What’s even better than simply buying a new watch? Of course, buy one to benefit someone else, like in the case of a charity auction! You can do that by participating in the annual event hosted by the New York Horseological Society and Christie’s on March 22nd.
Oris continues to support HSNY in her charity, donating Oris’ propillot Ultimate and four tickets to go to see the New York Yankees.
However, if your watch box is full, there are still ways to get satisfaction with your watch. I risk speculating that your wall might look a bit blank, so what is a better way to solve it than the wall clock of the FP Journe Chronomètre Souverain? While Jaeger-Lecoultre travels to Reverso’s past, Ruverso Workshop Experience offers Reverso’s past, if you want to clean up spectacularly, you’ll travel to Reverso’s past while practicing the watch.
For those who prefer to consume or wear more finer things in their lives, Grand Seiko and Minister Nakazaki serve private Omakase dinners at his Michelin-starred restaurant of the same name. Alternatively, you can eat at other places than the Jean-Claude Biver. So make a list of hot watch questions. And if you’re going to go to dinner, you can see that part too, and you can, as Armory is donating custom safari jackets for the lucky winner.
But there are many that clearly stand out to me, especially with the listed estimates between USD 15,000 and USD 35,000. While this is not the first foray into the charitable cause of Lilique, who donated the Etoudé n°2 Guilloche in 2024, the reason why Heure Zoulou is so exciting is because the watch hasn’t come out yet. There was a whisper of a new Agenhor movement featuring GMT’s double retro-grade display and few seconds. So it’s great to have them show you the light of day. It is also a testament to the strength of the brand, which began as a collector-led initiative, and evolves into a third model and a clear design language. Check it out and have a great weekend!

Watch this week’s meme: Time is relative
I know which one I am.
This week’s wrist shot: Do you really need more?
It certainly shows my preferences, but when I see posts like this, I think I can really try and shake up a One Watch collection. I miss G-Shock at the gym, but by God it will be a sweet trade-off of this slate blue, ultra thin order mars pizza. Considering this week’s onslaught of AP novelty, I might be a bit shaky, but it’s hard to say no to something so elegant.
Time+Tide Shop Pick of the Week: Horror Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour Raven Black
Fears’ Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour is a great example of British watchmakers combining strength to bring something back to life. Christopher Ward borrowed the JJ01 Jump Hour move, but the horror wrapped it in a delicious cushioned brunswick, giving it a completely seductive dial.
The Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour Raven Black is available from The Time+Tide Shop. Price: $8,100
Accessories of the Month: Artem Loop-Less Hydroflex
Not all watch straps are equal. The Australian brand Artem knows it better than most people. In fact, they’re pretty straightforward about the fact that their straps aren’t cheap, but they just happen to be the most amazing thing in business. Artem’s latest strap, the Loop-Less Hydroflex, is the best ever. It features an Omega-style clasp and consists of an embedded sail cross texture and grooved recessed vents, making it more robust and refined than other rubber straps. Very OEM+ and comes in 9 different colors.
The Artem Loop-Less Hydroflex Strap retails for $440 and is available in a comprehensive range of lug widths ranging from 18mm to 22mm. Find out more at Artem Straps’ online store.

Russell explored the new, innovative caliber 7138 QP. Buffy brought details of Tuscan Blue Code 11.59. Jamie spoke about the new ceramic offshore.

What also caught our eye is that Swatch decided to support Speedy’s two competitors, Witnauer and Rolex Preyadna. Learn more about this unrestricted release here.
