Could Caitlin Clark be wearing this when she hers her name called with the first pick tonight? We'll have to wait and see.

First presented in 2021, Patek Philippe introduced a new perpetual calendar with an innovative patented one-line display that displays the day, the date, and the month on a single line in an elongated aperture beneath 12 o'clock. Now, for Watches & Wonders 2024, Patek Philippe presents the 5236P with a salmon-colored dial. The first iteration of the Patek Philippe In-Line Perpetual Calendar ref. 5236P featured a gorgeous blue dial; however, here at WCL we have a soft spot for salmon dials.

Something we find ourselves saying a lot: these pictures don’t do justice to this watch. These pictures, by Kat Shoulders, are excellent, of course, but because they only capture a single moment in time, they miss an important element of drama in the dial of Grand Seiko’s new SBGC275. The new Spring Drive chronograph GMT […] The post Hands-On With the Grand Seiko SBGC275, with a Dramatic Red (but Sometimes Orange) Dial appeared first on Worn & Wound.

The Perpetual 1908 is now available in a .950 platinum 39mm case with an ice blue guilloché dial. The hue of this dial is in line with the exclusive use by Rolex of ice blue dials on platinum cases. For this new Rolex Perpetual 1908, the brand has tapped into a more traditional watchmaking approach by decorating the dial with hand guilloché.

Equipped with a 36 mm 18K Everose gold —Rolex’s proprietary alloy made in its foundry— case, this new version of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 introduces a blue-green dial unlike any other. New for the collection, the Day-Date 36 Everose Blue-Green Dial ref. 128395TBR features a bezel set with 60 trapeze-cut diamonds and a dial with 10 baguette-cut diamonds serving as markers.

A well executed update to one of its oldest shapes, complete with a new monopusher chronograph.

Equipped with a 40 mm 18K Everose gold —Rolex’s proprietary alloy made in its foundry— case, this new version of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 introduces a smoky slate ombré dial. This new ombré hue offers a delicate transition between light at the center of the dial and darkness around the edge. Graced with faceted, deconstructed Roman numerals and faceted index hour markers in 18K pink gold, this dial represents the continuity of a design that we introduced in the 1980s and relaunched in 2019.

For the first time, the Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710 in stainless steel is cloaked with a new cerachrom bezel insert in grey and black just like that insert introduced in 2023 for the 18K yellow gold GMT-Master II model ref. 126718GRNR. This time the new GMT-Master II also features a 40 mm case where either the Oyster or Jubilee bracelets are interchangeable unlike on previous models where if the watch was fitted with a jubilee bracelet, the case wouldn’t take an oyster bracelet.

In 2022, Audemars Piguet unveiled a plethora of new Royal Oak models to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this iconic line. Among these releases stood the Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 41mm reference 26240, adorned, like other anniversary automatic editions, with a special rotor sporting a prominent 50 logo. However, by 2023, these gave way to regular models […]

What better way to end Watches & Wonders than buying my first MoonSwatch?

When I say Jaeger LeCoultre, you say Reverso! Or Memovox! Or maybe Polaris! Or something to that effect. The point is that Jaeger LeCoultre, JLC to the cool kids, has a few iconic models immediately associated with its vaunted Maison. But the archives run deeper and into stranger horological territories. At Watches & Wonders 2024, […] The post The Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Line Makes a Triumphant Return appeared first on Worn & Wound.

Pushing the boundaries of Haute Horlogerie now comes the new Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon. Its dimensions, which truly stretch the limits of watchmaking feasibility, with a diameter of 41.5 mm and a thickness of only 2 mm, make it the thinnest tourbillon watch on the market. The blue PVD-treated cobalt alloy case is water resistant to 20 meters and the watch is simply unreal. A glorious way to celebrate 150 years of history at Piaget.

Happy Birthday G-SHOCK!
