The latest Ulysse Nardin watch, the Blast x Amoureuxpeintre, is characterized by a simple and artistic design, which is quite stylish. This is no surprise given that the collaborator, Amoureuxpeintre, is a designer known for minimalism. Thanks to the grey and white background, this new watch redefines modern design and takes it to a new level. This is the perfect definition of less is more.

It has that modern, contemporary, and minimalistic look that’s often highlighted by dull and bright colors. While this new timepiece is inspired by the Blast Skeleton X, the front is quite different from the one featured on the Blast Skeleton X. However, a few details, such as the caliber’s profile, might give you a hint of the model the new watch is based on.

Since the Nardin Blast x Amoureuxpeintre watch comes with a translucent dial, the mechanism is hidden in plain sight. Some sections have a dark shadow-like appearance that adds to the look. And the good thing is that the shadow-like appearance might change under different lighting conditions.

To complement the hues featured on the dial, this timepiece is equipped with a black titanium casing that blends smoothly with other components. Every single component, from the strap to the dial, was inspired by the same color palette.

When it comes to the overall performance, the watch runs on the Nardin UN-171 caliber, a high-end movement that delivers a 96-hour power reserve to boost the watch’s efficiency and precision.

As a limited edition timepiece, only 29 pieces of the Ulysse Nardin Blast x Amoureuxpeintre will be rolled out into the market. It costs $32,700.

MING’s newest watch has a dial made of pewter
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Get ready for something interesting with the newest release from MING — a limited edition built around a material almost nobody uses in watchmaking.

The big selling point for the new drop from the Swiss-Malaysian independent watchmaker is a dial made with hand-hammered pewter. In case you didn’t know (and I certainly didn’t), pewter is a tin-based alloy strengthened with small amounts of copper and antimony.

Luminox’s latest Navy SEAL watch hides a message in the dark
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox just released the Navy SEAL 3500 “Semper-Fortis,” a limited edition built around a message that only fully reveals itself once the sun goes down.

That new release is a big boy — a 45mm watch built on Luminox’s Navy SEAL 3500 series. It keeps the collection’s turtle-shaped case but also integrates more features from CARBONOX, the brand’s lightweight composite, than any Navy SEAL model before it: the case, the unidirectional rotating bezel, and bracelet are all built from it.

This under-the-radar German brand just dropped a slick new dive watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Hanhart doesn’t get talked about nearly enough, so here’s a quick backstory: they’re a German brand out of Gütenbach in the Black Forest, they put the first single-button chronograph into series production back in 1938, and a year later they built pilot’s chronographs for the German Air Force. That red pusher button is still on their watches today.

That’s a real, foundational place in watchmaking history; it’s the kind of lore that other brands build entire marketing campaigns around. Somehow, Hanhart still flies under most people’s radar, but their new Aquasphere Matte Black is an argument that folks should be paying attention.
