You won’t 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.
Sphere Series 3
Hautlence. Neuhausen am Rheinfall. 28 pieces.
Purple titanium sphere rotates on three axes—four conical gears orchestrate a hypnotic ballet inclined at 21 degrees. Compact rectangular case hides manual-wound calibre A82 with 72-hour reserve. Retrograde minute hand snaps back to zero like a controlled heartbeat. Skeletonized dial makes time float. Kinetic sculpture seeks wrist that appreciates architectural obsession.
MT1: Chronomètre Tourbillon 7 Jours
Kross Studio. Geneva. CHF 68,000.
No lugs, no visible crown—just a 44mm titanium disc hiding seven days of power. Flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock beats beneath hand-chamfered bridges. Crown lives on the caseback like a secret. Red indicator appears when you adjust time, then vanishes. “Raindrop” motif mimics ripples on still water. Contemporary haute horlogerie for those who prefer whispers.
Two Decades of Madness
MB&F. Geneva. 20 years. 22 calibres. 9 GPHG awards.
Independent watchmaker seeks those who understand that creativity is a child who survived. Twenty years of blurring timekeeping and kinetic art—from four-barrel engines to triple-axis mechanisms. Built machines the industry had never seen. Friends credited like film credits. Not just watches—rockets, jellyfish clocks, music boxes. Madness continues.
Terra Nova
Bremont. London.
Military pocket watch DNA meets 904L steel cushion case. Oversized crown built for gloved hands. Block SuperLumiNova numerals glow like 3D sculptures in darkness. Globe-engraved caseback charts the world. Available in 38mm, 40.5mm with compass bezel, or 42.5mm chronograph. Field watch provenance reinterpreted for land explorers who refuse shortcuts.
Rallygraf Alpine Cup Series
YEMA. France. Est. 1948.
Official timekeeper seeks speed enthusiast. Seiko VK64 mecha-quartz heart beats for Alpine Cup Series racing heritage. Internal tachymeter chapter ring tracks your obsessions. Steel bracelet evokes raw vintage motorsport—before sponsors sanitized danger. Two special editions available. French racing blood, no apologies.
S1 Seddiqi 75th Anniversary Bespoke Edition
HYT. Neuchâtel. 3 unique pieces. CHF 64,000–66,000.
Hydromechanical liquid flows through 0.8mm borosilicate capillary—time told by colored fluid boundary called meniscus. Three colors for 75 years: Sand for Arabian heritage, Green for oases and prosperity, Blue for Arabian Gulf futures. Indian numerals, “7S” engraved crowns, aerospace bellows thinner than human hair. Each numbered 1 of 1. Exclusively Ahmed Seddiqi.
Diver [AIR] Seddiqi 75th Anniversary Edition
Ulysse Nardin × Ahmed Seddiqi. Dubai. 30 pieces. 52 grams total.
Skeletonized confession wrapped in recycled fishing nets and aerospace carbon. Blue as Gulf water at depth. Lighter than regret. Celebrates three-quarters of a century by erasing everything inessential. Floats on wrist like a rumor. Won’t apologize for showing its gears.
Eclipse II
Beda’a. Doha–Geneva. 100 pieces annually. 4,000 CHF.
Figure-eight face split between aventurine stars and desert sand textures. Crown lives at six o’clock because symmetry matters more than tradition here. Young Qatari house with a 27-year-old at the helm, Dubois Dépraz module tucked inside, first chapter vanished in three hours. Wants to prove the Gulf makes watches, not just buys them.
The Mim0sa
Studio Underd0g. Assembled in Great Britain. 38mm.
Morning-after watch disguised as brunch. Liquid sapphire disc machined so slowly the CNC gives up half the time. Seven lume layers stacked underneath like hangover remedies. Dial prints float and cast shadows that move when you do—paranoid or enchanted, your call. Manual wind because you need something to do with your hands. Zero where the ‘o’ should be. Cheeky British assembly.
