Before quartz, chronometry was one of watchmaking’s highest pursuits. From marine chronometers built to keep time with exceptional consistency at sea, to observatory trials that tested a movement’s accuracy under demanding conditions, the measurement of time represented the cutting edge of science, engineering and human endeavour.

With the @montresbreguet Classique Chronométrie Ref. 7727, that pursuit returned in radical form. Beating at 10 hertz and equipped with magnetic pivots, the watch reimagined the mechanical regulating system — and in 2015, anonymously achieved the highest score in the history of the Concours International de Chronométrie.

Now, the new Classique Ref. 7225 carries that achievement into a fitting contemporary sequel, pairing the same 10Hz magnetic-pivot movement with Breguet gold and a dial inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s historic tourbillons.

There is much more behind this remarkable chapter in chronometry. Read the full article on RevolutionWatch.com (link in bio). ...

@favreleuba expands the Deep Raider Revival family with a vivid new orange edition, pairing the retro diver’s familiar 1960s-inspired form with a colour palette that looks further into the brand’s 1970s dive-watch history.

Building on the Deep Raider Revival first reintroduced in 2024, the new reference keeps the essentials intact, including a 39mm stainless steel case, 30 ATM water resistance, curved sapphire crystal, sunray-finished dial and self-winding FLD01 calibre, based on the LJP G100, with a 68-hour power reserve.

The orange accents draw inspiration from the Bathy 160 of the 1970s, while also tapping into orange’s longstanding place in dive-watch design as a high-contrast colour associated with underwater legibility. Completing the neo-vintage proposition, the watch is delivered with both an integrated five-link steel bracelet and a matching orange fabric strap. ...

@formexwatch takes on the integrated-bracelet sports watch with the new Aria Manufacture Chronometer, a model that approaches one of modern watchmaking’s most familiar categories in a noticeably different way.

Rather than leaning into sharp-edged 1970s nostalgia, the Aria takes a softer and more organic route. Its Grade 5 titanium case and bracelet flow into one another with a rounded, smoothed-out quality, while its proportions remain strikingly slim at 40mm wide and just 6.9mm thick. On the bracelet, the watch weighs only 78 grams.

The dial is where the Aria comes alive. Stamped from a single piece of brass, lacquered and finished with a matte surface, it has a concave profile with each applied index placed on a slightly raised platform. Together with the small seconds at 6 o’clock, the effect is more composed and sculptural than overtly sporty.

Inside is the new Formex Manufacture Calibre FX01, the brand’s first exclusive manufacture movement, developed in collaboration with Horage. Built around a micro-rotor architecture, the automatic calibre measures just 2.9mm thick while offering COSC certification, a 72-hour power reserve and a full silicon regulating system.

Priced at CHF 5,900, the Aria marks a step up for Formex, but also brings together a thin Grade 5 titanium case, integrated bracelet, proprietary micro-rotor movement and a distinctive design language. The Founder’s Edition will be limited to 100 individually numbered pieces in 2026, with three dial colours available: Denso Blue, Selva Green and Ardesia Gray.

Presenting the @chopard Chopard L.U.C Quattro Revolution Re-edition. 20 pieces. One origin.

Twenty-five years ago, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and his team did something remarkable: they built a wristwatch with over a week of power reserve in a case just 38mm wide and 9.54mm thin. The Chopard L.U.C Quattro Reference 16/1863 became one of the most important technical watches ever made. And then, quietly, it became a legend.

The Chopard L.U.C Quattro Revolution Re-edition revives the exact proportions of that original 2000 reference in a Lucent Steel case and pairs it with a solid 3N yellow gold dial featuring intricate guilloché achieved using vintage engine-turning machines.

Inside beats the same Caliber 98.01-L. Four barrels. Nine days. Beautifully finished, Geneva Seal certified, and unchanged in all the ways that matter.

Limited to 20 numbered pieces. CHF 32,500 excl. taxes. (Link in bio) ...

For America’s 250th anniversary, @zenithwatches returns to the Chronomaster Revival with a Liberty edition rooted in both symbolism and history.

Beyond its patriotic colour cues, Zenith`s American connection runs deep. During a formative journey across the Atlantic, founder Georges Favre-Jacot was inspired by the efficiency and structure of American industrial organisation, an experience that helped shape his ambition to establish the first fully integrated watch manufacture in Switzerland.

For this commemorative edition, Zenith revisits the A384 from 1969, faithfully bringing back its distinctive 37mm tonneau-shaped case in stainless steel, while also introducing an ultra-limited forged carbon version. Both models feature a white-lacquered dial with blue counters, a flag-inspired chronograph hand, and red accents on the “250” tachymeter marking and the “4” on the date disc.

Powering the Chronomaster Revival Liberty II is the El Primero 400 calibre, a direct descendant of Zenith’s legendary 1969 high-frequency automatic chronograph movement. Operating at 5 Hz, it allows the chronograph to measure elapsed time to the nearest tenth of a second, while offering a power reserve of approximately 50 hours.

The stainless steel Chronomaster Revival Liberty II is limited to 250 pieces and comes with both a Gay Frères-style ladder bracelet and blue Cordura-effect rubber strap, while the forged carbon edition is limited to just 25 pieces and comes on the blue Cordura-effect rubber strap. Both versions are available exclusively in the United States. ...

@richardmille unveils the RM HJ-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon, the second chapter in the brand’s high jewellery saga and a collection that approaches gem-setting as an integral part of the watch’s construction.

