Parmigiani Fleurier, started in 1996 by watchmaker Michel Parmigiani, now offers a new 36mm Automatic Platinum Stone Blue watch in its Tonda PF collection. This piece demonstrates the brand’s take on quiet luxury, adding to its repertoire of spectacular designs.

This new model maintains the collection’s simple looks while featuring a lively blue dial based on Le Corbusier’s color choices. The blue tone recalls soft morning light and still water, linking it closely with nature to appeal to luxury fans who love the elements.

The 36mm case moves toward a universal style in watchmaking. It combines old-fashioned sizes with a modern charm that goes beyond typical gender labels. The stainless steel body meets a textured platinum ring, a clear sign of the Tonda PF line from 2021, which has found continued success.

The watch stands out with care, as shown on its “Stone Blue” dial. Its hand-made guilloché in a Grain d’Orge design catches light differently as the wrist moves. Gold markers applied by hand with a rhodium plate offer a slight touch of class to the clear design.

Michel Parmigiani, Founder and Master Watchmaker, says, “Stone Blue invites one to leave behind routine, caught between sky and horizon, where light joins with clarity. This blue shows calm modernity that fits every time.”

At its core, the PF770 automatic movement is built to run for 60 hours on full wind. The movement demonstrates Côtes de Genève lines with angled bridges, seen through the clear sapphire back.

The Tonda PF 36mm Automatic Platinum Stone Blue sells for $22,600 and continues Parmigiani Fleurier’s tradition of technical skill with precise workmanship.

The new Christopher Ward C12 Loco: A reimagined mechanical version of the Twelve
Christopher Ward's latest mechanical watch
Christopher Ward C12 Loco

The new Christopher Ward watch will take your breath away with its striking color accents and mechanical look. It is based on one of the most sought-after flagship models, the Twelve. The latest addition leans towards the open-dial design and is highlighted by a spectacular view of components featured in the watch’s heart.

According to Christopher Ward, the movement was developed to sit in the new watch and make it look more stylish. The brand’s first-ever movement was rolled out in 2014, so it’s now raising the bar with a second in-house caliber—the brainchild of Feller Pivotages SA, a talented escapement developer. Designed to keep up with the times, the caliber CW-003 is quite powerful with a 144-hour power reserve.

A modern interpretation of the Viscount collection
Timex x Bespoke Post

Timex's latest field watch is inspired by a collection of watches known as Viscount, which dates back to the 1970s. It was quite popular in the good old days and was the go-to for the Australian National Railway. This time around, the brand partnered with Bespoke Post to make the watch more stylish and durable, keeping up with the times. While the brand rolled out large models inspired by Viscount in the past few years, the latest addition has a 36 mm casing—the new modern size.

Given that Bespoke Post focuses on outdoor gear, it had a big influence on some of the materials featured on the new watch. Apart from the small casing, the watch is paired with a new Cordura strap, a material that can be easily styled to fit multiple spaces. It can also take on everything that’s thrown its way.

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.
