With the event around the corner (which I now get nerdily excited about), I'm curious to know what everyone is hoping for. Or, if you have a prediction, feel free to share!

For me, I'm really hoping for a 44mm Bronzo

And hoping that IWC goes back to the baton style hands with a revival of the Tribute to Mark

But, I'm a realist and Panerai will probably announce e-straps with a horrible logo on the strap and IWC will just show some crazy over the top movement that Tom Cruise will wear in the space movie on the ISS.

What about you guys? Share some photos when applicable (ie: revival of X watch)

Not sure why the "lol" at Chanel. The J12 is a legit watch.

Sure, they can produce a legit watch, but they are a fashion brand ranging from fragrance, handbags, shoes, clothing, sunglasses ect. I might be wrong here but do any others on that list do that? Would be my last choice when it comes to a timepiece at that price point.

Hermes and Montblanc also sell a lot of that other stuff.

Well, I’ll just assume something amazing from Chanel is what your fingers are crossed for then! 😊

No but they do make frames, sunglasses, cufflinks, jewelery, etc

Not to get off topic of the purpose of the thread, my point with Chanel is they have a crazy product breadth and their roots are not in watchmaking. It's neat that they have now made an in-house caliber, but for me - just not my choice. I'm also not into brands that put their logo all over handbags/shoes. Chanel on that list sticks out like a sore thumb to me. But, I'm sure they move plenty of units.

JLC will make another masterpiece of complications that looks like someone designed it by throwing magnets made of complications on a fridge and where it stuck was where it went on the watch

LOL JLC's reverso was nuts last year! It wasn't that random haha. But I do really like your list!
