Square has a bad wrap. The rigid, even shape becoming analogous with those who are uncultured, safe and un-hip. But when it comes to the watch world \u2014 square is the exception. With round watches ruling the market, square watches have the creative space to be bold and embrace their imposing shape. <\/span><\/p>\n

I mean \u2014 when was the last time you saw a square watch and didn\u2019t instantly have an opinion? Exactly<\/span>. This watch shape breaks the mold (quite literally), grabbing our attention and evoking serious emotions as our eyes inspect its sharp corners. So, we\u2019re here to challenge you to ask yourself why you\u2019ve never really considered a square watch. With a wide variety of sharp, masculine and modern square choices \u2014 it might just be the piece that you\u2019ve always been looking for.<\/p>\n

Here are a few luxury watch brands<\/a> that fit the bill.<\/p>\n

Tag Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Bamford Edition<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tag Heuer has produced a square watch that has been capturing hearts and wrists since its introduction (Image: Bamford).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let\u2019s get this out of the way first. When you envision a square watch, you probably automatically think of a vintage Monaco \u2014 maybe with a shiny alligator band, stainless body and that signature blue face. This watch has been given a serious facelift in recent years, though, embracing not only modern design but modern materials. The Bamford model isn\u2019t your fathers Monaco, kids (although, if you\u2019re into that, you can find Steve McQueen styled Monacos<\/a>, too). <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>But the Bramford Tag Heuer is a breed all its own. You\u2019d think the black dial and bright aqua blue chronograph counters would be the highlight, but the black-marbled carbon case is what gives this square watch a sharp, masculine look made for the modern man. Flip it over and you can peer through the steel and sapphire caseback to peer at the Swiss, 30mm Calibre 11 movement inside boasting a 40-hour power reserve. It\u2019s like they couldn\u2019t help themselves, though, and decided to pair this extremly modern watch with a traditional alligator strap But we don\u2019t mind it \u2014 at least it\u2019s been given this wonderful matte finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nomos Tetra 27\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"square

Square watches feel inherently vintage, so for the stainless steel Tetra 27, NOMOS decided to lean into it. The German watchmaker is world-renowned for their modern designs featuring clean typography that\u2019s simplicity evokes a feeling of a simpler time. Together with the thin, angular case of the Tetra, NOMOS was able to create a timepiece that, with a champagne face and leather band, nods to the past while clean numerals and an orange second hand add just a touch of contemporary flare. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Making it all the more modern, the design is unisex. Not only does it appeal to men and women but it\u2019ll look great on both wrists \u2014 sitting a bit smaller on a man\u2019s wrist and making just enough of a statement on a woman\u2019s. Inside is a modern Glash\u00fctte Alpha<\/a> mechanism ticking with 17 jewlels and a sizeable 43-hour power reserve. A handsome watch with impeccable craftsmanship and an affordable price \u2014 the Tetra is kind of the \u2018it\u2019 modern square watch at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hermes\u00a0<\/b>Carre H <\/b><\/h2>\n
\"Square

Hermes might be a historic, sober, luxury brand \u2014 but this watch is a real modern standout. Designed in collaboration with Marc Berthier back in 2010, the watch has been given an even more modern facelift this year that has watch collectors and fans of the brand equally excited. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Now, there are two models to choose from \u2014 the jet black model featuring a bright red second hand or the gray featuring an eye-catching yellow second hand. Both have bold white Arabic numerals circling the dial and a cross-hatch guilloch\u00e9 in the center which plays with the light and adds some dynamism to this otherwise clean face. And while the stainless 38mm case sits boldly on the wrist, the rounded edges soften the look and make it feel approachable. By no means is this watch understated, but being Hermes, it has a classic touch that feels inherently timeless, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cartier Santos<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"square

No list of square watches would be complete without the Carter Santos. One of the first documented wristwatches ever, and certainly the first “pilot’s watch” the Cartier Santos was created in 1904, to meet the request of Brazilian inventor and aviation pioneer,\u00a0Alberto Santos-Dumont<\/a>, who requested that Cartier make him a wrist mounted watch so that his hands could remain free to operate the controls of his early airplane.<\/p>\n

For well over 100 years, the Santos has been a mainstay of the Cartier watch collection, and despite its remarkably long production, the overall design of the Santos has reminded unchanged. Today, the Cartier Santos exits in a number of different sizes and forms, with a variety of different complications and metal combinations; however it always retains its classic square shape and prominent bezel.<\/p>\n

So, what do you think of these modern square watches? Are you ready to be square? <\/span>
