As a traditionalist, I’m not always attracted to modern Haute Horlogerie watches. However, I always have time for new releases from Armin Strom. The independent brand’s attention to detail and supreme movement prowess get my attention. Lately, there have even been smaller models that could fit my wrist if funds allowed. Today’s new Mirrored Force […] Visit Catching Scarlet Fever With The New Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance Red to read the full article.

Bianchet has built its short existence on a single argument: the tourbillon deserves a design language as deliberate as its mechanics. The Rotondo UltraFino Gold, the collection's first precious-metal execution, restates that argument in warmer terms. Where the titanium original spoke in cool technical grey, this version pushes 18K rose gold directly against black PVD.

Last month, we spoke with Breguet CEO Gregory Kissling to discuss the watchmaker’s new models honoring the 225th anniversary of the tourbillon and learned more about the brand’s past while getting a glimpse at its future.

Reducing the size of dressier watches certainly is a trend, but when it comes to Nomos, the brand has long been a strong advocate of compact cases.

Today, we are looking at two spiritual competitors in the dive-watch-chronograph market — the Doxa Sub 200 T.Graph II and the Ollech & Wajs Astrochron.

First presented in 2021 as the Continuum and later renamed, the C by Romain Gauthier is a bold expression of a sporty-elegant watch by one of the most revered independent watchmakers, a man known for his superlative hand-made movement decoration.

Smith OBE, Watchmaker, Roger W. Smith Ltd. (Isle of Man, British Isles) June 11, 2026 VIEW THE LECTURE HSNY Returns to Australia for Its Traveling Education Program The Horological Society of New York (HSNY), America’s oldest watchmaking guild, founded in 1866, is returning to Australia as part of its Traveling Education program, with courses set for Melbourne and Sydney this fall. The trip marks HSNY's first return to Australia since 2020, when the Society's inaugural Traveling Education visit drew an enthusiastic turnout and laid the groundwork for an ongoing presence in the region. Now in its 160th year, HSNY remains one of the oldest continuously operating horological associations in the world and operates as a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the art and science of horology.  HSNY’s courses in Melbourne will be hosted by Time+Tide, and its Sydney courses will be hosted by HODINKEE. During each four-hour session, eight students will disassemble and reassemble a complete mechanical watch movement (ETA 6497), getting a hands-on look at what makes a watch tick. The course goes beyond a surface-level introduction, teaching proper use of watchmaking tools while covering the terminology and theory behind modern horology. No prior experience is required, and all watchmaking tools and ergonomic benches will be provided for the duration of the class. Melbourne classes will run from Friday, October 30, through Sunday, November 1. Sydney classes will run Saturday, November 21, through Sunday, November 22. Further details on venues, ticketing, and registration can be found on HSNY’s Eventbrite page. Proceeds from ticket sales are reinvested directly into HSNY’s ongoing educational mission.

Today’s post was written by our Spring 2026 intern, Edna Otuomagie. For decades, watches and bag pairings have signaled luxury, style, and elegance. But, how about attaching these two accessories together? Your first thought might be a keychain watch as a bag charm…but I’m thinking about something else entirely… I introduce to you: the chatelaine (image 1) — a waist-hung piece of jewelry that originally operated as a noblewoman’s purse that also carried a watch. During my time as a library intern at the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), I developed a fascination with these interesting pieces due to their beautifully ornate construction and their place within women’s jewelry history. As I learned from reading a copy of How the Watch Was Worn: A Fashion for 500 Years by Genevieve Cummins, wearing watches at the waist with a chain may have started sometime in the 17th century, but they were not always used as purses. By the 18th century, though, watches and their chains were a popular fad. Enter the chatelaine, which itself emerged around 1707, though it did not get its present name until 1828. The chatelaine is a form of jewelry that was historically worn by upper-class women and featured multiple chains carrying watches, keys, and a variety of other tools and trinkets (known as breloques). These historical types of handbags served the same purposes that modern ones do — holding stuff and showing off.  Cummins writes that women of this era were insistent on wearing their incredibly elaborate watches and accessories on view. This may be because they wanted to present themselves as high-class ladies who were the mistresses of their own château — hence the name “chatelaine” which in French means “lady of the castle”. This was especially driven home by the presence of a gold key attached to the piece, which further emphasized a woman’s powerful social position. Even the men partook in this public showing-off. They took classes in Paris to learn how to make the most noise they could with their watch trinkets and chains while walking (even though the watch itself was hidden in a fob pocket).  However, this ostentatious accessorizing wasn’t without risk. Pickpockets were keen on snatching valuable jewelry and watches from unsuspecting passersby. This may have influenced people (particularly in the 1770s and 1780s) to start wearing two watches, with one of them being a fausse montre (a French term meaning “false watch”). Also known as watch-form items, these are objects that were meant to look like watches but actually were not — like the ones featured in image 2 from How the Watch Was Worn.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST...
