As the Monaco Grand Prix weekend gets underway, Revolution sits down with four-time Formula 1 World Champion @maxverstappen1 Max Verstappen on life at full throttle.

Direct, precise and unsentimental, Verstappen reflects on a career shaped by speed, focus and an uncompromising drive to win.

But beyond the grid, the story also turns to family, loyalty and fatherhood, and the ways time has taken on new meaning. Along the way, the @tagheuer Monaco emerges as part of that journey too — marking key moments in Verstappen’s racing story, from Monaco victories to championship milestones.

“There are no compromises for that,” Verstappen says of his pursuit of winning.

@bellrosswatches Bell & Ross and @stdupont S.T. Dupont come together for a collaboration shaped as much by lifestyle as by watchmaking.

Limited to 150 pieces, the BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont pairs Bell & Ross’ integrated sports chronograph with the visual language of S.T. Dupont’s cigar universe, expressed through a warm brown sunray dial, rose-gold accents and gradient lacquer details carried across the entire set.

The watch is joined by two companion objects: a Ligne 2 lighter and cigar cutter, all presented inside a Macassar ebony humidor that turns the release into something closer to a collector’s cabinet than a standalone watch launch.

At 42 mm, the BR-05 retains the collection’s familiar balance of presence and wearability, while inside, the automatic BR-CAL.326 delivers a 60-hour power reserve visible through the sapphire caseback.

Even with the richer palette and more indulgent brief, Bell & Ross doesn’t abandon its instrument-watch roots, legibility remains front and centre, right down to the lume.

New additions to the @longines Longines DolceVita give the dressy design a broader palette, while the Mini DolceVita takes a more decorative route.

Longines introduces three new executions built around textured dials and richer colour combinations. Deep green, burgundy and blue straps shift the tone of the rectangular collection without changing the formula that’s made it one of the brand’s most recognisable dress watches.

Alongside that, the Mini DolceVita leans further into jewellery codes. A fully set dial appears with either a satin strap or a new steel bracelet, bringing a more ornamental finish to the smallest watch in the lineup. ...

@girardperregaux introduces four new Laureato Fifty references, extending the collection launched for the Laureato’s 50th anniversary with refined proportions, elevated craftsmanship and exceptional dial execution. Rather than redefining the Laureato, these new models deepen its familiar balance of technical authority, architectural clarity and aesthetic harmony.

The collection is expressed through two complementary dimensions. In 39 mm, Girard-Perregaux presents a deep blue in-house enamel dial over a “Clous de Paris” motif, alongside an 18K rose gold-toned dial with date display. In 36 mm, the Laureato takes on a more compact and highly balanced form, offered either with an 18K rose gold-toned dial or with a silver-toned mirror-finished “Clous de Paris” dial paired with a bezel set with 64 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Beyond the dials, the Laureato Fifty reveals a more discreet level of refinement through its finishing and wearability. The softness of its lines, the fluid integration of the bracelet and the addition of a fine adjustment system all contribute to a watch designed with both precision and everyday ease in mind.

Powering all four references is the in-house automatic Calibre GP4800, operating at 4 Hz with a power reserve of approximately 60 hours. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement features a rose gold balance bridge exclusive to this release, along with the thoughtful finishing and architectural coherence that continue to define Girard-Perregaux’s approach to haute horlogerie. ...

@jaegerlecoultre welcomes @joshu_acoustic as its newest Friend of the House through The Hour Before, the Maison’s interview series exploring the rituals, discipline and moments behind craft.

Known globally as a member of SEVENTEEN, Joshua’s approach to performance has long been shaped by consistency and collaboration, values that Jaeger-LeCoultre sees reflected in its own approach to watchmaking.

For this first chapter together, Joshua steps into the world of the Reverso, engaging with the assembly of its iconic case while reflecting on his journey and creative process. Rather than a conventional ambassador announcement, The Hour Before offers something more personal with a conversation built around craft, precision and the details that shape identity.

@tiffanyandco Tiffany & Co. introduces the Sixteen Stone Mother-of-Pearl Ruby Watch, with Singapore as the first market to receive it.

The watch is built around Jean Schlumberger’s Sixteen Stone cross-stitch motif, originally designed in 1959 as a ring. Inspired by his family’s background as textile manufacturers in Alsace, France, the motif became one of Schlumberger’s most recognisable jewellery signatures, and now makes its way into watchmaking.

