For the first time in its Basic lineup, @gshock_us @gshock_casio_official G-Shock is going fully analog.

With the new 2500 Series, Casio strips away the digital display in favour of a cleaner, more traditional way of reading time, without sacrificing the toughness that has defined G-Shock since 1983.

Developed specifically for the collection, the new analog module features a compact small-seconds layout, a full-auto calendar and a magnetic hand-holding system engineered for shock resistance. There`s even a clever power-saving function that helps extend battery life to five years.

Across resin-strap, metal-bezel and full-metal executions, the 2500 Series explores how simplicity, functionality and refinement can coexist in a G-Shock.

Between meeting the makers and trying on watches at @iamwatch_official, there’s good reason to sit down for an hour, too. Across the public days from 13 to 15 November, six lectures will take a closer look at the people, techniques and ideas that have shaped watchmaking.

@carlostorres351 explores the observatory competitions that helped build watchmaking reputations, along with the régleurs whose work made those precision results possible. @andreasstrehler considers how tradition develops through innovation, while @remycools turns to French precision horology in the 18th and 19th centuries. @rogerwsmithltd gives two talks on George Daniels, looking at his life and working methods through his watches, and tracing the co-axial escapement’s journey towards series production.

All six lectures take place in the Wonder Room at The Singapore EDITION. Swipe through for the speakers and timings, and read the full story on RevolutionWatch.com (link in bio). ...

@leica_watch gives camera enthusiasts quite a few familiar details to spot, from a crown inspired by a shutter release to a strap attachment that takes its cue from a lens mount. The link to watchmaking goes back to 1863, when Ernst Leitz I worked with a watchmaker in Switzerland. Today, that connection takes several forms across the ZM collection.

The hand-wound ZM 1 and ZM 2 come in 41mm steel cases with 60-hour power reserves. Pressing their patented push-crown stops the movement and resets the small seconds hand to zero for time-setting, while the ZM 2 adds a second time zone and day/night indicator. The Monochrom editions bring black finishes inspired by the M11 Monochrom camera, while Urban Green pairs a green-to-black gradient with a vertically brushed dial.

For something sportier, the automatic ZM 11 combines a 41mm case with a layered dial whose appearance changes with the viewing angle. The ZM 12 brings that idea into a smaller 39mm case, with small seconds at six o’clock and four colour combinations. Both offer 60-hour power reserves, 100 metres of water resistance and Leica’s Easy Change system for swapping straps and bracelets.

@kimi.antonelli Kimi Antonelli’s historic @f1 Formula 1 title puts fresh attention on a relationship @iwcwatches IWC has been building for more than a decade.

The Schaffhausen-based watchmaker became Official Engineering Partner of @mercedesamgf1 Mercedes-AMG Petronas in 2013, accompanying the team through @lewishamilton Lewis Hamilton’s championship-winning years before producing its first official team watch in 2022, the titanium Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.

That Formula 1 presence has since grown beyond the paddock. In 2025, IWC partnered with @f1movie F1: The Movie, creating a unique green-dial Ingenieur worn by Sonny Hayes and later translating its distinctive look into a limited-production Ingenieur Automatic 40.

Antonelli adds another chapter to the story. IWC brought the young Italian into its brand family before his Formula 1 debut, meaning the association was already established before he became the sport’s youngest World Champion, making for a compelling brand association, and one that’s just taking off.

Audemars Piguet has just announced three additions to its sophisticated and complex Supersonnerie collection. First introduced in 2016 in the Royal Oak Concept RD#1, this technology, developed in partnership with musicians as well as researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) transformed repeater acoustics, with patented gongs mounted on a soundboard, an innovative construction and a new regulator.

Today sees this Supersonnerie-equipped Calibre 2953 get three new homes: the Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie in titanium, its pink gold sibling and finally, the white gold Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Minute Repeater Supersonnerie. The first two follow the Royal Oak formula, with 42mm cases, albeit one only rated to 20 metres because of the repeater. The green dial on the titanium model has a smoky effect, while the pink gold version boasts a brown Grand Tapisserie dial.

Of the three, the Code 11:59 takes the biggest stylistic swing. The 41mm case is in white gold, but its the softly translucent sapphire dial that allows for a view of the complications below. This dial alone makes it a watch that looks as dramatic as it sounds. ...

Riveted portholes, sparkling aventurine and a philosopher with ruby pupils gave last week’s watch releases plenty of character. @louiserardofficial and @vianney_halter_official returned with the Futur Antérieur, powered by two automatic Sellita SW100 movements: one for hours and minutes, the other for seconds. @glashuetteoriginal let aventurine take centre stage with its Senator duo, pairing green glass with red gold and blue with platinum.

@bellrosswatches headed for the slopes with the BR-05 Chrono Snow Rocket, combining a white dial and red accents in a 250-piece edition. @norqain added turquoise to its 45-gram Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite, powered by the COSC-certified NBK26/1 with a 65-hour reserve and production capped at 300 pieces for 2026.

@vacheronconstantin’s Métiers d’Art Year of the Goat editions brought hand engraving and miniature-painted grand feu enamel together ahead of 2027. @k_chaykin’s Seneca II added synthetic ruby “pupils”, a guilloché beard and a moonphase smile, with the unique titanium watch heading to the Watches for ELA charity auction on 9 November 2026.

Our final look at the @gphg_official GPHG 2026 nominees turns to gemsetting, decorative crafts and mechanical clocks.

Gemset, a new category for 2026, accommodates watches with up to six carats of gemstones and a defined range of indications. Jewellery gives exceptional jewellery work and gemsetting a category of their own, with particular attention to the choice of stones.

Artistic Crafts recognises mastery of techniques such as enamelling, engraving, guilloché, lacquering and marquetry. Mechanical Clock completes the selection with timekeepers made for a setting beyond the wrist.

Each category has six nominees, completing our four-part guide to all 84 timepieces shortlisted for this year’s awards. The winners will be announced in Geneva on 7 November. Before then, swipe through this final selection and tell us which pieces you’d choose. ...

@louiserardofficial has partnered with @vianney_halter_official for a third time, with the limited edition Futur Antérieur, a watch that the watch goes beyond incorporating subtle design elements such as the hands and dials, adopting the distinctive case with raised porthole bezels that made the original 1998 Antiqua so recognisable.

The Futur Antérieur has a three-dimensional, asymmetrical case that comes remarkably close to the Antiqua. As a time-only watch, it has two sub-dials instead of the four found on the original perpetual calendar. Both protrude beautifully from the round case, each framed by a raised bezel shaped like a porthole. Just as importantly, these bezels receive the kind of finishing for which Halter is known, with contrasting brushed surfaces and polished bevels, complemented by polished yellow-gilt rivets.

Rather than developing a mechanism to split the indications, Louis Erard has opted for two small movements, each powering its own sub-dial. This means the hours and minutes are essentially independent of the seconds, although both movements have hacking seconds. Each is powered by a Sellita SW100, whose compact dimensions help keep the overall case relatively slim at 38 mm wide and just 8.85 mm thick.
