major changes to the dial design, so you can use it with the same image as the new model. That's the part.

There is no big difference in the dial compared to the new model below

IWC [International Watch Company] Portugieser Chronograph Ref.IW371604 (New model)

Since the old model is an ETA-based movement, it can be said that maintenance is superior to this one.

The specifications of the buckle are different, and the old model has a single opening.

The new model has a double-opening buckle and the back cover is also a skeleton specification.

The new model has some minor updates that are difficult to write down, so I think it's best to consider it in terms of your budget, but if you dare to think about it as a target, the Portugieser Chrono before 2019 Isn't the graph exactly the target model?
