Breitling has just added two new chronographs to its regular collection — the Navitimer B09 Chronograph 41 and the Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute. But this isn’t just any old release. Both new models draw inspiration from the 1960s and feature the era-appropriate Twin Jet logo. They also share a 41mm stainless
Today, Tissot and NBA star Damian Lillard introduce a new PRX Skeleton. The watch emerges from close collaboration with the player known as “Dame Time” and draws from the journey that shaped him. Decisive moments come through preparation long before they arrive. That mindset now takes form in a dedicated PRX. Therefore

There are watchmakers, and then there is the “Watchmaker of Watchmakers,” a heavy title that Jaeger-LeCoultre earned the hard way by supplying high-end calibers to the holy trinity of horology for decades. Since 1833, the Vallée de Joux watchmaker has produced over 1,400 calibers. While that alone is a huge flex, JLC h
A few months ago, Gallet re-entered the watch world as a Breitling sibling. Exactly 200 years after its founding in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the brand went all out with four new collections — Flying Officer, Multichron Pilot, Multichron Sport, and Gallet Classics. All four lines draw on different parts of Gallet’s history, f
As we’ve come to expect, Lebois & Co revives mid-century designs with care. The brand now offers its Heritage Small Seconds models in three new interpretations. Each draws from a different moment in the company’s past. Moreover, the Numeral, Baton, and Script share the same refined case and COSC-certified movement. Thi
Renaud Tixier continues its Monday collection with the new Monday Skeleton, a fully openworked version of the watch that launched the young maison in 2024. Available in green and blue, the two editions each have a 40.8mm gray gold case and are limited to 15 pieces. The new model brings together Dominique Renaud’s exper
A few months ago, we asked our team members to write about the best watch they’ve ever owned. Thomas wrote a love story about his Rolex Explorer II 16570, Jorg was (and still is) talking about the Tudor Black Bay Pro, and Lex wrote that his JLC Geophysic Universal Time beats all his other watches.
