Introducing: The Longines Spirit Pilot Offers An Update Five Years In The Making (Live Pics)
Five years after Longines first introduced the Spirit line via a pilot's watch that grew into a complete collection of three-handers, flyer GMTs, and chronographs, it just introduced a considerable refresh of the line. A refresh that might make it exactly what people have been asking for. The Spirit line (especially the Zulu Time GMT) has always been a popular seller, competitive at its price point, and rugged in its styling. However, one consistent critique from the watch community has been the row of five applied stars above the six o'clock marker, featured on every dial in the standard lineup. In a move that feels remarkably rare from many brands, it appears t...
Introducing: A. Lange Sohne Saxonia Thin In Two New Onyx-Dialed Limited Editions (Live Pics)
A. Lange & Sohne released one of the best watches of the year at Watches & Wonders with the introduction of the 34mm 1815 with a simple hours, minutes, and seconds display. Despite the sizing, it seemed universally loved; however, the Saxonia Thin has a long-standing fandom, and there was a hole in the lineup for a larger dress watch. Today's release of a new pair of Saxonia Thin models, one in 750 Honeygold and the other in 950 Platinum, both with 925 silver dials capped with onyx, effectively fills that gap with two very attractive limited edition watches. The watches measure 40mm by 6.2mm, which means that the 28mm-dia...
If you've bought an MB&F before, or entered (not just won) a raffle for a M.A.D.Editions watch (like the many versions of the M.A.D.1), then the brand has some good news for you. You could win a free watch. And the kicker? You don't have to do a single thing: you may already be entered to win. These are the new LM101 Longhorn and M.A.D.1S 20th Anniversary pieces, which MB&F says are a way to give back to the community that's supported them for the last twenty years. There are ten pieces of each, all designed with a matching aesthetic that the brand will never make again.? Photo courtesy MB&F. If you're a member of ...
Introducing: The Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer 'Night Navigation' Editions (Live Pics)
Hello from Glashtte, Germany! I'm writing from the sixth annual Nomos Forum at Nomos headquarters, where we're previewing the upcoming releases for the year. While those remain under wraps for now, following tradition, a new release marks the Forum's opening. This year brings us the Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer 'Night Navigation' limited editions. Some of you may recall last year's extremely controversial launch at the Forum of the Tangente 2date, which featured a whopping two entire date windows. However, this year, we are fortunate to have no date windows at all for the new releases. Instead, we get this year's very well-rec...
Dispatch: A Visit To The La Joux-Perret Manufacture In La Chaux-de-Fonds
On the eve of Geneva Watch Days, the Manufacture opened its doors for a private visit led by Pascal Bchu, Managing Director of Arnold & Son and Angelus. "La Joux-Perret produces approximately 150,000 movements every year, highlighting the Manufacture's strength and position as a key player in Swiss watchmaking," Pascal tells me." Combined with continued investments in innovation, collaborations, and the expansion of its portfolio, this production capacity reflects the company's growing influence within the industry." With over 20 years of industry experience, Pascal recognizes the significance of LJP's role today, marked by a remarkably high output that underscores its growing importanc...
Introducing: Oris x Cervo Volante 40mm
Oris is back with the second edition of its collaboration with Cervo Volante, a Swiss company that creates high-quality leather accessories from sustainably sourced and tanned deer hides. This release underscores Oris's commitment to sustainability, following initiatives such as its partnership with New York's Billion Oyster Project, and further establishes the brand as one with an environmentally conscious mindset. Normally, we don't start with straps in these introductions, but since that is where the collaboration lives, it feels only right. Cervo Volante takes deer hides, a by-product of population control required by Swiss e...
Introducing: The H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Pierre Gasly Limited Editions
Fresh off the Driver and Mechanics Editions released earlier this year, H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine driver Pierre Gasly are back in the paddock with the Streamliner Tourbillon Pierre Gaslytwo new watches designed in close collaboration with the French driver. The announcement comes just ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, where Gasly is expected to debut the watch at the track this coming weekend.

Introducing: Hamilton Khaki Field 'Call Of Duty' Special Edition
Hamilton has just unveiled its latest special edition for the world (and players) of Call of Duty with a fresh version of the brand's classic Khaki Field. Limited to 5000 pieces, the Black Ops 7 special edition changes very little from the resolute formula of a Hamilton field watch, with the only reference to the game relegated to the caseback. Instead, the connection to the incredibly popular video game series plays out in-game, with a character from the franchise's latest outing wearing the same Hamilton on their digital wrist.? Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, set to release on November 14 of this year, is the latest installment of ...

