It should come as no surprise that lovers of fine watchmaking have a penchant for quirky little cartoon guys on their dials, but the relationship between the British tool-watch brand and the venerable Felix, who was created in 1919, makes a surprising amount of sense. Inspired by the United States Navy fighter squadron VFA-31, known as the Tomcatters, who operate under the callsign ‘Felix’, and have a distinctive black-and-yellow insignia of a running Felix the Cat, carrying a suitably cartoonish bomb with a lit fuse. It’s a motif with a rich history, dating back to the historic VF-3, Squadron, who fought at Midway in WWII.

@bremontwatches Bremont’s take on this military motif is a blacked-out titanium MB Meteor with an applied Felix at the bottom of the dial, a clear homage to the Tomcatters insignia, though this version has swapped out the bomb, and is instead making off with the applied six, a bit of design that is both whimsical and a nice nod to the military jargon of ‘watching your six’, or having your back.

Marrying the worlds of horology and cartoons can be a delicate line to walk, and can be risky. But when done well, it can result in some real magic, and I think that’s what Bremont has done here. Not only is it a watch with plenty of charm and a dahs of whimsy, it’s also one that is authentically on-brand for Bremont and it’s strong military ties. The watch is limited to 500 pieces.

@parmigianifleurier Parmigiani Fleurier`s latest take on the sleek and sporty Tonda PF Automatis is the 36mm stainless steel Alta Rosa model. The signature Grain d’Orge guilloché dial for which the brand is famous is, as always, front and centre, but here it is realised in a subtle pink hue. The brand notes that this hue is the result of a continuation of coherent chromatic and architectural research, the latest step in an evolving palette of tones. Regardless of how you describe it, we think the combination of soft dial with that pronounced and sporty silhouette is a winning one. ...

@louisvuitton Louis Vuitton’s Escales Autour du Monde pocket watch journey heads to Japan with the Escale au Mont Fuji – a one-off haute horlogerie scene that pairs the theatre of a Jacquemart automata with a minute repeater, then seals it with exceptional métiers d’art techniques.

The dial captures a peaceful spring dawn as the sun rises behind Mount Fuji, brought to life through four animations: a compass rose spinning at 12; a delicate wooden fishing boat gliding right-to-left while carrying sculpted gold Louis Vuitton trunks that slowly open and close to reveal Monogram flowers; mythical Ebisu at the helm with his fishing rod and tai sea bream; and Sakura blossoms shaped like Louis Vuitton Monogram flowers, swaying gently in the wind. Framing it all is a bezel set with 60 baguette-cut sapphires, individually selected and set in colour gradation to echo the pastel sky.

Power comes from the manual-winding LFT AU14.03 calibre, comprising 561 components, which integrates a minute repeater with an automata module and a tourbillon. The hands sit on the caseback rather than the dial, keeping the front entirely devoted to artistry. Crafted at @lafabriquedutemps La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton in Geneva, the Escale au Mont Fuji is a double perspective: mechanical vision behind, and an enamel-and-engraving masterwork up front. It’s travel, translated into sound, motion, and miniature detail. ...

@norqain Norqain doubles down on its adventure-first identity with a trio of new 40mm releases: the Adventure 40mm in green and grey, plus an orange-accented Neverest that’s equal parts tool and statement.

The Adventure models run on the COSC-certified Norqain Calibre N08 with a 41-hour power reserve, and lean into legibility with a new mountain-pattern dial framed by a luminous outer ring. Add a unidirectional bezel with a crisp click system, a mountain-motif rubber strap, and 200m water resistance, and this is a setup that’s equally at home on land or at sea.

Finally, there’s the Adventure Neverest, limited to 350 pieces, with a black-to-grey gradient dial lit up by vivid orange details, plus a compass-style bidirectional bezel for the outdoorsy brief.

In keeping with the Neverest line’s mission, 10% of proceeds go to the Butterfly Help Project in Nepal, supporting families of fallen Sherpas and education for their children. ...

With the 2026 Season of F1 due to take off in Melbourne on Sunday, there’s plenty of talk about the cars, drivers, and last-minute engine management changes that have @mercedesamgf1 and @redbullracing already butting heads. Of course, there’s plenty of activity when it comes to the wrist-born machines too, with some jockeying for position — with some brands shifting places, and some new players entering the track.

@breitling is perhaps the most prominent addition F1 starting grid, taking over from @girardperregaux at @astonmartinf1, with @fernandoalo_oficial and @lance_stroll likely to be wearing the recently announced Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Formula One™ Team.

But @girardperregaux is still in the race, taking over from @bremontwatches as @williamsf1official`s watch sponsor, though no official watch has been unveiled yet, but we`d bet on a Laureato of some sort.

