#Mido added a One Crown to the Multifort collection. Not only is it $450 cheaper than the 2 crown, but it now really locks like a Royal Oak “homage”. With its long Swiss pedigree, this is going to sell! 4 models, all $1070 flip.it/yk2a2X

#ochs-und-junior Introduce 2 Settimanas in PVD Series to start its 20th anniversary celebrations. The focus is on the day dot, which moves quickly across the 8 to 12 slot to start each Monday morning. 36x10.8mm; 50m resistance. ETA 2824-2 top grade. $2900. www.ochsundjunior.swiss/watches/sett...

British Watchmakers Day coming up! Here is a list with links to the exhibitors: britishwatchmakers.com/the-makers/ There's some great work happening in the UK!

Here's a new company for me: #Pequignet. I like it, especially the new Royale Paris Manual. 39.5x11.5mm. Thin bezel, textured & layered silver monochrome small seconds dial. Elegant but still with 50m resistance. Nice hand wound movement on display! $4500. showroom.pequignet.com/en/products/...

I'm a big #Awake fan, seeing in person at a couple of watch shows. Their dials are always striking, but this one is next level. The Son Mài Frosted Leaf Royal Red. Hand painted using traditional Vietnamese techniques. A 100 piece LE, currently still available! $3k. awakewatches.com/products/son...

Made in collaboration with Beams for the brand’s 50th anniversary, the latest #King-Seiko KSK SDKA025 has a stamped radial pattern designed to mimic "beams" of light — get it? 38.6mm; 6L35 movement. 300 piece LE. $2700. www.beams.co.jp/en/item/beam...

#Omega has released it's Milano Cortina Winter Olympics Seamaster 300M. Definite wintery vibe and I like the white on textured silver raised numeral bezel No connection to Milano Cortina or the Olympics? Who cares! Buy it if you like it and have $12k to spare www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watche...

#Wristwatch season 2026 has begun with #LVMH Watch Week. Here's an overview of what's been released, with the majority being 5 new Zenith Defy models (among those, the 1969 Revival stands out for me), including two drop dead gorgeous #Genta two-hand models: oracleoftime.com/every-watch-...

2026 is becoming the year of the reverse panda dial. Now from #Hamilton, 3 versions of the 40mm American Classic Intramatic Chronograph H: Blue, Green and Brown. Matte dials with orange sub dial hands. Very 60s racing vibes. H51. 10bar. $2445. share.google/CFNUtVck0DwW...

#Luminox is in on the Year of the Horse with a LE Atacama Field Year of the Horse Field Watch. 43 mm x 100m resistance. $625.00 luminox.com/products/ata...

#ChristopherWard has added a new C60 Trident Pro 300 44mm to the roster. 44mm? To quote Shrek, "Do you think maybe he's compensating for something?" www.christopherward.com/int/watches/...

#Nivada fans, the votes have been counted (if you are on the email list and participated) for the newes model Chronoking and the winner is: Blue. Yes. Blue. So this summer you can buy a Blue Chronoking. Sigh..

This 300m LE diver from #VPC caught my eye. The dimensions and typography on the bezel coupled with the COSC SW300 would seem to make this a real competitor with Tudor, Omega and even..dare I say..Rolex. Not inexpensive at $3k, but would love to try it on acquiremag.com/watches/vpc-....

Bought my first watch from Chrono24 and it's my first #Omega! A 2024 Seamaster Olympic Official Timekeeper. Fits like a glove, which never worked for me for the 300 or the Speedy. Very happy 😊. #wristcheck

The #Timex x James Brand GMT is on sale today for $549! A can’t miss at 30% off with a carbon forged dial and crown: flip.it/b0pr_v

From #Yema, the Skin Diver Slim Bronze CMM.20 Limited Edition (200 of 2 models, Grey or Green). CMM=Calibre Manufacture Morteau 20 micro-rotor--a movement worthy of the display caseback (I find many are not). 39mmx10mm. Vintage inspired all around. $2,490. yema.com/products/yem...

#Oris has added a "Bullseye" dial to its classic Big Crown Pointer Date lineup--and I love it! 38mm, 5 bar resistance, Caliber 754-1. $2,200ish. www.oris.ch/en-LV/produc...

