If you love Swiss watch brands, then you know Romain Gauthier. The C by Romain Gauthier collection dates back to 2021 and is popular for its unique build. It previously featured two watches with similar properties, including a rubber strap and a titanium case. To diversify the collection, the brand added a new watch with a titanium bracelet.

This new Romain Gauthier timepiece has a stylish dial made from 18k gold and a PVD finish that gives it an interesting texture.

Unlike the two other watches, this one is more luxurious due to the high-end materials. Other elements, such as the hour markers and minute hand, are manufactured from 18k gold to complement the dial. However, they are not coated with any type of finish. As a result, there’s a huge color contrast between the dial and multiple elements, accentuating everything on the front face.

At the seven o’clock denotation, you’ll find a second subdial, highlighted by black lines that blend smoothly with the dial.

It’s also worth noting that most components are off-centered to give the watch a Romain Gauthier look.

Speaking of which, the watch’s back is as stylish as the front. Thanks to the sapphire case back, anyone can enjoy the beautiful views offered by the watch’s movement, which features well-polished bevels and other hand-crafted elements.

The inscriptions on the mechanism will give you an insight into the materials from which the watch is manufactured.

With that said, the C by Romain Gauthier Platinum Edition Bracelet model costs $138,000.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Guess what? It's another MoonSwatch — but this isn't just another colorway. The new drop from the Switzerland-based watchmaker, the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon 1969, is the first to use real gold across the dial, hands, crown, and pushers.

The watch marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on July 21, 1969.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5
The new watches rep the iconic Bond car right down to subdials shaped like its dashboard gauges.
Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It's a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the "squircle" gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5's steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling's in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches
These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars
Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.
