Reading Time: 3 minutesFor the next Geneva Watch Week 2026, the watch world already handed me a number of surprises, and the Breva Geneve “Segreto di Lario” Meridian Gold is one of them. Founded in 2010 by Vincent Dupontreuе, this Geneva independent had vanished for years before relaunching in 2025 with the SegretoContinue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesBell & Ross built its reputation on cockpit instruments and bold geometry. So when I first encountered the BR-05 Blue Diamond Eagle 36mm, I admit my scepticism ran deep. Jewellery-oriented pieces from aviation-rooted brands too often feel like a forced gimmick. This one, however, genuinely surprised me.Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ll be honest: I wasn’t expecting DOXA to genuinely surprise me like this in the first months of 2026. The Le Locle brand has always played familiar territory: bold colours, robust tool-watch architecture, and outstanding value. Then the SUB 200 II landed, and I immediately spotted something new. DOXA introducesContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesThere are watches that tell time and watches that tell a story. Then, occasionally, there are watches that tell your story, and Krayon’s PAC-MAN series, unveiled for the Time To Watches Geneva in April 2026, falls squarely into that rarer category. Fifteen unique platinum pieces, each powered by the celebratedContinue Reading
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