From Arnold&Son, the Perpetual Moon 41.5 Red Gold Year of the Horse. Very literal interpretation. Obviously a work of art. Second moonphase on the back is wild. But there's only 8 of them, so price is irrelevant. Good luck if it's your grail. timekeepers.club/articles/nov...

Let the 2026 releases begin! #Omega just added 2 reverse panda Speedmaster models (Stella; gold) to its Moonwatch lineup. Lacquered sandwich dials with ceramic bezels and apparently very shiny! Not cheap: : $10,400 (Steel), $49,300 (Gold). flip.it/kkS8ew

Poison darts at six paces! (C'mon someone knows the reference). From #G-SHOCK the "Poison Dart" Frogman GW8200TPF-1 inspired by three-stripe eponymous amphibian (that appears when the LED comes on). $800 www.casio.com/us/watches/g...

From #IWC, the Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse. Burgundy dial, and gold hands and IWC-manufactured 52011 caliber's oscillating mass is crafted in the shape of a galloping horse, paying tribute to the Lunar New Year. $15,500. www.iwc.com/us-en/watche...

Watch watching at the Golden Globes. And the winner is…Jon Krasinski’s Glasshutte Original Sixties www.esquire.com/uk/watches/g...

The new #Seiko Presage 1895 Timekeeper revival. White enamel dial in a tonneau case. $1900. The dial is pretty but too much text. I like the subdial, but not necessary. Would've preferred small seconds or no subdial at all. Still kudos for trying something new/old share.google/6Ouwx67CW8xC...

Sorry but no #Bauhaus Friday today. There is, however, this gorgeous porcelain dial 60-piece LE coming in February from #Credor: the Goldfeather. 37mmx8.3mm! Manual wind Cal. 6890 on display. The dial is entrancing. Likely impossible to get but $17k if you can. timekeepers.club/articles/nov...

From micro #TemporalWorks x The Armoury, two sector dial and one red laquer dial 3 handers. 37mmx10mm; SW-210-1 Lots of competition in this sector (pun intended), and, at about $2500, I like the #Longines and the #Raymond-Weil offerings better. But explore! www.thearmoury.com/collections/...

From #Oris, the Year of the Fire Horse Limited Edition. Red dial-of course-but also a cool movement that has a 10-day power reserve (standing to prone horse subdial!), day, date, month and week of the year (on the perimeter markings). Only 88 of them. 43mm. $7772. www.oris.ch/en-LV/produc...

#seiko is celebrating its 145th anniversary in style with 4 new releases one a King Seiko). You can read about them here. The Prospex Speedtimer chrono ain't a Rolex, but for $2500, you could buy 10 of them instead of a Daytona, and I think it's stunning: watchesbysjx.com/2026/01/seik...

From French microbrand #Albishorn, a LE monopusher COSC military-style chronograph. 39mmx12mm is great. Looks like a high quality dial and case. But the mix of faux 1940's styling and modern elements (like the red aluminum pusher) seem odd to me. $5k-ish. albishorn-watches.ch/en/collectio...

A fun read from #Time&Tide reviewing their favorite microbrand releases in 2025. A good overview of the microbrand landscape going into 2026…What watches or trends are you looking forward to from the micros in 2026? timeandtidewatches.com/micro-but-mi...

From #TAG-Heuer, the LE Carrera Chronograph Year of the Horse. Nice refresh of the dial with red accents on the sub-dial, sweep seconds and the date window with the 7 replaced with the Chinese character for horse. Display back with…a horse wearing No. 7. $7850. www.tagheuer.com/us/en/timepi...

#Kurono is dropping a Special Projects 37mm INSEKI ‘隕石’, by Hajime Asaoka. His first meteorite dial with Kurono's signature design language. A very limited release available on kuronotokyo.com for $1,850 on 15 January, 11:00 PM JST. kuronotokyo.com/pages/37mm-i...

My buddy just purchased this #Depancel Autosport. Though it looks like a chronograph the subdials are really day and month indicators. Miyota 9122. 50m resistance. Great looks. $750.

Here’s the #GQ recap of their obsession watches of 2025: www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/17-k...

