If last week’s launches were about quiet technical upgrades, this week turned the dial towards bold statements — whether through colour, precious metals, or pure storytelling. From Hermès’ zesty chronograph to a Jaipur-inspired elephant ring-watch and an eye-catching limited edition Mille, the drops remind us that watchmaking’s playground is bigger than ever.
Richard Mille RM 63-02 Limited Edition
Richard Mille has revived one of its most ingenious travel watches in a new guise: the RM 63-02 limited edition. The 47mm round case now blends pink-white red gold with titanium for a 1/100 limited edition, swapping out the original 2015 titanium-and-blue aesthetic for something warmer and more refined. Its calling card remains the bezel-integrated world time complication — rotate to align a city at 12 o’clock, and the movement simultaneously adjusts the local time and 23 other time zones. A graduated 24-hour flange completes the display, making this as much a practical globetrotter’s tool as a showcase of Richard Mille’s case–movement integration.
Hermès H08 Chronograph “Jaune de Naples”
Hermès injects fluorescent punch into its H08 line with the Jaune de Naples. The 44mm carbon-composite case, graphene-coated and topped with a ceramic bezel, plays host to the H1837 chronograph calibre. But it’s that blazing Naples yellow across the dial and strap that steals the show — unapologetically fashion-forward.
Hublot MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash
Daniel Arsham’s debut watch with Hublot looks like time frozen mid-splash. The MP-17’s frosted sapphire bezel and liquid dial cut-outs house the manual Meca-10 movement with a 10-day reserve. Polarising? Yes. Collectible? Without doubt.
Kurono Tokyo Grand Jubilee Calendar
For Hajime Asaoka’s 60th, Kurono unveiled the Grand Jubilee — a salmon guilloché dial dotted with onyx cabochons, housed in a refined case. It’s a lush departure from the brand’s earlier minimalism, and proof that Kurono is now playing in bigger complication territory.
Cartier Santos Titanium & Lumed Black Dial
Cartier finally delivered two long-expected Santos variants: a sandblasted titanium case and a steel model with a full-lumed black dial. Still in the 39.8mm “large” format, both bring the design further into tool-watch terrain while retaining the collection’s signature elegance.
Longines Ultra-Chron Classic
The Ultra-Chron returns in 37mm and 40mm, slim, sharp, and very 1967. Think razor lugs, silver sunburst dials, and faceted indices — all wrapped around Longines’ high-beat calibre. A proper daily-wearer with a high-frequency heart .
TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 + New Balance
TAG’s Connected finally gets a full reboot. Slimmer cases, a proprietary OS, dual-band GPS, and health tracking put it on firmer footing as a performance watch. A collab with New Balance throws in matching trainers, underscoring its hybrid appeal .
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Extreme Sport
At the other end of the TAG spectrum: a 44mm titanium Carrera tourbillon with an 18k yellow-gold tachymeter bezel. Limited to 75 pieces, each caseback marks a season of F1 history from 1950 to 2025. Loud and celebratory — as an anniversary Carrera should be .
NOMOS Club Sport Worldtimer Limited Edition
NOMOS edges further into complications with a Club Sport Worldtimer. Clean lines meet travel-ready function, wrapped in a sportier case than their usual Tangente or Orion. Details are lean, but this one could be a sleeper hit .
Swatch NEON Collection
Six neon blasts from the past — including reworks of the Flumotions, Signal Flag, and Sepia — arrive super-sized and drenched in colour. With SwatchPAY! built in, they’re shamelessly nostalgic but equally at home on Gen Z wrists .
Omega Speedmaster Dark & Grey Side of the Moon (2025 Evolution)
Omega has retooled its ceramic Speedmasters: slimmer 44.25mm cases, two-layer ceramic dials, Liquidmetal bezels, and new Co-Axial Master Chronometers. It’s the most significant refresh since 2013, proving the “Dark Side” line is here to stay .
Jaipur Watch Company Elephant Ring-Watch
From Jaipur’s ateliers, Gaurav Mehta unveils an elephant-motif ring-watch in 18k gold, green enamel, and polki diamonds. With a dial hidden beneath the sculpted elephant head, it’s more jewel than tool — priced at ~₹11 lakh, aimed squarely at collectors of wearable art.
Bangalore Watch Company Apogee “Visitor”
BWC’s Apogee Visitor takes its cue from 2017’s interstellar object ‘Oumuamua. A black meteorite dial sits in a Cerasteel case with a Swiss automatic inside. At ₹2.16 lakh, it’s an interstellar fragment you can strap on daily .
Breitling Lady Premier
Breitling reimagines its 1940s Premier Fantaisies with Lady Premier: 36mm automatics and 32mm SuperQuartz references in ombré dials, chevron bracelets, and diamond cascades. Lab-grown diamonds and responsibly sourced gold make it as 2025 as it is retro .
Angelus x Massena LAB Chronographe Télémètre
And finally, a love letter to vintage chronographs: the Angelus x Massena LAB Chronographe Télémètre. Just 10 pieces, in 37mm yellow gold, with a black domed dial and single-pusher Calibre A5000. Neo-vintage done with real conviction. From Jaipur ateliers to interstellar meteorites, this week’s crop underscores the extremes of watchmaking’s current moment: unapologetically loud at one end, deeply archival at the other. The only constant? A refusal to be boring.
