AR Staff — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 07:36:46 +0000

Let’s be honest. No matter how many times watch brands and new watch media proclaim that “all watches are unisex!” and “anyone can wear anything!” when introducing the latest 44mm clonker—while modelling said timepiece on an impossibly hirsute wrist, we might add—there’s no denying that watches are, to an extent, gendered. Beyond the obvious question of size, there’s often a certain degree of tension between fashion and function, with the argument made that women’s watches should address the former while […]

With 66 brands exhibiting at Watches & Wonders 2026, there are hundreds—if not thousands—of new watch releases coming out of Geneva. But between lauded manufactures simply throwing out red herrings in the form of new metal and dial configurations and innovative timepieces from independent brands going under the radar, it can be difficult to find the best releases simply by sifting through wrap ups that simply run through every watch released by a brand (but if that’s your flavour, we’ve […]

Henry Blake — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:52:53 +0000

Audemars Piguet has released its Watches & Wonders 2026 novelties — and there’s not a Royal Oak in sight. Instead, the Le Brassus manufacture has used the fair to announce the launch of its Atelier des Établisseurs project, which seeks to bring together some of the best watchmakers and craftspeople in the industry to produce highly individualised, specialised timepieces. The name references the concept of établissage, which dates back to the 18th century; well before vertical integration (or in-house manufacturing) […]

Elsewhere, jewellery and horology codes meet in the Serpenti Tubogas and Serpenti Aeterna lines. Here, every new Bulgari release […]

Would you like a Rolex, darling? Yes? Well, how about a Tudor instead?

Vacheron Constantin Has Released The Most Complicated Wristwatch. Ever.

Admin — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 10:36:27 +0000

The appellation ‘Master of Complications’ may be associated with another luxury watch brand, but Vacheron Constantin has proven that it’s truly worthy of the title. Last year, the manufacture released the Berkley Grand Complication, which was equipped with 63 distinct complications; an impressive display of mechanical watchmaking in its own right, but, at 98mm, more suited to life as an extremely complicated, over-engineered paperweight (or weighty pocketwatch) than a wearable work of art. Now, the Swiss manufacture has followed it […]
