Famous Watches, reviews, main models, and features

What do we mean with the term "Famous Watches"? At first glance, it might seem quite generic; in our opinion, it includes a specific class of timepieces, either luxury and affordable. Thus, this column consists of those watches belonging to the most prestigious luxury watch brands (the Royal Oak Jumbo 15202 is a great example) and those crafted by brands as prestigious, whose price point is affordable instead. The latter group includes collections belonging to brands like, for instance, Citizen and Seiko.
