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.

Hands-on with the new Victorinox Maverick, a 20-year-old icon gone smaller
Watch, Hands, Dial

There’s something to be said for knowing which way the wind is blowing. The watch world is no exception, and the newest release from Victorinox is doing exactly that: twenty years after the brand launched the Maverick collection, they’re modernizing one of their longest-running lines to meet people where they (and their wrists) are at.

The Swiss brand has dropped the case size, set up 14 total references — 10 quartz on Ronda 715 movements, four automatic on Sellita SW200s — swapped some movements, and adjusted pricing. I’ve been wearing the automatic in blue, priced around $1,200, for the past few days to see how that move plays out on the wrist — and the results are all business.

Dickies and Budweiser’s new collab is pure America-maxxing
Pants, Shirt, Clothing

Somewhere, a bald eagle is shedding a single tear over Dickies and Budweiser’s first-ever merch collab.

The two teamed up for Bud’s 150th anniversary, which is a heck of a milestone. Dickies was founded in 1922, so it’s no slouch either, and the hundred-plus years of combined workwear and beer experience have made this a pretty strong collection.

BENRUS moves past reissues with its first original design in years
Watch, Strap, Dial

Every BENRUS watch since 2025 has been a rerun. The Type 3X is the first new episode. The American watchmaker founded in 1921 just dropped a brand-new, modern field watch built with input from former Tier One special-operations veterans.

It’s the first watch since the brand’s 2025 relaunch that isn’t a reissue of an old design: the Vietnam-era DTU-2A/P, the Type 1 and Type 2 favored by Navy SEALs and Special Forces, and the #3061 famously worn by Steve McQueen in “Bullitt.” The Type 3X breaks from that pattern entirely, built from scratch rather than pulled from an old catalog page.
