The Swatch Group’s Mido has been aggressive as of late, releasing a slew of thoughtful and fairly affordable watches – watches like the Multifort Chronometer and the Commander Big Date. That’s good news for all of us because god knows we need more affordable watches to get more people excited about the hobby. Just in time for the holidays, Mido has just announced a new dive watch with a lot of features that will get fans of dive watches excited. Meet the new Mido Ocean Star Diver 600.

The Swiss Seiko Presage collection was once overlooked amongst the mania surrounding Grand Seiko and the brand’s more tool-y watches but to those in the know, this collection has developed into a great selection of watches with increasing levels of finishing, workmanship, and prices. Seiko recently released the newest piece to their enamel collection, the Seiko Presage Urushi Byakudan-Nuri Limited Edition watch. This is not the first moon-inspired piece in the Presage Collection, if you’ll recall the SPB069 in Blue Enamel released in 2017.

Swiss TAG Heuer has an ongoing history of allowing external designers and artists to leave their mark on their watches. In that realm of quirky timepieces those official TAG Heuer watches “redesigned” by Japanese artists have their own little microcosm – just think of this remarkable Nendo from 2015 that I have very much grown to love and appreciate. Today, a new piece called the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 Fragment Limited Edition by Hiroshi Fujiwara joins that special niche of TAG Heuer timepieces.

Swiss Jaquet Droz applies its unusual area of specialty – automatons, which it has been making since the eighteenth century – to the Jaquet Droz Lady 8 Flower Watch line. The Jaquet Droz Lady 8 Flower is the first ladies’ collection from the brand to contain an automaton. The mechanism powers the petals of a three-dimensional lotus flower, causing them to open and close on demand. When open, the flower reveals a pistil composed of a 0.25-carat briolette diamond or a briolette sapphire.

The Hublot Big Bang UNICO Magic Sapphire Watch reference 411.JX.1170.RX is one of a few sapphire crystal-cased watches Hublot produces – and to date, it is my favorite. Several years ago the first sapphire crystal-cased watch I was aware of was released by ultra-high-end watchmaker Richard Mille with a price tag of over $1,000,000. I recall seeing it for the first time in a display case – unable to be touched but interesting to look at. No, this material certainly did not look like plastic.
