The Best Looking Watch of All Time? The Chronographe Suisse Cie Continental Gransport Regatta.

I’m not one given to histrionics when it comes to watches.  That said I am serious when I say the new Gransport Regatta from Chronographe Suisse & Cie might be the best looking timepiece I’ve ever come across.  Certainly at $11,000+ USD a pop, it isn’t the most affordable watch in the world, but I’ve never been so tempted to let go of eleven big ones on a whim before in my life.

I’ll tell you why I love it so much in one word: masculinity.  Take the coolest of the vintage military watches from Bulova or Omega, combine it with the newest and most fashionable Blancpain and you’ve got the Gransport Regatta.  Tell me I’m wrong…

Regardless of what you think, the simple yet elegant design of this piece must be admired.  The addition of a fabric strap is a very nice touch, easily setting this watch apart from any other.  If I had just avoided Starbucks lattes altogether over the last six years, I might just have enough on hand to purchase this beauty.  That said good luck getting one…they’re limited edition.