#Swatch group's #Mido wins the first drop of 2026 award with a new rose gold colored PVD coated steel Multifort Two Crown. Internal rotating bezel, 72hrs reserve, 100m resistance. $1,500ish. www.midowatches.com/en/multifort...

Ok...you didn't ask for it, but here is my Top 10 list of 2025 (I'll provide links later):

Here is Monochrome's list of best value propositions of 2025. There are so many more I would add to this list--from the #Casio Edifice to the #Timex Gali and the #ChristopherWard Twelve 660, What would be your picks? monochrome-watches.com/recap-best-a...

Here's an article about Fratello's most "liked" Instagram posts of 2025. Not sure what this tells us about the state of the watch hobby...or Instagram...or us generally, but I welcome your thoughts (and likes 👍) www.fratellowatches.com/fratello-ins...

Hodinkee's top picks of 2025. Some familiar faces, some less so. I 😍the #Lange Odysseus in Honeygold; it should have made more lists and was my fave (except for the Calatrava) out of W&W'25. I'm also happy to see the wierdly cool #LouisVuitton Monterey. Yours? www.hodinkee.com/articles/our...

This #Citizen Attesa is my favorite so far! Eco-Drive Ti Moonphase, with radio control and perpetual calendar. 100m resistance and I think the dial looks stunning. $1,195. Nice way to close out 2025, Citizen! www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/produc...

Gear Patrol is out with its Top 18 watches of 2025. This is a list I can get behind. I like the inclusion of #AtelierWen, with the watch I tried on at WindUp NYC. Obviously the #Nomos world timer. And that Calatrava… www.gearpatrol.com/watches/best...

#Maen had updated its Manhattan connection with the Ultra Thin. 37x7.1mm with a hand wound ETA7001 on display. The hammered effect dial adds real texture and depth. The whole package looks premium. With 10ATM resistance, a sure hit @$1300. MANHATTAN 37 ULTRA-THIN share.google/PV6QvnGwqX8a...

From the folks at #Time&Tide, a list of the most “affordable” watches of 2025. Of course, “affordable” may not really apply to a $5k watch, but these are all interesting and good value-for-the-dollar releases: timeandtidewatches.com/best-afforda...

Christmas might be over, but if you are a Marvel Avengers fan, or know one, why not grab this #Citizen Eco-Drive at nearly 50% off? $268. Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Marvel Avengers Silver Stainless Steel Watch and Pin Gift Set, Avengers 60th Anniversary (Model: AW2080-64W) a.co/d/8ROYRgw

I'm thinking 2026 will be a great year for dress watches with the rebirth of Universal Geneve and Galet. There were some pretty nice releases in 2025 and here's a list from Monochrome. It's a good one, but many left off especially the #Lange Saxonia Thin 😍 share.google/i7c8rBjyfhlg...

This one is fun: Fratello's top solar watches of 2025. I would have included at least one #Citizen and the #Junghans 1972 Mega Solar 【F】 Fratello's Favorite Solar-Powered Watches Of 2025 share.google/Kiaa2qockdOG...

Well I guess it's Merry Christmas! Thank you #Minus8 watches for your giveaway. This all Ti 300m Diver 2.0 checks all the boxes for me. Very modern styling, extremely comfortable bracelet and plenty of micro adjustment. I won mine but you can buy one for $598. Worth it! share.google/7Sh34yN6d99b...

The #ParmigianiFleurier PF Minute Rattrapante remains one of my grails. The time interval complication is perfectly done and in combination with those skeleton hands and insane but calm dial details--its just about perfect. Now in Arctic Rose. Watch the video.. www.parmigiani.com/en/watches/t...

From #G-Shock a Casioak collab with Maison Kitsune. Fox motif and great color…you know you want one…$210 www.casio.com/content/dam/... www.casio.com/us/watches/g...

Another listicle, but with a twist: not the best new watches of 2025, but the #Worn&Wound best new watch BRANDS of 2025 (with a little cheating) flip.it/1pYD0S :

If you’re a fan of ‘Ol Blue Eyes (or at least his music), the #Bulova Men's Frank Sinatra Summer Wind on sale for 50% off from…that company. $447 a.co/d/fmmMRpx
