@arminstrom’s Tribute³ Au750 carries 18K rose gold from the case to the off-centre dial, subdial and all three movement bridges. The gold surfaces receive three distinct guilloché patterns: soleil across the main dial, grain d’orge on the subdial and clou de Paris on the three-quarter bridge, visible through the sapphire caseback. Roman numerals and new Breguet-style hands in grey PVD-coated stainless steel complete the display.

The hand-wound Calibre AMW21 runs at 3.5Hz and uses a space-saving motor barrel to achieve a 100-hour power reserve, with Armin Strom producing 97% of its components. A mirror-polished finger bridge holds the visible barrel, while hand-bevelled edges, frosted surfaces, circular graining and black-polished screws add further detail to the finishing. Each watch is assembled twice to check its mechanical operation and finishing.

The rose gold case measures 38mm across and 9.38mm thick, with water resistance rated to 5 ATM, and comes on a grey nubuck leather strap with an 18K rose gold pin buckle. ...

@cartier’s Roadster is back on the road, revisiting the design inspired by the mechanical world that was first introduced in 2002. Its curved tonneau case, sculptural crown and date magnifier evoked mid-century sports cars, while early dials with Arabic numerals recalled a speedometer. Following the original collection’s discontinuation in 2012, Cartier has revived the Roadster with time-and-date models and a series of updates to its familiar silhouette.

The new range comprises seven references across medium and large sizes, offered in steel, steel and yellow gold, or full yellow gold. The conical crown and shaped date aperture have been refined, while the case screws have moved from the lugs to a broader polished bezel. Circular striations around the dial’s matte centre preserve a subtle connection to dashboard instruments, with automatic movements powering both sizes: the Calibre 1847 MC offers 42 hours of power in the large model, while the Calibre 1899 MC provides 40 hours in the medium.

The large steel Ref. WSRD0014 adds a bolder option with a blue PVD dial, silvered Roman numerals and rhodium hands filled with blue-emission Super-LumiNova. It comes with a steel bracelet and navy blue rubber strap that echoes the bracelet’s links, both fitted with Cartier’s QuickSwitch system. Water resistance is rated to 100m across the collection.

@angelus_watches’ Chronographe Tachymètre revisits the brand’s chronographs of the 1930s–1950s with three colour combinations inspired by motoring. Measuring 37mm across and 9.25mm thick, it pairs a grained dial with finely snailed counters, applied hour markers and Arabic numerals, housed beneath a box sapphire crystal.

The 18K yellow gold edition combines a golden dial with British racing green details and a sage green calfskin strap, with production limited to 15 pieces. In steel, the coral-pink version pairs steel-grey accents with sepia grey calfskin and is limited to 30 pieces. The second steel model takes a cooler approach, combining a pearl-grey centre with a petrol-blue flange and counters, a steel blue calfskin strap and a run of 50 pieces.

Inside, the hand-wound A5000 offers a 42-hour reserve at 3Hz, with gilded bridges and mainplate lending the movement a vintage appearance. Its chronograph uses a column wheel and horizontal clutch, controlled by a pusher integrated into the crown, while the tachymeter reads average speed over a timed kilometre or mile and the counter at 3 o’clock records up to 30 minutes. ...

@ebel Ebel, founded in 1911, looks set to return in a big way with news that the @movado Movado Group has sold a 95% stake in the brand to a strategic buyer group led by @chanelofficial Chanel and @fpjourneofficial Montres Journe for a reported $66.5M USD.

Ebel, perhaps best known for its 80s and 90s era chronographs, is well placed for a new chapter with the support of Journe and Chanel, and its incoming CEO, industry veteran and former De Bethune CEO @pierre_jacques1 Pierre Jacques.

Stay tuned for more details.

@bremontwatches’ new Supermarine Full Ceramic Deep Blue takes its colour from the meeting of ocean and ice, with production limited to 250 pieces. The 43mm watch combines a monobloc blue ceramic outer case with a titanium inner case and a unidirectional titanium bezel fitted with a matching ceramic insert. A black 3D wave-pattern dial carries trapezoid indexes forming a naval-inspired crosshair, while Super-LumiNova gives the indexes and black gold-plated hands a blue glow, complemented by a matching black date wheel at 3 o’clock.

