All right, everyone, it’s my turn to tell you about my favorite watches of 2025. With the calendar winding down, it’s remarkable how close the end of the year suddenly feels. The past few weeks have slipped by at an almost unfair pace, but stepping back for a moment makes one thing obvious: […]

I will be the first to admit that selecting the top watches of the year under, over, or between certain price points is an arbitrary exercise and perhaps not all that useful. Still, it’s the end of the year, and the end of year is all about list making (and reflecting on the last 12 The post […]

Examining the broad scope of two decades’ worth of design and editions for FPJ’s most classic watch.

When I’m planning to leave the house for a full day – whether I’m headed to work or someplace else – I’m a chronic overpacker. To me, there’s peace of mind in knowing I have an extra charger, granola bar, or jacket with me, especially when returning home isn’t easy. Traveling to the […]

We have seen a massive increase in interesting small Japanese brands in recent years. Great examples are Kurono Tokyo, Hajime Asaoka, Kikuchi Nakagawa, and Minase. One of the newest microbrands is Kiwame Tokyo, which presented its inaugural Kurotsuki and Usuki models not too long ago. The watches […]

Our friends over at Monochrome and Habring² are building quite a history together. Their first collaboration, in 2021, celebrated Monochrome’s 15th anniversary. The online watch magazine and the Austrian watchmaking couple teamed up once more in 2023. Their sophomore release, a split-seconds […]

For our fourth MONOCHROME Montre de Souscription, we are teaming up once again with independent Austrian watchmaker Habring², a brand dear to our hearts with whom we created our first MdS watch. Following the instant success of the Montre de Souscription 1, a monopusher chronograph with a salmon […]

The publication’s fourth entry in this collaborative series with independents returns to Austria with a special take on the Habring² Erwin.

In the modern era, the Rado Captain Cook diver collection has largely been divided into two categories: the beefy, ultra-modern side, which often highlights the brand’s expertise in ceramics and skeletonization, and the vintage-focused side, which generally stays true to the line’s diminutive […]

Month after month, the Swiss watch industry is experiencing stagnant sales and even a marked decline in exports to key markets. All voices – industry, studies – are turning to China to explain the current difficulties, praying for a rapid return to growth in the Middle Kingdom, after years of […]

There’s no shortage of watches with nature-inspired dials — we’re looking at you, Grand Seiko — but most are a bit of a stretch, requiring some imagination (or trust in marketing copy) to see the connection. For Circula’s newest release, the ProSea, the brand chose a fittingly aquatic […]

For more than 15 years, Zeitwinkel, an independent watchmaker based in Saint-Imier, has quietly crafted mechanical watches focused on precision, clarity, and long-term reliability. Founded in 2006, the brand produces all its movements in-house and builds every watch by hand in small numbers. Its […]

The first thing that popped up in my head when laying eyes on the Spring Drive-powered Seiko Prospex LX GMT U.S. Special Edition SNR058 was “Root Beer.” The colors, shapes, and vibe make me think of that famous GMT watch made by The Crown. It’s a good thing this watch is designed for the U.S. […]

intro 2025 has been a big year both personally and in watches, especially following last year’s new life updates and watch acquisitions. In that SOTC, we covered the gains and losses of 2024 as well as the first quarter of 2025, showcasing some of the newest additions such as the vintage Casio […]

As 2025 draws to a close, it’s a natural moment to pause, take stock, and look ahead at what the coming year may hold for the watch industry. In this week’s episode of Fratello Talks, Nacho is joined by Daan and Lex for an in-depth conversation about the various factors and forces that are […]

Seiko launched the Astron in 1969, changing not just the brand’s trajectory but the way watches were made. The first commercially available quartz wristwatch, it arrived in solid gold and cost ¥450,000, about $1,250 at the time, or roughly $10,000 in 2025. Though “vintage” to modern eyes, […]

With companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, space tourism is no longer the stuff of sci-fi novels. While Omega’s Speedmaster Moonwatch has dominated the space story, others, like Fortis, have produced robust tool watches for astronauts, cosmonauts and “novonauts” […]

Never has there been a more attention-grabbing timepiece in my watch box than the Lord Elgin Direct Read 7775, commonly nicknamed the Chevron by enthusiasts. Every collector has a watch (or two, or three, or four, or five, or…) they’ve always wanted to add to their collection but can’t, for […]

When the market demanded big watches, Patek held the course. Then, in its own time, the brand launched this maximalist, ultra-complicated watch that will define Patek’s future.

Continuing our coverage from the scene at Dubai Watch Week, including yet another unique Rolex and much more from Burj Park.

