The man who helped define modern independent watchmaking.

To mark the centenary of George Daniels’ birth, @iamwatch_official IAMWATCH 2026 brings together some of the most important watches from across the legendary British watchmaker’s career.

At the heart of the exhibition are the Space Traveller I and Space Traveller II, reunited for the first time. Conceived around Daniels’ fascination with space travel, both display mean solar and sidereal time, while the Space Traveller II pushes the idea further with a chronograph capable of timing either.

Seen side by side, they reveal the evolution of a singular idea and the mind of a watchmaker whose influence continues to shape independent horology today.

Across his lifetime, Daniels created just 24 pocket watches and two unique handmade wristwatches, establishing a path that generations of independent watchmakers would go on to follow.

“What is our role as human beings in this world?”

At @iamwatch_official IAMWATCH 2026, @takashipom Takashi Murakami reflects on creativity, artificial intelligence and the increasingly important role of human connection.

As AI continues to reshape the way we communicate and create, Murakami believes our role is to build unique worlds, experiences and connections that remain distinctly human.

For him, IAMWATCH is a reflection of that idea: bringing people together in Singapore through a shared passion for creativity and watchmaking, and preserving the kind of genuine interaction that technology cannot replace.

A different side of Takashi Murakami on creativity, community and staying human in an AI world.

A gathering of watchmaking minds, exceptional timepieces and great conversations.

Revisit the first of two highlights from an intimate afternoon at @louisvuitton’s L’Appartement in Singapore, where Revolution founder and @gphg_official GPHG Jury President @wei_koh_revolution sat down with @arnaultjean, Director of Watches at Louis Vuitton, for a fireside chat.

From remarkable creations on display to meaningful exchanges among collectors and enthusiasts, the occasion celebrated a shared passion for fine watchmaking.

Watch the highlights, with more moments from the afternoon to follow. ...

At @iamwatch_official IAMWATCH 2026, @constant.kw catches up with @garrickwatchco Garrick co-founder and watchmaker Simon Michlmayr for a closer look at the new S8.

At 39mm, the S8 brings Garrick’s distinctive approach to traditional British watchmaking into a smaller case, with a completely openworked view of its new manual-wind calibre.

And with nowhere for the movement to hide, finishing becomes the focus. The wheels and bridges are bevelled by hand, with sharp internal angles and extensive black polishing — work that sees a single watchmaker take each S8 from finishing through to final assembly.

Like every Garrick, the S8 is also highly customisable, from the movement finish and hands to engraving on the otherwise blank caseback.

Priced from £59,500 before VAT, no more than five S8s will be made each year.

At @iamwatch_official IAMWATCH 2026, @constant.kw catches up with @urwerkgeneve co-founder and chief designer @mfmontrose Martin Frei to explore the UR-300 and the ideas behind the brand’s latest mechanical language.

At the heart of the watch is a new interpretation of URWERK’s wandering-hours display. As one hour reaches its end, the indication rapidly reconfigures for the next — a burst of motion Martin likens to a “quantum jump.”

It’s an idea built around timing, speed and perception: destruction and reassembly happening almost instantaneously, yet at precisely the right pace for the eye to register the transformation.

The UR-300 is offered in two titanium executions, limited to 25 pieces each.

At @iamwatch_official IAMWATCH 2026, @constant.kw catches up with @trilobewatches Trilobe founder and creative director Gautier Massonneau for a look at the new Une Folle Journée: Gen Two.

The unmistakable three-dimensional display returns, but beneath it, the watch has been comprehensively reworked. Most significantly, it is now powered by Trilobe’s X-Nihilo calibre — the Maison’s first Manufacture movement, conceived, machined, decorated and assembled in Paris.

The new generation also brings a redesigned case and rubber strap, while retaining the three off-centred rings for hours, minutes and seconds that rotate counterclockwise around a fixed pointer.

As Gautier puts it, the idea was one of coherence: bringing Une Folle Journée back with something now made by Trilobe itself.

At @iamwatch_official IAMWATCH 2026, @constant.kw catches up with @remycools Rémy Cools for a look at his latest creation and the next stage of his watchmaking.

While the new watch retains the unmistakable Rémy Cools family resemblance, the architecture underneath has been comprehensively reworked. Rémy points to a new movement structure and escapement plate, greater rigidity in pursuit of improved chronometric performance, and further refinement to the finishing.

More significantly, he describes this movement as the base calibre for what comes next from the atelier.

Rémy also reveals production of 100 pieces across platinum, rose gold and yellow gold.
