While most of us picture the Bambino or Mako collections when we think of Orient watches, the Japanese brand owned by Seiko Epson Corporation can make much more advanced and refined watches, especially under the Orient Star umbrella. We’ve seen this especially this year, as the brand celebrates its 75th anniversary, with models such as the M34 F8 Skeleton Hand Winding or…
There’s no denying the Bulova Lunar Pilot collection is a modern classic. Since its introduction in 2016, the contemporary Lunar Pilot has been a fan favorite in Bulova’s lineup, drawing enduring attention from enthusiasts around the globe. However, these enthusiasts have long requested one simple change to the line: a more compact, vintage-style case diameter.…
If you remember the original Stratton, you’ll know it quickly became one of Farer’s best-selling moonphase watches. It had charm, but the hand-painted moon perhaps leaned a little too heavily into cartoon territory for some. Well, the Stratton is back. It has returned with a spectacular photorealistic moonphase and a rich stone dial. And it’s…
Roger Dubuis created a powerful storyline for its Excalibur Knights of the Round Table watches, featuring incredibly detailed micro-sculptures and métiers d’art to depict scenes from Arthurian legend housed in large, complex cases. After launching a women’s line with its Velvet collection in 2012, Excalibur also released a scaled-down, more feminine version of the Excalibur…
You don’t see watches like this too often, so if you have to look twice to understand what’s going on, that’s perfectly understandable. I had to look twice at the unusual Chopard L.U.C 1963 Heritage Regulator to realize I was dealing with something you don’t see every day. A standard regulator watch shows the hours,…
Some watches, when I discover them in my inbox, feel like they always should have existed. Even against all odds. Strangely, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dual Time x Vianney Halter felt just like such a watch to me, even though there is no rhyme or reason how these two worlds can, could, or should come…
Audemars Piguet added a time-and-date 38mm Code 11.59 watch to the collection in 2023, a more compact, slimmer, and redesigned version of the original series launched in 2019. The first 38mm models came with stamped dials featuring a signature ripple pattern in light blue (“Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50”), green and black, in rose gold cases.…
When I think of TAG Heuer, I think of racing, chronographs, and the iconic Monaco. So when the brand invited us to the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid and asked me which watch I wanted to borrow for the weekend, I immediately knew it would be the new titanium Monaco. It’s one of those…
Another year of the Windup Watch Fair is in the books, and what a year it was. I’ve probably written or said some version of this a dozen times before, but when we started Windup in 2015, we had no idea what it would become. What started as a small collection of brands in a…
Few small brands can claim to have the kind of success that anOrdain has experienced in recent years. Their enamel dials are so sought after that clients sit on a waitlist that reportedly stretches out to 2030. While some very high end, handmade or bespoke watches take that long or even longer to produce, waiting…
The most emblematic watch created by Louis Vuitton (first introduced in 2002), the Tambour has been thoughtfully revamped since 2023, starting with the release of a well-calibrated integrated sports watch. But this was just the beginning for the French powerhouse, as LV had far more ambitious plans for its icon, including the return of the…
French watchmaker Depancel introduces a new limited edition of its Autosport collection for the 2 Tours d’Horloge, a 24-hour endurance race for historic racing cars held at Circuit Paul Ricard. Created in 1992 by Éric Van de Vyver, the event brings together GTs, Touring Cars, Sport Prototypes and Sports 2000 in a non-stop race that…
For a watchmaker whose identity revolves around astronomy, star-shaped hour markers feel like a natural fit. Yet the Ace Jewelers x Christiaan van der Klaauw stAriadne marks the Dutch manufacturer’s first use of them. Created with Amsterdam-based Ace Jewelers, this limited edition of 50 pieces gives the Ariadne a distinctive combination of celestial details and…
Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we return after more travel and a birthday celebration to discuss the Japanese watch market. While the topic may sound quizzical, the Land of the Rising Sun presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. We talk about this and more! This podcast player…
We mentioned it here a while ago, but the Omega Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer, a watch developed with the help of ESA engineers for missions on the Red Planet, has been quietly removed from the catalog. The Speedmaster X-33 was developed in the 1990s with the help of General Thomas Stafford, among others, and introduced to…
The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is the brand’s hallmark aviator’s watch, introduced in 1938 and characterised by an oversized crown and a central pointer hand that indicates the date around the perimeter. However, the collection includes more than one Big Crown Pointer Date, with variants defined by their movements and design cues. The model…
Honestly, I only recently went hands-on with the Kiwame Tokyo Kubo Sakura. We have a team of editors, each with different interests and preferences, and Kiwame Tokyo simply wasn’t on my radar. I was pleasantly surprised when I wore it, though, so I am curious to see how watch fans will receive this new Kubo…
PS Horology is an independent Swiss watch brand founded in 2022 by Peter Speake, a watchmaker well-known to our readers. The Tsuba collection, an integrated-style sporty-chic watch named after the Japanese sword guard, was introduced in 2025 with the Tsuba Blue and Tsuba Dong Son, boasting a distinctive case design inspired by the symbolism of the…
Independent Swiss watch brand Norqain has launched at luxury department store Harrods in Knightsbridge, London, as part of its ongoing expansion across the UK and Ireland.
One of my favorite watch brands to cover is Louis Vuitton, because of how unpredictable their new release or next brand direction will be. The Paris-based luxury firm clearly makes a lot more than just watches, but even within its watch catalog, it benefits from a level of diversity that few high-end firms enjoy. Different…
