Swiss watchmaker Urwerk has just debuted a new EMC Time Hunter in a stylish Desert Sage variant. This military beige finish on the case matches the design of the watch amazingly, accentuating the strong properties of it even further. The case is made of steel, while the caseback is comprised of titanium. Covering them is […]

Last week, Dior transformed an area in Tai Kwun into a "Dior universe".

Here, they created dedicated spaces to present selected items from their Fall/Winter 2020-2021 men's and women's collections, as well as the newest watches and jewellery they have on offer. Emblazoned on the walls in neon lighting were powerful words and phrases such as “Consent”, "I Say I" and "Beauty is Ready Made", reminiscent of the fascinatingly provoking Autumn/Winter show they held in Paris earlier in the year.

It's been said that the collection they presented then was the most relatable and laid back yet, and we find the French maison following that route this season too. While it was rather difficult to imagine wearing coats and boots as we brave Hong Kong's infamously sweltering summer, it was a delight, nonetheless, to see what we can possibly add to our wardrobe in preparation for the next season.

As we turn to more subdued tones for Fall/Winter, we see darker, more sophisticated iterations of beloved Dior classics, and elegant yet ultra-chic accessories to complement our looks. For jewellery, we got an exclusive preview of a stunning set in malachite, which unfortunately we could not reveal just yet but absolutely adored, so watch this space. However, what we can reveal are the wonderful additions to Victoire de Castellane's Rose des Vents, the Rose Céleste, where we see the sun in yellow gold on one side and a moon on the other, and a suite of new Grand Bal watches.

Ahead, are our top five picks that we will keep in mind for the seasons to come.

Tudor has added yet another permutation to its incredibly – and rightly – popular Black Bay range with the unveiling of the new Fifty Eight Navy Blue.

Based on the existing Fifty Eight, which, with its 39mm case diameter and distinctive black and gilt colours, is one of the most popular watches in the line-up, this new reference comes with a steel bracelet or fabric or synthetic straps – and we’re particularly partial to the fabric, on navy but with a distinctive silver stripe along the centre. With its rich blue rotating bezel and dial, it recalls a line of military Tudor submariners made specially for the French Marine Nationale from the mid-20th century (and which, if you can find one – they came in either blue or black – are worth silly money), a resonant heritage that gives this new model a very decent provenance indeed.

Like the regular Fifty Eight diver, the three-hand, time-only “Navy Blue” (there’s no date window, which will doubtless delight the purists) is powered by Tudor’s own COSC-certified MT5402 calibre, a thoroughly up-to-date, accurate and reliable automatic movement that features a silicon balance spring and a shock-resistant balance bridge, which provides up to 70 hours of juice. It also offers 20 bar of water resistance, which though unexceptional for a dive watch these days is nonetheless perfectly respectable – and is in any case a heck of a lot deeper than most of us are ever likely willingly to find ourselves.

While the “Navy Blue” is certainly a beauty (and at less than 12mm thick it sits quite snugly on the wrist), one does wonder whether it edges the original Fifty Eight for visual appeal or, moreover, if it might not be just a little too similar in appearance to Tudor’s admittedly larger Pelagos diver in blue. Nonetheless, as it’s a Black Bay we can all expect it to fly out of the stores just as fast as almost every other model in the range – in other words, unless you’ve pre-ordered one or you’re especially chummy with your local dealer, don’t expect to get your mitts on one of these any time soon.

Zenith once again reinvents the chronograph with its 1/100th of a second automatic chronograph movement, raising the bar of precision to unprecedented heights. Specially treated in a Zenith Blue tone, the 1/100th of a second chronograph movement visible through the open dial contrasts beautifully against the black ceramic case. A high-frequency revolution.
