Popular for its “invention” collection, Greubel Forsey has introduced a new timepiece into the watch market: the Nano Foudroyante EWT.

The first timepiece in this collection dates back to 2004, and it was the brainchild of Stephen Forsey and Robert Greubel. This new watch celebrates the 20th anniversary of the first iteration.

While Greubel Forsey has been focusing on different types of inventions, it says that the Nano Foudroyante EWT is the most advanced timepiece from the collection. Greubel Forsey has capitalized on nanotechnology to create a new Foudroyante using miniature components.

It is also worth noting that the Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante EWT features a 39mm gold case with a white gold finish. The cherry on top of the cake is the titanium bezel that complements the gold casing.

Apart from that, the Foudroyante is directly linked to the tourbillion. As a result, the watch is fitted with a smaller movement and is built from smaller components. Unlike timepieces from the previous generations, the Nano Foudroyante EWT comes with 428 calibre components and a 31 mm movement.

With that said, the movement offers a 24-hour power reserve. Since the brand featured a few components on the movement mechanism, it is not as powerful as expected.

The good thing about this timepiece is that it is made by the hand of Greubel Forsey Atelier. And thanks to the sapphire back casing, the Nano Foudroyante offers beautiful sightings into the mechanism.

Only 11 pieces will be rolled out into the market and each will retail at $538,000.

Union Glashütte’s new chronograph looks like a vintage race car dashboard

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Union Glashütte has released a new limited-edition chronograph tied to the Sachsen Classic, a historic car rally the brand has sponsored for years.

The name of the Glashütte-based watchmaker’s new piece is a mouthful: the Averin Chronograph Limited Edition Sachsen Classic 2026. It might be so long because it marks a bit of a switch-up — past Sachsen Classic editions have all been built on Union Glashütte’s Noramis Chronograph, a round watch. This year the brand switched to the Averin, which is very clearly not round.

For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations

Blazer, Clothing, Coat

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

Citizen’s Tsuyosa Shore gets a vintage-leaning limited edition

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa Shore line, and it’s got a great look to it if I say so myself.

The Tokyo-based watchmaker’s new drop features a deep black dial, with a gradient effect and a textured surface that catches light differently depending on the angle.
