Wrist candy is sweet, expensive and enthralling. Geneva Watch Days delivered seductive timepieces fit for your inner-Nadal.
Think of a 5am riser, an entrepreneur who lunches at 12pm—an egg and mayo sandwich with lettuce in one hand, and a surfboard tucked under his armpit. He is sporting a floral set of ‘boardies’ while his phone remains unattended for a date with the ocean. He doesn’t mind sand on the floor of his sport’s car—he’ll vaccume it once he arrives home. It’s his routine, which is part of his success. These timepieces are built for this person. You could be that person. Just take a look below.
They may only be two timepieces, and sure they aren’t your staple Rolex Rolex GMT-Master II. However, they are avant-garde and contemporary design made perfect for the casual entrepreneur.
Geneva Watch Days is a timepiece event lauded by many watch collectors around the globe. Geneva Switzerland places Swiss luxury watch brands including; Breitling, Bvlgari, De Bethune, Gerald Genta, Girard-Perregaux, H. Moser & Cie, MB&F, Ulysse Nardin and Urwerk on show for all to admire. The event demonstrates Swiss engineering capabilities surrounding the mechanics of luxury timepieces. Two significant timepieces demanded our attention. Aussie legends tend to know staple watch brands like Rolex and not much else. Too many individuals purchase a timepiece for status checks and wealth markers. While making a watch choice is very similar to choosing a car, these timepieces below signify why ‘sporty’ is now revered by luxury companies across multiple industries as big-time money movers.

The Breitling Endurance Pro
Demand for expensive ‘sport’ timepieces has grown over the last decade. As apposed to orthodox silver bands and familiar gold casing—bold colours and water-resistant bands are detailed for athletic exuberance, and ultimate comfort. Breitling’s Endurance Pro is a casual timepiece collector’s dream. With a 44mm case made from the company’s robust ‘Breitlight’ alloy, being on third the weight if titanium, it’s perfect for the more adventurous-casual entrepreneurs who surf at lunch and train at 5am. The sporting piece is water-resistant to 100 metres, it features a rubber diving strap secured by a twin-pin buckle.
Carl F Bucherer Patravi TravelTec Colour Edition Four Seasons
This electric-blue timepiece may be flamboyant and bright, however its seasonal inspiration draws inspiration from world travellers and the depths of winter. While you may wear this timepiece throughout a hot summer, the band’s bold colour and sleek silver dial allows wearers to keep track of three different timezones at the same time. The Patravi Traveltec originally launched in 2006, has become a staple design of Carl F Bucherer. Wrap this around your wrist in the heart of a Melbourne summer to keep yourself ready for any weather situation.
