@ferdinandberthoud brings the Chronomètre FB 3SPC into darker territory with the new FB 3SPC.4-1, presented at Geneva Watch Days 2026. This is the latest expression of a watch introduced in 2022, retaining the same chronometric architecture and hand-wound FB-SPC calibre. The original FB 3SPC.1 went on to win the GPHG Chronometry Prize in 2023.

For the new reference, the 42.3mm case is made from lightweight, scratch-resistant ceramised titanium and given a muted sandblasted finish. It also introduces the first crown guard and black fabric strap seen within the FB 3SPC collection.

The monochromatic palette continues across the black-varnished displays and black-rhodium-treated nickel silver movement. Its eight forms of decoration include traditional hand-bevelling, with 102 exterior angles and 15 inner angles completed by hand. Calibre FB-SPC retains its cylindrical balance-spring with two hand-shaped terminal curves, along with COSC certification, a 3Hz frequency and a 72-hour power reserve. ...

@lepee_1839 turns the beautiful game into mechanical sculpture with The Football, a full-scale spherical clock containing 882 components.

Measuring 220mm across and weighing 4.2kg, the creation follows the proportions and classic 32-panel geometry of a real football. Its pentagons and hexagons form an openworked exoskeleton around the movement, allowing the escapement and gear train to remain visible from multiple angles.

Hours and minutes are displayed on two rotating, satin-finished discs integrated into the curvature of the sphere and revealed through separate hexagonal apertures. A dedicated key positioned at the top is used to wind the movement and set the time.

The in-house, manually wound movement beats at 2.5Hz and delivers an eight-day power reserve. The Football rests on a wooden base and can be positioned at different angles for display. Four configurations are available, each limited to 99 pieces: Full Gold-Plated, Full Palladium-Plated, Two-Tone with Black Numerals and Two-Tone with Gold Numerals. ...

Following the Laureato’s 50th anniversary in 2025, @girardperregaux continues the collection’s evolution with the Laureato Fifty Tourbillon Mini-Rotor 39mm.

The new model combines five enduring signatures of the Manufacture: the Laureato’s architectural case, Grand Feu enamel, Clous de Paris decoration, sculptural movement bridges and a lyre-shaped tourbillon cage. Two dial executions are available. One features translucent blue Grand Feu enamel crafted entirely in-house, while the other is made from solid 18K gold with a rose-toned finish. Both carry the Clous de Paris motif, which is echoed across the two large white-gold bridges visible through the caseback.

Powering the watch is the new Manufacture calibre GP8410, pairing a tourbillon with a micro-rotor. It is Girard-Perregaux’s fourth entirely new calibre within 12 months, following the GP4800, GP9620 and GP9530. ...

@alangesoehne arrives at this year’s Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace with a formidable trio: the first platinum Triple Split and two compact 1815 Up/Down models in white and pink gold.

Limited to 100 pieces, the Triple Split combines a 43.2mm platinum case with a rhodié dial, dark grey registers, blued rattrapante hands and restrained red accents. It remains the only split-seconds chronograph capable of recording intermediate and comparative times across seconds, minutes and hours for up to 12 hours, with flyback functionality extending across all six chronograph hands.

Inside is the manually wound calibre L132.1, a 567-part construction coordinating three rattrapante mechanisms, two isolators, a precisely jumping minute counter and a six-hand flyback.

The 1815 Up/Down, meanwhile, returns in a more compact 37.5mm case, offered in white or pink gold with an ink-blue solid-silver dial and contrasting silver subdials. Both retain the manually wound calibre L051.2, delivering a 72-hour power reserve, and are limited to 300 pieces per metal.

@trilobewatches raises a glass to Burgundy with the Château Trente-Deux, a rich new interpretation of its sportier, integrated-bracelet collection.

Inspired by the concepts of terroir and robe — the colour and appearance of wine — its deep-red dial combines a matte sunburst main disc with a glossy lacquered finish, finely grained hour and minute discs, and brushed, chamfered steel details.

The familiar 39.5mm steel case retains its coin-edge bezel and integrated bracelet, while Trilobe’s automatic X-Nihilo manufacture movement provides 42 hours of power reserve. The first 100 watches will feature an exclusive caseback engraving and arrive with a special bottle of French wine. After that, the Château Trente-Deux will remain part of Trilobe’s regular collection.
