Haven&#8217;t&nbsp;talked about watches for a while but shared some pics on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/champagnegem">Champagne Gem&#8217;s Facebook page</a>.&nbsp;I am growing on rectangular watches more and more, maybe just saw a fashion icon wearing them so urban chic or because my taste&nbsp;beginning&nbsp;to change, what do you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have searched for some ideas and so far I narrowed my list of All Time Rectangular watches down to three most&nbsp;influential&nbsp;watch making brands ever:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.franckmuller.com/">Franck Muller</a>: Art Deco, Grace Curvex</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.iwc.com/" class="broken_link">IWC</a>: Da Vinci Family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.catier.com/">Cartier</a>: Santos Family<br />
If I am ever going to buy and choose one of them, it would definitely be either <a href="http://www.franckmuller.com/">Franck Muller</a> or <a href="http://www.iwc.com/" class="broken_link">IWC</a> as they are pure watch makers and I appreciate being anonymous&nbsp;(not so much head to toe branded) and high quality of craftsmanship.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.franckmuller.com/">Franck Muller</a> just launched the Most Complicated Wrist Watch that was ever made and it contains 36 complications, 1483 components and 99 jewels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not going to write&nbsp;any more, but if you need to refresh your memory on the definitions in watch making industry, read <a href="https://champagnegem.com/2011/12/watches-complicated-or-smooth.html" class="broken_link">&#8220;Watches: Complicated or Smooth&#8221;</a> post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy the heavenly designs next to smooth and classic ones.</div>
