NFTs have re-emerged, and the market cap for different coins has skyrocketed. Ever since the bull run kicked off in 2024, multiple blockchain projects have been launched to capitalize on this.

Illivum recently announced an NFT project that merges two fields, horology and blockchain, by partnering with Casio G-shock while creating NFTs.

According to Kieran Warwick, the Co-Founder of Illuvium, “The G-SHOCK x Illuvium collab isn’t just a drop; it’s about bringing something fresh and exciting to the community. With the market turning up and new energy in the crypto space, this is the perfect moment to release a collection that combines nostalgia, innovation, and unparalleled craftsmanship.”

While Illuvium was founded in 2022, it dominated the market quickly, with major partnerships and a huge revenue of about $12.1 million.

The Illuvium Beyond x G-SHOCK Wave 3 Collection features six different characters. Illuvitars are distinguished by a unique style and allure that blends smoothly with the G-Shock on their hands. For instance, Earth Dakota is known for his fighting skills, while Flare was created with a protector-like look. Examples of other characters include Pho, Lynx, Archos, and Aapon.

Featuring three different background colors, the Wave 3 collection highlights every character in a stylish manner. Each Illuvitar comes with a G-shock that matches its background and character traits.

Anyone who purchases 20 characters will also get the Illuvium Beyond x G-SHOCK watch in its physical form. With that said, Wave 3 Collection Illuvitars will be available until December 22, and each one retails at $35.

Garmin upgrades the solar functionality on the new Instinct 3
New Garmin Instinct 3 is more powerful
Garmin Instinct 3

Garmin presents the new Instinct 3 collection of tactical watches with advanced tactical functionalities to enhance the user experience. It features three watches—a 45mm solar version, a 50 mm solar option, and a 45 mm AMOLED piece. The solar variants are designed to offer unlimited battery power to tackle the toughest outdoor expeditions. A bigger screen means more surface area for solar energy.

While the battery goes a long way in providing an enhanced user experience, the watch’s durability is also quite crucial, so the brand upgraded the bezel and reinforced it for multiple activities. The solar functionality is also more powerful than that featured on the previous model. It’s about five times more efficient than the Instinct 2 feature.

The new Christopher Ward C12 Loco: A reimagined mechanical version of the Twelve
Christopher Ward's latest mechanical watch
Christopher Ward C12 Loco

The new Christopher Ward watch will take your breath away with its striking color accents and mechanical look. It is based on one of the most sought-after flagship models, the Twelve. The latest addition leans towards the open-dial design and is highlighted by a spectacular view of components featured in the watch’s heart.

According to Christopher Ward, the movement was developed to sit in the new watch and make it look more stylish. The brand’s first-ever movement was rolled out in 2014, so it’s now raising the bar with a second in-house caliber—the brainchild of Feller Pivotages SA, a talented escapement developer. Designed to keep up with the times, the caliber CW-003 is quite powerful with a 144-hour power reserve.

Timex revives a 1970s classic with a modern twist in new Bespoke Post collab
A modern interpretation of the Viscount collection
Timex x Bespoke Post

Timex's latest field watch is inspired by a collection of watches known as Viscount, which dates back to the 1970s. It was quite popular in the good old days and was the go-to for the Australian National Railway. This time around, the brand partnered with Bespoke Post to make the watch more stylish and durable, keeping up with the times. While the brand rolled out large models inspired by Viscount in the past few years, the latest addition has a 36 mm casing—the new modern size.

Given that Bespoke Post focuses on outdoor gear, it had a big influence on some of the materials featured on the new watch. Apart from the small casing, the watch is paired with a new Cordura strap, a material that can be easily styled to fit multiple spaces. It can also take on everything that’s thrown its way.
