The Latest News About Watches

We all know that watchmakers love complications. Throughout history, the quest for ever greater chronometric precision has produced a wide range of mechanisms, like the tourbillon, which has been mastered by many and improved.

Reservoir was launched in 2017 and quickly became known as a watchmaking brand inspired by automotive gauges, aeronautical counters and industrial manometers. Reservoir built its identity around a simple yet visually interesting concept: displaying time through jumping hours and retrograde minutes, often with a power reserve indication. Until now, that instrument’s aesthetic influence has been […]

You just can’t help yourself. You just must touch it, play with it, caress it. The spacy half-hunter Czapek Time Jumper sure is a tactile creation that begs to be handled and fondled. I didn’t really get the chance when it was introduced last year during Czapek’s big birthday bash in Geneva, but a little […] Visit Hands-On With The Spacy Half-Hunter Czapek Time Jumper In Steel to read the full article.

The post A Closer Look: Patek Philippe Celestial Sunrise and Sunset Ref. 6105G appeared first on Revolution Watch.

The Calatrava ref. 5227 is Patek Philippe's most quietly compelling dress watch, equipped with an 18K white gold 39 mm round case with a concave bezel, scalloped lugs, and an Officer 's-style case back with an invisible-hinged dust cover protecting the sapphire crystal view of the movement. New for 2026, the reference 5227G-015 pairs white gold with a salmon-colored rose-gilt opaline dial.

Piaget arrived at Watches & Wonders 2026 with a familiar face wearing a new expression. The Polo Signature Date 42 is not a reinvention; it is a deepening. Taking the well-established cushion-shaped sports watch architecture that has anchored Piaget's contemporary lineup since 2016, the Maison has grafted the gadroon motif directly onto the dial.

Few manufacturers have approached the chronograph with the same degree of deliberate, long-term intent as Patek Philippe. What began in 2005 with calibre CHR 27-525 PS—at the time the world's thinnest split-seconds chronograph movement—was less a product launch than the opening move in a sustained program to build an entirely manufacture-developed chronograph family from the ground up.

Set against the breezy waterfront backdrop of Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, Windup Watch Fair San Francisco returns to the Gateway Pavilion.

We've still got a lot of spring left, so TAG Heuer is giving some new, vintage-y colors in steel and plastic.

“So many Tudors, so little time.” That could be a bumper sticker, a tattoo, and perhaps even the Watches & Wonders motto in almost any year the event takes place. One of the real challenges of the show, at least in the very first moments of it, is deciding which Tudor releases to focus on. […] The post Watches & Wonders: Tudor Updates the Black Bay Ceramic with a New Bracelet appeared first on Worn & Wound.

The Arceau Samarcande Minute Repeater is the piece at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 that most clearly places Hermès in a conversation with the established haute horlogerie houses. A minute repeater on demand, a skeletonized movement designed exclusively for Hermès, a dial carved from Saint-Louis crystal into the silhouette of a horse's head.

Armin Strom has built its identity on one of horology's most demanding propositions: resonance, practically applied. The Biel/Bienne manufacture has spent years refining the principle of two synchronized balance wheels operating in harmonic resonance, producing movements that are as compelling to watch as they are technically rigorous.

Alongside the festivities surrounding the Oyster case’s 100th anniversary, Rolex had another surprise in store: a new in-house gold alloy. Known as Jubilee Gold, the first watch to flaunt the proprietary alloy is the iconic Day-Date, also referred to as the President’s watch. Catalogued in the “Exceptional Watches” collection, together with the Rolesium Daytona Albino, […]

Hamilton is marking the United States’ 250th anniversary with a new limited release tied to both the brand’s American roots and its ties to military history.

Founded […] The post Hamilton Celebrates America’s 250th Anniversary with a Special Khaki Field Mechanical appeared first on Worn & Wound.

This is the one novelty from Patek Philippe that demands a longer look. The new reference 5249R-001 is the first automaton wristwatch Patek Philippe has produced in its contemporary history in a 43 mm rose gold Officer's-style case housing a movement that, when a pusher at 2 o'clock is depressed, animates figures on the dial to reveal the time on demand via retrograde hands.

The forward-thinking brand reinterprets the DB28xs Steel Wheels by focusing on material innovation.

Playing on nostalgia is nothing new for watch brands, but I’ve mostly been immune to it. Usually it’s for a period of time I wasn’t alive for, or a war I didn’t fight in, or an old car I simply don’t care about. But I’ve come to accept that I’m at an age where nostalgia […] The post Watches & Wonders: A Few Thoughts on Nostalgia, the 1990s, and Moser’s Streamliner Pump appeared first on Worn & Wound.

Tudor’s Black Bay line has grown steadily over the years, moving from the larger early models to more compact and wearable formats. After the original Black Bay and the Black Bay 58, as well as the oversized Black Bay 68, the Black Bay 54 came in as the smallest of the lot, not to mention […]
