@bulova Bulova is heading into the field as part of the latest attempt to solve one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.

The watchmaker is supporting the Taraia Object expedition on Nikumaroro, where a 17-person team is investigating an anomaly that could potentially offer new evidence in the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan. The pair vanished in July 1937 while attempting to circumnavigate the globe aboard Earhart’s Lockheed Electra 10-E.

Along for the expedition are three watches drawn from very different corners of Bulova’s history: the bronze Mil Ship, inspired by a 1957 U.S. Navy prototype; the gloriously orange Oceanographer “Devil Diver”, with 200 metres of water resistance; and the military-derived Hack Watch. More importantly, they are not merely appearing in campaign imagery. The watches are being worn by members of the expedition in the field.

The search is now focused on the Taraia Object, an anomaly first identified through satellite imagery in 2020 and subsequently found to be visible in aerial photographs dating as far back as 1938. Researchers on Nikumaroro have begun surveying the lagoon using magnetometer and side-scan sonar technology, though the expedition has stressed that it is still far too early to draw conclusions.

Almost 90 years after Earhart disappeared, the story remains unfinished. Bulova is now along for the latest chapter.

@formexwatch Formex takes the Essence Ceramica further into the dark with the new Dark Matter Redshift.

The 41mm case and bracelet are made entirely from zirconium oxide ceramic, but this time the finish is predominantly matte, with finely sandblasted surfaces broken up by narrow diamond-polished accents along the case and bezel.

The dial is cut from solid Muonionalusta meteorite and given a black-gold galvanic treatment that preserves its Widmanstätten pattern while pushing the colour toward deep anthracite and near-black. A red seconds hand, matching lettering and chapter-ring markings add the motorsport reference behind the Redshift name.

Underneath, the familiar Formex engineering remains, including the patented Case Suspension System and full ceramic bracelet with on-the-fly micro-adjustment. Power comes from the COSC-certified Sellita SW200-2 Power+, now delivering up to 65 hours of reserve.

The Formex Essence Ceramica 41mm Dark Matter Redshift is priced at CHF 3,500 / USD 4,450, with production limited to 100 pieces annually.

One of watchmaking’s more intriguing executive moves of the year sees François-Henry Bennahmias reportedly heading to @hublot Hublot as a consultant.

Bennahmias needs little introduction. During more than a decade at the helm of @audemarspiguet Audemars Piguet, he helped take turnover from CHF 630 million to more than CHF 2 billion, tightened distribution, and pushed the Royal Oak deep into popular culture through projects ranging from celebrity partnerships to the much-debated Marvel collaborations.

More recently, Bennahmias has been working on The Honorable Merchants Group, a luxury incubator set to launch watchmaking brand @n3w5watches N3W5. Where this fits in with Bennahmias` Hublot consulting remains to be seen.

The timing of his role at Hublot is especially interesting as @arnaultjean Jean Arnault assumes a broader role across @lvmh LVMH’s watch activities. @julien.tornare Julien Tornare remains CEO, while Bennahmias is, for now, joining in an advisory capacity.

Neither Hublot nor LVMH has publicly detailed the scope of his role, and while no one is questioning Bennahmias proven track record for increasing brand prestige, the question is, just what will be his focus at Hublot.

@thehourglass_official’s @iamwatch_official returns to The Singapore EDITION from 12–15 November 2026, with public days from 13–15 November. Its newly announced program puts the people behind independent watchmaking in the spotlight, with 45 makers and friends of the retailer attending.

The conversations cover starting a watch brand, designing for the present and the relationships between independent makers and larger houses. For “Who Actually Invents Anything Anymore?”, independent watchmakers @andreasstrehler, @karivoutilainen and @rogerwsmithltd join Akrivia founder @rexhep.rexhepi in a discussion moderated by Revolution and The Rake founder @wei_koh_revolution.

George Daniels’s centenary also runs through the program, with lectures by Smith, a conversation featuring @phillipswatches senior consultant Aurel Bacs and a screening of The Watchmaker’s Apprentice. There are also GTGs with established and emerging makers, @manofthehourofficial screenings, and watchmaking masterclasses with Swiss Federal Master Watchmaker Michael Dubs.

In 1980, Carlo Crocco launched @hublot with a gold watch on a rubber strap. Forty-six years later, CEO Julien Tornare has invited the founder back to revisit his original creation.

The result is the Classic Fusion Tributo. Its 38mm case retains the 12 slightly domed bezel screws, with a date at 3 o’clock and the MDM signature at 6. Two versions revisit the design: 18K yellow gold with a matte black dial, and 18K white gold with polished black onyx. Both come on black rubber straps.

The original’s quartz movement makes way for the automatic manufacture calibre HUB1711, offering approximately 60 hours of power reserve. Through the sapphire caseback, an H-shaped rotor appears in 22K gold for the yellow gold model and black tungsten for the white gold version. The case measures 9.5mm thick and is water-resistant to 100m.

