THE CLASSIFIEDS (BUT NOT REALLY)
Volume 1 · June 21 - July 12, 2025
You will not find full specs here. You will find intent, posture, subtext. These are horological classifieds for new releases from independents — announcements, invitations, provocations — interpreted for the collector’s subconscious.
Bimbu Patrium
Geneva. Two brothers. Manual-wind.
"Wants you to touch the stone at 6 o'clock. Insists its ETA heart beats with 1971 soul in titanium skin. Won't apologize for making luxury feel like Sunday dinner with famiglia."
Sơn Mài - Year of the Sssnake
AWAKE x The Dial Artist. Vietnam—Scotland. 50 pieces. €2,100.
"Ssspeaks in forked tongues and lacquer dreams. Fifteen hours of Vietnamese craft meets Scottish rebellion. Sheds its indexes like old skin. Glows mysteriously after dark because sssnakes don't sleep."
SpaceOne WorldTimer
Paris. €2,700. 600 pieces, first batch.
"Killed the hands. Replaced them with spinning discs that actually make sense. Titanium spaceship for your wrist. Acts like it's from 2035 but runs on Swiss time."
L.U.C Qualité Fleurier 20th Anniversary Edition
Chopard. Fleurier. 20 pieces. Ethical gold.
"Remembers when certification actually meant something. Sector dial like 1950s aristocracy, movement torture-tested for three weeks. Only the truly initiated will understand why this matters."
Time Eater Tourbillon
Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin. CHF 19,900. Green (78) or Blue (28).
"Still hungry. Now with a mechanical red tongue that spins every 60 seconds. One eye. Wide grin. 100-hour bite. Two mad scientists off the leash making monsters, not watches."
Oris Aquis Date "Taste of Summer" 36.50mm
Hölstein. CHF 2,400. Alpine nostalgia.
"Gradient sunrise dial that remembers when you first felt summer coming after a long winter. Wears like a secret between your wrist and the season. Dive watch that's never seen saltwater but knows what warmth feels like."
Bremont Supermarine 300M Henley Royal Regatta
Henley-on-Thames. 50 pieces. Official timing partner privilege.
"Knows the difference between watching from the enclosures and earning your blazer. Blue bezel like regatta flags, white dial clean as morning mist on the Thames. Built for those who understand that some traditions are worth keeping time for."
YEMA Yachtingraff x seconde/seconde/
Morteau. €449. Vandalized heritage.
"Regatta timer that got mugged by a street artist and liked it. Spray-can pushers, graffiti dial, caseback confession in French. Counts down to chaos or yacht races — your choice. La croisière, ma muse indeed."
NOMOS Ahoi neomatik 38 date White
Glashütte. DUW 6101. Tennis whites.
"Knows the difference between smart casual and trying too hard. White dial like fresh linens, red seconds hand like a dropped strawberry at Wimbledon. Goes with everything because it doesn't need to prove anything to anyone."
Venezianico Arsenale Platino
Venice. 40mm. Platinum-galvanized dial.
"Understands the difference between precious and pretentious. Dial worked by Venetian artisans with tumbled platinum treatment — each piece unrepeatable like fingerprints. Wears the weight of history without trying to impress your Instagram followers."
Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Power Control - 2025 Race Edition
Brescia>Roma>Brescia. 250 pieces. Lucent Steel™.
"Salmon dial like hand-beaten aluminum from a '50s Alfa Romeo. Fuel gauge for your movement because even gentlemen drivers need to know when to pit. Celebrates 37 years of someone actually driving the same race every single time."
H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Spiced Aqua Trio
Neuhausen am Rheinfall. Steel. Tropical cocktail colors.
"Refuses to apologize for existing in turquoise and orange. Three movements, one chromatic rebellion against horological beige. Glows like neon at dusk because discretion is overrated. Makes heads turn faster than its tourbillon."
DC7 Blue Hawk
David Candaux, Le Solliat. 8 pieces. Titanium paradox.
"Wants you to believe asymmetry is accident. Isn't. The 30° tourbillon tilts like a predator's gaze while the magic crown hides at six like a secret handshake. Built for wrists that understand eight is smaller than infinity."
