Moonlight, desert sand, ultra-thin dress watches and four ways of thinking about the tourbillon.

Last week’s releases brought together @akhor_geneve and @de_bethune for two very different studies in light and landscape. AKHOR’s Nour La Lumière builds around a disc-based time display and a hand-finished desert scene, while De Bethune’s DB25xs Sand Winds pairs a yellow heat-oxidised titanium dial with random guilloché and hand-applied white gold dots.

@arnoldandson continued the celestial theme with the Perpetual Moon 41.5 Steel “Colours of the Moon”, introducing three limited editions with PVD-coloured mother-of-pearl dials and moon-phase skies. @balticwatches, meanwhile, brought the Scalegraph into its permanent collection, upgrading the chronograph with a reworked case, screw-down pushers and 100m water resistance.

@blancpain1735 expanded the Villeret line with two refined additions: a new 38mm Ultraplate and smaller Phases de Lune models. @grandseikoofficial also added to the Evolution 9 family, with Spring Drive U.F.A. models focused on extreme annual accuracy and new Hi-Beat 36000 mechanical pieces powered by Calibre 9SA5.

Closing the round-up is @montresbreguet, marking the 225th anniversary of the tourbillon patent with a quartet of tourbillon watches: the Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255, Classique Tourbillon 7357, Tradition Tourbillon 7047 and Marine Tourbillon Équation Marchante 5887.

@greubel.forsey introduces the Balancier QM, the first timepiece to carry the Qualité Musée name.

For the Atelier, Qualité Musée formalises the hand-finishing standard that has guided its work since 2004. With the Balancier QM, that philosophy is expressed through a 39.60mm white gold case, a richly layered movement architecture, and a level of finishing intended to make each component stand on its own.

The details are, unsurprisingly, intense. The balance bridge alone brings together seven hand-finishing techniques, while the regulating organ features an in-house variable-inertia balance and a fully in-house hairspring made from the raw material up.

The watch also presents a mysterious 72-hour power reserve display, small seconds, flame-blued steel hands and an equally detailed caseback that places the winding system on view. Limited to 33 pieces, the Balancier QM marks a significant new chapter for Greubel Forsey — not by changing its standard, but by finally giving it a name. ...

Introduced in 1956, the @movado Kingmatic arrived during the golden age of dress watches, as automatic movements became increasingly refined and watchmakers competed to house them in slimmer, more elegant cases.

Seventy years later, Movado revisits the collection with the Heritage Kingmatic, the first contemporary revival of the line. Drawing from a distinctive cushion-shaped case first released by the house in 1962, the new watch brings back the collection’s mid-century proportions in a compact 35mm format.

The vintage character continues through a curved sunray dial, convex applied markers and domed sapphire crystal, while the Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1 Caliber 608B can be viewed through the sapphire exhibition caseback.

Offered across four models, the Heritage Kingmatic comes in yellow gold ionic-plated or stainless steel cases, with dial options including ivory, champagne, black and green. Depending on the version, it is paired with either a leather strap or mesh bracelet, completing a revival that feels faithful to Movado’s archive while remaining easy to wear today. ...

On 26 June 1801, Abraham-Louis Breguet registered the patent for the tourbillon, one of watchmaking’s most enduring and visually captivating inventions. 225 years later, @montresbreguet is marking the anniversary with four new tourbillon watches, each taking the complication in a very different direction.

The Classique Tourbillon 7357 looks back to Breguet’s original modern tourbillon wristwatch from 1988, now in an even more compact 35mm case. The Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 brings a more celestial approach, with a flying tourbillon that appears to float within a black aventurine grand feu enamel dial.

The Tradition Tourbillon 7047 goes full mechanical theatre, pairing the tourbillon with a fusee-and-chain transmission across its dial-side architecture. And the Marine Tourbillon Équation Marchante 5887 takes the celebration into grand complication territory, combining a tourbillon, perpetual calendar and running equation of time with a dial depicting the night sky above Paris on the day Breguet’s patent was granted.

Across all four watches, Breguet leans into an anniversary palette of Bleu de France, along with enamel, engraving and some seriously impressive movement architecture.

The Classic Worldtimer Manufacture has been a cornerstone of @frederiqueconstant Frederique Constant’s lineup since it launched in 2012 – a genuine in-house complication at a surprisingly accessible price point.

Fourteen years on, the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture gets its most significant update yet: a new FC-719 movement with 72 hours of power reserve, a redesigned worldtimer module tracking all 24 time zones simultaneously and a slimmer 40mm case. 72 hours, up from the previous 38 is a pretty big deal and the engineering behind the impressive gain is worth taking a moment to appreciate.

@de_bethune has unveiled the DB25xs Sand Winds, a new addition to the DB25 collection inspired by the movement of wind across desert sand.

The striking yellow titanium dial gives the watch its sense of movement. Finished with random guilloché and natural oxidative heat treatment, its surface catches the light with a shifting shimmer, while hand-applied white gold inserts add another layer of depth to the wind-swept scene.

The watch is housed in a polished grade 5 titanium case measuring 40.6mm in diameter and 8.8mm thick, with the DB25’s slender round profile and hollowed-out lugs designed for comfort on the wrist.

Inside is the hand-wound calibre DB2005, visible through the sapphire caseback and finished with Côtes de Bethune. The movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers a six-day power reserve through a self-regulating twin barrel.

It also carries several De Bethune signatures, including a titanium balance wheel with white gold inserts, a balance spring with flat terminal curve, a silicon escape wheel and the manufacture’s triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system. ...

@blancpain1735 has expanded the Villeret collection with six new references, led by four new 38mm Villeret Ultraplate models and two new 29.2mm Phases de Lune references.

At first glance, these are measured additions. Look closer, and they say a great deal about Villeret’s enduring focus on elegance, proportion and classical watchmaking.

Among the new Ultraplates is the first salmon dial ever offered within the Villeret collection. Cased in steel, it pairs its warmer tone with black-treated 18ct gold numerals and an anthracite nubuck strap, while the broader 38mm lineup also includes a gold-toned opaline dial in steel, an 18ct red gold version and a boutique-exclusive steel-and-yellow-gold reference.

The two new Phases de Lune models continue one of Blancpain’s most enduring signatures, with diamond-set bezels, gold-toned opaline dials, diamond hour markers and the maison’s familiar smiling moonphase.

Powering the new models are Blancpain’s automatic calibres 1150 and 913QL, both fitted with silicon hairsprings. The 38mm Ultraplate offers a 100-hour power reserve, while the Phases de Lune delivers 40 hours.
