Space One launches their second album, the Tellurium, which offers that Urwerk vibe but for a lot less. Mido and MB&F MAD Gallery go the super colorful route with their new special edition. And we can’t completely avoid talking about W&W so we bring you 3 punchy new models from Moser and Norqain. Also, a massive thank you to everyone who has helped us reach 70k followers on Instagram! You people are legends!

H. Moser Pioneer Centre Seconds Concept Citrus Green. Elaborate in execution but minimalist in appearance. The H. Moser & Cie Concept series’ stars are the complex dials that are barren, apart from a handset, so the hand-craftsmanship gets all the attention. Following this execution is the new Moser Pioneer Concept Citrus Green. The watch has a killer vibrant lime-green fume dial with soft transitions from yellow hues at the center and green on the edges. The flow of color is made even more stunning with a sunburst finish. With artistic dials even necessary elements like the hands can seem out of place but here the partially skeletonized and luminescent leaf-shaped hands look right at home and more conceptually connected to the dial thanks to the unusual design choice to frame the lime dial with a Super-LumiNova flange. This pairs with the everyday sports nature of the Pioneer case. Especially here where the 42.8mm x 10.6mm (14.2mm tall including the high domed sapphire crystal) x 51mm frame is mostly brushed. The rugged flourishes of the ridges on the sculpted 22mm lugs are one of our favorite lug designs. To sit between them, one can choose a three-link bracelet, leather or textile strap, and our pick, a blue rubber band that perfectly complements the green dial. The Centre Seconds Concept Citrus Green operated by the Swiss-made HMC 201 movement, boasts a robust 3-day power reserve (gained with a bi-directional pawl winding system) and a new partially open architecture finished with Moser’s double stripes, anthracite coating, and gold detailing. Beating at 3Hz, the balance wheel’s impressive Straumann hairspring delivers great stability and thus accuracy. Scottish Watches Podcast #558 : Snoopy Goes To The Dark Side and Tudor Are Tickled Pink https://glasgowvaults.co.uk/ – https://glasgowvaults.co.uk/faq/ The Snoopy Omega MoonSwatch Dark Side Is Here Plus Watch Robbery BlitzRikki is wearing the Jack Mason Stratotimer GMT Expresso.Vintage Rolex GMT Master Bakelite bezel inser. Seiko Pogue. Dave is wearing his Konstantin Chaykin Joke Titanium. Adweek – Hodinkee Crown Caliber. Norqain Wild One Skeleton 42mm Gecko and Coral. The Norqain Wild One is ingenious for activewear with its exclusive NORTEQ carbon fiber composite construction, made possible with the brand’s collaboration with Jean-Claud Biver, and BIWI SA. Together with a titanium container for the movement with is incase with a rubber shock absorber, the Wild One is light on the wrist at just 78g while comfortably withstanding 5000g of shock. Kind of perfect for tennis. It won’t tire the arm or cripple the movement with the vibrations of a powerful swing. Thus it makes sense for Norqain to partner with 3 time Grand Slam champion and one of three people to beat the greats of tennis (Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Rafael Nadal), Stan Wawrinka. The Swiss tennis player had been wearing the Skeleton Tourquase courtside since the US Open of last year. To announce this partnership to further Norqain’s growth worldwide, Norqain is adding to the skeletonized subcollection of the Wild One. Another advantage of NORTEQ is its ability to be colorized. The new editions pay homage to tennis courts. The fiery red clay of Roland Garros’s courts with the Coral, and the green hollow grass courts of Wimbledon with the Gecko. Stan will be wearing these on those courts during this year’s tennis season. These are joining the collection for $5,790. Norqain Wild One Skeleton 42mm Turquoise. Norqain Wild One TCS New York City Marathon Limited Edition. MAD Gallery Editions. Fears Boutique. Redcliff 39.5 Date ‘Boutique Edition’. Brunswick 38 ‘Boutique Edition’. Brunswick 40 ‘Boutique Edition’. GarrickScottish Watches Podcast #532 : World Speed Records, Concorde and Creating Watches With The Brooklands Watch Company Watchpro – Brooklands Watch Company F1 Commentator David Croft. Space One Jumping Hour. Space One Tellurium. Seagull Retro No Signal Small TV 34mm Dual Calendar Automatic 1051a. Mido Multifort TV Big Date s01e01. Mido’s Multifort TV Big Date has lost its signal. Or more precisely this limited edition of 999 pieces is using its after-broadcast time to recalibrate or is doing so after experiencing technical difficulties as this new wild dial is styled after a TV test card, specifically the Philips circle pattern used in the 20th century in European and Australian PAL TVs, which where used to adjust image quality when not broadcasting. Mido hasn’t just added a flat assortment of colors but also brought texture by creating 4 sided triangles that bring a 3Dness to the dial. Really complementing the colors of the dial are the new yellow and pastel green rubber straps which can be had alongside a three-link bracelet for $1,470.
