Urwerk, the brand that spoiled us with satellites, orbits, and time running sideways, has unveiled something that at first glance seems almost classic. The UR-10 Spacemeter has a round dial and central hands. But don't be fooled — this is no everyday watch. It's a mechanical manifesto about how fast our planet is spinning. Literally.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo RD#5 is the watchmaker's answer to the question no one dared to ask: how do you squeeze a flying tourbillon, flyback chronograph, and peripheral rotor into a classic 39mm case while maintaining a slim 8.1mm profile? The result is a limited edition of 150 pieces that is not only a tribute to the brand's 150th anniversary, but also a watchmaker's demonstration of power: the new caliber 8100, the innovative use of titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), ergonomics inspired by smartphone buttons, and a patented rack-and-pinion chronograph reset that makes it all smoother than British humor. Whether you're a collector, a snob, or simply an admirer of watchmaking, the RD#5 is the watchmaker's equivalent of astrophysics - almost impossible, but stunning in practice.

The Girard-Perregaux x Aston Martin Laureato Skeleton is a new joint edition from Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin. The 42-mm black ceramic case houses the skeletonized, proprietary caliber GP01800-2627 with a 54-hour power reserve. The green PVD on the rotor and hands is a tribute to the “racing green” tradition, while the 55 hand-finished inner corners are in a class of their own. Limited to 88 pieces.

CIGA Design and Swiss Label Noir expand the successful Blue Planet II series – the new Black Star edition features an extremely deep “black hole” that absorbs an incredible 99.6 % of visible light, priced at approximately €1,900, making it accessible to a wider audience
