When Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin Tribute to 1931, at the SIHH 2011, it was an instant hit. The legendary and iconic Reverso might just have found its perfect dimensions, with the ultra-thin case that is just 7.2 mm in height.

The Garrick S5 continues the brand's devotion to craftsmanship
Long before Switzerland became the epicentre of traditional watchmaking, the Brits were leading the industry basically. Horological greats such as John Arnold, Robert Hooke, John Harrison, Thomas Mudge, and others have all contributed to the craft within the United Kingdom, and beyond. Each of these men was responsible for moving the watchmaking forward, until the downfall of the industry in the UK in the early 1900s. Today, UK-based independent watchmaker Garrick?aims to reinstate British watchmaking tradition in the best possible way it can, by producing very desirable and carefully crafted pieces with an eye for traditional craftsmanship. What started with relatively affordable collections has moved into more complex collections. The newest member of the family is the aptly named Garrick S5, following the success of the previous four S-designated collections.Garrick has morphed itself into a leading company in restoring the art of British watchmaking to the level it once was.

Louis Moinet SpaceWalker & Skylink - Celebrating Russian Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov - Monochrome Watches
The names of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Yuri Gagarin are familiar to us all, men whose endeavours in outer space earned them terrestrial fame as legends – and even inspired watch collections. But there are other pioneers of space whose names are less known and deserve credit for their adventures, like Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov. Louis Moinet, the brand whose founder is credited with inventing the chronograph, bring us two watches celebrating two epic exploits in Alexei Leonov’s career: the Louis Moinet SpaceWalker & Skylink.The final frontier, the great unknown, is a recurring theme for Louis Moinet and watches with dials made from meteorite shrapnel, or decorated with planets, artistic nebula and other extra-terrestrial motifs are standard fare at this brand. It is fitting since Louis Moinet, the founder, was a revered astronomer in his own right. Seeking to pay tribute to Alexei Leonov, Louis Moinet has created two very special watches to commemorate two of

the Ulysse Nardin Freak X Aventurine (Specs & Price)
Ulysse Nardin's Freak watch of 2001 was a poster child for horological innovation. With its tiered construction, its spectacular 7-day flying carrousel tourbillon revolving on its axis on the dial and the distinction of being the first watch to incorporate silicium (silicon) technology, it gained immediate cult status. After countless iterations, Ulysse Nardin followed up with the Freak X in 2019, an entry-level watch for fans of the legendary Freak. Fitted with a baguette-shaped flying carrousel openworked movement, the Freak X retained the spirit of the spectacle of the first Freak but was fitted with a winding crown and offered at a more affordable price. During Watches & Wonders 2022, the model reappears with a sparkling blue aventurine background, as the Ulysse Nardin Freak X Aventurine.sparkling watersLike the sparkling waters a sailor might observe during a full Moon at sea, the aventurine glass on the dial references Ulysse Nardin's longstanding nautical ties.
