For those of you who aren’t familiar with the company Tourneau, let me give you a quick introduction. One of the largest retailers of watches in the world, the company has been around since 1900 and has catered to the most esteemed clients, focusing on selling luxury timepieces that will no doubt catch a reaction. While Tourneau has a wide variety of products for sale, the company’s specialty is actually pre-owned certified pieces that are a little more reasonable to purchase—somewhat. When dealing in high-end products, nothing is marked down too much, helping the watches remain timeless and retail value still very high. Though the company has 35 retail stores located in 13 different U.S. states, the majority of their business can be found online—and that’s what I am taking a look at today. After searching through some of Tourneau’s incredible selections on their website, I wanted to discover which men’s watches—men, women and unisex—that were the most expensive. Find out the results below, with a short description of what makes these timepieces so incredible.
10. Vacheron Constantin – Overseas Chronograph
Price: $63,100
Extremely contemporary and casual, the Overseas Chronograph by Vacheron Constantin takes on the typical look of what a male watch should look like. Bold, simple and sporty, it reflects the modern world that its name is derived from, with stories of adventures of traveling the world and new discovery. It has a flexing, gold band that makes it easy to slip on and off, giving it a very cavalier look and feel.
9. Vacheron Constantin – Patrimony Traditionnelle
Price: $68,900
For those who prefer a little bit of bling shining off their wrist, take a look at the Patrimony Traditionnelle, which looks like a crisp, sparkling glass of golden champagne. With beating mechanical rhythms that are both simple and uniquely sophisticated, the watch embodies everything that is brilliant about Vacheron Constantin. With diamonds on the band and in and around the face, there will be plenty of questions about who the maker of this gorgeous timepiece is whenever it’s seen in public.
8. Vacheron Constantin – Patrimony Contemporaine Perpetual Calendar
Price: $83,000
About as simplistic as a watch can get, don’t let the simple design fool you—this watch has a lot going for it. Housing the legendary Calibre 1120 QP—which is a mechanical, self-winding movement that is stamped with the Hallmark of Geneva—the Patrimony Contemporaine Perpetual Calendar is ultra-thin and is rich with both elegance and class, all while looking as though it has been a timeless accessory for the past century-plus.
7. Patek Philippe – Grand Complications Yellow Gold
Price: Call for Details
Now I wouldn’t typically add a product on here that doesn’t actually have a specific price tag on it, but the Grand Complications Yellow Gold by Patek Philippe is just too gorgeous not to fall between the price of $83,000 and $92,000, so it had to be mentioned. A more classic look, it has an ultra thing, self-winding perpetual calendar which has made it rank among the company’s most popular watches for years. Designed to emphasize Patek Philippe’s heritage in those calendar’s, it isn’t as simple as it might first appear.
6. MB&F – Legacy Machine No. 1 White Gold
Price: $92,000
With a classic look that redefines modern taste, the Legacy Machine No. 1 White Gold is a stunning timepiece that was the first watch launched within the new Legacy Machine series by MB&F. Futuristic in its design, the watch features 18k white gold on the case, as well as hand-stitched alligator leather on the strap to wrap around the wrist. With tremendous balance and independent time zones, the Legacy Machine No. 1 pays tribute to the great innovators in watchmaking by blending a number of different traditional styles together.
5. MB&F – Legacy Machine No. 1 Red Gold
Price: $92,000
For those who are looking for the exact same style and design of a watch as the aforementioned Legacy Machine No. 1 White Gold, MB&F also constructed a Red Gold option that is just as beautiful. With the same 18k case on the border of the face and a uniquely domed shape glass over top, it provides a unique look with the red gold rather than the white version. Whether you’re looking to wear this around town every once in awhile or just on special occasions, the Legacy Machine No. 1 Red Gold is a timepiece worth owning.
4. MB&F Megawind Red Gold
Price: $92,000
For those who want to make a statement with the accessory on their wrist, the MB&F Megawind Red Gold might just be the perfect choice. Featuring a giant, 22k gold and titanium rotor with highly legible time cones, it is made within a sapphire crystal that displays both hours and minutes on each dial. It’s both sleek and creative in its design and precision, so I can understand why someone would spend $92,000 for one.
3. MB&F – Moon Machine Titanium Limited Edition
Price: $98,000
With the design help of Finnish watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva, this limited edition MB&F is one of the most unique watches on the market, as it resembles two frog eyes as the counter, and the main face actually being smaller than those two bubbles. It’s playful look and stunning background to those two, hand-finished moon faces is what makes this timepiece an absolute show-stopper. And with a 22k gold disc as the winding rotor, it’s a perfect addition to any collector’s lockbox.
2. Patek Philippe – Grand Complications White Gold
Price: Call for Details
Much like the aforementioned Yellow Gold design that I mentioned earlier, the White Gold Grand Complications watch by Patek Philippe might not have a specific price tag on the site, but that’s only because the company typically keeps those things in-house. Still, seeing how this specific model is between the $98,000 and $192,000 range, there’s a good chance it will run the consumer a cool six digits in order to add to their collection. One look at this timepiece, and anyone will want it—assuming they have the cash to do it.
1. Vacheron Constantin – Malte Tourbillon
Price: $192,500
When a watch is expensive as a house, it usually means that it has all the bells and whistles that make it absolutely stunning. Rest assured that the Malte Tourbillon by Vacheron Constantin does just that, bringing a new, contemporary style of this design to a classic style that helps celebrate the 100th anniversary of this specific collection. With a number of naturally hand-beveled angles on the watch that shows the detail it takes to buils just one, it’s no wonder it is the most expensive watch on Tourneau’s website.