At 36mm, the display is divided into two sections: a fixed mother-of-pearl centre and an outer rotating ring in 18k yellow gold set with 12 round brilliant diamonds and 12 rubies arranged in alternation around the chapter ring. The case itself is snow-set with 366 round brilliant diamonds totalling 2.9 carats.

Produced in limited quantities each year, this is one of the more considered high-jewellery timepieces to come out of the house in recent memory and it arrives here first. ...

The new @audemarspiguet Royal Oak Offshore drops and it looks like AP went full summer. Two sizes, two fresh takes on the familiar favorites.

The 37mm versions get the softer treatment. Turquoise titanium, a pink diamond-set bezel version, and pale blue paired with pink gold. All three keep the Méga Tapisserie dial and rubber strap but wear noticeably lighter than what the Offshore is usually associated with. Everyday color, without losing the case shape that makes it recognisable.

The bigger 42mm models swings back to familiar Offshore territory. Titanium again, but the contrast is turned up hard with orange, pink and turquoise details and textile straps to match. Louder, sportier, closer to the energy that built the Offshore its reputation in the first place. ...

@tudorwatch Tudor’s chronograph colour run continues with the just-announced Black Bay Chrono 39 ‘Bumblebee’. Following on from the Pink and Flamingo Blue models, this is unmissable.

Of course, while there’s a lot to like about this, from the Black Bay design language that we’re so familiar with, and the Calibre MT5813, it’s really the vibrant yellow dial with black contrasts that catches the eye.

But don`t sleep on the case, for the first time Tudor`s chronograph is offered in a 39mm case, a move to please plenty of fans.

Speaking of fans of the brand will know that Tudor has never shied away from funkier colourways for its chronographs in the past. The original ‘Homeplate’ models featured graphic dials, but there are also a few standout yellows in the catalogue, such as a vivid Tudor Prince Date, and Tiger models, as well as a more recent Fastrider model, made when Tudor partnered with Ducati.

Of course, much like the honey made by bumblebees, we think this latest dial is pretty sweet. ...

@jacobandco unveils the Bugatti Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal, a new expression of its hypercar-inspired watchmaking in which the defining evolution is the case itself. For the first time, the watch is cut entirely from solid sapphire, with the caseback, caseband and upper bezel each machined from full blocks of the material — a process that requires more than 800 hours of work for every case.

Within that transparent architecture sits one of the watch’s signature elements: a V16 engine block automaton carved from a single block of sapphire, with 16 titanium pistons driven by a single-axis crankshaft. Where earlier versions revealed only parts of the interior, the new sapphire case leaves nothing hidden, giving full view to one of the most elaborate and delicate components ever conceived in modern watchmaking.

Inside is Calibre JCAM55, one of the most architecturally ambitious movements in independent watchmaking and a miniature interpretation of a V16 engine. Activated by the pusher integrated into the crown, all 16 pistons fire in sequence for a 20-second animation. To the left sits a 30-second flying tourbillon — Jacob & Co.’s fastest to date, chosen as a tribute to the Bugatti hypercar’s 276mph top speed — while the hours and minutes are displayed by retrograde indications sweeping a 270-degree arc at the centre, in a direct nod to the car’s RPM counter.

The first series comprises just two unique pieces: one in Jacob & Co.’s signature green, and the other in Jacob Arabo’s favourite baby blue, with matching subdials, exhaust manifolds and rubber strap. Priced at US$1.2 million, the Bugatti Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal stands as the most transparent and perhaps most literal expression yet of the house’s approach to automotive watchmaking.

The centenary of the Oyster this year brought with it something rather unexpected – the return of the Yacht-Master II. While the Oyster case represents @rolex Rolex at its most foundational and universal, the Yacht-Master II has always occupied the opposite extreme. It was one of the most specialised, mechanically exotic and bizarrely compelling watches the company has ever produced.

The new Yacht-Master II is visually and operationally far more amiable. It retains the three defining traits of the model – the ability to pre-program a countdown duration, preserve the programmed duration after reset and most importantly, re-synchronise to the nearest minute while it is already running. But gone is the Ring Command system and with it much of the ceremonial complexity of the original watch. Programming the countdown is now performed directly through the pushers themselves, while the movement automatically transitions between synchronisation, reset and programming states. Yet what makes the new watch interesting is that Rolex does not appear to have simplified the underlying idea but rather internalised it, and characteristically, has done so in a manner that is unusually sophisticated for what it is attempting to achieve.
