The term “hyperwatch” refers to highly complicated wristwatches with avant-garde design language and, typically, enormous price tags. The term hasn’t been around long, but it makes sense that it’s seeing increasing usage. The top end of the luxury watch world is becoming increasingly fractured into two distinct camps: aggressively modern design (like Richard Mille and Urwerk) and classic haute horology (like Patek Philippe and Roger Smith). An Urwerk–with futuristic design language and a complex unusual time display–is a great example of a hyperwatch. Few would use that term for a Patek Philippe Grand Complication, though, not that it’s any less impressive. Here’s our quick guide to what a hyperwatch is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
