You won’t find full specs here. You will find intent, posture, poetry. These are horological classifieds for new releases from independents — announcements, invitations, provocations — interpreted for the collector’s subconscious.
MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD
Swatch × OMEGA — Winter 2025, unique snowflake moons
I glitter like fresh snowfall,
pretend bioceramic is couture,
and hide a laser-cut flocon in my lunar smile.
Snoopy watches from nine o’clock.
If you enjoy seasonal drama, I’m yours until the thaw.
THE TIME JUMPER Czapek & Cie — 100-piece steel edition
I hide behind guilloché,
pretending mystery suits me.
My hours jump in 24-step circles—
a flying-saucer case doing its best impression of restraint.
Choose me if you like timepieces that flirt, then reveal everything.
ITALIAN ALPS – MODELLO UNO UNIMATIC — Alpine Sky / Glacier White, 300 pieces
I glow a little too proudly—
three-dimensional and very aware of it.
My anti-shock shell keeps me composed on rough trails.
Deer leather softens my otherwise stoic charm.
Choose me if you prefer altitude-ready companions with a luminous ego.
HM11 ART DECO
MB&F — 20 pieces for the 20th anniversary
I rotate my entire house
just to wind myself—
architectural drama is my love language.
Sunbeams, skyscrapers, flying tourbillon at the centre.
Choose me if you prefer your dates multi-roomed and unreasonable.
U-65 AUTOMATIC U-BOAT — Hyper-curved, 44 mm
I bend more than I should— a curve flirting with physics. My Miyota skeleton beats loudly under this ultra-domed glass. Movable lugs keep me loyal to every wrist. Choose me if you like your rebels ergonomic and a little luminous.
UR-FREAK URWERK × Ulysse Nardin — 100 pieces
I rotate my whole self just to say the hour— a wandering satellite with commitment issues. Silicon beats at my center, louder than my strap’s electric yellow. Pick me if you like your complications slightly unhinged but impeccably engineered.
CHRONOMÈTRE FB 3SPC.3–4 Ferdinand Berthoud — Platinum, 3-piece Seddiqi Edition
I shine a little too much— platinum does that to a chronometer. My cylindrical spring performs at nine o’clock like it knows it won a prize. Choose me if you enjoy rare creatures pretending humility.
Furlan Marri × CLE — Riyadh, 750 pieces
I wear dunes in lacquer, pretend my mechaquartz heart is mysterious, and glow politely beneath the desert sun. My numerals speak another heritage. Swipe right if you enjoy stories disguised as chronographs.
Inverto Titanium
Bernhard Lederer — 39 mm, limited production
I show everything—
remontoirs, escapements, your patience.
Every fifteen seconds I breathe on schedule.
Titanium keeps me lighter than my ego.
Swipe right if you admire mechanisms that refuse modesty.