Of course, there’s plenty of @richardmille on deck, as the brand sponsors both @scuderiaferrari and @mclaren, meaning we’re likely to see the billionaire’s watch of choice on the wrists of @lando and @oscarpiastri for McLaren and the legendary @lewishamilton and @charles_leclerc at Ferrari.

@alpinef1team drivers will be able to enjoy a sporty pink number from @moserwatches, and @mercedesamgf1 drivers @georgerussell63 and @kimitonelli will be repping bright blue @iwcwatches pieces. @visacashapprb drivers will be wearing @tudorwatch, and one of the wildcards will be @valtteribottas and @schecoperez for the new @cadillacf1 team, which has @tommyhilfiger on for teamwear, a deal that might cover the wrist.

It wouldn’t be F1 without a healthy dose of @tagheuer, who are the official timekeepers for the whole event, but also retain sponsorship of @redbullracing. @maxverstappen1 is often seen in a classic Monaco, but maybe he’ll mix it up in Melbourne? ...

@micromilspec Micromilspec sits close to that scene but comes at it from a different angle. The Oslo-based brand (founded in 2019) has built its name around made-to-order mechanical watches developed for military units, first responders and specialist clients, with manufacturing and assembly handled through Swiss partners. It`s worth underlining that the “mil” part is tied to genuine end-user requirements rather than aesthetic shorthand.

The Milgraph T5 is a clean expression of that approach. It brings a Grade 5 titanium case and bracelet into the Milgraph line-up and the brand positions it as a step that completes the collection. It also nods back to Micromilspec’s earliest work with the Field Testing Unit (FTU), the prototype created for military evaluation that later opened the door to civilian releases. The T5 is presented as the meeting point between that stripped-back FTU clarity and the Milgraph’s operational brief.

Inside is the La Joux-Perret L121, an automatic movement offering chronograph, GMT and timekeeping functions with a 60-hour power reserve. Water resistance is 200m, with a 42mm diameter and 15mm thickness that keep the watch firmly in the “use anywhere” category.

Production is limited to 35 pieces per year across two variants, offered on either the titanium bracelet or a black/red rubber strap.

@moserwatches H. Moser & Cie. recently unveiled the Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite. With an unusually fresh combination of the Streamliner’s fluid case and the unusual golden tone meteorite dial, it would be easy to mistake Moser’s Perpetual Moon for a recent innovation. But in fact, the complication dates back more than a decade, having first appeared just five years after the launch of the Perpetual 1. “Perpetual” in this case does not refer to a perpetual calendar but to the high-accuracy moonphase, which deviates by just one day in 1,027.3 years. Combine this with one of the most distinctive integrated steel designs of the last decade and this watch represents a steady convergence of ideas that Moser has been refining for nearly two decades.

The Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite brings together multiple facets of Moser’s identity in a single timepiece and is perhaps the clearest expression of how far the brand has come.

Now available in Singapore through Sincere Fine Watches.

@ressence_watches Ressence’s latest limited edition offers a vibrant take on the design-oriented brands signature disc-based time display. The new TYPE 9 IKE, created in collaboration with Japanese lacquer artist Terumasa Ikeda, transforms the brand’s core design into a rotating artwork where urushi lacquer and mother-of-pearl aren’t just decoration, but part of a living, orbital composition.

Ikeda’s craft is rooted in centuries-old techniques, yet his visual language feels unmistakably futuristic. That tension sits at the heart of the TYPE 9 IKE. Ultra-thin raden fragments are shaped to follow the watch’s convex geometry, sealed under layers of black lacquer, and then set into motion by Ressence’s patented ROCS system. The result is a dial that behaves almost like a signal — shifting, pulsing, catching light as it moves.

Framed by a fully black DLC-coated Grade 5 titanium case, the watch distills Ressence’s philosophy of functional minimalism while amplifying its expressive potential. Just eight pieces will be produced.

The TYPE 9 IKE is available from 26 February 2026, priced at CHF 32,000 (excluding taxes). ...

Last night @teddysphotos Ed Sheeran walked onto the stage in Melbourne, Australia as part of his ongoing Loop tour, and on his wrist, not unsurprisingly was an IWC watch. Not just any IWC, by the brand new Portugieser Chronograph Ceratanium. @iwcwatches IWC teamed up with Sheeran to launch the watch, and it`s not the first time.

Last year he had watch fans squinting and zooming as he was spotted with a then-unknown black Ingeniuer on his wrist, a watch that would be formally announced a few weeks later, the Ingenieur Automatic 42 in black ceramic. He`s also been seen sporting a custom white ceramic Big Pilot with a pink dial.

Sheeran’s love of IWC has been going on for years, he bought a distinctive black and red Big Pilot Edition Muhammed Ali for his 22nd birthday, and has been spotted wearing plenty of references since then.
