This week saw the fabled return of ’s LV Monterey. The bombshell revival, dialled in grand feu enamel, cased in yellow gold like the ‘88 original, is powered by a Fabrique du Temps automatic movement and limited to just 188 pieces. First designed by celebrated Italian architect G*e Aulenti, it’s garnered growing attention on social media in the last few years thanks to appearances on Tyler the Creator, as well as recent runway cameos.

Celebrating a slightly older birthday is ’s Laureato, which turned fifty in style this week. Half a century demands gold as a gift, and the maison uses it alongside steel as nod to the original two-tone model, but its the new in-house GP4800 automatic calibre that’s GP’s real gift to itself.

Elsewhere, is the latest brand to spotlight precious stone dials in one of the biggest watch trends we’ve seen this year. Malachite, tiger’s eye, charoite (found only in Siberia) and turquoise enliven the dials of the C63 Sealander, each limited to just 150 pieces.

crashes onto the scene at WatchPro Salon 2025.

The independent Swiss brand brings its bold Surrealist aesthetic to London’s fifth edition of WatchPro Salon, taking place 31 October - 1 November at 60 Great Queen Street.

Best known for the Melting Watch - the daring alternative to the Cartier Crash - Exaequo bends time and design with its distorted, dreamlike silhouettes inspired by Salvador Dalí.

This year, the brand expands its collection with the Polyhedron and Revolve - two new models redefining form, symmetry and imagination.

Meet Exaequo alongside 30+ leading and independent brands at the UK’s premier boutique watch fair.

is marking five years of horological magic, and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate with the brand at WatchPro Salon 2025.

With over 50 years of watchmaking heritage in her DNA, Jess Chow began Vieren in 2020 with award-winning designer Sunny Fong, drawing on architectural inspirations to create a signature in rectangular timepieces.

Chow stands as Canada’s first female founder of a luxury watch brand and today is proudly a member of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG).

To mark its anniversary, Vieren has recently launched the V Collection: and exclusive set of five Swiss-made automatic watches, each designed with a different artist from around the world - from British tattoo artist Kelly Violet, to surrealist Polish artist Cosmodernism pictured. The brief: fit the classic rectangular case, and use a monochromatic palette.

Discover Vieren at WatchPro Salon in London on 31 October and 1 November. Tickets via the link in bio.

Here’s what the world’s most famous faces have been wearing on their wrists recently…

@‌georgerussell63 celebrated his Singapore GP win on Sunday wearing the elegant @‌iwcwatches Portugieser Annual Calendar. Featuring month, date, and day displays, the 44.2mm steel model runs on IWC’s in-house Calibre 52850 that has a seven-day power reserve and only needs adjusting only once a year.

Most eyes were on the runway at Paris Fashion Week, but we spotted some noteworthy timepieces in the front row. Lana Del Ray made an appearance accompanied by a stunning 18K yellow gold Cartier Baignoire, while rapper Central Cee swapped his humble G-Shock for a $450,000 Richard Mille at the Saint Laurent show.

But it was CEO of @‌dior Antoine Arnault that got us talking. No stranger to the world of haute horology thanks to his LVMH DNA, Arnault wore a vintage @‌rolex Ref 1665 Sea Dweller with a coveted @‌tiffanyandco stamp that recently sold at auction for almost £27,000.

Perhaps the rarest sighting though came from @‌zuck, who was spotted at UFC 320 this weekend wearing a collectors dream: a FP Journe Astronomic Souveraine with a dark grey dial. Launched in 2019, the ultra-rare masterpiece combines a tourbillon, minute repeater, sidereal time, equation of time, and sunrise/sunset indications in a 44mm case, and costs a mere $1,230,000.

What other watches in the wild have you seen this week?

The mood across Swiss watchmaking as it entered 2025 was cautiously optimistic. It had taken over-exuberant executives too long to realise that the post-pandemic boom was not a new normal and there was too much product out in the market from brands whose desirability and business performance were in...
