Watches with celebrity endorsements – why some work and some don't

OK, I've gushed a little too hard over the BR05, but I have let my eyes wander and size up a few other watches, including the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date in bronze This bronze edition of the Big Crown Pointer Date is a winner There's a lot of on-trend stuff going on, the most obvious being the bronze case, which gives the watch a retro look that will become even more distinguished with time.

The other features reflect the name, including the big crown and the fourth hand on the dial that points to the date, which is marked with an outer ring Available on Mr Porter, the Big Crown Pointer Date in bronze is priced at HK$12,079 Despite the splash of colour and speedometer look the dial is clean and modern, and I'm a big fan of the unortho­dox placement of the date window, under the small seconds.

Nomos wins extra points for its excellent move­ments, which are made in-house in Germany. . Source
