We are officially one-third of the way through the year, which means we are due for another edition of your favorite segment, the Instagram Watch Power Rankings. Here’s the deal: I’ve neglected my family, friends, and work responsibilities to comb through Instagram for the better part of my life, picking out the very best pieces that pop up in my feed. Think of this as a chance to enjoy some interesting and unique watches put in a scientifically correct order. Congratulations in advance to those who made the list.

We used to be a proper country… that made watches specifically to time yachting regattas. I don’t know shit about these events but the 15-10-5 is apparently useful for timing out yacht racing. It’s cool that every yacht timing watch is a stunner: consider the Heuer Skippererra or its Yachtimer.
