I think I'd have to go with the Tag Heuer Monaco V4... absolutely amazing, ground breaking in many ways, and still has the Monaco heritage.

Love it.

Our shop in Switzerland (or partner) had a hand in making this watch. I forget exactly, but have followed the evolution of this design since near inception. I love the idea of belts instead of sprockets and it just looks killer.

We had a client who wanted to design something similiar with belts, but the inital tooling cost was more than he could afford.

I'd love to see this watch mass-produced!

Nice looking watch, for a non-conventional looking watch. What kills me is these manufacturers putting rubber straps, with their name stamped in, on multi thousand dollar watches. I bought an Invicta years ago that came with a rubber strap and I changed it to a leather strap and it looks 1000x better.
