Hermes traditionally tends toward conservative design but their latest timepiece is a modern addition to their collection. The Hermes Carre H Watch was designed by French architect Marc Berthier and runs $15,000 with a run limited of 173 pieces. Found on Uncrate, the titanium watch is water resistant to 30 meters and features a 44 hour power reserve.

This may possibly be the best and most classic watch ever; in fact, I have wanted Cartier's Tank Francaise since the beginning of high school. While in San Juan, P.R., after sophomore year of high school, we went into Cartier and I fitted the watch under pretense that my parents were looking for a graduation present. It was perfect: the weight, the look, the feel. This will be my college graduation present to myself from myself -- I can say goodbye to a kidney if that's what it takes, it's gorgeous.

According to Wikipedia, Cartier is currently the no. 1 seller of luxury jewelery in the world, and the no. 2 seller of luxury watches (after Rolex). The Tank Francaise was created by Louis Cartier in 1917 and inspired by the new Renault tanks which Cartier saw on the Western Front.
