A wrist classic gets a slightly modern update – the Rolex x Fragment Design Explorer watch.

Fragment Design has teamed up with Bamford to give this 1953 adventure classic a makeover, notably a splash of colour on that black background. Everything is as you were – a stylish watch for extreme conditions, complete with self-winding movement, water-resistance and the Oysterlock bracelet.

None of which comes cheap – you're looking at around 15,000 Euros.

A long name, but a small price secures you the Komono Parrot talking digital watch.

Looking like a refugee from the 1980s, the Komono Parrot offers up that basic digital display, three individual-sounding alarms and as you've probably guessed, the option to hear the time rather than read it with a push of the button.

All of that for just under £25.

A gem from the archives is back on the market – the TAG Heuer Silverstone chronograph watch.

Specifically from 1974 and returning in February 2010, the watch features (for the technical amongst you) the automatic caliber 11 Chronomatic with micro-rotor by Dubois-Depraz and engraving that highlights the 150th anniversary of the company. But above all, it's got style, lots of it, as well as a timeless appeal.

To celebrate the year of TAG Heuer's birth, 1860 will be produced for an as-yet undisclosed price. We doubt they will be cheap.
