Formex expands the Essence collection with the Space Glacier watch model

A new Formex watch that will take you to space

Formex presents a new watch, the Space Glacier, in different sizes to diversify the Essence collection. Like the original model dating back to 2018, the 2025 edition stands out due to the Widmanstätten pattern, which is accentuated by a rough texture that adds depth to the front face. The crystal-like appearance is unique and varies from one model to the next.

This new addition draws some inspiration from older models launched in the past few years, such as the Essence Space Gold.

Such models garnered a lot of popularity, so Formex reimagined the watches with new colors and materials. The new model features a meteorite dial topped off with silver and zapon teintée. It has an interesting blue shade highlighted by the lacquer finish for a contemporary look.

Apart from the high-quality finish, this model was cleverly engineered to withstand multiple external forces. It comes with a shock absorption system that’s firmly secured on the watch with four different screws. Even though the screws are mechanical, they make the front face look more interesting. The stainless steel bezel complements the dial with a vertical brushed finish and a mirror finish.

At the heart of the watch is the SW200-1 Swiss Made, an automatic movement featuring 26 jewels and a 41-hour power reserve—enough power to last for two days. This new model is paired with an Italian calf strap, designed for high comfort levels. As a limited edition model, the new blue Essence Space Glacier will be capped at 100 pieces. The 39mm and 43 mm options cost $1,990 when paired with a stainless steel bracelet and $1,870 when offered with a leather strap.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)
Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market
Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.
