Introduced in 1956, the @movado Kingmatic arrived during the golden age of dress watches, as automatic movements became increasingly refined and watchmakers competed to house them in slimmer, more elegant cases.

Seventy years later, Movado revisits the collection with the Heritage Kingmatic, the first contemporary revival of the line. Drawing from a distinctive cushion-shaped case first released by the house in 1962, the new watch brings back the collection’s mid-century proportions in a compact 35mm format.

The vintage character continues through a curved sunray dial, convex applied markers and domed sapphire crystal, while the Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1 Caliber 608B can be viewed through the sapphire exhibition caseback.

Offered across four models, the Heritage Kingmatic comes in yellow gold ionic-plated or stainless steel cases, with dial options including ivory, champagne, black and green. Depending on the version, it is paired with either a leather strap or mesh bracelet, completing a revival that feels faithful to Movado’s archive while remaining easy to wear today. ...

On 26 June 1801, Abraham-Louis Breguet registered the patent for the tourbillon, one of watchmaking’s most enduring and visually captivating inventions. 225 years later, @montresbreguet is marking the anniversary with four new tourbillon watches, each taking the complication in a very different direction.

The Classique Tourbillon 7357 looks back to Breguet’s original modern tourbillon wristwatch from 1988, now in an even more compact 35mm case. The Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 brings a more celestial approach, with a flying tourbillon that appears to float within a black aventurine grand feu enamel dial.

The Tradition Tourbillon 7047 goes full mechanical theatre, pairing the tourbillon with a fusee-and-chain transmission across its dial-side architecture. And the Marine Tourbillon Équation Marchante 5887 takes the celebration into grand complication territory, combining a tourbillon, perpetual calendar and running equation of time with a dial depicting the night sky above Paris on the day Breguet’s patent was granted.

Across all four watches, Breguet leans into an anniversary palette of Bleu de France, along with enamel, engraving and some seriously impressive movement architecture.

The Classic Worldtimer Manufacture has been a cornerstone of @frederiqueconstant Frederique Constant’s lineup since it launched in 2012 – a genuine in-house complication at a surprisingly accessible price point.

Fourteen years on, the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture gets its most significant update yet: a new FC-719 movement with 72 hours of power reserve, a redesigned worldtimer module tracking all 24 time zones simultaneously and a slimmer 40mm case. 72 hours, up from the previous 38 is a pretty big deal and the engineering behind the impressive gain is worth taking a moment to appreciate.

@de_bethune has unveiled the DB25xs Sand Winds, a new addition to the DB25 collection inspired by the movement of wind across desert sand.

The striking yellow titanium dial gives the watch its sense of movement. Finished with random guilloché and natural oxidative heat treatment, its surface catches the light with a shifting shimmer, while hand-applied white gold inserts add another layer of depth to the wind-swept scene.

The watch is housed in a polished grade 5 titanium case measuring 40.6mm in diameter and 8.8mm thick, with the DB25’s slender round profile and hollowed-out lugs designed for comfort on the wrist.

Inside is the hand-wound calibre DB2005, visible through the sapphire caseback and finished with Côtes de Bethune. The movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers a six-day power reserve through a self-regulating twin barrel.

It also carries several De Bethune signatures, including a titanium balance wheel with white gold inserts, a balance spring with flat terminal curve, a silicon escape wheel and the manufacture’s triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system. ...

@blancpain1735 has expanded the Villeret collection with six new references, led by four new 38mm Villeret Ultraplate models and two new 29.2mm Phases de Lune references.

At first glance, these are measured additions. Look closer, and they say a great deal about Villeret’s enduring focus on elegance, proportion and classical watchmaking.

Among the new Ultraplates is the first salmon dial ever offered within the Villeret collection. Cased in steel, it pairs its warmer tone with black-treated 18ct gold numerals and an anthracite nubuck strap, while the broader 38mm lineup also includes a gold-toned opaline dial in steel, an 18ct red gold version and a boutique-exclusive steel-and-yellow-gold reference.

The two new Phases de Lune models continue one of Blancpain’s most enduring signatures, with diamond-set bezels, gold-toned opaline dials, diamond hour markers and the maison’s familiar smiling moonphase.

Powering the new models are Blancpain’s automatic calibres 1150 and 913QL, both fitted with silicon hairsprings. The 38mm Ultraplate offers a 100-hour power reserve, while the Phases de Lune delivers 40 hours.

House of Brands is heading to Watches and Wonders Geneva 2027.

For the first time, @breitling, @galletwatch and @universalgeneve will present side-by-side at the industry’s leading global watch fair, taking place in Geneva from 5 to 11 April 2027.

Unveiled by CEO Georges Kern at Dubai Watch Week in 2025, House of Brands brings the three Swiss watch names together under one strategic vision, while allowing each to occupy a distinct place in the market.

Universal Genève, recently revived and beloved by collectors for creations such as the Polerouter and Compax chronograph, will sit at the high end of the group. Breitling anchors House of Brands as its established force, with more than 140 years of heritage and one of the industry’s most recognisable portfolios. Gallet, the latest addition, brings an adventure-led perspective to the accessible luxury segment, with its full collection set to be unveiled in September 2026.

At Watches and Wonders Geneva 2027, the three brands will present their novelties together for the first time, offering attendees a clearer view of their individual identities and the wider strategy behind House of Brands. ...

Among independents, the tourbillon is almost a rite of passage. @vincent_deprez’s Scientific Tourbillon stands out for its quality of execution and for the fact that the vast majority of components are made by Deprez himself using traditional manual methods.

Based in Plan-les-Ouates, Deprez trained at the Geneva Watchmaking School before beginning his career at Vacheron Constantin at just 15. He later joined Patek Philippe’s restoration department, where years spent working on antique watches gave him a close view of the technical solutions and attention to detail of past masters.

That background is evident in the Scientific Tourbillon. More than a showcase of finishing skill, the watch is made largely by Deprez himself in his workshop using only manual tools or manually operated lathes at the bench.

The watch itself builds on Deprez’s 2022 Classical Tourbillon Souscription with several refinements. Its 39mm case pairs 316L steel with a Grade 5 titanium caseback, while the dial is midnight-blue grand feu enamel. The movement showcases some of finest keyless works in the business as well as a variety of finishing techniques including gratté, frosting, black-polishing and an abundance of anglage.

Limited to 10 pieces and already sold out, the Scientific Tourbillon stands as a complete expression of one watchmaker’s abilities.

@arnoldandson turns its Perpetual Moon towards a new celestial palette.

The new Perpetual Moon 41.5 Steel “Colours of the Moon” arrives in three limited editions of 18 pieces each, with each version inspired by a different lunar phenomenon: the Blue Moon, Golden Moon and Red Moon. Each pairs a stainless steel case with a PVD-treated mother-of-pearl dial and moon-phase sky, marking a world first in watchmaking for the use of the material treatment across both elements.

The result is a richly textured display that shifts with the light, giving the dial and sky an almost Damascus-like sense of depth. At the centre of the composition is a luminescent mother-of-pearl moon, flanked by Cassiopeia and Ursa Major, hand-painted in Super-LumiNova as a tribute to the constellations once used by mariners to locate the Pole Star.

Inside is Arnold & Son’s in-house manual-winding A&S1512 calibre, offering a 90-hour power reserve and an astronomical moon-phase display, with a secondary moon-phase indication visible through the sapphire case back for precise adjustment.

Housed in a 41.5mm stainless steel case and paired with matching alligator leather straps, the Perpetual Moon 41.5 Steel “Colours of the Moon” brings together astronomical precision, material experimentation and one of Arnold & Son’s most poetic complications. ...
