@norqain Norqain unveils a high-energy new chapter for its Wild ONE line with the debut of the Wild ONE Skeleton Chrono, joined by the ultra-light Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite. Together, the new releases push deeper into Norqain`s performance-driven territory, combining bold materials, skeletonised mechanics and a distinctly athletic point of view.

Leading the launch is the 42mm Wild ONE Skeleton Chrono, powered by the chronometer-certified Norqain 8K Manufacture Calibre, an automatic flyback column-wheel chronograph with a 62-hour power reserve. Its standout feature is a newly developed display using transparent floating discs in place of traditional subdials, opening up the view through the skeletonised dial and into the movement beneath. At launch, the model arrives in a standard black version, alongside two limited editions: a 400-piece burgundy Norteq edition and a 75-piece version distinguished by its brushed and polished 18-carat 5N PX Impact red gold top plate.

Also joining the lineup is the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite, limited to 200 pieces and weighing just 45 grams, making it Norqain’s lightest watch to date. Built using Norteq, titanium, aluminium and the brand’s new proprietary X-Lite carbon fibre composite, it is powered by the skeletonised Norqain 4K Manufacture Calibre and designed to take the Wild ONE concept even further in terms of lightness, shock resistance and technical innovation. ...

@jacobandco Jacob & Co. returns to the world of The Godfather with a new musical timepiece that plays not one, but two melodies from the film’s legendary score. Housed in a newly designed rectangular rose gold case with Art Deco inflections, The Godfather II brings together cinematic storytelling, mechanical theatre and high watchmaking in a more compact and wearable form.

At its heart is the new JCAM62 calibre, built around an integrated music box system that allows the wearer to select between “The Godfather’s Waltz” and “The Godfather Love Theme”. Activated via a pusher, each melody plays for 15 to 20 seconds, while a one-minute flying tourbillon and dual power reserve indicators add further depth to the composition.

Rich in references to the film, the watch features a black lacquer dial with a portrait of Don Corleone, puppet-string appliques, engraved rose motifs and details inspired by gun-barrel spirals and bullet holes. Limited to 74 pieces as a tribute to the film’s 1974 release, The Godfather II builds on Jacob & Co.’s Opera Godfather legacy with greater sound intensity, stronger ergonomics and an even more emotionally charged connection to the iconic saga. ...

@universalgeneve Universal Genève returns in grand fashion. The storied watch couturier makes its official comeback not with a single hero watch, but with an expansive relaunch spanning the Polerouter, Compax, Cabriolet and Dioramic, alongside the new Disco Mini. More than a revival of familiar names, it is a statement of breadth, reminding collectors that Universal Genève was never defined by just one icon.

Naturally, the Polerouter remains a cornerstone, revived as a modern evolution of the Gérald Genta-designed classic with its crosshair dial, twisted lyre-shaped lugs and Microtor legacy intact. The Compax, meanwhile, brings back one of the maison’s defining chronograph stories, from the enduring appeal of the “Nina” to a new generation powered by an integrated micro-rotor chronograph caliber. Elsewhere, the Cabriolet returns with its sleek reversible form and strong Art Deco spirit, while the Dioramic and Disco Volante revive some of the house’s most distinctive mid-century designs. The Disco Mini introduces yet another facet, offering a more playful and jewellery-led expression for smaller wrists.

For a brand once celebrated as Le Couturier de la Montre, this relaunch feels appropriately ambitious, drawing on archive design, technical heritage and a clear desire to show the full universe of Universal Genève.

A new chapter in @qianguobiao Qian GuoBiao’s evolving design language, the Skylight marks his first partially skeletonized watches. Offered in two distinct executions, the AB-05 Skylight Original and AB-05S Skylight Sun open up the dial side to reveal more of the movement while preserving the calm balance and visual clarity that define his approach.

