Reading Time: 4 minutesWe all remember the first Freak landing in 2001 as a shock to the system, a watch that refused hands, a dial, even a crown, yet felt completely coherent once you spent time with it on the wrist. Two and a half decades later, the Freak line defines a distinctContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesBell & Ross has always drawn from cockpit logic: bold geometry, extreme legibility, functional intent. The BR-05 Blue Diamond Eagle 36mm, however, represents a deliberate departure from that foundation. It still carries the unmistakable round-within-a-square architecture, yet this time the brand reaches beyond instrumentation and into horological artistry. I approachedContinue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutesWhat is the MB&F HM12 The Guardian? An object that tells the time, an objects that express a philosophy, or something that refuses categorisation entirely? Or maybe all…When Maximilian Büsser founded MB&F in 2005, the premise was audacious: build a horological concept laboratory, not a watch brand. Twenty years andContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesURWERK has never built watches for people who want discretion, and the UR-120 Blue Planet confirms that old truth with almost theatrical confidence.

The new Carillon Tourbillon feels like the purest expression of that pursuit. It gathers thirty years of restoration, invention, restraint and ambition into one object that celebrate the Maison’s anniversaryContinue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutesH. Moser & Cie. has never been a brand to shout, but bold and recognisable. It lets the work do the talking, and the new Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Date Ref. 1730-1200 makes a very clear statement indeed. Launched on 27th May 2026, this is a watch that packsContinue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutesCzapek & Cie launched the Promenade Goutte de Rosée in May 2026, and it is already one of the most technically demanding dials I have seen come out of Geneva this year. The brand takes its celebrated Goutte d’Eau ripple design, originally introduced in 2024 in stainless steel with aContinue Reading
Reading Time: 7 minutesJaeger-LeCoultre arrived at the 2026 season with three distinct statements, each pulling in a different but entirely coherent direction. There is the cool, almost severe elegance of a platinum perpetual calendar with a triple-axis tourbillon. There is the golden, bracelet-driven nostalgia of the expanded ‘Or Deco’ Reverso family. And thereContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe DC1 Platinum Art of the Tourbillon is firmly a watch that recount a life’s obsession. David Candaux, the independent watchmaker from Solliat in the Vallée de Joux, launched his DC1 First Eight in steel back in 2017.
