An acquaintance of mine is in the watch-business, and in that regard we were visiting one of the importers for several nice watches in Norway.
Eterna watches like Kon-Tiki and Porsche was on the list of watches on display and of which I tried some. The one I liked the most was from Porsche design. It was 18K carat gold and had a store-price of about 17,000 USD.
PGC Rosé Gold Automatic Chronograph with crocodile strap
The casing is made of 18-carat rosé gold. The PGC version of the Dashboard range is dynamic and modern with Arabic numerals.
It features a Kaliber Eta 2894-2 clockwork automatic mechanism with self-winding capability. Its rotor vanes are made of robust titanium combined with black-painted heavy metal. Through them, the key components of the clockwork mechanism can be viewed. The sapphire glass base reveals the unusual rotor system. The crown and base of the casing are screwed on. A tachometer scale features scratch-resistant sapphire glass, anti-glare treated on both sides. Optional with rubber strap.
Water resistance: up to 100 m depth
That was the cheap one. I also tried an expensive one, which was engrossed with diamonds all around. This was on display from Porsche Design, and the owner of the store wouldn't inform me of the price of it.
The casing is made of 18-carat rosé gold, the bezel is jewelled with 64 diamonds. The PGC version of the Dashboard range is classic and purely modern with a perfectly untrammeled design.

I was impressed with my Timex Indiglo Alarm untill I saw this. ;-/
I personally would never buy any wrist watch which did not support full 4096 bit encryption.
Looks nice. The price is a bit steep though 😛
