Bold colours have firmly established their place in high horology, with trends evolving nearly as swiftly as in fashion. Among these, a rich cherry red remains refreshingly unique – perhaps why Voutilainen’s atelier chose it to set apart the latest edition of the KV20i Reversed with its remarkable inverted movement. This cherry-themed model contrasts with the blue KV20i Reversed unveiled earlier this year and is now featuring the intricate hand-guilloché detailing that has become a Voutilainen hallmark and was offered as an option at launch. We’re happy to introduce this exquisite new version to you. The technical specifications and overall…

Breitling has shown the U.S.A. markets a lot of love in recent months, first representing every NFL team on the dials of 32 special-edition Chronomats, and now with a pair of limited-edition Chronomats in unique configurations available exclusively to North American consumers. The revitalized Chronomat collection hosts a myriad of sizes, complications, and materials all within the familiar design language that dates back to the 1940s model’s first major revamp in the 1980s. These new limited editions, both hailing from the robustly sporty Super Chronomat series, present a unique dial, made of mother-of-pearl, that runs against expectations and assumptions thanks…

Elka Watches is a relatively young brand built on a historical, defunct Dutch name, which was relaunched a couple of years ago by Hakim El Kadiri. Despite having no connection with the defunct Amsterdam brand, he wanted to pay tribute to the old Dutch brand and bring back the flair of the 1960s with modernised specifications. But today, a somewhat different idea has surfaced. Expanding his horizons, Hakim launches Loch Lat, a meticulously crafted single malt whisky and a special edition of his minimalist watch with an amber-toned dial to match.  This new venture, born out of a passion for…

Welcome to the second installment of our new series, Fratello Watch List! Thomas kicked off this short series of articles exposing some of our writers’ watch hit lists. We all have a (not-so-)little list of references we plan on owning or maybe just dream of acquiring someday, don’t we? Today, it’s my turn to expose some of my (neo-)vintage wishes, guilty pleasures, and other random references on my Chrono24 Notepad. Similar to Thomas, I’m not actively hunting for a new watch at the moment. But that’s not because, like him, I’m starting a watch brand. I guess it has to…

This latest “Blue” version of the Tudor Black Bay Chrono could be one of the last iterations of this timepiece model before Tudor updates this collection. I have long anticipated Tudor to develop a new chronograph model to offer a lower-priced alternative to the mega-popular Rolex Daytona (which is thinner and smaller). The Black Bay Chrono was never intended to be an analog to the Daytona, as its focus was offering a chronograph version of the Black Bay retro diver’s-style watch. It may have retro looks but also has modern sizing proportions. Tudor has had comparatively few chronograph models during…
