Reading Time: 3 minutesBell & Ross has taken the BR-X3 concept and pushed it into a genuinely technical register with the BR-X3 Micro-Rotor, a 40 mm limited edition of 99 pieces priced at EUR 22,500. What I find most compelling is the way the brand turns structure into design, because here the caseContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhen Greubel Forsey introduced the Balancier 3 in 2023, the watchmaking world paid close attention. Not because the atelier suddenly became affordable, at CHF 160,000, it hasn’t, but because this limited edition of 88 pieces per colourway represents the brand’s most deliberate effort to distil its horological DNA into something leaner,Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesTwenty-one years after launching in 2005, the Tradition collection returns for 2026 with five new references that are the most colour-forward interpretation of this architecture Breguet has ever offered. I’ve been watching this collection evolve for years, and these updates feel like a genuine reset in ambition: four Seconde RétrogradeContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesI have known Michiel Holthinrichs personally for nine years, and in that time I have watched him build something genuinely rare: a Dutch independent brand that consistently advances its own logic rather than chasing external validation. In 2026, his Delft-based atelier celebrates a decade of watchmaking, and the occasion callsContinue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesMaghnam dropped the embargo on the Mohareb New Generation yesterday, on 26th March, but the real debut comes in just a few weeks, when Sohaib Maghnam brings the watch to Watch Week Geneva, running 13th to 19th April 2026. The Palestinian-Jordanian engineer and designer has evolved his flagship model intoContinue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutesParmigiani Fleurier occupies a peculiar position in Swiss watchmaking. As one of the very few true manufactures that cuts its own hairsprings, assembles its own escapements, and finishes its own cases under one roof in Fleurier, the brand earns the right to talk seriously about in-house credentials. The Tonda PFContinue Reading
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
