A New Shape for Brilliance
Jacob & Co. has never been a shy brand. Their watches are mechanical spectacles combining extreme horological complications with high-jewellery opulence. The Billionaire Double Tourbillon Angel Cut is the latest example of a theatrical timepiece by the maison that excels in “The art of the impossible”. The new watch introduces something genuinely new: the patented […]
Tissot Visodate 2026
It doesn’t get any more retro-chic than the new Tissot Visodate. Its classic looks – domed dial, slim case, dauphine hands and applied indexes – are accentuated by the framed date at 3 o’clock. That little window is the Visodate’s true calling card. Tissot started to play with the concept of adding a date function to its […]
Heart On Show
Hamilton has always had a slightly different energy from much of Swiss watchmaking. This is the brand that timed railroads, served soldiers, chased the skies, turned up in Hollywood, and still managed to keep its relevance and sense of humour. There is something wonderfully unstuffy about Hamilton despite all of its heritage. It makes good […]
A Higher Register
The new Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Flying Bridges is a very special grand complication watch, built around the idea of resonance and featuring virtuoso finishing. Excellence in mechanics and aesthetics go hand in hand. The new GP9530 calibre combines a minute repeater, a tourbillon and a self-winding micro-rotor in an openworked movement of 475 components, assembled […]
Lunaz 5.0-Litre Aston Martin DB
The restomod world has recently become crowded with polite reinterpretations, but Lunaz’s 50th commission isn’t one of them. To mark its milestone year, the Silverstone-based engineering house has applied its Formula One-derived expertise to a combustion project, with the Aston Martin DB – already one of Britain’s most resolved silhouettes – taken apart, reconsidered and […]
Frank Buchwald’s ML15 Helios
M.A.D. Gallery is marking its 15 years of creative ingenuity with Frank Buchwald’s ML15 Helios, a machine conceived as a “mechanical sun”, challenging its “horological instrument nature” by feeling oddly alive. Helios balances precision and presence: a three-legged stainless-steel structure punctuated by brass, with a central globe lamp and a dimmable LED “corona” that reads […]
Micromilspec Milgraph T5
Micromilspec’s new Milgraph T5 just landed. If feels like a mission update: a familiar platform, tightened, refined and sent back out with better kit. The story starts with the brand’s first-ever prototype, the Field Testing Unit, a watch originally built to be used, criticised, improved and only later, offered to civilians. The T5 completes that […]
A Year In Orbit
It’s been a year since De Bethune’s watches began gracing the displays of Bucherer boutiques across Europe, a milestone that underscores the growing synergy between one of Switzerland’s most innovative independent manufactures and one of the continent’s most discerning luxury watch retailers. For collectors keen to explore De Bethune’s world in person, Bucherer London currently […]
Hermès Cape Cod (2026 Mini)
In a season where proportions are shrinking and understatement is back in fashion, the new Hermès Cape Cod feels right on the money. Originally drawn by Henri d’Origny in 1991, its “square within a rectangle” case remains intact, but now arrives in a compact 27 x 20 mm format that sharpens the line. The effect […]
