Introducing: AP Unveils A Coloured & Lumed Forged Carbon Case for the ROC Split-Seconds
With its ultra-contemporary design, the Royal Oak Concept collection has always been a vessel for innovation at AP, and that since its creation in 2002. First with a cobalt-based super-alloy (Alacrite 602), the Audemars Piguet ROC collection has used some of the brand’s most complex movements, daring designs or advanced materials. Now, it’s time for AP to premiere its latest innovation in terms of materials. Following the Chroma Ceramic concept and a camouflage gold alloy known as chroma gold, here’s Chroma Forged Technology (CFT), a brand-new coloured forged carbon with luminescent pigments. And it’s featured in a new version of the impressive Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT.?It’s been eight years since AP hasn’t unveiled a watch in forged carbon.

Introducing: The New Onyx Edition of the MB&F LM Flying T
MB&F undertook its maiden voyage into the galaxy of women’s watches with the launch of its Legacy Machine Flying T in 2019. After 14 years of masterminding complex watches for men, Max Busser’s Legacy Machine Flying T flaunted all the attributes associated with MB&F watches but in a more feminine format – or even a very feminine format when teaming up with Bulgari. For 2024, the watch shifts gear and returns in more unisex attire with a sleek black onyx dial plate and an 18k yellow gold case without diamonds.The latest Legacy Machine Flying T could be classified as the black-tie version of this model. With no diamonds highlighting the case, the model is closer in spirit to the non-diamond-set Flying T Red Gold of 2020 with its guilloche dial plate. Considering that many of MB&F’s watches are too large for men with smaller wrists, the more restrained dimensions and toned-down styling of the Flying T make it a viable option for both sexes. A

Introducing The New Ulysse Nardin Freak One (Live Pics & Price)
The Freak, the brainchild of the late Ulysse Nardin owner Rolf Schnyder and genius watchmaker Ludwig Oechslin, has been with us for 22 years. The first Freak was packed with innovative ideas that would transform the conservative ways of watchmaking, changing perceptions. Since 2001 the watch with no crown to wind and time set, no conventional hands to point hours and minutes and no dial per common designation have appeared in several variants, yet looking at the timeline, many would agree that the new 2023 edition, the Freak ONE, could be the prettiest.The new Ulysse Nardin Freak ONE celebrates the previous, with many features popping up with just a glance. Still, it is a tribute to the first Ulysse Nardin Freak, highlighting the avant-garde design and technology of one of the most forward-thinking creations of this century so far.

First Look: Union Glashutte Averin Chronograph
Back in 2008, Union Glashutte introduced the square-cased Averin. This bold chronograph watch looked quite different from most, thanks to a unique display for the date. A central three-handed pointer followed a three-line scale. Different, unique and quite fun for sure! Now though, the brand has decided to simplify things a little and morph the Averin into a racing-inspired two-register chronograph. Still following the design codes of the original, the new style highlights the square shapes the collection is known for. And yes, before you bring out your pitchforks, we will address the obvious at the end of the article.The previous Averin Chronograph and its unique date indication.Union Glashutte’s Averin collection has always relied on the sort of rounded square shape for its case, and that tradition is upheld here as well. The size comes down to 41mm by 41mm, with a height of 15.35mm from top to bottom. The case is finished with brushed and polished accents or black DLC-coated f
