6 Top High-Tech Luxury Watches for Men

Watches—like most accessories—range in quality, price, and detail. While any regular old watch will suffice when it comes to telling the time, there are plenty of watches that go beyond the norm, incorporating unique—and of course pricey—features that will be sure to impress just about anyone. These 6 high-tech luxury watches for men will definitely make your jaw drop:

1. Panerai Luminor Marina Carbotech
Retailing at $17,400, this high-tech watch from Panerai ensures high performance while still being lightweight, thanks to its case being made of a proprietary material. Compressed under high pressure, the structure’s combination of thin carbon fiber sheets with PEEK—also known as polyether ether ketone, a high-end polymer—makes the material even stronger than plain old carbon fiber. As if this watch wasn’t cool enough, the mechanical movement also has an Incabloc anti-shock device to provide maximum protection.

2. Astronomia Sky
Retailing at $680,000, this gorgeous watch from Jacob & Co. is even better than just a device that tells time. In addition to being made of 18-karat rose gold showcases the physical 24-hour rotation of our planet Earth, along with the stars that are visible in the Northern Hemisphere at night. In total, there’s 395 moving parts within the watch.

3. Vortex Primary
Retailing at $199,500, this beautiful watch from Hautlence is more art piece than time-teller. Complete with 19 different stained-glass panels crafted from blue spinel, ruby, and sapphire, this watch is sure to make a statement. The cherry on top? French soccer player Eric Cantona—also a collaborator on the Vortex Primary—having his fingerprint engraved in the glass.

4. MP-05 LaFerrari
Retailing at $300,000, this limited edition watch from Hublot was created as a tribute to LaFerrari supercar and has 637 moving parts. Within the watch, anodized aluminum cylinders—a rich black in color—rotate slowly, displaying the time as well as the remaining power within the mechanism.

5. Blackjack
Retailing at $200,000, this striking watch from Christopher Claret does more than just tell time—it’s your own personal casino! With a game of Blackjack on the face of the watch—yes, one that fully functions!—as well as a working roulette wheel on the reverse and a dice cage on the side, this watch is an absolute must for men that love gambling!

6. Récital 18 The Shooting Star
Retailing at $300,000, this stunning watch from Bovet features a dialed globe upon its face, meaning that no matter what, you’ll always know what time it is anywhere and everywhere in the world. This one’s definitely great for travelers!