At once mechanical and restrained, the Skylight brings several of Qian GuoBiao’s signature elements into sharper focus, from the visible balance wheel on the dial side to the open display of the gear train and the refined stainless steel case with its stepped bezel. Powered by the in-house hand-wound AB-05 calibre, the watch beats at 18,000 vibrations per hour and offers a 40-hour power reserve, with the partially skeletonized layout creating a stronger sense of depth and animation in daily wear.

While both references share the same 39mm steel case, calibre and overall architecture, each carries a distinct character on the wrist: the Skylight Original with its silver industrial dial, and the Skylight Sun with a hand-engraved gold-coloured tremblage dial. Limited to 12 pieces and 18 pieces respectively, the Skylight reflects a more open and expressive direction for Qian GuoBiao, still grounded in proportion, legibility and quiet technical confidence. ...

@credor_official Credor gives the Goldfeather a new artisanal dimension with an Urushi lacquer dial in a rare deep blue gradient. Created using Urushi lacquer, the dial is defined by a shift from black at the outer edge toward blue at the centre, evoking a sense of calm depth and quiet refinement. Blue is rarely seen in traditional Urushi lacquer crafts, making its presence here especially distinctive.

To achieve it, the colour saturation was repeatedly adjusted to harmonise with the surrounding black lacquer, while the final gradation was formed through repeated cycles of lacquering and whetstone polishing, followed by a last stage of finishing guided by the artisan’s own fingers. The curved dial surface adds another level of complexity, requiring precise control to ensure an even finish across its contours. Further enriching the dial are the indexes, Credor signature and Goldfeather lettering, all rendered in raised taka maki-e using platinum powder, giving the surface a soft glow and subtle three-dimensionality.

The watch is housed in a slim 37.4mm Platinum 950 case and powered by the manual-winding Caliber 6890, an ultra-thin movement measuring just 1.98mm in thickness, visible through the sapphire crystal case back. Paired with a crocodile leather strap and limited to 25 pieces, the Credor Goldfeather Urushi Lacquer Dial Limited Edition reflects the brand’s continued emphasis on artisanal refinement. ...

@greubel.forsey Greubel Forsey presents a new expression of the Balancier 3, refining the architectural clarity of the original 2023 movement through a fresh approach to finishing. Limited to 22 timepieces, the watch is housed in the 41.50mm Convexe titanium case, whose ergonomic curvature, variable-geometry bezel and curved sapphire crystal reinforce the continuity between exterior form and movement architecture.

At its core is the structural logic that defines the Balancier 3: three prominent bridges shaping a movement conceived around clarity, depth and legibility. Hours and minutes are displayed on the suspended central bridge, while a rotating small seconds disc and movement-side power reserve preserve the functional layout of the original concept. Inside, Greubel Forsey’s in-house variable-inertia balance wheel is paired with two fast-rotating series-coupled barrels delivering a 72-hour chronometric power reserve.

The key evolution lies in the treatment of the bridges, most notably the large central bridge, which introduces a finishing never before executed at the Atelier. Frosted titanium, applied by hand with a steel brush across its curved surface, is set against polished bevels, polished titanium bridges and layered blue tones to heighten contrast, depth and light. True to the original vision of the Balancier 3, this new edition expands the expressive possibilities of Greubel Forsey’s mechanical architecture. ...

@louisvuitton Louis Vuitton’s new Tambour Taiko Arty Automata is a delicious riot of color, high watchmaking and Monogram flower power. It is the kind of watch that proves it is one thing to take oneself seriously, and quite another to do so while having a serious dose of fun - something Louis Vuitton embraces here with gusto.

Set in a 42mm white gold Tambour Taiko case, the watch brings together seven animated elements on a dial alive with Monogram flowers, feathers, lips, a rocking heart and a message that shifts from “Love” to “Move.” A one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock keeps the spectacle grounded in horology, while the psychedelic sunburst time display adds yet another layer of theatricality.

The dial itself is a feat of craftsmanship, requiring 250 hours of work and 23 shades of grand feu enamel to achieve its richly layered, high-gloss three-dimensional effect. Turn the watch over and the exuberance continues, with the in-house Caliber LFT AU05.01 visible beneath a sapphire caseback, alongside a hand-decorated white gold rotor echoing the same graphic spirit.

