From Nomos to Krayon, and everything in between, this week's selection showcases a diverse range of styles, from the classic to the avant-garde. Each piece tells a story, whether it's a tribute to Swiss tennis, a celebration of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, or an exploration of the Japanese concept of a recessed hollow. These watches are not just timepieces; they are works of art, each with its own unique character and purpose. Let's dive into the details and uncover the stories behind these remarkable creations.

Maurice de Mauriac x Racquet Rallymaster Swiss Tennis
In a nod to the 130th anniversary of the Swiss Tennis Association, Maurice de Mauriac introduces a limited-edition sports watch. Designed by Carlton DeWoody, the opaline dial features a luminescent tennis-net motif and a clever red gradient subdial, paying homage to the 20-second time limit between points. With 20% of sales proceeds supporting player development, this watch is not just a collectible but also a meaningful contribution to the future of Swiss tennis.
Krayon Parhelion
Krayon unveils the Parhelion, inspired by the rare phenomenon of parhelion, where bright spots appear in the sky due to refracted sunlight through suspended ice crystals. The 42mm white gold and palladium case is adorned with 159 baguette-cut sapphires, gradating from white to deep blue, and features the brand's new Y-shaped Krayon Cut at 12 o'clock.

Supplied with a flat-link bracelet and Nodus' new Fusion FKM rubber strap, this watch is available at the Time+Tide Watch Discovery Studio in New York City.
Sartory-Billard SB04-E Nuances
Sartory-Billard presents the SB04-E Nuances as a focused, permanent collection built for everyday wear. Exploring dial depth, the blue, green, and red displays celebrate a single shade through deep, dynamic gradients that shift under light and shadow. Signature details, such as the brand's alternating Y-shaped markers, anchor the dial, while a highly reliable 68-hour Swiss automatic movement ticks dependably within. This watch is a perfect blend of style and functionality.
Roger Dubuis Excalibur Kabuto Legacy
Roger Dubuis's Excalibur Kabuto Legacy is a tribute to 12 samurai commanders from 17th-century Japan, reimagined as micro-sculpted Kabuto helmets in 18K pink gold on the dial. The 45mm pink gold case features an abstracted Edo Castle in indigo-inspired blue coating, with each commander's crest laser-engraved on the caseback. Powered by the automatic RD821 calibre with 14 in-house finishes and Poinçon de Genève certification, the watch is worn on a stitched calf-leather strap styled after samurai armour.

Doxa's iconic SUB 300 has been recreated in lightweight grade 5 titanium to honor the novelist and explorer Clive Cussler. The watch showcases a newly developed dual-plane titanium dial, creating a layered effect that introduces depth and shadows, while preserving the SUB 300's instantly recognizable design. Limited to 300 numbered pieces, the COSC-certified dive watch supports the work of NUMA, the marine conservation organization founded by Cussler in 1979.
