TITONI – 90th Anniversary Watch
Going by the laurel-framed ’90′ numerals on the dial, Titoni is clearly proud of how far it has come. And why shouldn’t it? 
Founded in 1919, the third generation family-owned Swiss firm continues to march out highly reliable and unfussy watches with great affordability to this day. And its 90th Anniversary Watch is testament to those values. Running on a COSC-certified automatic movement (ETA 2824-2), the watch states its case plainly with a simple dial framed by a classic 40mm round case. The only measure of ostentation it allows itself, besides its anniversary number on the dial and its rotor (visible through a sapphire case back), is a neat presentation box that comes with a separate crocodile patterned leather strap.
EDOX – Super Limited Edition 1884
You might be familiar with Edox‘s sportier diver watches and mistake them for a ‘modern’ brand. But the Swiss brand actually comes from a rather impressive lineage and wants the world to know that as it celebrates its 125th anniversary this year.
The birthday flag bearer of choice is the Super Limited Edition 1884, which houses one of the brand’s most famous technical triumphs, an ultra-slim automatic calendar movement, the Venus 203 (visible through an open case back), that was the world’s slimmest at the time it was created in the early 1950s.
Likewise, the watch’s sombre and classical style befits its stature, anchored by a 41mm Grand Ocean case with 18K gold bezel and silver-plated dial, and a vintage style dial indicating the calendar and moon phase functions with sublime geometry. Available in limited edition of 125 pieces with a crocodile leather strap, the deal is sealed with the edition number engraved on the left side of the case.
