Micromilspec Celebrates Six Years with Colorful Dualtimers Launch

Micromilspec is celebrating its sixth anniversary with style by launching three vibrant new versions of their popular Dualtimer model. But don’t expect an “anniversary edition” or any flashy limited releases. These new watches are all about balance and color – embodying the brand’s fiercely independent spirit.

Available in Perfect Blue, Perfect Green, and Perfect Sand, each of these colorful Dualtimers is limited to a modest production of 25 pieces per year and starts at a cool €1,670. The brand has pledged five years to crafting custom professional watches, dipping its toes into civilian watches just last year. Out of the 40 bespoke pieces created for specialist units, a whopping 38 sported black dials. Clearly, it was time for a splash of color, and these three lively hues do just that while ensuring the brand’s famed functionality remains intact!

Micromilspec’s founder and CEO, Henrik Rye, decided against the traditional five-year mark edition and instead opted to celebrate year six with a fresh burst of color. Why now? Well, it’s all about staying unique and adding a touch of humor to doing things differently. The Pilot Collection, launched last year, swiftly became a bestseller, and these bold new colors are the brand’s way of marking that success.

Underneath the eye-catching dial, the Dualtimer remains a reliable workhorse, powered by the SW330-2 automatic movement, offering dual time zone functionality. Perfectly legible in all lighting conditions, thanks to the Super-LumiNova X1 tones on the dial, hour, minute hands, and GMT hand. Featuring a choice of stainless steel, rubber, or leather straps, these watches can effortlessly adapt from the cockpit to the office and beyond.

Whether you prefer the classic white silver-plated with traditionally blued hands, a warmer gold-hand variation, or the distinctive deep ruthenium with gold hands, each design screams elegance. Even the NOMOS CEO, Uwe Ahrendt, assures that these aren’t just show-off pieces but valuables meant for a lifetime.

Inside beats the heart of precision, the DUW 3001 caliber. This automatic movement is just 3.2 millimeters thick but packs a punch with features like a bidirectional rotor and a 43-hour power reserve. Plus, it boasts the NOMOS swing system, ensuring that the timepiece runs with incredible precision. Through the sapphire crystal back, you get a peek into the finely crafted mechanism – it’s like a VIP pass to a mini mechanical concert on your wrist.

For those who crave tradition, the Ludwig Gold and Ludwig Gold Doré models feature Roman numerals and railroad track minute scales. The hand-wound NOMOS DUW 4001 caliber inside promises reliability and precision. And naturally, all this elegance is responsibly sourced – courtesy of the Responsible Jewellery Council Chain of Custody.

Czapek & Cie Rings in 10th Anniversary with Time Jumper Magic

Czapek & Cie, rising like a horological phoenix, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a horological masterpiece – the Time Jumper, powered by the new Calibre 10. This model doesn’t just mark time; it celebrates it in style.

The Time Jumper, one of four models celebrating this milestone, draws inspiration from the pocket watches created by Czapek’s grand figurehead, François Czapek. But this isn’t your granddad’s pocket watch. No, this watch puts on a suit and tie, and isn’t afraid to get a little playful.

At its heart is the jumping hour complication, spinning 24-hour magic on two discs – a never-before-seen spectacle, thanks to its patent-pending mechanism. Add in trailing minutes on a peripheral ring and you’ve got a showstopper.

Now, flip over the half-hunter cover to reveal the pièce de résistance – a stunning three-dimensional guilloché pattern that plays like an optical illusion of a black hole. The event horizon takes a loupe form, revealing the open-worked complication for your viewing pleasure.

This limited-edition beauty is available in both stainless steel and 3N gold. It’s making its gala debut on November 12 in Geneva, and for the fancy-footed, it awaits at the Dubai Watch Week as well.

So, here’s the bottom line – if you’re into horological art with a sprinkle of modern mischief, this could just be your ticket to timelessness. Happy birthday, Czapek!

ArtyA Unveils Two Exclusive Models for Dubai Watch Week

ArtyA is treating us to a dazzling display of Swiss craftsmanship with the unveiling of two exclusive models for the Dubai Watch Week 2025. These are no ordinary tickers – they come with a quadricolored sapphire bezel and enough uniqueness to make any collector’s heart race!

But let’s not forget the limited edition. Just ten pieces – count ’em, ten – are crafted with emerald green sapphire. This isn’t just any green; it’s got the same chemistry as emeralds, but with the strength of sapphire. It’s decked out with the UAE flag on its aventurine dial, adding a patriotic zing that doubles as a mini work of art.

ArtyA’s done some serious innovation since their bicolor NanoSapphire days. Now they’re on a new level with a world-first quadricolored NanoSapphire bezel. That’s code for they’ve nailed down the art of sapphire in four glorious colors. Toss in a black sapphire crystal case and you’ve got a watch that’s as stylish as it is sturdy.

Both models are powered by an exclusive automatic movement from Manufacture La Joux-Perret, known for its precision and reliability. With a 68-hour power reserve and exclusive in-house finishing, these watches ensure your time is always right (even if your math isn’t).

For those fortunate enough to snag one, the unique quadricolour piece comes with a hefty price tag of CHF 79,900, while the emerald green limited edition is priced at CHF 49,900. It’s a hefty chunk of change, but consider it an investment in timeless style. And as they say, time waits for no one – unless, of course, you have one of these bad boys on your wrist.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Unveils New Rendez-Vous Night & Day and Moon

Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled a fresh take on their iconic Rendez-Vous collection with the introduction of the Rendez-Vous Night & Day and Rendez-Vous Moon models. With 64 subtle changes to modernize the pieces while retaining their original charm, these updates show that even the tiniest details make a big splash.

Initially introduced in 2012, the Rendez-Vous collection quickly proved that watches could be both beautiful and packed with technical prowess. Back then, in an era dominated by quartz, Jaeger-LeCoultre threw down the gauntlet, offering women mechanical beauties instead. Now in 2025, they’ve decided it’s time for a little makeover.

These new models offer multiple variations, including two complications, two case metals, and a total of nine choices altogether. Not to mention, the new bracelet design features over two hundred intricate parts and an easy interchange feature resembling a Velcro shoe – but far classier.

The revamped Rendez-Vous Night & Day and Moon models eschew bold alterations in favor of subtle enhancements that come together for a refreshing aesthetic. For instance, if you squint really hard, you might notice the slightly larger diamonds on the steel models. And yes, your eyes aren’t playing tricks – the diamond-set bezels are indeed capturing more light than ever before.

Both of these watches now boast enhanced self-winding movements, with an increased power reserve from 38 hours to a whopping 70 hours. That’s like going from a toddler’s nap to a full night’s sleep. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t want a watch that won’t beg for a wind-up halfway through Sunday brunch?

All things considered, these updates continue the brand’s tradition of crafting watches that aren’t just timekeepers but little pieces of wrist artistry. The new Rendez-Vous models remain testaments to femininity – capturing attention with grace and elegance worthy of a double-take.
