Introducing: The New Tudor Royal 28mm: In Blue And With Diamonds
Tudor has introduced two new variants to its Royal collection, featuring a blue dial adorned with diamonds in both steel and steel/yellow gold configurations. This latest addition to the Tudor Royal comes in collaboration with Tudor Brand Ambassador and renowned Chinese actor Cheng Yi. The 28mm case, rendered in 316L stainless steel with a combination of polished and satin finishes, provides the foundation for the watch. The blue dial draws on a classic appeal, enhanced by diamond-set applied Roman numeral hour markers that complement the Royal motif. Beyond the dial, the surrounding bezel is set with diamonds to add luxurious fl...
Introducing: The Oris New York Harbor Limited Edition II (Live Pics)
The word "Oyster" gets tossed around this site plenty. But usually, it's never referring to the actual thing, with a lowercase "o" you know, the little briny shellfish slung by the dozen, served on ice with a side of mignonette that we all know and (mostly) love. Today, Oris has released the second oyster-inspired collaboration in its partnership with New York's "Billion Oyster Project," with the Oris New York Harbor Limited Edition II. If this is your first time hearing about this organization, I'd highly recommend you read more about it, especially if you're a New Yorker. It's an organization that does its work very close to home, and more often than not, Swi...
Introducing: The Doxa Sub 200 'Dune'
If your mind immediately equates summer with sand, Doxa has a new limited edition release that will be right up your alley. Made in collaboration with their longtime retail partner Art of Time, a family-owned jeweler in Philipsburg, St. Maarten, the new 100-piece limited edition Sub 200 "Dune" features a dial in textured sand-grain finish in warm taupe or bronze, with matching beige Super-LumiNova indices and a black unidirectional luminous sapphire bezel with beige accents. The watch is built on the same platform as the rest of the brand's Sub 200 releases, with a stainless steel case that measures 42mm by 13.8mm and houses an a...
Welcome back to Bring A Loupe, and happy Friday! At times, it can feel like most of the great vintage watch finds are behind us in 2025. By great, I mean those truly fresh to market examples of "grail" level watches scratched original crystals, unpolished cases, and patina, you know the type. Though every once in a while, something will pop up, like this Longines 13ZN "Doppia Lancetta" which sold last week on ShopGoodwill.com. A great find, without a doubt, but collectors are looking everywhere these days. The final price? $88,197.70 plus, a $2.25 handling fee! Recapping last week's edition of this very column, our classy Gbelin with a Cyma movement inside h...
Summer might be winding down, but Albishorn (a brand whose entire ethos is designed around imagining vintage watches that never existed) thinks there's still enough time to head out on the water. Whether to race in a sailing regatta or strap on fins and grab the snorkel to go diving, the new Albishorn Marinagraph covers both bases. This is a two-in-one watch that draws inspiration from vintage skin diver design and features a creative interpretation of the 10-minute countdown function of a regatta timer. The new Albishorn Marinagraph is available in two colors: "Classic Raci...
For a late summer treat, Timex is launching four new models today. Let's start with the newest Q Timex Enigma. We've covered the concept before (so head over to that story for more specs), but as a refresher, it's a budget entry into a "mystery-style" design where the hands seem to float because most of the handset matches the dial's color. Only the ends of the hands are colored, contrasting against the dial, here in black with white hands. It's not as elegant as a super high-end mystery dial using a floating crystal disc, but this is a budget option that's still a lot of fun. You can get the watch, with a 37mm gold-toned recycled stainless steel case and a black dial with a quartz movement,...
At Watches and Wonders in April, I revelled in the barrage of wristwear novelties at the vast halls of the Palexpo, desperately trying to keep up with my three-and-a-half-day, thirty-nine-meeting schedule. But brands were also exhibiting at the lakeside Beau Rivage hotel, a glamorous hub that offers respite. Small independents brought their big guns to the hotel suites, but with an intimate and friendly atmosphere. A meeting with Sohaib Maghnam and Hader Al-Suwaidi from the Qatar-based brand Beda'a was a notable one, and the Eclipse II left a genuine impression. Eclipse II Fast forward to this summer, and the watch is now ente...
