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.

Since 2005, @artisansdegeneve Artisans de Genève — a talented team of watchmakers and artisans have been personalising timepieces, in ways that above and beyond to create watches that are, both literally and figuratively, one-of-a-kind. One example of a watch that tells the story of its owner is the personalisation project commissioned by tennis legend @agassi Andre Agassi, who briefed Artisans de Genève on a watch that he could play with, with weight and comfort being of primary importance, with a personality and palate to match the legend’s iconic on-court looks coming not far behind.

After 1000 hours of work, Artisans de Genève’s creation for Agassi is well worth exploring.

Making a surprise debut on the wrist of frequent IWC-enjoyer Mr Ed Sheeran @edsheeran on stage in Melbourne as part of the Loop tour, is the latest release from Schaffhausen-based brand, the @iwcwatches IWC Portugieser Chronograph Ceratanium.

Take a closer look at this new Ceratanium addition to the collection, as @wei_koh_revolution sits down with IWC Creative Director Christian Knoop to find out all about this new limited edition, from the style and origins of the Portugieser, through to the use of IWC’s distinctive and proprietary blacked out case material, Ceratanium.

Of course, while this stealthy take on IWC’s most timeless chronograph might be a surprise to some, we hope it holds some hints as to what we might see in a few months at Watches & Wonders.

@ulyssenardinofficial Ulysse Nardin’s Freak has never followed the rules — it rewrote them. When it launched in 2001, it became the first true superwatch: no hands, no dial, no crown, just a movement so radical it doubled as the display. Twenty-five years and 35 patents later, the Freak remains one of modern horology’s most influential disruptors.

The latest version, the Freak X Gumball 3000 – Edition 2 continues this lineage, filtered through the kinetic visuals of the Gumball 3000 @gumball3000 rally. Its signature element — an hour disc in ultra-light Carbonium infused with vivid orange resin — mirrors the rally’s energy and ensures no two pieces look the same.

Limited to 150 pieces, this is Ulysse Nardin’s high-performance tribute to a lifestyle defined by motion — from Miami to Mexico City, and now, the wrist.

@krayon.ch is one of a new generation of Swiss independents that melds top-tier watchmaking with a contemporary design sensibility, and the latest take on the Anyday is no exception.

@remi.maillat Rémi Maillat and his team of watchmakers debuted the Anyday in 2025, and its signature trick was the peripheral month display, which differentiates between week days and weekends through a clever system of cams. Add to this functional innovation Krayon’s modern aesthetic and the Anyday is a high-end indie made with actual wear in mind.

The latest version, which swaps the white gold out for rose ups the ante somewhat, offering a less stealthy take on the watch. But, even taking that gold gleam out of the equation, the Anyday is a refreshing take on the calendar complication. ...

Swiss watchmaking is usually narrated through calibres, finishing, icons, and provenance. For nine years Morgan Stanley`s Annual Swiss Watcher report, (made in partnership with LuxeConsult) has reported on the ‘Top 50’ Swiss watch brands, and consistently told the business story behind the romance.

In 2025, export value softened again and unit volumes slid further. Yet the biggest brands gained market share, the ultra-high end delivered almost all incremental growth, and profits concentrated further.

The report`s core argument is simple: fewer watches are shipped, more value is captured at the top, and the brands engineered for scarcity economics are pulling away. In that context, polarisation is no longer a trend. It is the structure of the market.

This report describes an industry that has crossed into a new configuration. Lower volume, higher prices and greater centralisation. For everyone else, the strategic question becomes sharper each year: in a market that is more top-heavy and more ultra-premium, what is your defensible edge? ...

Richard Mille offers its take on the beautiful game with this pair of tourbillons, built around a brand new movement featuring two new complications — a match phase indicator and a goal counter. The result of five years of R&D, the titanium calibre features a match time indicator at the 9 o’clock position, indicating the current phase of the match, and is advanced from first to second half, as well as first and second overtime, with each reset of the flyback chronograph. The twin goal counters allow the wearer to track local and visiting team goals manually via the pushers at two and four.

In addition to a new calibre, the RM 41-01 Tourbillon Soccer introduces us to Basalt TPT, a composite developed with Richard Mille’s long-term partners at NTPT, derived from the volcanic rock of the same name. The three-part case also includes a Carbon TPT caseband, and alongside the red Basalt TPT case is presented a blue version in Dark Blue Quartz TPT. Production is limited to 30 pieces in each case.

Timed to the total lunar eclipse on March 3, 2026, @citizenwatchus CITIZEN expands its ATTESA collection with two limited-edition “Shades of Red” references inspired by the red moon seen during totality.

The CITIZEN ATTESA CC4077-71Z houses the Cal.F950 Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS movement, combining global timekeeping with chronograph functionality inside a Super Titanium™ case treated with Duratect DLC. Limited to 1,800 pieces.

The CITIZEN ATTESA BY1005-73Z takes a different approach, powered by the Cal.H874 Eco-Drive Radio-Controlled movement with Luna Program, translating the lunar cycle into a fully automatic analog moon phase display. Limited to 2,200 pieces.

Two technical interpretations of the same celestial event — one focused on satellite precision, the other on the mechanics of the moon itself.

For a long time, “Made in China” in watchmaking was associated with manufacturing scale and production capacity. What was discussed far less was authorship.

Yet mechanical thought has deep roots here. From early escapement systems and astronomical clock towers to mid-20th century movement development, China’s relationship with timekeeping has never been purely industrial.

Today, a growing number of independent makers are working from a different place, not scale, but construction. From designing movements and reworking vintage calibres to developing escapements, hand-finishing bridges and experimenting with architecture and form, the work varies widely in style and philosophy. What’s clear is that Chinese independent watchmaking has reached a level of seriousness that demands attention within the global conversation.

And it’s only getting more interesting. ...
