After an absolutely whirlwind of a week in Geneva for Watches and Wonders, where I got to see some of the craziest watches I’ve ever laid my eyes on, I’ve found myself needing a reset around watches, and that means going back to the basics for wrist time — my Giorgio Galli S2 Timex has…

Geneva-based watchmaker Kross Studio, which created the world’s most expensive Star Wars fan merchandise, has just released its most elegant watch yet with the Marco Tedeschi MT1 Chronometre Tourbilon 7 Jours. Marco Tedeschi is the founder of Kross Studio and, before that, worked as an engineer at Hublot and ran “RJ” (the rebranded Romain Jerome brand).…

With more than 55,000 visitors, Watches and Wonders 2025 saw the fair’s greatest attendance to date. In his closing press release, President Cyrille Vigneron proudly named it a must-attend professional event and a platform for watchmaking maisons to express their creativity.
