Building on nearly two centuries of excellence in Swiss watchmaking, Longines unveils an extensively redesigned HydroConquest collection that blends contemporary aesthetics with proven performance. Available in 39-mm and 42-mm sizes, the range features four new dial variations and five striking ceramic bezel colours, complemented by innovative bracelets, including a newly introduced Milanese mesh version. This new generation embraces bold refinement for every pursuit. The collection debuts with a compelling campaign starring Longines Ambassador of Elegance Henry Cavill, filmed on the dramatic shores of Tenerife, where the interplay of land and sea captures the very essence of the HydroConquest.

Contemporary and refined, the smallest BR-05 becomes precious with the BR-05 Blue Diamond Eagle 36MM, asserting a femininity that is both strong in character, symbolic, and dreamlike. Playing with contrasts, the latest addition to the BR-05 collection combines the geometric rigor of a square case with the delicacy of a round, jewellery-inspired dial recreating the Eagle constellation. Set against an aventurine sky, seven diamonds reproduce the exact position of each of the stars that trace the majestic silhouette of the eagle soaring across our summer nights.

Created at the height of the jet age, a period of rapid aeronautical innovation, the Concorde redefined what was possible in the sky, cutting trans-Atlantic flight times in half at twice the speed of sound and lifting passengers high enough to glimpse the curve of the Earth. Nicknamed “the White Bird” for its distinctive shape, the Concorde flew higher and faster than any commercial aircraft before or since. Cruising at 60,000 feet, it offered its roughly 100 passengers a rare view of the stratosphere’s deep blue. The supersonic aircraft was a symbol of a time when the world dreamed bigger.
That notion returns in the new Navitimer Tribute to Concorde. Breitling’s iconic pilot’s chronograph, originally created as a tool for civil aviation, meets one of the sky’s most daring achievements. The result merges two: the watch born during the golden age of air travel, and the aircraft that pushed commercial flight into the future. A modern evolution of Breitling’s icon, it is designed with the Navitimer’s classic hallmarks and charged with the energy of supersonic travel.

Visible from the Shinshu Watch Studio, home to all Grand Seiko quartz watches, the Hotaka mountain range remains blanketed by snow for several months each winter. Fierce winds sculpt the alpine snow into intricate patterns, inspiring the distinctive dial design. The dial pattern of the SBGX361 is inspired by images of wind-swept snow reflecting the blue sky on a clear, crisp day.
The watch is presented in a 33mm x 9.1mm case, the slimmest and smallest in diameter of any Grand Seiko 9F creation to date, made possible by the new Caliber 9F51.

With its latest creation, the Glashütte Original manufactory is reaching for the skies. The new Serenade Luna combines precision mechanics and intricate craftsmanship with feminine form and exquisite materials. Its mother-of-pearl dial in “Skyline Blue” transforms in colour as the light dances off it; an effect reminiscent of mirrored high-rise facades reflecting the colour of passing clouds. This celestial presence is very fitting of a timepiece for which there is seemingly no limit. Design and technology, tradition and modernity merge to create the finest watchmaking art that proves day in, day out, hour after hour: Anything is possible.
