What are the most iconic watches on the planet? It can generate quite a bit of discussion. Because in the end it remains a fairly subjective determination. What does iconic mean? As the Van Dale describes: 'Forming a symbol; = iconic: an iconic photo for the sixties '. But all of this can be taken subjectively. One person thinks it is a symbol, the other doesn't. That is why we asked watch expert ―or no― watch eminence Bernard Werk what his list of iconic watches is. His watchmaking taste: "the more complicated the watch, the more beautiful it is." Then we know for sure that it is a valid opinion. Werk explains: 'The top 13 was somewhat easy to list, they are iconic to everyone. Many people know them and they are one of the most legendary timepieces still for sale. For me, it's the watches that have always stayed with me.

This allowed a diver to read much better the length of time he / she was underwater. A beautiful rolex first copy watches that is also known from James Bond. ' 4: Blancpain Fifty FathomsBlancpain"The first watch with a diving ring - this one is from 1953. Like the Rolex Submariner, it was part of the equipment of many professional divers." 5. Apple Watch 'I think the discussion whether or not the Apple Watch is a watch is nonsense. It is a watch of our time and I think that in a few years it will be seen as a real icon.