Georges Kern is emphatic. The Breitling Chief Executive Officer isn't slowing down on plans to expand his company's reach. Even as U.S. tariffs and economic headwinds challenge the industry, Kern is pushing ahead with planned launches of the Universal Geneve and Gallet brands in 2026.? He's already orchestrated rapid growth and value creation at the historic Breitling marque since taking on the top job in 2017. Breitling was sold to private equity partners for less than a billion dollars that year. In late 2022, a change in majority shareholder valued the company at more than $4 billion, sources said at the time.But now with the ...
Hands-On: The Trilobe Trente-Deux, The Brand's Sportiest (And Most Important) Watch Yet
To be completely honest, I have to admit that I never expected to like Trilobe's newest watch as much as I did in person. Maybe the burnout of "sportification" or over-integration of every bracelet has finally gotten to me. Maybe I've finally come to terms with the fact that not every design is better with a bracelet. Whatever the reason, I glazed over the release of the Trilobe Trente-Deux (thirty-two in English) in the deluge of releases from Geneva Watch Days. Then, after seeing the watch in person, I discovered that there is a lot more to this watch than I expected. The design of the Trilobe Trente-Deux is likely familiar to ...
Hands-On: MB&F LM101 EVO Celebrates 20 Years Of Outside-the-Box Thinking
We knew this day was coming. Since 2020's launch of the LM Perpetual EVO brought a new design to one of the brand's pillars that fit more active lifestyles, the brand has rolled out more and more models using the framework. It was only a matter of time before we'd see an LM101 EVO. Sometimes, when expectations run high, you can end up disappointed. Well, fortunately, the LM101 EVO is just as amazing as I hoped it would be. No one should be surprised; the team rarely, if ever, misses. So, given the watch's exceptional quality, the MB&F LM101 EVO raises an interesting question: how wearable do you want your MB&F to be? Max ...
Introducing: Citizen Expands Series 8 With Three Limited Editions
Citizen is ushering in the fall with three new limited-edition additions to its Series 8 collection, a line that's all about mechanical watchmaking in contrast to the brand's well-known light-powered Eco-Drive movements. These new references carry that theme forward, drawing directly from cityscapes and the shifting moods of light across Tokyo. Citizen Series 8 880 Mechanical. All three watches use stainless steel cases and bracelets. The 880 Mechanical (NB6035-55H) has grey and yellow gold-color plating and measures 41.0mm by 13.5mm. One 890 Mechanical (NB6060-58H) is made of full stainless steel, while the other (NB6062-52P)...
Introducing: Seiko Teams Up With Bamford For The Very Vibrant SBSA315 Limited Edition
Seiko and Bamford have just released a punchy Seiko 5 Sports model that is sure to become a hit limited edition. Using the same 42.5mm by 13.4mm (with 46mm lug-to-lug) measurements that we've all come to know and love (themselves inspired by the cult-classic SKX007), the new SBSA315 is a lot more than just a dial refresh and offers a number of loveable elements in one sporty Seiko package.? The watch features a blue translucent dial that allows you to see the day and date discs (in English and Japanese) that rotate under the dial. The hands (in silver and orange) and applied hour markers (all of which are filled with LumiBrite) r...
On a cool but sunny September morning in the Swiss village of Villeret, inside a low-slung 19th-century building, about 20 skilled artisan decorators, finishers, engineers, and watchmakers are at work. Producing fewer than a thousand watches each year, they carry on the legacy of Minerva, a manufacturer that has been here since 1858.?The work, carried out on a small but steady scale, is detailed, slow, and meticulous. In one room, a veteran staffer with more than two decades at the company shapes, trims, and fits the in-house balance springs entirely by hand, using decades-old tools to ensure they oscillate precisely at 2.5 hertz. It takes half a day to produce a single hairspring, destined ...
Introducing: The Cartier Santos De Cartier Adds Titanium And More For 2025
When Cartier first designed the Santos in 1904 for Alberto Santos-Dumont, the challenge was dual: make a watch that was both practical in flight and elegant on the wrist. That balance between function and refinement has guided every subsequent version. As Pierre Rainero, Cartier's Image, Style and Heritage Director, told me: "In this object, in a very obvious manner, you have the two directions practicality and elegance. That's the source, and the source has endured because it has the capacity to evolve."The latest evolutions lean into that idea of contrast. The Santos de Cartier in titanium introduces a finish rarely seen at the maison: a fully bead-blasted matte case. It's 43% lighte...
Introducing: The Aquastar Benthos Professional
Aquastar has announced the Benthos Professional, a contemporary take on the brand's most famous dive watch, the Benthos 500, first introduced in 1970. As part of the re-launched brand's continued efforts to create a range of vintage-inspired dive watches fit for today, the new Benthos Professional offers a slimmer take on the model that also includes the use of a familiar Swiss movement and a stealthy black case treatment.? In its latest evolution of the Benthos, Aqustar's new Benthos Professional largely sticks to the script while attempting to offer something that will wear differently from the past versions of the Benthos. Coming in at 42mm wide with a 904L st...
Introducing: Louis Vuitton Brings Back The Monterey (Live Pics)
The LV Monterey has been quietly asserting itself into the watch world zeitgeist for a few years now. It was spotted on Tyler, the Creator's wrist back in 2023, before resurfacing across TikTok via the usual vintage-watch suspects. Earlier this year, it even walked the Louis Vuitton Women's Fall/Winter 2025 runway, where LV's Artistic Director of Women's Collections Nicolas Ghesquire and stylist Marie-Amlie Sauv accessorized models with original LV I pieces on wrists and draped across necks. Just this week, the LV II appeared on the runway for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2025 collection this time, worn as a belt decoration. Today, the maison has made the modern Monterey official: a 39mm ...

Introducing: Girard-Perregaux Laureato Fifty
For a brand founded in 1791, fifty years may not sound like a long timebut for Girard-Perregaux and its most popular model, the Laureato, this anniversary is worth marking. Initially introduced in 1975, as shown below, the Laureato arrived at the height of the integrated-bracelet sports-watch trend, in quartz no less, nestled between the 1972 Royal Oak and the 1976 Nautilus. Now, to celebrate the half-century mark, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Fifty brings the design full circle. The original Laureato from 1975. The Laureato Fifty case measures 39mm in diameter and 9.8mm thick, featuring its signature tonneau profile and an ...