A few years ago (almost two years to the day, in fact) I picked up my James Lamb Origin Series. It’s a watch I had become kind of obsessed with in the months leading up to my purchase, and I’m happy to say that two years into ownership, long after the supposed honeymoon period would The post […]

The Swiss brand Movado has a long history that tends to surprise most watch enthusiasts. The brand goes all the way back to 1881, and within a quarter century, it already employed 150 watchmakers. While most consumers now know the brand best for its iconic Museum Watch, Movado is a true legacy […]

The Girard-Perregaux Bridges Cosmos was first introduced in 2019, a show of technical ambition with a hint at philosophical intent. It was (and still is) an impressive watch that provided an emotional and physical connection between the celestial and the terrestrial worlds. Its construction centred […]

It’s official: Patek Philippe is bringing its Grand Exhibition of Watch Art to Italy next year. Milan has been chosen to host the seventh edition of the Grand Exhibition and will open its doors to the public, free of charge, from 2 to 18 October 2026. Marking its seventh Grand Exhibition to date, […]

I don’t mind admitting that I can get a bit cynical and jaded when discussing watches. There’s just so much coming out and, frankly, not everything is equally inspired or well executed. So when I get the chance to go hands-on with something like this, it can feel like a breath of fresh air. […]

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 watch will likely be interpreted as one of two things: a) an attention- and status-seeking purchase, or b) a self-centered exercise amidst already highly compromised watch purchases. But, in all fairness, it can be something (almost) completely different. […]

Did you know that during the Christmas period, salmon consumption rises sharply? A substantial share of annual sales happens in December, particularly in Europe. In fact, around 25% of all smoked salmon is sold during this time. And with that in mind, look at the new Armin Strom Gravity Equal Force […]

The Chinese Lunar New Year, which kicks off on the 17th of February 2026 and lasts until the 5th of February 2027, welcomes the seventh animal of the zodiac, the Horse. Given the importance of the Moon in determining the cycle of the 12 zodiac animals, Longines has selected a moon phase model from […]

Not too long ago, Rolex added a surprise Submariner Date desk clock to its collection. If you are familiar with the brand’s accessories, you know that a variety of cufflinks are available to match your Rolex timepiece. But with the introduction of the new Rolex Submariner Date desk clock, the […]

For the second time, following the inaugural edition won by Raúl Pagès, La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton will host a biennial prize that celebrates the creative talent, savoir-faire and audacity of the independent watchmaking industry, to support and encourage artisans and entrepreneurs and […]

When I started writing about watches for a living, it seemed like every watch was a dive watch. I’m only slightly exaggerating. Six years ago, we were entering the height of vintage dive watch reissue fever, and things have only begun to slow down on that front in a noticeable way in the last […]

Hiroshi Fujiwara’s classic spin on the iconic model’s most recent redesign is a match made in heaven (or Harajuku, really).

As most of you might know by now, this year Breguet celebrated its 250th anniversary. And this highly important brand, whose founder has been instrumental in the development of modern watchmaking, has released rather incredible models all year long. It started with a deceptively simple Souscription […]

The holidays in the city demand a certain energy—bold, bright, and ready to move. The G-SHOCK G-STEEL GM5600M-1 fits right into that rhythm. Its iconic square silhouette gets a modern industrial upgrade with polished and textured bezel that plays perfectly against winter layers: think durable […]

Employment in the Swiss watch industry fell by 1.3% in 2025, the first drop since 2021, according to an industry association report.

Dutch watchmaker de Rijke & Co. is among those that get noticed by thinking differently. The brand’s debut Amalfi collection, launched in 2019, was built around a clever rotatable centre case inside an outer cradle, a concept that fused functionality and design ingenuity. For its second […]

Thinking back to the good old days of the video store, there were three cartoon series that my siblings and I picked more than any others: Looney Tunes, The Simpsons, and The Pink Panther. And while the former two long-running shows have had many hundreds (and even thousands) of tie-in products […]

‘Tis the season for giving and Hamilton’s Gift Shop is here to help you find the perfect gift for that impossible-to-buy-for person on your list. Whether you’re shopping for the rugged outdoorsman or the refined and sophisticated music connoisseur, there’s a watch in Hamilton’s collection […]

An automotive collaboration that leans into the nostalgia for the speed, danger, and style of the 1980s and its legendary Group B era.

Are you looking to buy an Omega Speedmaster but don’t know where to start? We’re here to help! Over the past 65+ years, Omega has created many variations of one of the world’s most famous chronographs. The classic 42mm Moonwatch has been in the collection since 1965, and to the novice eye, […]

Say what you will about Movado‘s perceived market position and recent history of focusing on mostly consumer-facing (as opposed to enthusiast-facing) marketing and communication. The company has always done two things correctly: Movado watches have always been well-made and a good value for the […]

Finally, it’s my turn to tell you about my picks for the best watches of 2025. Several of my colleagues have already published theirs. Some chose watches that I’d also scribbled down for my list. Luckily, though, there were many great releases this year, so I’m happy to report that I can […]

The brand goes out with a (big) bang via four limited-edition watches that will be right at home in a Miami nightclub.

Over the last few years, Geneva-based Raymond Weil‘s biggest hit seems to be the Millesime watch collection. It all started with the slim and slick vintage-styled Raymond Weil Millesime Small Second model. After that success, Raymond Weil added different versions of the Millesime, including […]
