19+ hour, 31+ min ago (647+ words) As a freelance journalist specialising in watches and jewellery, Rebecca Doulton began writing for the Financial Times in Mexico City in the early 1980s. Formerly the web editor of Tiempo de Relojes website, and watch editor of The Jewellery Editor, Rebecca brings with her over thirty years of experience as a wordsmith to her new position as editor at MONOCHROME. When it comes to watch brands, Moser is something of an iconoclast. From the start, Moser took a less conventional path, often taking jabs at the watchmaking industry with the Swiss Alp watch, deriding smartwatches, and the Swiss Mad watch with its Swiss cheese case. Time has worked its way, and Moser's preoccupations have matured into more intellectual pursuits, exploring, for example, the relevance of contemporary technology in watchmaking. Following the radical and polarising Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis of 2022, with its…...

21+ hour, 30+ min ago (1601+ words) For a number of years, I have anticipated both the popularity of the "everyday art dial watch" and the proliferation of video-game-inspired timepieces. Both are well represented in AVI-8s recent limited-edition'set of Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic Capcom 1942 Pixel Limited Edition wristwatches.

The line was introduced as the first to undergo the Manufacture's 1000-Hour Control testing, a rigorous in-house certification of accuracy and reliability applied to the complete watch, not just the movement.

The line was introduced as the first to undergo the Manufacture's 1000-Hour Control testing, a rigorous in-house certification of accuracy and reliability applied to the complete watch, not just the movement. Decades later, the Master Control, just like the Reverso, remains a cornerstone of the catalogue, praised for its understated aesthetic and mechanical integrity. This year, the brand returns to the origins of the series…...

1+ day, 5+ hour ago (467+ words) By Jovan Krstevski It's always interesting when a successful partnership decides to revisit its greatest hit. The dialogue between TAG Heuer and Hiroshi Fujiwara's fragment has, since it began in 2018, produced watches that become immediately sought after by collectors. For their third collaboration, they have returned to the Carrera platform, this time applying Fujiwara's clean black and white aesthetic to the contemporary Carrera Chronograph with the glassbox construction. It is a confident move because you do not approach an [] Introducing The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Fragment Limited Edition Watch The third chapter of this collaboration focuses on clarity, contrast, and a steady hand.

1+ day, 6+ hour ago (188+ words) TAG Heuer's newest Monaco features their boldest case concept yet. TAG Heuer's been on a roll these past few years, and we've really enjoyed seeing where they're headed. They've also been dropping some pretty insane watches along the way, and recently, they've unveiled their boldest case concept for their iconic Monaco line yet." Inside the watch is one of TAG Heuer's most complex movements, the calibre TH81-00. It's a self-winding movement developed with Vaucher in Fleurier, and it has a 5Hz beat rate with 65 hours of power reserve. The TH81-00's signature flourish, however, is that it has a rattrapante chronograph, meaning you can split the seconds to cover two things, such as lap times. TAG Heuer is only making 30 of these watches, and they're all presented on a black rubber strap with Alcantara inserts. They're also pricey at CHF150,000 per piece. Is it…...

1+ day, 9+ hour ago (513+ words) Breguet's Exp'rimentale 1 debuts a new movement, with a constant force escapement based on magnetic resistance, its first high-frequency caliber. Fresh off its top-prize win at the 2025 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Gen've for the traditional Classique Souscription, Breguet pivots from the strictly historic to the futuristic with the Exp'rimentale 1. The watch is the debut piece in a new collection from the brand's research and development department. The 75-piece limited edition, with a constant-force escapement based on magnetic resistance, is Breguet's first high-frequency tourbillon, beating at a super-fast rate of 10 Hz, or 72,000 vph, more than double the industry standard of 4 Hz/28,800 vph (most traditional tourbillons run at a frequency of 2.5 Hz/18,000vph). The high frequency, which increases shock resistance, combines with the constant force magnetic escapement to give the watch a high chronometric rating. The title "Experimentale" is somewhat misleading. The new watch…...

1+ day, 10+ hour ago (730+ words) Vacheron Constantin has had, by all accounts, a banner year defined by what I think most would categorize as "heavy hitters," a watch media term of art that implies a certain combination of hype and watchmaking maximalism. January, of course, saw the release of the long awaited and much discussed 222 in steel, and they [] The post Vacheron Constantin's New Traditionelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin appeared first on Worn & Wound. But Vacheron is closing 2025 in a far more understated way, and this latest release is perhaps my favorite thing I've seen from the brand this year. It's certainly among the most approachable watches they've debuted, although that's a relative term and the new Traditionelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin is very expensive by any metric (they start at an even $100,000). But in terms of what this watch actually represents, it feels like…...

1+ day, 11+ hour ago (666+ words) I was drawn to the Berneron Quanti'me Annuel project primarily because of the Mirage watch " Sylvain Berneron's previous and first creation as the head of an independent brand, launched in 2023and his team. Having witnessed countless launches over the past three decades, including the most ambitious and truly grand creations, I found the Mirage by Berneron to be the perfect concept watch. The Mirage was received enthusiastically by almost all reviewers (my search revealed no negative comments), and this, it seemed to me, was a genuine reaction, unrelated to any prospect of a share in the marketing budget or the hope of one. In any case, this sincerity matches my own response. Compared to the Mirage's free-flowing design, which gives the impression of an animated soul, the Quanti'me Annuel's layout feels very rigid and extremely organised. This applies to all three…...
