Reading Time: 3 minutesSome watches are clever. Fewer are genuinely necessary. The Dominique Renaud Pulse60 belongs to a rarer subset: watches that seem obvious in retrospect, as if the idea had always existed and someone simply needed the conviction to build it.Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesGreubel Forsey has closed the Balancier Convexe S² chapter with two final executions: one in black ceramic with 5N red gold, the other in white ceramic, each limited to 11 pieces and both built around the same hand-wound inclined-balance calibre that will leave production in 2026. I find that decisionContinue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesDOXA and Rome have never crossed paths quite like this. For March 2026, the Biel-based manufacture joins forces with Gioielleria Grande, its Roman retail partner, to deliver the SUB 200 Grande Roma: the brand’s first ever special series dedicated to Italy, limited to just 50 individually numbered pieces. The resultContinue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesRaymond Weil celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2026 by doing what it does best: delivering genuinely attractive, technically coherent Swiss dress watches at prices that feel almost unfair. The Millesime Small Seconds “Tuxedo” builds directly on the GPHG Challenge Prize-winning collection from 2023, pushing it into a bolder aesthetic directionContinue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen Hanhart replaces “ES” with “TI” on its legendary 417 Pilot chronograph, it signals a genuine shift in material philosophy, not a cosmetic update. Available in 39mm – Ref. H701L.250 and 42mm – Ref. H721L.250, each limited to 200 pieces, the 417 TI Desert Pilot marks the first time thisContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesI have spent considerable time with independent Swiss maisons over the past few years, and few balance heritage with genuine technical ambition the way Eberhard & Co. does. Founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1887, the brand has operated under just two family successions across nearly 140 years, a remarkable continuityContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesI’ll be honest with you: when Bremont first told me about a Felix the Cat collaboration, I raised an eyebrow. Then I saw the watch, and that eyebrow came straight back down. So here it is, the Bremont Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’.Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesGerald Charles has built something genuinely interesting since the Masterlink launched in 2024, forging a coherent, technically ambitious sports watch identity rooted in Gerald Genta’s legacy. Now, with the Masterlink Boutique Edition Ref. ML1.0-SSDB-00SR-SBDP-BTQ, the Geneva-based manufacture takes that foundation into darker, more sculptural territory. This is desired not asContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Phoenix does not shout. It glows. MING‘s second iteration of the 57.04 platform picks up exactly where the sold-out Iris left off, and this time the brand dials back the spectacle just enough to let the architecture speak… And the result, beneath that sober grey exterior, is genuinely thrilling.Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere are just five of these in existence. Released today, the Mirrored Force Resonance Ruby is Armin Strom‘s most audacious dial statement yet. Claude Greisler, the master watchmaker who revitalised the brand in 2009, has long held that materials must carry meaning beyond aesthetics. In ruby, he finds a materialContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesI will be straightforward: when I first heard that Favre Leuba, the second-oldest Swiss watchmaking brand founded in Le Locle in 1737, was joining forces with Timepiece 787, a collector community rooted in Puerto Rico, I was genuinely intrigued. The Deep Raider Revival X Timepiece 787 is the outcome ofContinue Reading
