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
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
