You know something is good when it sells out in less than a day. From SNES Classic Editions to super rare sneakers, if it’s gone in under 24 hours, it is more than likely also great.

MVMT’s latest timepiece collaboration, the MVMT X Kolder Collection, is no exception. Created and designed by MVMT in partnership with Instagram celebrity and global traveler Sam Kolder, the MVMT Revolver Watch Kolder Edition’s aesthetic mimics that of Kolder’s photography and video editing styles which so often are moody blue with highlights of illuminated oranges and pinks. The deep blue color of the watch strap gives a nod to Kolder’s love of the ocean while the rose gold case and clasp details are an emulation of the pinky hues of the setting sun on the horizon. The back plate of each watch is engraved with Kolder’s signature icon, the palm tree.

Internally, a battery-powered, two-hand/small second Miyota Quartz movement hides behind the blue-gray dial. The watch is water resistant up to five atmospheres thanks to the dome-hardened mineral crystal glass front. In addition to the blue watch strap, it also comes with a second rose gold mesh version.

The collaboration is a tribute to the world’s greatest asset, time. Which is particularly important to Kolder, who lost his brother in an accident in 2014 and has been in pursuit of living his life to the fullest and filling every minute with adventure, exploration, and beauty ever since.

“When you look at this watch, I hope it serves as a reminder to live every day like it’s your last,” Kolder said in a statement.

While the watch is currently sold out, we’re confident MVMT will provide a second-round of production, making this stellar watch available to everyone who wants to wrap one on their wrist. The MVMT Revolver Watch Kolder Edition retails for $180.

anOrdain launches handcrafted porcelain watches

From fire to clay: anOrdain's porcelain revolution brings accessible artistry

anOrdain launches handcrafted porcelain watches

AnOrdain, a Glasgow-based company, built a loyal following—it made excellent hand-enameled watch dials and offered clear customer service. The Scottish maker then moved into a new material: porcelain. The company introduced its Model 2 Porcelain collection after three years of focused study. This collection gives customers a way to experience anOrdain's handmade dial art.
Work with porcelain began in 2022. At that time, anOrdain saw a need to broaden its selection. The company also wanted to keep its standards for handmade products high. Instead of buying porcelain dials from others, the company chose to learn this old art itself. AnOrdain's team spent three years with master potters from Stoke-on-Trent—a town known as a center for English pottery—learning how to make watch dials from English clay.
Making porcelain dials requires different methods than working with enamel. AnOrdain’s well-known grand feu enamel dials use glass powder on metal discs, which are baked at 840°C. But the new porcelain dials use English clay. Workers paint them with glass-like coatings and fire them at much higher temperatures, up to 1300°C. To achieve the black finish seen in the collection, the company experimented with many glaze mixtures, finally using a high amount of iron oxide.
After this hot firing, each dial shows slight differences. Small dips and dots appear as a sign of the handmade process. AnOrdain says these natural variations mean no two porcelain dials look the same. This celebrates the human touch in making fine watches.
The Model 2 Porcelain keeps the well-liked size and look of anOrdain’s enamel collection, but with some updates. The 39.5mm steel case holds the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, which performs well. The hands have been significantly improved. White glowing material now fills loops that were previously empty, finished with fine gold frames. The seconds hand is more striking, with a bright red outer coat and a white tip.
Production capacity is small—anOrdain can finish about 30 pieces each month. The price is $2,440, which is $750 less than the enamel versions, even though they use the same cases and movements. The current wait time is six months, and customers can buy only one watch each. The Model 2 Porcelain shows anOrdain's commitment to preserving traditional crafts in modern watchmaking. It also offers affordable luxury through transparent dealings with customers.

Breitling honors Scott Carpenter with platinum watch

Orbital legacy: Breitling's platinum tribute to space exploration pioneer

Breitling scott carpenter platinum watch

Sixty-three years after Scott Carpenter circled Earth, a custom Breitling Navitimer sat on his wrist. The Swiss maker now honors him with a platinum watch, which has a limited run. The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary observes the American pilot's 100th birthday—it also recalls the story of the first Swiss watch to leave Earth's air.

On May 24, 1962, Carpenter became the second American to circle Earth. He flew as part of NASA's Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. A special Navitimer was on his wrist. Breitling altered it for space travel. The work began with a personal letter from Carpenter—he requested specific changes. He wanted a wider bezel for gloved hands and a stretch metal band for his space suit. Most notably, he asked for a 24-hour dial. In orbit, sunrise and sunset happen every 90 minutes. A regular 12-hour display does not show time well there.

Watch straps: What are the rules and when can you break them?

Watch straps can be a lot more complex than you expect

Man with watch and brown strap

Watch straps can be an affordable way to expand a smaller watch collection. A good quality strap can be found for under $20, and will give a timepiece a completely different look. For example, I have a brown leather strap on the vintage Oyster Perpetual I use as a daily driver, but a quick switch to a black strap makes it look like a completely different timepiece.

However, there are some rules regarding your watch’s wrist strap. Breaking said rules can make using the watch tricky and could leave you looking a little silly in some circumstances. Don’t worry, though—it’s all pretty simple. Here’s a handy guide that should get you through the basics.
