You don’t need to go over your budget to purchase a beautiful timepiece. Anglo-Swedish watch label Larsson & Jennings has proven that with their selection of eye catching watches at reasonable price points.

Larsson & Jennings was established in 2012 and has since created a solid line of unisex styles which are both modern and classic. The Chain Metal collection and a recent addition – the SAXON collection – are two of our favorites from the brand.

Let’s start with the CM collection. There are three color options, the first is a gold on gold combination. The CM Gold features a big, but not too big 40mm polished gold plated 316L case and bezel. The face of the watch is white with gold hands and indexes – a statement piece in the core collection that compliments and range of styles and aesthetics.

The second style is an all silver watch. A bit more traditional with polished stainless steel case, detailed with steel hands and indexes sitting on a white dial.

The third style may be our favorite – a sleek and stylish all black version. The CM Black combines a matte black bezel and case which houses a black dial detailed with gun grey hands and indexes.

The recently introduced SAXON collection is a bit more traditional. The SAXON series has a 39mm case and also features date and sub dial functions to the Larsson & Jennings core collection.

Each style is Swiss Made, but it’s the bespoke handles that are the icing on the cake. The straps are handmade from Swedish or British leather. The watch’s face is covered in anti-reflective coated crystal sapphire glass – resistant to scratches. A brushed 316L case, bezel and lugs have an angular finish to create a modern aesthetic, and the classic accents are captured in the dial which features sculpted hands, a sloped chapter ring and minimal indexing.

You might wonder why Seiko is blowing out 110 candles on its anniversary cake when it feels like it just celebrated its centennial jubilee last year. Let's unravel that timeline, shall we?

In 1881, Kintarō Hattori laid the cornerstone of what would evolve into the Seiko empire, later debuting the Timekeeper pocket watch in 1895. Seiko later introduced their first wristwatch, the Laurel, in 1913, which was celebrated last year with lots of fanfare. Now, 2024 is another significant year for the brand (they really like their anniversaries don't they?), and this time they're celebrating the first time "Seiko" appeared on a watch, which happened in 1924. Seiko has introduced three new masterpieces to its Astron collection to honor this, though they've promised 9 new watches as part of the celebration, a few of which have already been released.

One brand that stands out prominently in the pretty crowded space of watches for men with a timeless appearance is Seiko. In June 2024, the Japanese watchmaker will unveil its latest masterpiece: the Classic Series. Drawing inspiration from the graceful nuances of Japanese aesthetics, the Classic Series pays homage to the softer side of design.
Seiko watches: The Classic Series

Since its inception in 2016, the Presage collection has established itself as Seiko's domain for crafting timepieces that exude sophistication with a dash of minimalism, distinct from their sporty counterparts. Contrasting with Seiko's Sharp Edged Series, these new models feature more rounded contours and gentler hues on their dials.

Among them are the SPB463, SPB465, and SPB467 – three exquisite three-handers boasting a harmonious blend of form and function, which is pretty much the definition of a classic Seiko watch. These feature a 40.2mm case diameter and a slim profile of 13mm. The polished stainless steel case, adorned with brushed lugs and a raised bezel, exudes the opposite of most watch releases, which is an elegance that doesn't beg for attention. Complementing the case is a bracelet with a push-button butterfly clasp, meticulously crafted for both a stylish look and a comfortable fit.