Hands-On: Paulin Dives Into Tool Watch Design With The Mara
Glasgow seems to be buzzing with new ideas these days. Just last month, I spent some time with AnOrdain's first foray into handcrafted porcelain dials. Today, its sister brand Paulin has just entered its first dive watch entry with the Mara. It's a curious release for Paulin, known for its colorful, graphic designs, but the brand credits a conversation a few years back with Jason Heaton a familiar face around these parts as the spark to ignite the design challenge. Mara, Scottish Gaelic for 'of the sea,' is an incredibly fitting name for this new design-led diver, available with either a black or blue dial and priced at $1,65...
It's been eight full years since Ming Thien started a microbrand that has evolved into something entirely larger. In this time, the Malaysian-based marque has managed to churn out over 15,000 watches across more than 75 different models. While the brand certainly has an extremely recognizable aesthetic across the board, it's also gone through a few subtle evolutions in its design language. Ming refers to these larger changes of design language in generations, with the second generation's flying blade lugs one of its most known. And now, for ...
Introducing: Time+Tide And Dennison Would Like To Take You Out For A Special 'DateNight'
Imagine my surprise when I got a message yesterday from Andrew McUtchen, founder of Time+Tide, telling me that they were launching a dress watch. Yes, a dress watch from the "Kings of the Outback" (as I'm choosing to nickname the team behind the Furlan Marri Outback Elegy and a trio of Zenith collaborations, among many other things). A dress watch from our friends over at Time+Tide is certainly unexpected. Yet, for their first foray into this territory, this new collaboration with Dennison is a stunner. We've covered Dennison a few times beforefirst with our introductory story about the brand, and recently with their collaborati...
Introducing: M.A.D.Editions x Yinka Ilori M.A.D.1S 'Grow Your Dreams' Limited Edition
Just when you didn't think the M.A.D.1 could get any more colorful than the M.A.D.Editions "Time to Love" (in collaboration with French artist and designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac), Max Bsser and Yinka Ilori have dialed the color up to 11. I'll readily admit I didn't know Ilori. As proven by his honors as a Member of the Order of the British Empire, he's had an illustrious career working with Adidas, Kvadrat, Lego, Meta, Nike, Pepsi, and SCP, as well as the NHS Foundation Trust, using playful color and design and referencing his mixed cultural heritage. If his success with these colors in the wider world is any guide, they'll be a hit with the new M.A.D.1S. ...
Introducing: H. Moser Endeavor Perpetual Calendar 'Smoked Salmon'
Over the past two years, H. Moser has launched a pair of Streamliner releases with brown griff gradient dials with vertical graining. The first was a simple time-only Streamliner; the next, a perpetual calendar. Those previous releases were in stainless steel cases, but this new Endeavor Perpetual Calendar comes in white gold, with 5N red gold finish applique indices. The watch is powered by the HMC 800 manufacture calibre movement, a manually-wound caliber with a whopping 7 days minimum power reserve. It features the brand's interchangeable Moser escapement and original double hairspring, with the four-year cycle of the perpetu...
Introducing: Unimatic x Massena LAB Modello Quattro U4S?T?SPW With Meteorite Dial
Today's release of a new Modello Quattro U4S?T?SPW rounds out a trio of collaborative efforts between collector William Massena's Massena LAB brand and Italian minimalist watch company Unimatic, each with a NASA-themed design. The first two, the Artemis and Artemis II, featured orange Cerakote-covered cases (first in titanium with a GMT, then a time-only in stainless steel) while the new Modello Quattro U4S?T?SPW takes a much more traditional approach to NASA-inspired design, focusing on a white colorway with a single red accent, NASA branding, andfor the first timea meteorite dial. Taking a page out of their own book with a wa...
