Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic 36mm Soft Violet SHH Edition

 

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic 36mm Soft Violet SHH Edition

 

Parmigiani Fleurier is having an amazing year with a steady stream of standout releases and no signs of slowing down. This time, they partnered with Sincere  Fine Watches to create a new edition of the Tonda PF Automatic 36mm in Soft Violet, limited to 50 pieces worldwide. The new Soft Violet dial is decorated with the collection’s signature Grain d’Orge guilloche, moving between violet, blue and lavender hues as it plays with the light. The watch itself is housed in a 36mm stainless steel case with a knurled platinum bezel, applied rhodium-plated gold indices and skeletonized delta-shaped hands. And inside, the automatic manufacture caliber PF770 offers 60-hours of autonomy and is visible through the sapphire caseback with its rose-gold oscillating rotor.

Breitling properly marked its role as the official watch partner of Aston Martin with a trio of limited edition Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 inspired by the DB5. This connection actually goes all the way back to 1965, when Sean Connery’s iconic James Bond wore a Breitling Top Time alongside the equally iconic grand tourer in the “Thunderball” film. The steel edition, limited to 1,022 pieces, is fitted with a silver dial along with a wooden inner bezel; the steel-and-platinum version, limited to 315 pieces, combines a black lacquered dial and wood inlay;  while the 250-piece flagship 18kt red-gold case sports an onyx dial. All three carry cushion-shaped counters influenced by the shapes of the DB5’s instruments and are powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, offering 70-hours of power reserve.

H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Cosmic Rain

 

H. Moser & Cie. gave one of their most complicated watches a brand new celestial treatment with the Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Cosmic Rain, limited only to 20 pieces. Upon first glance, you can’t miss the minute repeater’s hammers and gongs arranged dial-side, while the hollowed 40mm titanium case does its job as a resonance chamber for the chime. Alongside, we’re also looking at a one-minute flying tourbillon fitted with a cylindrical hairspring, fully exposed through this open worked display. The most eye-catching component though is the domed aventurine subdial at the two o’clock adding the “Cosmic Rain” theme with mother-of-pearl inlays reminiscent of shooting stars. The watch uses the hand-wound HMC 909 movement, which contains more than 400 components and around 90 hours of power reserve.

The Horology Club × Toledano & Chan The Breutalist

 

The long-awaited collaboration piece from The Horology Club and Toledano & Chan, The Breutalist, continues to emphasize the architectural origins of the brand inspired by Marcel Breuer’s former Whitney Museum in New York. For the first time, Toledano & Chan’s sculptural case and bracelet are produced entirely in bead-blasted Grade 5 titanium, for a texture that closely mimics the building’s raw concrete exterior. The unmarked mirror-polished dial provides a great deal of contrast, especially when paired with the angular windows. Limited to 15 pieces, the watch measures 32mm wide and is powered by the automatic Sellita SW100.

 

Hamilton Khaki Field Power Reserve Mechanical 40mm

 

Hamilton continues to expand its Khaki Field Power Reserve Mechanical with the introduction of four configurations built around brand-new green and blue dials. Each color is available either on a NATO strap or a stainless-steel bracelet, retaining its classic 40mm case and straightforward military-style layout – you know what you’re getting here. The Khaki Field Power Reserve Mechanical line features the fairly new power-reserve indicator placed directly on the dial, reading from “F” to “E” like a fuel gauge. The watch is driven by the manually-wound H-23, developed by ETA exclusively for Hamilton, and is capable of running for up to 80 hours.

Citizen gives the fan-favorite Tsuyosa line a vintage-leaning limited edition with the new Shore model (Ref. NJ0238-57E). The watch features textured black dials that fade through a deep gradient set by warm gold colored indices and markings on the diver bezel. Its 40mm stainless steel-case, paired with an integrated three-link bracelet, sapphire crystal, 10-bar water resistance and transparent caseback, provides the perfect prompts for a solid everyday watch. The 12,000-piece limited edition is powered by the automatic caliber 8210 offering 42 hours of power reserve.

 

Citizen L RAINELL Limited Edition EX1540-58L

 

Citizen L RAINELL Limited Edition EX1540-58L

 

The second Citizen launch this week takes a smaller and jewelry-led approach for the ladies. The Rainell EX1540-58L is a part of a wider launch within the new Rainell collection’s signature raindrop-style case, measuring 19.7mm across and daintily framed with a ring of 43 diamonds, and a blue gradient dial – reminiscent of the feeling after a rainfall. The watch is powered by Citizen’s reliable Eco-Drive Caliber B023, offering a full year of autonomy on a full charge. Limited to 3,500 pieces, the Rainell also features a spherical sapphire crystal, a blue ceramic accent on the crown and 5-bar water resistance.

Christopher Ward takes us home with the most colorful launch on its the Twelve (Ti) Pic’n’Mix. The collection offers six candy-inspired, sugar-crystal-textured gradient dials in its compact 36mm titanium case – with the integrated-bracelet design proving a natural fit for this playful summer treatment. Offered in green, brown, orange, red, blue and purple, each color is limited to 50 pieces, supplied with both a titanium bracelet and a matching rubber strap, and is powered by the COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 automatic movement.
