Of course, the fact that reference 5443 is a manual-winding rectangular watch struck the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, Rado True Square and Nomos Glashütte Tetra off my list. This does not mean that there are no other targets in my sights, although I confess to being circumspect about what I discuss publicly. To continue something of a tradition at WOW Singapore though, I will once more advocate for a piece by a brand that I have long championed this time, it is Blancpain. What might surprise some of you is that it is a traditional Fifty Fathoms, not a Bathyscaphe variant.
