Two Broke Watch Snobs
I hope to make the case that there are vintage quartz watches that are worth collecting, even if they aren’t quite as rare. And to kick things off, I will start with perhaps a particularly eye-catching model: the Seiko 7A28-7010.

Last year, Breguet gave us a first taste of their new design for the Marine collection. However, the new look didn’t get the massive attention you might expect for an update of a pillar collection. Not because it wasn’t noteworthy but because the new look was revealed in the form of the Marine Équation Marchante … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Titanium case and a new style dial – the Breguet Marine 5517 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Tudor have added another – smaller – member to the Black Bay family at Baselworld 2018. It’s inspired by the “Big Crown” (reference 7924) Submariner, and named after the year it was released.

Editor’s Note: Look, it’s not the first time anyone has thought of combining watches with whisky. It is, however, surely the first time an Italian barman in Ginza, Tokyo did the matching.

When you visit the heart and home of Longines, at Saint Imier in the Switzerland’s Jura valley, the brand’s link with skiing is immediately demystified.

As most of you might remember, Breguet celebrated its 250th anniversary last year, and did so by releasing rather spectacular watches, from the ultra-elegant 7235, to the compact 38mm Type XX or the Experimentale 1, the range-topping model with its 10Hz high-frequency tourbillon and its constant force magnetic escapement. But the watch that started the […]

What We Know Louis Vuitton is adding a new material to its Tambour Convergence collection with the introduction of the Tambour Convergence Mirror Steel. The Tambour collection, first introduced in 2002, takes its name from the French word for “drum,” referencing the case's drum-shaped profile. In 2025, the brand expanded the line with the Tambour Convergence, marking an important milestone as its first guichet-style watch conceived entirely at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. Now, after several precious-metal and artisanal interpretations, the latest model trades gold and platinum for hardened stainless steel, making it more practical for everyday wear and bringing it in at a lower price point than its predecessors. Measuring 37mm across and 8mm thick, the Tambour Convergence is made from a proprietary hardened stainless steel. The watch’s defining feature is its mirror-polished finish—extending across the case, lugs, and crown—achieved through a patented treatment that also increases its surface hardness by nearly six times, reaching a hardness rating of 1,130 Vickers. This makes it more resistant to surface scratches than ordinary steel. According to LV, the mirror-polished finish also helps minor marks blend into the shiny surface, preserving its appearance over time. In lieu of conventional hands, the Tambour Convergence uses two rotating hand-satin-brushed brass discs with rhodium-plated finishes and black numerals (one for the hours and another for ...

The business incubator is coming to the watch bench with Ateliers Associés, a new venture promising business support, infrastructure, industry know-how, and contacts for independent watchmakers and young brands. The incubator is the brainchild of industry veterans William Massena of Massena LAB and Louis Westphalen-Lemaitre, a former Hodinkee staffer and most recently responsible for brand development and marketing at LVMH's Gérald Genta and Daniel Roth revivals. William Massena Business incubators, which provide capital, office and manufacturing facilities as well as corporate services and guidance to start-ups in return for a stake in the young companies they back, have been around for more than half a century. They have thrived in the technology, specialized manufacturing, and biotech sectors by backing innovative ideas and business plans. There have also been high-profile failures, particularly in the so-called dot.com era of the late 1990s and early 2000s, as a surge of internet startups joined with tech incubators to raise capital only to collapse in short order. Now, as interest in independent watchmakers grows into an increasingly significant part of the watch industry, with scores of young watchmakers seeking to produce their own projects, Massena and Westphalen-Lemaitre are betting the incubator concept can be applied to horology, with hopes of building the next generation of independent watchmaking businesses and brands.

French microbrand Serica has toiled since 2019 to create an aesthetic that makes their watches instantly recognizable—rounded design elements with precise proportions, even wildly varying models like their field watch, diver, and stadium-shaped Parade contain unifying hallmarks: carefully considered dial balance, 1970s-esque styling, and prominent bezel designs all signal a Serica timepiece. Over the past seven years, they’ve continued to refine their watches from a mechanical standpoint, too, introducing complications and added robustness to withstand tool watch duties. The 8315 line of GMT models is perhaps their most function-forward design, first debuting in 2022. Like most Serica watches, it favors a cleanly balanced dial, meaning no date function—ideal for a travel watch, which is the intended use of the 8315, earning it the “Travel Chronometer” name. Now, Serica unveils a slick new colorway for the popular model: Golden Green. The 8315-3 Golden Green doesn’t purport to be a grand deviation from the Travel Chronometer formula. In fact, it bears the same internals and basic design as its line-mates, primarily the Swiss chronometer-certified Soprod C125 automatic movement, which allows for 42 hours of power reserve and 200 meters of water resistance. This movement powers the GMT hand and “caller” GMT function. This gives it a simpler use case than the more complicated local jumping “flyer” GMT seen in watches like the Tudor Black Bay GMT; basicall...

Singapore’s micro-brand watch fair Spring Sprang Sprung (SPRG) returns this November with its largest and most international edition to date. Moving to a larger venue at Glass Dome, the event will bring together 78 exhibitors, up from 22 at its inaugural edition in 2022. New exhibitors and familiar faces Of SPRG’s 78 exhibitors, 40 are returning and 38 are participating for the first time. The newcomers include Christopher Ward and Raymond Weil, adding more established names to a line-up that remains rooted in micro-brands. Catering to this clientele, Japan’s Miyota will exhibit its movement offerings. Returning Singaporean brands include Feynman Timekeepers and Vario, along with strap maker Yi Leather. Four exhibitors will represent Indonesia, while this edition also features the fair’s largest contingent of Chinese watch brands yet, including returning exhibitor Seagull, which, like Miyota, defies the micro-brand classification. As with many watch fairs, the programme includes panel discussions and interactive sessions, with workshops for visitors who would like a more hands-on introduction to watchmaking. Watch week in Singapore This year’s fair coincides with IAMWATCH, the gathering hosted by The Hour Glass dedicated to independent watchmaking, which runs November 12-15. The overlap gives collectors travelling to Singapore the opportunity to visit both, while offering small brands from Singapore and elsewhere in Asia a chance to reach an international audienc...

This week on The Business of Watches, an extended chat with a duo whose business is watch market data. Charles Tian is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of WatchCharts.com, and Hamza Masood is Head of Business Partnerships at the U.S.-based company. Both are longtime technology executives who turned a passion for watches into a business. That venture is WatchCharts, and it gathers and analyzes secondary market watch prices to show demand trends, price movements, and the relative health and desirability of brands and luxury groups in the sector. Its customers include retailers, watch dealers, collectors, and brands. WatchCharts founder and CEO Charles Tian.Photo credit: Brandon Moore With U.S. investment bank Morgan Stanley, WatchCharts uses its data to produce in-depth reports four times a year on the state of the secondary market. The third-quarter report, published in mid-October, shows the fifth straight quarter of overall market gains of more than 1%, suggesting stability and recovery. Still, the growth is slowing and is the weakest since mid 2025. While gains are more widespread among watchmakers, with prices for 28 of 35 brands tracked posting quarter-over-quarter gains, the overall WatchCharts index is still about 28% below its all-time peak, a record hit during the post-pandemic euphoria of April 2022.
