While Maen is a relatively new brand that’s been active for about seven years, it garnered a lot of popularity due to its high-quality watches. Within a short period of time, the brand launched eight different watch collections characterized by unique features and functionalities.

The Manhattan collection has been quite popular for its squarish design and flashy bracelet. It’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing collections from the Swedish luxury brand.

When it first launched into the market, it featured timepieces with 39mm casings and 38mm casings—the new Manhattan watches are larger than the original ones.

As the name hints, the latest additions have a 40mm casing and are offered in three different dial colors—blue, green, and brown.

Watches that come with a blue dial or a brown dial are manufactured from standard materials. But, the piece with the green dial is constructed from a high-end stone, popularly known as green jade. It’s a material that goes back to the 6th and 7th centuries. Throughout history, the material symbolized various notions, from beauty and elegance to wisdom. As a natural material, green jade has a very unique pattern.

Since this material is quite exquisite, Maen limits the number of watches with a green jade dial.

Despite that, the new timepiece is available in two different variants. The standard option, as the name hints, is equipped with a normal caliber, the Sellita SW200-1, which offers a power reserve of 40 hours.

Maen also offers an option with a high-end caliber. The standard option retails at $818, while the high-end option retails at $1,222.

It’s worth noting that the green jade option has a higher price tag, while the standard option costs $1,077, the premium option retails at $1,481.

Watches and Wonders is one of our favorite times of the year. There are dozens of brands looking to show out and show off everything they have worked on for the last year in preparation for the biggest event of the year in horology. Of course, standouts and newcomers always surprise us, but it can sometimes be challenging to know the big moments, the big takeaways, and what the watch world will implement into the industry moving forward.

For that, I reached out to a friend of mine, Perri Dash, horology expert and founder of the acclaimed Wrist Check Podcast. Not only is he the go-to brain when it comes to watches, but he was boots on the ground and ready to share what the big moments and takeaways were for Watches and Wonders 2025.

This Timex watch — a favorite of John F. Kennedy Jr. — has made a comeback

Timex Intrepid Reissue

Timex breathes life into the 1995 Intrepid watch and gives it a modern touch. Given that this Timex model was favored by John F. Kennedy Jr., it became popular in the '90s—and now it's back. To mark a special feat in its history (the 30th anniversary of the model), the brand upgraded the model but preserved the original 1990s design.

One of the watch's most striking features is the Indiglo mechanism, a light that makes it easier to read the dial in dark environments. Luminova hour markers were still in development in the early ‘90s, so each brand came up with a special mechanism for lighting up the front face. At the 9 o’clock denotation, a huge green pusher turns on the light and adds to the look with its striking hue.
