Magnificent Marquetry: Piaget’s Andy Warhol ‘Camouflage’
The Piaget Andy Warhol ‘Camouflage’ reinterprets the artist’s late self-portraits with a marquetry dial assembled from 27 pieces of sodalite, turquoise and gold. Following last year’s Collage edition, it puts Piaget’s expertise in ornamental stones to more ambitious use, translating an easily reproduced printed motif into a painstaking exercise in stone marquetry. Initial thoughts Stone dials have become almost inescapable in recent years, but Piaget was pioneering the format as far back as the 1960s, long before mineral stones became a defining feature of flamboyant 1970s style. The Camouflage continues that legacy with a dial that is much more than a polished slice of stone. Most contemporary stone dials are uniform wafers — their appeal is largely dependent on the colour and natural pattern of the material itself. Stone marquetry takes things up a notch, demanding a deft hand to cut and combine individually shaped pieces into a deliberate composition. It’s one of Piaget’s specialities, demonstrated by last year’s Andy Warhol Collage and now put to good use reinterpreting one of the artist’s final bodies of work. Piaget’s artisans have done an admirable job translating Warhol’s vibrant Camouflage works into sodalite, turquoise and gold — there’s no hiding the craftsmanship. The irregular contours and close-fitting pieces make the expertise unusually apparent, while the contrasting textures give the dial surface more variety than colour alone ...

Spring Sprang Sprung Returns to Singapore
Singapore’s micro-brand watch fair Spring Sprang Sprung (SPRG) returns this November with its largest and most international edition to date. Moving to a larger venue at Glass Dome, the event will bring together 78 exhibitors, up from 22 at its inaugural edition in 2022. New exhibitors and familiar faces Of SPRG’s 78 exhibitors, 40 are returning and 38 are participating for the first time. The newcomers include Christopher Ward and Raymond Weil, adding more established names to a line-up that remains rooted in micro-brands. Catering to this clientele, Japan’s Miyota will exhibit its movement offerings. Returning Singaporean brands include Feynman Timekeepers and Vario, along with strap maker Yi Leather. Four exhibitors will represent Indonesia, while this edition also features the fair’s largest contingent of Chinese watch brands yet, including returning exhibitor Seagull, which, like Miyota, defies the micro-brand classification. As with many watch fairs, the programme includes panel discussions and interactive sessions, with workshops for visitors who would like a more hands-on introduction to watchmaking. Watch week in Singapore This year’s fair coincides with IAMWATCH, the gathering hosted by The Hour Glass dedicated to independent watchmaking, which runs November 12-15. The overlap gives collectors travelling to Singapore the opportunity to visit both, while offering small brands from Singapore and elsewhere in Asia a chance to reach an international audienc...

Moser Introduces a Pair of Limited Editions in their Heritage Collection
If you’re anything like me, when you think of H. Moser the watches that come to mind are colorful, skew toward the avant-garde, and very much in the category of “contemporary.” It’s easy to forget sometimes that Moser traces its origins back to 1828, and there’s been a lot of watchmaking history that has passed through the many references issued under the Moser banner. The sometimes neglected Heritage collection within the Moser catalog just received a pair of updates, and it’s a good reminder that Moser does more than Streamliners and shoe collabs (but we love the shoe collabs). First, let’s look at the Heritage Chronograph White Fumé. Moser tells us this reference was inspired by Moser chronographs from the middle part of the 20th century. It has a classic two register layout with subdials at 9:00 and 3:00, and a tachymeter scale around the dial’s perimeter. The white fumé dial is accented with blue graduations, subdials, and hands, creating great contrast and making the watch feel just a little more at home in 2026, or later (a watch like this would have almost certainly had black printing in the mid 20th century). The case is 42mm in stainless steel, and the watch is powered by Moser’s HMC 220 caliber, which has been outfitted with a chronograph module in this execution. Moser does make their own chronograph caliber (the HMC 907), so it’s noteworthy that they’ve used their workhorse automatic with a module for this release. It’s likely bor...