Hamilton is kicking off September with a bunch of new releases, and four of them are great reminders that the brand just doesn't do "field," they do "sky", too. These four aviation-related watches can be categorized into three easily digestible groups, so I'll take you through them all quickly.? First up is the new look of the 38mm Khaki Pilot Pioneer automatic, with a maroon or green bezel and off-white dial. These are compact watches, measuring 11.4mm thick, with 18mm lug widths, and are powered by automatic Caliber H-10 movements featuring hours, minutes, and seconds, as well as an 80-hour power reserve. The watches feature vintage-inspired "Cathedral" hands t...
Photo Report: Watch Week Aspen Returns For Its Second Year
Hidden away high in the Colorado Rockies, a narrow, two-lane highway winds its way down from Independence Pass. Meandering through the trees from one scenic overlook to another, where great granite cliffs plunge into the deep, frigid punchbowls of the Roaring Fork River, the road gives way to the idyllic town of Aspen, Colorado. It is within this glamorous mountain town that Watch Week Aspen was held for the second year in a row.Here, amongst the cobblestone streets at the foot of the world-renowned Aspen Ski resort, hundreds of watch collectors and enthusiasts were welcomed to gather and gaze at some of the finest timepieces in the world. Aspen as seen...
Roger W. Smith will go down in history as one of the greatest watchmakers in an already extraordinary period of independent watchmaking. Even though it still seems we haven't seen the end of the fever pitch surrounding collectors' passion and demand for watchmaking from people they can meet and know, he'll still be on 21st-century watchmaking's Mount Rushmore. Last week, Smith told me he felt he had been "very quiet, for far too long," which is a fascinating thing to hear from someone with five models launched in the last decade while only producing 15-20 watches a year. Today, hes announcing his sixth model, the Series 6, his first new watch since delivering his first Series 5 "Open Dial" ...
Introducing: H. Moser & Cie. Introduces The New Pioneer Flying Hours
H. Moser & Cie. is known for plenty of complications from chronographs to cylindrical tourbillons to perpetual calendars. Seldom am I reminded of their lesser-used take on wandering hours, which took the form of the brand's Endeavour Flying Hours. With stenciled numbers and an execution in which the minutes actually rotated while the hour discs turned in place, it was certainly Moser's most unique design when it came to telling the time. Today, Moser releases the first update of its "Flying Hours" system since 2019 with the Pioneer Flying Hours. What's notable is that this isn't just the old Flying Hours design slapped into a different case design. Rather, ...
Introducing: The Urwerk UR-150 'Blue Scorpion'
Today, Urwerk releases a new, vibrant take on its previously stealthy UR-150 'Scorpion' with the very self-explanatory UR-150 'Blue Scorpion.' Yes, on the surface, this novelty for Geneva Watch Days is nothing more than a color change and a new decorative pattern engraved on the case. But it's really all that something like the UR-150 needs, given that the watch's new satellite complication system is less than a year old. My colleague Mark went hands-on with last year's inaugural UR-150 Scorpion in black, and I'd recommend you head over to h...
Swiss watch exports to the U.S. spiked again last month as brands and retailers moved to stock up in the key market ahead of tariffs slapped on imported goods from Switzerland. Exports of watches and movements to the U.S. jumped 45% to CHF 555 million by value in July compared to a year ago, the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry said in a statement. The unusual surge in exports to the biggest single market for Swiss watches continues a volatile pattern created by surprise import levies imposed by the Trump administration on its biggest trading partners that has prompted a 24% gain in Swiss watch exports to the U.S. in 2025. While other key watch-making regions and nations, including the...
Bring a Loupe: Buy This, Not That: Vintage Movado
Happy Friday, and welcome back to Bring A Loupe! This week is all about Movado. Why Movado? Just over a year ago, shortly after I joined the Hodinkee Editorial team, we published an In-Depth story on vintage Movado wristwatches. After a decade of collecting the brand, I consider this article a crowning achievement of my editorial "career." For just as long, I've been a reader of Hodinkee (then an employee, then an editor), and seeing my favorite underappreciated vintage brand receive the proper Hodinkee treatment was the ultimate full-circle moment even if I had to pen the article myself. I've featured many a Movado in Bring A Loupe since, but today's edition serves as a proper follow-up. ...
