Merry Wristmas from Bulang and Sons

To draw an end to the year, here is a look at what people are choosing for the 25th…

Bernhard Bulang

This year I discovered the Patek Philippe Ellipse and its been my go to watch for most of 2019. I love it – what a great and understated piece! For sure I’ll be wearing it this Christmas Day!

This year for Christmas Day I’ll be wearing the new Tudor Black Bay Chrono Dark…like the Darth Vader of the Tudor Watch family!

Giacomo Castelli

“Earlier this year I got into the pre-quartz era / Landeron 4750 movement electric watches. I became hooked on the very unique dial lay outs including different kind of lightning bolts and unique fonts. This Benrus was maybe the coolest of them with the crazy amount of ‘bolts and the perfect matching 12 index font and the crown position. My companion for this Chritsmas.”

Roberto ‘Jatucka’ Randazzo

“For Christmas Eve I’ll wear this Mickey Mouse watch which I recently found in HK. It has been a very tough and challenging year for me, for Christmas I want to relax and finally enjoy my family. I will wear this watch because it makes me smile and reminds me of my childhood and my very first ever watch. I sincerely wish a Merry Christmas to all of you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I really love the AP perpetual calendar. H bought this watch 10 years ago, when people didn’t really like them. Now that the watch become hot – so maybe I was on to something! It’s an amazing watch when you put it on your wrist. Merry Christmas.”

Eric Ku

“This is my Xmas watch this year. In my eyes the best new release of any brand in 2019. I like how it’s an update or something iconic- the meteorite is an homage to the original white dial 6542 GMT. Got a lot of wrist time since it arrived and will continue to do so into the new year.”

Geoff Hess

“The holidays are all about family, and this 5508 came directly to me from the son and grandson of the original owner in Egypt. They’ve become truly cherished friends, and wearing it on Christmas Day is a perfect way to celebrate being entrusted with their family heirloom and a great reminder of the very best moments in watch collecting.”

I find it so utterly gorgeous and outlandishly glamorous that it truly redefines the feeling of “special” for me.”
