More than 25 years after the original Quattro appeared, @chopard L.U.C and Revolution brought its founding design back with the Quattro Revolution Re-edition. Limited to 20 numbered pieces, it revives the original Ref. 16/1863’s 38mm × 9.54mm proportions and distinctive dial arrangement, now combining a Lucent Steel case with a pure, untreated 3N yellow-gold dial.

Introduced in 2000, the Quattro Ref. 16/1863 was powered by the hand-wound L.U.C Calibre 1.98, whose four barrels delivered 216 hours of power reserve. Its power-reserve display sat at 12 o’clock, balanced by the combined small seconds and pointer date at six.

The generations that followed brought new dimensions and dial arrangements, culminating in the 39mm Mark IV. After more than two decades of evolution, the Revolution Re-edition marks the first deliberate return to the Mark I architecture, restoring its original proportions and display.

Engine-turned guilloché, finely defined filet sautant rings and a laser-engraved marker for the final day of power reserve demonstrate how Chopard’s dialmaking has advanced. Now designated L.U.C Calibre 98.01-L, the hand-wound movement continues the original Calibre 1.98’s four-barrel legacy with nine days of autonomy.

@grandseikoofficial’s Spring Drive divers have evolved considerably since the first model surfaced in 2008.

The story began with the SBGA029, a 44.2mm steel diver powered by the 9R65 Spring Drive caliber and water-resistant to 200 metres. In 2020, the SLGA001 pushed the formula further with a titanium case, 600-metre rating and the five-day Caliber 9RA5. The Evolution 9 design language followed with the black-dialled SLGA015 in 2022 and blue SLGA023 a year later, establishing the Ushio identity inspired by the powerful Kuroshio Current.

Now, the new SLGB023 and SLGB025 Ushio 300 models introduce Spring Drive U.F.A. to the collection. Their Caliber 9RB1 is accurate to ±20 seconds per year, while the date has been removed and the power-reserve display returned to the dial.

At 40.8mm × 12.9mm and 122g in high-intensity titanium, these are Grand Seiko’s smallest and lightest divers yet, with water resistance increased to 300 metres. A redesigned clasp adds both dive-suit extension and incremental micro-adjustment, while red indicators reveal when the crown or clasp remains unsecured.

@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.
