This September was proof positive that the watch industry is only growing more dynamic and exciting at all price points. Case in point? Microbrand favorite Raven Watches released a killer new version of its Trekker dive watch for just $650, while Hublot teamed up with Save Our Rhinos Africa and India (SORAI) on a special-edition Spirit of Big Bang for $110,000. (Part of the proceeds go to rhino conservation efforts.) And these are only the extremes of the price spectrum. In between, we’ve got brand-new Marathon dive watches, a fresh case size for the classic Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, and a “rainbow” chronograph from Louis Erard that won’t break the bank. Enjoy the wide swath of horological heat in this month’s best watches!
