Introducing: The new Green Credor Locomotive GCCR997 Joins the Permanent Collection
Last year, to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Credor – the high-end, most classical brand owned by the Seiko Corporation – unveiled a very special watch based on the Locomotive concept and being a faithful recreation of Gerald Genta‘s original 1978 sketch. While Genta is best known for designing the iconic Royal Oak, Nautilus, and Ingenieur, his creative vision extended far beyond Europe. Frequent visits to Japan led to a friendship with Seiko’s Reijiro Hattori, who invited him to design a distinctive timepiece for Credor, part of Seiko’s portfolio. The result was the Locomotive, first introduced to the public in 1979.The 2024 Credor Locomotive limited-edition reissue got plenty of attention upon its release, though much of the discussion centred on its aesthetics rather than the exceptional detailing and finishing it offers. While we have yet to experience the new Credor Locomotive GCCR997 in person, everything we know suggests it is an impeccably crafted

Hands-On - Genus GNS1.2 TD In Damascene Titanium (Specs & Price)
Last year saw the introduction of Genus Watches, a new brand on the independent watchmaking scene with a novel way of displaying the time. While the vast majority of watches display the time in a classic way (with 2 or 3 hands rotating over a round dial), Genus came up with something radical in the form of a horological ‘centipede’ to indicate the hours and tens-of-minutes. This year, this unusual display is back in a new version of the watch, with an equally unusual and impressive material. Let’s take a look at the new Genus GNS1.2 TD In Damascene Titanium.The display & movementNo hand, no dial, no circular motion of the time. Genus has created a display that is entirely novel and fairly complex – to say the least – and, of course, entirely mechanical. Starting with the hours, these are indicated by twelve satellites, one for each hour, rotating around the periphery of the watch. These indices orient themselves in the reading direction as they get clo

Last but not least, of the four pilot watch ‘teasers’ that IWC has released ahead of the SIHH 2019, is this well-proportioned, vintage-inspired, bronze-cased, no-nonsense chronograph upgraded with a manufacture movement. All of that might sound like music to the ears of many collectors. At least, it does to us. Meet the?IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Spitfire Bronze ref.?IW387902.Earlier this year, IWC introduced the?Pilot's Watch Chronograph IW377724, a nice, slightly vintage-inspired piece bringing back some of the design elements found on the Mark II and the 1990s ref. 3706 – the simple Flieger Chronograph, without the rattrapante function. Basically, this watch was the modern iteration of the model that relaunched pilot’s watches at IWC. Today, IWC applies a similar concept to the?Pilot's Watch Chronograph Spitfire… and more!

H. Moser & Cie. Heritage Bucherer Blue Editions (Specs & Price)
Bucherer certainly has some impact on brands and is powerful enough to have them creating some purpose-designed watches, exclusive to its stores. These watches are named the “Bucherer Blue Editions” and many watch brands already participated (Tudor, IWC, Blancpain and?more). All of them share a unique colour for the dial; blue. While H. Moser already participated in this concept, this time the brand decided to go in a different direction. Not only these 2 new “Moser x?Bucherer Blue Editions” aren’t blue (at least for?their dials) but Moser also introduces a brand new watch, totally different from the brand’s previous creations; the?Heritage – a surprising retro-styled pilot’s watch.The Moser Endeavour Diamonds Bucherer Blue EditionsBefore we move to the watch that will mostly draw your attention, it is to be noted that H. Moser & Cie. has created another piece for Bucherer, a ladies-oriented version of the?Endeavour, with a 38mm stain
