Bremont introduces a new chapter in its Terra Nova collection with the limited edition Terra Nova 38 in Turquoise. This release is an exclusive partnership with Exquisite Timepieces, a retailer in Naples, Florida. Limited to just 100 pieces, this edition reimagines the refined field watch aesthetic with a striking color, resulting in a summer-ready watch that balances technical craftsmanship with visual appeal.

The collaboration highlights Bremont’s approach to retail exclusives, working with specialized dealers to create unique colorways for discerning collectors. Exquisite Timepieces was chosen for this partnership due to its reputation in luxury watch sales and its understanding of American preferences for distinctive, small-batch watches.

The foundation of the Terra Nova 38 remains unchanged—a refined 904L stainless steel cushion case featuring both polished and brushed surfaces with sloping lugs. This high-grade steel, favored in marine applications and luxury watches, offers superior corrosion resistance and finish compared to standard 316L steel. The 38mm size ensures comfortable wear while maintaining a strong wrist presence.

The turquoise dial is the watch’s standout feature, offering a vibrant hue reminiscent of designs from luxury jewelry houses. Despite its boldness, the watch retains field watch legibility, with 3D white Super-LumiNova block numerals and polished pencil-style rhodium hands providing strong contrast for easy reading in any light. This color choice reflects industry trends toward unique dial treatments that set limited editions apart.

On the technical side, the BE-36AL automatic movement ensures reliable performance, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 38-hour power reserve. While this is less than some extended power reserve movements, it delivers consistent daily wear—typical for Swiss automatics in this price segment.

Attention to detail is evident throughout the construction. A domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial and ensures clarity. The solid case back features a decorative globe map engraving, a nod to the spirit of exploration inherent in field watch design. With 100 meters of water resistance, the watch is well-suited for daily activities, though it is not intended for professional diving.

The high-quality steel bracelet integrates seamlessly with quick-release fittings, offering modern convenience while maintaining a luxurious look. This feature allows for easy strap changes to suit different occasions or personal preferences.

Priced at $3,450, the Terra Nova 38 Turquoise positions itself as accessible luxury, competing with established field watch options while offering British design heritage and exclusivity. The pricing reflects Bremont’s place between mainstream Swiss brands and high-end independent watchmakers.

The limited nature of this edition will appeal to collectors seeking unique pieces not available through traditional retail channels. Available in just 100 pieces on both Bremont.com and ExquisiteTimepieces.com, this partnership demonstrates how specialized collaborations can create unique market opportunities.

Bremont’s Terra Nova collection continues to evolve through bold color choices while staying true to the core design principles established in its earliest models. This turquoise edition proves that daring dial treatments can enhance classic field watch aesthetics—when executed with thoughtful restraint and technical expertise.

anOrdain launches handcrafted porcelain watches
From fire to clay: anOrdain's porcelain revolution brings accessible artistry
anOrdain launches handcrafted porcelain watches

AnOrdain, a Glasgow-based company, built a loyal following—it made excellent hand-enameled watch dials and offered clear customer service. The Scottish maker then moved into a new material: porcelain. The company introduced its Model 2 Porcelain collection after three years of focused study. This collection gives customers a way to experience anOrdain's handmade dial art.
Work with porcelain began in 2022. At that time, anOrdain saw a need to broaden its selection. The company also wanted to keep its standards for handmade products high. Instead of buying porcelain dials from others, the company chose to learn this old art itself. AnOrdain's team spent three years with master potters from Stoke-on-Trent—a town known as a center for English pottery—learning how to make watch dials from English clay.
Making porcelain dials requires different methods than working with enamel. AnOrdain’s well-known grand feu enamel dials use glass powder on metal discs, which are baked at 840°C. But the new porcelain dials use English clay. Workers paint them with glass-like coatings and fire them at much higher temperatures, up to 1300°C. To achieve the black finish seen in the collection, the company experimented with many glaze mixtures, finally using a high amount of iron oxide.
After this hot firing, each dial shows slight differences. Small dips and dots appear as a sign of the handmade process. AnOrdain says these natural variations mean no two porcelain dials look the same. This celebrates the human touch in making fine watches.
The Model 2 Porcelain keeps the well-liked size and look of anOrdain’s enamel collection, but with some updates. The 39.5mm steel case holds the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, which performs well. The hands have been significantly improved. White glowing material now fills loops that were previously empty, finished with fine gold frames. The seconds hand is more striking, with a bright red outer coat and a white tip.
Production capacity is small—anOrdain can finish about 30 pieces each month. The price is $2,440, which is $750 less than the enamel versions, even though they use the same cases and movements. The current wait time is six months, and customers can buy only one watch each. The Model 2 Porcelain shows anOrdain's commitment to preserving traditional crafts in modern watchmaking. It also offers affordable luxury through transparent dealings with customers.

Chronomaster original triple calendar launches in lapis lazuli
Written in the stars: zenith's new blue stone dial chronograph celebrates celestial origins
Chronomaster original triple calendar in lapis lazuli

Zenith has broadened its Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar collection. A new version features a lapis lazuli dial, recalling the company's celestial inspiration.
This version joins Zenith's expanding group of blue releases for 2025. It follows the G.F.J. Collection and the 160th Anniversary blue ceramic trilogy that debuted earlier this year. The stone dial, in a distinctive deep blue, displays naturally occurring gold-colored pyrite inclusions. These inclusions resemble stars in the night sky, making each watch uniquely distinct.
Against this backdrop, three silver-toned counters and a matching chapter ring, which measures tenths of a second, create contrast and readability. The complete calendar functions are integrated into the design. Day and month appear above the chronograph counters at 11 and 2 o'clock, respectively. The date is shown at 4:30. A moon phase indicator is set smoothly within the chronograph minute counter at 6 o'clock.
With a 38mm stainless steel case, it keeps the signature profile of the original A386 from 1969. It has tapered lugs, pump-style pushers, and a raised box-shaped sapphire crystal. Although it houses a complex calendar alongside the chronograph, the case remains wearable at 14mm thick and 46mm from lug to lug.
Powering the watch is Zenith's automatic El Primero 3610 caliber, a modern evolution of the iconic high-frequency chronograph. The central chronograph hand makes a full rotation in 10 seconds, showing 1/10th of a second measurements precisely on the outer chapter ring. A stop-seconds device for time setting is included as well. The movement offers a 60-hour power reserve.
Through the sapphire caseback, wearers can appreciate the movement's architecture. It features a blue column wheel and an openworked weight decorated with Zenith's five-pointed star.
The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli comes with a blue calfskin leather strap secured by a stainless steel folding clasp. For extra versatility, Zenith includes a matching steel bracelet with its own folding clasp.
Available at Zenith boutiques, the company's official website, and through authorized retailers worldwide, the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli is priced at $22,700 (or 21,900 CHF / 23,700 euros).

New Ming 37.02 Ghost watch draws inspiration from architectural finishes
Ming's latest platinum watch is reminiscent of architectural components
Ming 37.02 Ghost

Popular for its minimalist aesthetic, Ming is now setting the standards with a new titanium watch, based on a previous 2024 model, the Ming 37.02. While the latest model has the same design as the 2024 edition, it is accentuated by a brushed finish that reflects light stylishly, making the watch look more modern. Ming’s main inspiration for the new watch was metallic finishes from different architectural components—baffles, claddings, struts, and buttresses.

Every Ming watch aligns with a certain theme. The LW.01 model, for instance, is made from a lightweight material and holds the title of the lightest model from the brand. Given that architectural finishes inspire the new Ghost model, the casing is made of Grade 2 titanium, a material that can be molded to align with the architectural theme.