Chronographs are among the most difficult complications to execute well. At the highest level, traditional, hand-finished, manually wound, in-house examples have long been the province of a very small number of manufactures, and in practice dominated by just two names. Among independents, they remain exceptionally rare, due to the extensive development work, production complexity as well as the technical challenges inherent to the complication. If anyone were to take it on, it was always likely to be @rexhep.rexhepi Rexhep Rexhepi, and his answer arrives with all the expectation that such a complication, in such hands, inevitably carries.

The Rexhep Rexhepi Chronograph Flyback (RRCHF) measures 38.8mm in diameter and just 9.7mm high. It is offered in two variations, with dials in grand feu enamel – stormy blue for the platinum model and black for the rose gold version – each paired with grey-tinted sapphire counters. It brings together a combination of technical qualities that remains rare – an instantaneous jumping minutes display and a flyback function.

@montblanc Montblanc’s 2026 watch novelties feel less like a scatter of releases and more like a tightening of identity. What comes through most clearly is a brand sharpening the lines between its contemporary sports watches, its explorer-driven 1858 collection and the more classical language of Star Legacy, while using 0 Oxygen as the technical signature that increasingly ties much of it together.

At the center is the new Iced Sea Automatic Date 0 Oxygen, which leads the lineup as the clearest expression of Montblanc’s current direction: a modern dive watch with a distinctive visual language, from its distressed steel case and glacier-pattern dial to the practical logic of its oxygen-free construction. Around it, the concept expands through more atmospheric and material-driven takes on the Iced Sea, while the 1858 Geosphere Mount Elbrouz continues the brand’s mountaineering narrative with a white-and-brown sfumato glacier-pattern dial, a titanium and composite case, and Montblanc’s signature world-time display.

Elsewhere, the 1858 Small Second brings 0 Oxygen into a more compact field-watch format, while the latest Star Legacy pieces preserve the classical side of the brand, culminating in the Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Limited Edition 821 - still one of Montblanc’s most distinctive mechanical propositions.

@bedaaofficial Beda’a introduces the Angles Guichets, a new permanent addition to the Angles collection and its first complication.

As the name suggests, the time is displayed through apertures: an upper arc tracks a 24-hour cycle from 6am to 6pm via the passage of the Sun and Moon, while minutes are indicated below by a rotating disc aligned against a fixed arrow, shown in five-minute increments. No hands, no seconds, instead an object that has bee consciously designed to show a different side of time.

Housed in the collection’s eight-faceted 37mm case, the Angles Guichets preserves its architectural identity while reworking the dial into an almost entirely closed, embossed surface. ...

@k_chaykin Konstantin Chaykin’s ThinKing Mystery arrives at a moment when ultra-thin watchmaking is no longer only about records, but about what comes after them. The first wave is always about the headline number. The more interesting phase is when a watchmaker begins proving that such extreme engineering can move beyond experiment and into something more resolved, more usable and more fully thought through.

At just 1.65mm thick, the watch remains astonishing on paper, but ThinKing Mystery is equally notable for how comprehensively that thinness has been engineered. Its in-house calibre K.23-3.1 is integrated into the caseback, while the construction rethinks the case, strap and winding system as part of a single architecture. Chaykin also uses a dual-balance system with toothed coupling and an ultra-thin barrel, helping raise the power reserve to 38 hours.

Visually, ThinKing Mystery pushes Chaykin’s signature language somewhere new. The familiar “face” remains, but the transparent sapphire “eyes” introduce a more ethereal, almost illusory quality to the display. It is still playful and unmistakably his, but expressed in a way that feels especially apt for a watch built on disappearance, reduction and lightness.

Limited to 12 pieces, ThinKing Mystery suggests that the future of ultra-thin watchmaking may not simply lie in becoming slimmer still, but in making radical thinness feel increasingly complete. ...