The MDM initials carry a personal story, connecting Crocco’s wife Marie-Danielle with his Main Dans la Main Foundation. To mark the launch, Hublot is donating CHF 100,000 to the foundation, which supports vulnerable children and families.

Following the first instalment of Tokyo Watch Week, here’s Part Two. Let’s dive right in.

One of the watchmakers who truly blew me away was Masahiro Kikuno. With a background in repairing rifles and mechanical hardware, he went on to become a self-taught independent watchmaker. Now he teaches watchmaking at a Japanese watchmaking school.

Masahiro Kikuno’s Complication Inherit began as an experiment to explore the possibilities of CNC machining before teaching his students how professional machines could be used in watchmaking. Using an inexpensive CNC machine he purchased himself, Masahiro went on to create a remarkable timepiece combining a minute repeater, chronograph, tourbillon and power reserve indicator, all housed in a 39mm case.

While the components are CNC-machined, the assembly and finishing are carried out entirely by hand. Masahiro produces just two pieces a year, with total production limited to six pieces.

Even more astonishingly, Masahiro is developing a watch featuring an entirely new escapement of his own design. He has already completed a single prototype, with plans to launch the watch approximately three years after the Complication Inherit.

The escapement, demonstrated here with an enlarged plastic model, is a fascinating reinterpretation of the traditional verge-and-foliot escapement. The balance wheel receives direct impulses from a small gear mechanism mounted on the opposite end of the balance staff, featuring specially customised teeth. What makes it even more incredible is that everything is developed in-house in his small atelier in Japan

Sometimes, the most compelling expressions of horology go beyond the wristwatch. Here, we have Fuyu-Geshiki, a timepiece by Shin Ohno, winner of the 2026 F.P. Journe Young Talent Competition.

Inspired by the view of a winter mountain landscape through a traditional Japanese window, Fuyu-Geshiki draws on the natural beauty of Shin Ohno’s hometown in Nagano. The timepiece combines a grande et petite sonnerie, a quarter repeater and a tourbillon.

The acoustic character evokes the gentle flow of water, echoing the tranquillity and serenity of the surrounding natural landscape. The Fuyu-Geshiki is ...

@thehourglass_official @urwerkgeneve’s wandering hours take a new shape with the UR-300 Time Quantum.

The display is built around two independent bars forming a T-shaped frame, with four three-sided prisms carrying the 12 hours. The active hour numeral doubles as the minute pointer, travelling across a 108-degree track at six o’clock.

At the end of each hour, the mechanism rearranges itself in a single coordinated jump. The bars swap horizontal and vertical roles, the supporting carousel advances 72 degrees and all four prisms turn to their next faces, bringing the next hour into position.

The automatic UR-30.01V provides 44 hours of power reserve inside a new grade-5 titanium case measuring 45.2 × 58.8 × 18.25mm. A discreet seconds display sits beside the minute track, while Urwerk’s Dual Flow Turbine regulates the automatic rotor’s speed to reduce wear. The UR-300 Time Quantum come on a NATO strap and is limited to 25 pieces in natural titanium, and 25 in black PECVD-coated titanium.

@citizenwatchus Citizen has given its high-tech ATTESA a distinctly wintry treatment with the new ATTESA EVER SINCE Limited Edition BY1000-69L.

The deep blue dial is inspired by a winter morning, with subtle gradations suggesting distant mountains and glittering details recalling light catching snow and cold air. At six o’clock, Citizen’s Luna Program automatically displays the moon phase above a stylised mountain horizon.

Underneath the scenery is all the technology you would expect from ATTESA. The 41.5mm case and bracelet are made from Super Titanium with DURATECT Platinum, while the Eco-Drive Calibre H874 brings Atomic Timekeeping, Direct Flight across 24 time zones, a perpetual calendar and the fully automatic moon phase display.

Limited to 2,300 pieces worldwide, the Citizen ATTESA EVER SINCE Limited Edition arrives from November 2026 at a projected price of US$1,195.

It is a lot of Citizen technology packed into one watch, but this time the engineering comes with a rather good view.

Five years after their first collaboration, @mingwatches and @massenalab revisit honeycomb with the 57.09 Secret Honey — and this time, the pattern keeps moving.

Above a dark brown, lacquered and circular-brushed base dial, three sapphire disks rotate once every 24 hours, 12 hours and 60 minutes. Their overlapping apertures create a continuously shifting interference pattern, revealing the honey hue as they turn. MING calls the effect “dynamic guilloché”.

The honey-coloured hour and minute indications glow orange with Super-LumiNova. Above them, the indices and both brands’ logos are engraved into the top sapphire crystal and filled with MING Polar White, adding a second luminous layer.

The 40mm grade-5 titanium case carries triple-stepped lugs in three colours: natural titanium outside, yellow-gold-toned TiN coating in the middle and rose-gold-toned TiSiN coating inside. Through the sapphire caseback, the automatic Sellita for MING 330.M2 reveals skeletonised, anthracite-coated bridges. Power reserve is approximately 50 hours. Supplied with Jean Rousseau goat leather and black FKM rubber straps, the Secret Honey is limited to 125 pieces. ...
