Wear Your Best Watch
And Win A Watch!
How do you win the best watch in a room full of Rolex, Omega, Jacob & Co, Breitling, Maurice Lacroix, and other outstanding Swiss watches?
The judges at Wristwatch Check face an exciting challenge as they inspect and listen to the stories behind each watch. Their job is to choose the best watch. They are looking for the quality of craftsmanship, its rarity, and the story of how you acquired it.
Will you be our next winner? winner?
Showing and discussing your watch with our judges gives you the chance to be celebrated as the person with the Best Watch!
In May 2024, Tom’s Autodromo GT Endurance Chronograph stood out, not just for its rarity but for his deep connection to it. The watch had been made in limited numbers for team members who worked on a supercar in Detroit, and Tom was one of them.
As he spoke of the sleepless nights, the camaraderie, and the fulfilment of creating something truly special, the watch symbolised his growth and journey. Its colours, meticulously chosen to reflect the car, added an intimate layer of meaning that only those involved could fully appreciate.
But Tom wasn’t the only one with a story worth telling—around the room were others whose watches carried legacies of adventure, determination, and chance encounters. Despite the overwhelming quality of every story shared, the judges found themselves drawn to Tom’s narrative of innovation and passion.
It felt right when they finally announced him as the winner; his watch was more than a timepiece—it was a piece of his history. It made the decision one of the toughest of the night, yet undeniably the most fitting.
CONGRATULATIONS TOM FOR WINNING BEST WATCH 2024
