The watch world currently looks to be in the mood for a little Rhapsody in Blue, and these timepieces will surely be music to the ears of any true blue collector.
1 Electric blue accents on the dial and leather strap of the Franc Vila FV Evos 8 “Cobra” Chronograph Large Date Automatic lend an extra zing to this already edgy watch, which is limited to 88 pieces. The audacious elliptical-shaped titanium case houses an automatic movement that powers the chronograph function and double-window “big date” calendar at 12 o’clock ($31,000).
2 The Piaget Polo FortyFive chronograph timepiece takes a different approach to the blue-faced watch. Using the color solely on the three central counters gives the dial a dynamic focus that works well for the sporty yet elegant timepiece. The titanium and stainless steel case is home to one of Piaget’s famous 880P ultra-thin self-winding movements ($18,900).
3 Sometimes it just takes a pop of color to transform a timepiece. Case in point: The Chronofighter Oversize Referee watch from Graham. As the Official Timekeeper of the 2012 RBS 6 Nations Championship in rugby, the 47mm titanium watch touts a colorful second counter at 3 o’clock with a colored stripe for each team’s home hue. Pair that with a blue hypoallergenic strap and this watch is ready to take the field ($9,265).