Comprising 12 unique timepieces divided into four colour families — pink, violet, blue and green — the RM HJ-02 is conceived as an immersive world of colour, light and form. Each watch is set with 1,399 precious and ornamental stones, with snow, grain and bezel-setting techniques extending across the case, buckle and movement itself. From preparation to finishing and multiple control procedures, nearly 700 hours are devoted to each watch.

The collection draws from Art Deco’s geometric vocabulary, reinterpreted through Richard Mille’s technical and material language. Its tonneau case is broken into sharper transitions, layered planes and asymmetrical interruptions, radically altering the familiar silhouette while giving each piece a more sculptural presence.

At the centre of the RM HJ-02 is the new in-house CRMT2 calibre, a skeletonised automatic tourbillon movement developed alongside the case and dial. Its gem-set white gold baseplate and bridges create a visual continuity between the mechanics and high jewellery, while the gem-set gold rotor turns a technical component into part of the overall composition. Offering around 50 hours of power reserve, the RM HJ-02 brings together colour, mechanical architecture and high jewellery craftsmanship in 12 one-of-a-kind timepieces designed to stand apart. ...

@moserwatches gives the travel chronograph a cleaner, more contemporary expression with the new Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Date. Bringing together a flyback chronograph, dual time display and date, the watch delivers considerable mechanical complexity in a display defined by clarity rather than clutter.

Instead of traditional counters, elapsed seconds and chronograph minutes are shown through central hands, while the second time zone is also integrated centrally for a fluid, intuitive read. Around the dial, a tachymeter scale reinforces the watch’s instrument-like character, while the turquoise fumé dial and Blackor fumé central disc give the piece its unmistakably Moser look.

Powering the watch is the new hand-wound HMC 730 calibre, developed with AGENHOR, which combines the flyback chronograph with dual time and date functions, while offering a minimum 72-hour power reserve. Framed by a 42mm steel case and finished with a grey alligator leather strap, the Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Date distils a technically ambitious travel watch into something clean, composed and highly legible. ...

Following their first collaboration, @dennisonwatch and @collectabilityllc return with the 2026 Edition Oblique Collection, a second limited-edition release that pushes the familiar Dennison form in a more daring direction.

Guided by celebrated Swiss designer Emmanuel Gueit, the collection draws on 1960s asymmetric design, reworking Dennison’s distinctive case and dial architecture through an off-centre geometric opening. The result is vintage-inspired yet unmistakably contemporary, with a stronger sense of shape, tension and movement on the wrist.

The collection is offered with two dial concepts, each with its own character. The Oblique Enigma dial pairs an inner blue sunburst finish with a diamond-cut metallic border and rich sunburst green surround, while the Oblique Vector dial is defined by twelve lines radiating from the centre, finished in warm gilt-coloured sunray with black lines for the gold PVD model or silvered sunray with blue accents for steel. Powered by a Swiss Ronda quartz movement, the collection keeps its focus on shape, colour and the joy of accessible design. ...

@arminstrom brings together two of watchmaking’s most fascinating ideas in the new Minute Repeater Resonance 12:59 First Edition.

Best known for its distinctive resonance system, the independent watchmaker has also explored more traditional high complications in recent years, including the minute repeater. This latest creation marks a major step forward, introducing an entirely new repeater developed in-house and combined with the brand’s signature double-balance resonance architecture.

Visually, the watch puts much of its complexity on full display. At six o’clock sits Armin Strom’s double balance, linked by a flexible spring to induce resonance. At 12 o’clock, four hammers are arranged in plain view, ready to strike four gongs for a Westminster chime — a richer and more complex sequence than a conventional two-gong minute repeater.

The watch also features a dedicated demonstration mode for its most dramatic party trick. Rather than requiring the wearer to manually set the time to 12:59, the Minute Repeater Resonance 12:59 First Edition can automatically play the fullest possible minute repeater sequence: 12 hourly strikes, three quarter-hour chimes and 14 minute strikes. The mode selector at nine o’clock also doubles as the repeater’s winding mechanism.

Housed in a 42mm titanium case with a salmon dial, the Minute Repeater Resonance 12:59 First Edition is powered by the hand-wound ARR25 calibre, offering a 40-hour power reserve, and is limited to 25 pieces.

At the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, @chopard once again occupied its familiar place between cinema, high jewellery and watchmaking.

For the opening ceremony, the Maison brought its Red Carpet Collection to one of cinema’s most closely watched stages. Seen up close, the collection showed Chopard at its most expressive, where gemstones, colour and sculptural forms become part of the festival’s glitz and glamour.

Chopard’s relationship with cinema also extends to the Trophée Chopard, awarded each year to two rising stars since 2001. This year, the honour went to Odessa A’zion and Connor Swindells, continuing the Maison’s annual celebration of emerging talent at Cannes.

Away from the flashbulbs, Chopard’s Gentleman’s Evening turned the spotlight to high watchmaking, opening with a masterclass in chiming watches led by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-President of Chopard, and Karl-Fritz Scheufele, Chief of Staff – Craft, Digital & Experience, and co-hosted by watch journalist Frédéric Brun. In addition to the L.U.C Strike One, the L.U.C Full Strike and L.U.C Grand Strike watches on display included some of Chopard’s most serious expressions of contemporary watchmaking, from the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Straw Marquetry edition to the Zagato Lab One Concept in titanium and L.U.C Heritage Grand Cru with baguette-cut diamonds.

Now in its 28th year as official partner of the Cannes Film Festival, Chopard’s presence on the Croisette extends beyond the red carpet, bringing together cinematic glamour, high jewellery, fine watchmaking and the unmistakable atmosphere of the festival into one world. ...
