Sure, you can have the most beautifully constructed watch, but if you don’t harness the energy that’s generated by winding it properly, it’s useless. Luckily, we’ve figured out how to regulate that a long time ago and in some watches, you get a very practical display to keep track of things.

Watch legends are tough acts to follow. The groundbreaking Royal Oak of 1972, Gerald Genta's luxury steel sports watch that founded an entirely new genre, was revisited in 1993 with the Royal Oak Offshore provoking as disparate reactions as the original.
