The inclusion of prestigious brands like A. Lange & Söhne and H. Moser & Cie adds significant value and exclusivity. ### Ideas for Improvement 1. **Add a Sport/Active Watch**: Introduce a sport-oriented watch to enhance versatility. Consider the **Omega Seamaster Diver 300M** for its robust build and water resistance, priced around $6,000. 2. **Incorporate a Travel Watch**: A GMT or world-time watch would add functionality for frequent travelers. The **Rolex GMT-Master II** offers dual-time functionality and is priced within the collection's range. 3. **Expand Casual/Everyday Options**: A versatile everyday watch like the **Tudor Black Bay 58** would complement the collection's formal pieces, offering durability and style at approximately $4,000. ### Downsizing Advice Consider removing the **H. Moser & Cie Pioneer Centre Seconds** if downsizing is necessary. While it is a high-quality piece, it overlaps with the Endeavour in terms of brand and style, and its removal would have minimal impact on the collection's overall rating. ## Watch by Watch Summary 1. **A.
