Whether you’re seeking men’s or ladies watches, you are sure to find something that fits the bill in 2012.

Some of the watches that are set to turn heads and open wallets in 2012 include:

Tag Heuer Watches – The luxury Swiss watchmaker, Tag Heuer, is synonymous with quality and the timepieces that they have in store for 2012 have already got the excitement levels high amongst watch enthusiasts. One of the watches from Tag Heuer which is expected to be one of the most popular new arrivals in 2012 is that of the Tag Heuer Monza watch which is largely styled on the much vaunted 1970’s watch of the same name.

Baume & Mercier Watches – Switzerland certainly has somewhat of a monopoly on the most striking and devilishly stylish luxury mens watches and Baume & Mercier are one of the most recognisable names in the world of horology. The Geneva based watch company are famed for their understated timepieces and this is something that makes them attractive to those who don’t want to show off with their watch. There are other makes of luxury watch for that – Baume and Mercier is all about breath taking style and all their watches certainly boast the ‘wow’ factor and this is sure to make them one to watch in 2012.

U-Boat Watches – Italian fashion isn’t just limited to clothing, they also have a certain knack for knocking up some pretty striking luxury watches. Famed for their oversized faces and bold designs, U-Boat watches have acquired many fans amongst men of all ages and their watches are amongst the most distinctive on the market. There are many fabulous collections to choose from when it comes to U Boat watches but one of the biggest that 2012 has in store is that of the Flightdeck collection and they are likely to be flying off the shelves.

Whether you’re looking for men’s or ladies watches in 2012, there are certain brands that are likely to have a big year for both genders. U-Boat watches, Tag Heuer and Baume and Mercier are just some of the names to keep an eye on over the next 12 months.
