@singerreimagined turns to one of the most storied manual-winding chronograph movements for its latest release. The Heritage V72 brings the Valjoux 72 into the brand’s restoration-led Heritage Collection, drawing on new-old-stock components preserved and unused for almost half a century.

Operating at 18,000vph, the calibre features small seconds, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter in its classic three-register layout. Each movement is carefully assessed, assembled and refinished with frosted bridges, hand-polished chamfers, rhodium plating and selected blue ALD-treated components, before being engraved “Restored by Singer”.

Housed in a 38.8mm case with a glass-box sapphire caseback, the Heritage V72 is available in stainless steel or 18ct yellow gold. Either case can be paired with a stone-grey dial with oyster-coloured counters or a black dial with champagne counters.

@seikowatchofficial has introduced the HDB010K1 Motocompo Limited Edition, a collaboration with Honda that leans fully into one of the most charmingly oddball designs of the early 1980s.

The original Honda Motocompo, launched in 1981, was a 49cc foldable scooter designed to fit inside the trunk of the Honda City. It was compact, practical, strange in exactly the right way, and very much a product of its time.

Seiko’s version picks up the idea with a 36.4mm Field series case, a bright yellow dial inspired by the Motocompo’s body colour, a black central stripe with the Honda logo, and a special “Automatic” font taken from the scooter’s original graphics.

The strap keeps the joke going, with “Carrying Point” and “Insertion Point” details referencing the way the Motocompo was secured when stored in a car. The caseback features the scooter’s silhouette and an individual serial number.

Limited to 8,000 pieces, the watch is powered by Seiko’s automatic 4R36 calibre, with day-date display, approximately 41 hours of power reserve and 10 bar water resistance. It even comes in a special box designed to look like the corrugated carton used to ship the original Motocompo.

This week’s watch releases move from a Singapore-exclusive Spring Drive and Japanese motorsport to Malaysian craft and a gem-set chronograph.

@grandseikoofficial captures sunlight breaking across a “Sea of Clouds” with the golden-dialed SBGA525, while @tagheuer reunites with Team Ikuzawa and Bamford Watch Department for a motorsport-inspired Carrera Glassbox. @bellrosswatches also gives the BR-05 GMT a new sage-green treatment.

Elsewhere, @louismoinet frames the dial-side mechanism of the Memoris with diamonds and blue sapphires; @mingwatches partners with Royal Selangor for a hammered pewter dial and the first complete production run to undergo final assembly in Kuala Lumpur; and @balticwatches introduces a date display to the Aquascaphe for the first time.

Has the modern dress watch become the ultimate summer companion?

While sports watches still dominate holiday wrists, @blancpain1735 Blancpain’s new 38mm Villeret Ultraplate makes a compelling case for something quieter. Slim, refined and quietly versatile, it brings the classical Villeret codes into a size that feels especially suited to modern summer living.

We explore why understated elegance might just be the perfect fit for the season.

In June 2026, @fpjourneofficial’s Chronomètre à Résonance “Souscription, No. 007” sold for USD 13,922,000. Beyond its rarity and extraordinary provenance, the result brought renewed attention to a watch that may well be the bravest in horological history.

The story of resonance stretches from Christiaan Huygens’ observations in 1665 to the clocks of Antide Janvier and pocket watches of Abraham-Louis Breguet. François-Paul Journe picked up that thread in the early 1980s, first attempting a resonance pocket watch before finally bringing the phenomenon to the wrist with the Chronomètre à Résonance in 2000.

Its two balances have no direct mechanical connection. Instead, they communicate through tiny vibrations transmitted across the shared movement plate, gradually settling into a common frequency. Journe staked his reputation on proving that this elusive phenomenon could work inside a watch worn on the wrist—a wager George Daniels acknowledged simply: “You have a lot of courage.”

Some watches make their case before you even reach the specifications. The new @tagheuer Carrera Chronograph x Team Ikuzawa is one of them.

Created with Team Ikuzawa and Bamford Watch Department, the 39mm Glassbox Carrera looks to the vintage Heuer Roadmaster stopwatch that became part of the Japanese team’s visual identity in the 1970s. Its white Clous de Paris dial, printed indexes and flashes of red capture the clarity of a racing instrument, while the omission of a running seconds display creates space for the Team Ikuzawa signature at 6 o’clock.

Inside, the Calibre TH20-10 combines a column wheel, vertical clutch, bidirectional winding and an 80-hour power reserve. Limited to 150 pieces, each watch comes with two additional straps and a toolbox-inspired presentation case.

@mingwatches MING has never been afraid of collaboration, but the MING 37.06 @royalselangor Royal Selangor feels especially close to home.

Created with Royal Selangor, the historic Kuala Lumpur pewterware maker founded in 1885, the watch brings a hammered pewter dial into MING’s 37-series grade-2 titanium case. Limited to 88 pieces, it is a collaboration between two Malaysian names, one rooted in contemporary independent watchmaking, the other in more than a century of pewter craft.

The dial is the clear focal point. Pewter is rarely used in watchmaking, but its warm tone and hammered finish give the watch depth, texture and a surface that will develop a soft patina over time.

The familiar 37-series case measures 38mm in diameter, just over 11mm thick, and weighs 35.9 grams at the head, with 100 metres of water resistance. Inside is the Sellita for MING SW300.M1, an automatic movement with roughly 50 hours of power reserve.

The local connection continues beyond the dial. The full production run is assembled in Kuala Lumpur, marking the first time MING has handled final assembly locally for a collaboration. Each watch is also presented in a hammered pewter box designed by MING and made by Royal Selangor.

The MING 37.06 Royal Selangor is priced at CHF 5,000 excluding taxes, available through Royal Selangor boutiques from 30 July 2026, with limited stock following on ming.watch from 6 August 2026.

@vacheronconstantin may be the world’s oldest continuously operating watchmaker, but even its 270-year history feels young beside the civilizations revisited in its latest Métiers d’Art collection.

Created with the Louvre, the second Tribute to Great Civilisations brings Pharaonic Egypt, the Assyrian Empire, Ancient Greece and Imperial Rome to the wrist through a limited-edition quartet: the Buste d’Akhénaton, Lamassu de Sargon II, Athéna de Velletri and Tibre de L’Iseum Campense. Each model is limited to 15 pieces.

This time, the central figures are carved from stone rather than sculpted in gold, surrounded by glyptic work, marquetry, enamel, micro-mosaic and gilding. Developed over three years, each dial required up to 220 hours of work. Four ancient masterpieces, reinterpreted at the scale of a watch dial without losing their monumentality.