Photo Report: Milan Watch Week 2026
Geneva won't want to hear me say this, but it's starting to feel like Milan is becoming the unofficial capital of watches lately. Firstly, Rolex chose the city to announce the wildly unexpected Perpetual Padellone in September of this year. Patek Philippe also just concluded the next installment of their two-week-long Watch Art Grand Exhibition held in Palazzo delle Scintille, and Hublot selected Milan to host the launch of their latest release and slight re-issue, Classic Fusion Tributo. Amid all these activations, the city saw even more watch-obsessed people descend for what may be the most buzzy happening of all: Milan Watch Week. Now, let me clear something up before I proceed: there are a lot of domestic watch weeks around the world lately. Off the top of my head, we have New York, London, Dubai, Geneva (some people have started to call the week of Watches & Wonders this), Milan, India, and, more recently, Istanbul. And while the increased presence of shows like these may signal something else happening in our industry, the picture it doesn't fully paint is how different each of these weeks is. Let's take Dubai and Milan. Dubai Watch Week, the first and original Watch Week, is a retail-backed organization run by the Seddiq family and takes two years of planning by a huge team with major brand involvement. Milan Watch Week 2026, held in Palazzo Mezzanotte. Milan Watch Week (MWW) was created by the team behind Italian Watch Spotter, an Italian-based online media company...

G-SHOCK Celebrates Streetwear Culture in a New Collaboration with UNION
I’m not going to pretend like I am particularly savvy about streetwear or fashion brands, but even I know that SoHo in NYC is at the epicenter of that world. UNION had their start in 1989 in the neighborhood, and grew to become one of the most influential stores in counterculture fashion, making it a streetwear and art-fashion touchstone for generations of local New York youth scenes, and the fashion world at large. G-SHOCK has always been an icon of streetwear, with its rugged and affordable timepieces that appeal to a younger, more middle-class audience—as a kid in the 2000s, having a G-SHOCK made you feel instantly cooler than your classmates with a normal Casio—so a collaboration between the two brands makes a lot of sense. G-SHOCK has a history of brash, colorful, and innovative models and a track record of collaborating with musicians, artists, and other fashion marques. With the new DW-5600RBG, developed in partnership with Chris Gibbs, owner of the UNION stores in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Osaka, both brands make their mark on the iconic octagonal design. The DW-5600RGB is based on the DDW-5600, one of G-SHOCK’s most classically-styled models both aesthetically and functionally. It’s the bread-and-butter G-SHOCK with a rectangular LCD display that shows the date in the upper right corner, the day of the week and alarm setting in the upper left, and the time squarely in the center. No nonsense and known for industry-standard resistance to damage, it’s th...

SJX Podcast: In Conversation with Anthony de Haas
On episode 56 of the SJX Podcast, SJX speaks with Anthony de Haas, A. Lange & Söhne’s longtime head of product development, about the thinking behind the watches. The starting point is the new Datograph Perpetual, which takes a familiar model in an unexpected direction with a platinum bracelet and discreet diamond indices. The conversation explores the collaborative watchmaking culture in Glashütte and why every new release should bring something different. Mr de Haas also explains how Lange retains the character of a small manufacture within Richemont — an approach that has earned it the reputation of being “the biggest independent”. Other topics include the growing attention paid to finishing, the work required to give movements a recognisable aesthetic, and why collector enthusiasm won’t necessarily translate into more watches or more bracelets.

Just Because: How To Spend $250 At Windup New York
Windup Watch Fair has become a mainstay of New York Watch Week and one of the biggest gatherings on the city’s watch calendar, bringing thousands of watch enthusiasts together each year. Now in its eleventh edition, the fair continues to grow, with more than 160 brands (including Baltic, Brew, Sinn, and Oris) participating this year. The 2026 edition marked Windup’s third year at Center415 on Fifth Avenue, where the venue once again gave visitors the opportunity to interact with and shop from a mix of independent and established watch brands — with a handful of tech, outdoor gear, and travel brands thrown into the mix (including Ad Patina, a fan-favorite that sells historic print ads from iconic watchmakers). With free admission, Windup offers an accessible way for both longtime collectors and curious newcomers to experience the industry in person, making it no surprise that it's the world's largest public watch fair. This year, we of course wanted to check out the show, but we also decided to add a little competition to the mix. Our Editor-in-Chief, James Stacey, and Deputy Editor, Tim Jeffreys, went head-to-head to see who could make the most of a $250 budget at the fair. With plenty of watches, straps, fun gadgets, and other items to choose from, each had to decide how best to spend their money. Watch the video and let us know in the comments who had the best haul.