Rated to 500m water resistance and equipped with a screw-down crown and helium escape valve, the watch weighs 74g without its strap. For its field testing, Bremont ambassador and former Royal Marine Aldo Kane headed to Iceland, taking the Deep Blue through cold-water dives in glacial lakes, glacier climbs and trips into the mountains in extreme weather, having previously tested the Jungle Green and Tactical Black editions in jungle environments.

Power comes from the BB64AH movement, running at 4Hz with a 56-hour reserve, while the blue PVD-treated titanium caseback is engraved with a map of the world’s oceans. Strap options include black rubber, a black-and-blue NATO or blue embossed rubber with a leather lining. ...

@bellrosswatches’ Radar collection returns with a business jet, a fighter and a stealth drone on timekeeping duty. First introduced in 2010, the collection takes its cues from aviation radar screens. The new BR-03 Green Radar Ceramic brings that display to the 41mm BR-03 case for the first time, combining aircraft silhouettes with luminous trails.

Three independently rotating discs display the time. A Falcon business jet indicates the hours, completing one revolution in 12 hours. A Rafale fighter tracks the minutes, circling once every hour, while a Neuron stealth drone indicates the seconds with a full rotation every minute. All three draw on Dassault Aviation’s aircraft designs. The aircraft and their luminous trails move beneath a green-tinted sapphire crystal, with fixed graduations printed on its underside. The layered display gives the dial the depth of a miniature radar screen.

The microblasted black ceramic case measures 10.6mm thick and houses the automatic BR-CAL.327, with a 54-hour power reserve and 100m water resistance. The three aircraft also appear on the engraved caseback. Black rubber and synthetic fabric straps are supplied, with a black PVD-coated steel pin buckle. ...

@urbanjurgensen returned in June 2025 with three models, nine references and almost five years of work behind it. For CEO Alex Rosenfield, that launch was the beginning of a much longer project. Coming from business and fashion, Rosenfield is candid about his role. “My father and I don’t cosplay as watchmakers,” he says. With Kari Voutilainen providing the technical expertise, his task is to give the company a clear identity, acknowledging the individual makers while maintaining continuity with a history stretching back to 1773.

The questions guiding its future are often those a collector would ask: what would we want to wear, and what is missing from the collection? The product plan already stretches a decade ahead, with some watches potentially requiring eight years to complete.

Five months after the relaunch, the UJ-2 won the Men’s Watch Prize at the 2025 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. For Rosenfield, the recognition also marked a personal milestone: being welcomed into a community that has become a large part of why he wants to stay in watchmaking.

In our interview, he discusses the lessons of the first year, Timothée Chalamet’s involvement as a minority shareholder, and the possibility of smaller watches and models below USD 100,000. Read the full conversation with Alex Rosenfield on RevolutionWatch.com (link in bio) ...

Before the Opera Godfather’s music box and the Twin Turbo Furious’s decimal repeater, there was the Palatial. Introduced in 2014, it was @jacobandco’s first minute repeater. Twelve years later, the brand revisits that watch with a new Palatial Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater.

The manually wound JCCM04 calibre pairs a minute repeater with a 60-second flying tourbillon and delivers a 90-hour power reserve. The tourbillon’s redesigned cage has hand-polished angles, while a translucent red mineral dial reveals the mechanism beneath. Rose gold details and hands shaped like a metronome add to the musical theme.

A slide at nine o’clock activates two hammers striking twin gongs that wrap around the movement. Each gong is shaped, hardened, tuned and fitted by hand, with final adjustments made by ear. The new calibre also features a quieter centrifugal governor, reducing mechanical interference as it controls the rhythm of the chimes. The 43mm 18k rose gold case measures 12.3mm thick and comes on a red alligator strap. The watch is limited to 12 pieces — one for each year since the original Palatial’s debut.

@seikowatchofficial Seiko has taken the “panda dial” rather literally.

Born from the brand’s Power Design Project, the new HHK001 and HHK002 started with a simple question: if watch collectors insist on calling black-and-white chronographs “pandas”, why not make one that actually looks like a panda?

The result goes considerably further than a pair of black subdials. They droop to form the eyes, the chronograph pushers become ears, the hands take their shape from bamboo leaves and even the tachymeter has been rechristened the “SASAMETER”, calibrated to a panda’s theoretical 30km/h top speed. Turn the watch over and, naturally, there is a panda tail.

There are two versions: the classic black-and-white HHK001, limited to 3,000 pieces, and the pink HHK002, inspired by the colouring of a newborn panda and limited to 2,000. Both measure 43mm and are powered by Seiko’s quartz calibre 8T61.
