Carbon-Fiber Dial WatchConcord, $10,500
For all the bells and whistles a watch can offer, you really need it to be only two things—besides accurate: strong and light. Look for one with a carbon-fiber dial, this year’s biggest watch trend (in case you weren’t keeping score). Composed of carbon atoms bonded in a hexagonal grid, carbon fiber is an unusually lightweight material that’s already been used in jet planes and space-shuttle research. So, yeah, it is costly. But it can be had at a variety of prices, by labels such as Bell & Ross, Bulgari, and Oris.