Insight: Modern Escapement Developments Part I
Mechanical escapements have long captured the hearts of enthusiasts and the minds of watchmakers tasked with improving them. Escapement development remains a steady leitmotif throughout the horological industry, even though novel escapements are only launched seldomly. But there’s been a flurry of activity recently. Just last year, Rolex unveiled a proprietary silicon escapement and Breguet launched a highly advanced magnetic Swiss lever, revealing a glimpse of the exciting research and development work that’s being done by the industry’s leading industrial powerhouses. The most radical take on the Swiss lever, Breguet’s magnetic constant force escapement. At the other end of the spectrum, we see more and more independent watchmakers going to great lengths to develop new escapements or provide fresh takes on history’s lesser known variants. Smaller players are naturally more resource-constrained, and their results tend to be rooted in traditional manufacturing techniques. That said, clever independents retain the capacity to produce surprising innovations. This two-part series offers a comprehensive look at the major escapement innovations of the last few decades, which range from products of industrial technology to innovations championed by craftsmen. We begin by examining classical escapement designs that would have been familiar to past generations, which have been modernised to suit the demands of the wristwatch. Natural escapement Between the dominanc...

Audemars Piguet Unveils Five New Code 11.59 and Royal Oak Models
Audemars Piguet’s latest releases continue its embrace of the stone dial trend while revisiting one of the brand’s signature complications. The Code 11.59 Selfwinding 38 mm gains a pair of mineral stone dials in gold obsidian and onyx, while the Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie returns in titanium and, for the first time, 18k pink gold. Completing the line-up is the Code 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie, now in 18k white gold with a smoked sapphire dial that reveals the striking mechanics of the cal. 2953. All five watches are variations of established models, with the changes concentrated on materials, colours, and dial finishes. But there is variety within the familiar formats, particularly among the repeaters. Initial thoughts Audemars Piguet’s latest releases represent selections from near the top and bottom of the brand’s model hierarchy, updated in terms of materials and colour. In this sense, none of the new models are particularly surprising, especially considering the brand’s ongoing rollout of watches with natural stone dials. The mineral-and-baguette format of the pink gold 38 mm Code 11.59, for example, mirrors that of two 41 mm models launched previously with malachite and sodalite dials. The trio of Supersonnerie models are likewise variants of existing models, extending both the Royal Oak and Code 11.59’s collections of chiming watches equipped with the brand’s proprietary approach to sound amplification. First unveiled a decade ago, ...

Audemars Piguet’s Code 11.59 Strikes Gold
Audemars Piguet continues its embrace of the stone dial trend with two new versions of the Code 11.59 Selfwinding 38 mm. One pairs yellow gold with gold obsidian, its dark surface enlivened by shimmering mineral inclusions; the other combines pink gold with mirror-polished black onyx and baguette-cut diamond markers. Neither breaks new ground, but both put the Code 11.59’s restrained dial layout to good use, leaving the stone to do most of the work. They retain the compact dimensions of the existing 38 mm model, but dispense with the date thanks to the automatic cal. 5909. Initial thoughts Neither model is particularly surprising given Audemars Piguet’s ongoing rollout of watches with natural stone dials. The mineral-and-baguette format of the pink gold 38 mm Code 11.59, for example, mirrors that of two 41 mm models launched previously with malachite and sodalite dials. The restrained dial layout of the Code 11.59 gives the stone room to stand out, while the 38 mm case suits the dressier character of these variations. The two treatments offer different kinds of appeal. The obsidian model relies on texture and glittering gold flecks, while the onyx version is more formal, with a uniformly black surface that emphasises the baguette-cut diamond markers. At US$57,500 in yellow gold or US$68,500 in pink gold with diamond indices, however, both represent a substantial premium over the standard 38 mm models for what is essentially an aesthetic upgrade. That said, they are pri...

A Sling Bag Roundup
While backpacks have been a staple in the EDC community for decades, their compact and convenient counterpart – the sling bag – has become an increasingly popular alternative. The smaller profile makes them a great option for carrying essentials in a discreet (and stylish) way. My sling bag collection is extensive. Here is a list of some of my favorite options for hands-free hauling. Three bags are ones that I use personally, and the last one is on a wishlist that has a pesky habit of always growing. Topo Designs Mini Quick Pack This is my go-to hiking/outdoors sling bag. At 1.7 liters, it’s big enough to carry easy-access essentials like sunscreen, chapstick, and sunglasses while out exploring. It has carry handles at the top, which is unique for a sling, and is especially handy for travel. You can access it easily if you pack it into a larger bag, and it’ll hang well on external hooks for storage. There’s even a bike light attachment loop for those early morning or late night adventures. The folks at Topo Designs sure understand their market demographics. Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag I’ve bought this bag twice because it’s just that good. It’s a simple, no-frills option that comes in a bunch of different colors that vary based on the season. At 1L, it’s large enough to keep a few items handy, but small enough to blend into any environment. It leans a bit more fashion-forward than some bags, and might not be everyone’s aesthetic. But at a sub-$40 pric...
