Holthinrichs Celebrates 10 Years With The New Signature LAB 1.S & First-Ever 1.GMT

MRSTATELESS HOLTHINRICHS, NEW RELEASES 2026, GMT, Limited Edition, Small Seconds, Titanium 0

Dutch independent watchmaker Holthinrichs marks its 10th anniversary with the launch of two new limited editions: the Signature LAB 1.S and the Signature LAB 1.GMT. The release not only celebrates a decade of the brand’s evolution but also highlights its signature approach to watchmaking through advanced 3D-printed titanium construction and distinctive architectural design.

Founded by Michiel Holthinrichs, whose journey began with an architecture graduation project, the brand has built a strong identity around combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques.

A Sculptural 3D-Printed Titanium Case

Both new models are housed in a 38.50 mm titanium case, produced using the brand’s hallmark 3D metal printing technology. This manufacturing method allows the case to be built layer by layer, enabling complex shapes and structural details that would be difficult to achieve through conventional machining.

The case architecture is one of the standout elements of both watches. Its bold, angular profile is paired with skeletonised lugs, giving the design a lighter and more organic visual presence. The flowing shape of the lugs creates an interesting contrast against the case’s more industrial lines.

Finishing is executed with a mix of bead-blasted and brushed surfaces, further enhancing the texture and depth of the titanium construction.

Handcrafted Patina Dials

The dials continue Holthinrichs’ artistic approach, featuring a domed handcrafted surface with a copper patina finish. The oxidation treatment gives each dial a distinctive appearance, ensuring that every piece carries its own unique character.

Deeply engraved lines extend across the dial, creating a sense of movement and depth.

On the Signature LAB 1.S, these lines radiate outward from the small seconds subdial, a design detail that references the brand’s earliest creation, the Ornament 1, the watch that originated from Holthinrichs’ original project.

The Signature LAB 1.GMT adopts a different layout, with the pattern spreading from the central axis of the hands.

First GMT In The Signature Lab Collection

A key highlight of this anniversary release is the debut of the first GMT complication within the Signature Lab series.

The 1.GMT features a short GMT hand paired with a 24-hour scale marked by Breguet-style numerals, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone. Reinforcing the travel-oriented functionality, the dial also incorporates a world map motif, adding an additional layer of visual identity to the piece.

This complication broadens the practical appeal of the collection while remaining faithful to the brand’s highly artistic design language.

Swiss Automatic Movements

Inside the 1.S is the Sellita SW360 automatic movement, offering a 56-hour power reserve.

The 1.GMT is powered by the Sellita SW330, a proven Swiss automatic calibre equipped with GMT functionality and delivering a 42-hour power reserve.

Both movements are visible through the caseback and feature hand-carved rotors finished with a patina effect, echoing the aesthetic language of the dial.

Limited To 100 Pieces Each

Both anniversary models are released as limited editions of 100 pieces each, reinforcing the exclusivity that defines Holthinrichs’ independent production approach.

The Signature LAB 1.S is priced at € 5,900, while the more technically focused Signature LAB 1.GMT comes in at € 6,500, with both prices listed excluding VAT.

With these two new releases, Holthinrichs continues to showcase its unique blend of architectural inspiration, artisanal finishing, and modern manufacturing innovation, while celebrating a decade of design-led watchmaking.

Nomos Introduces Full Rose And All Olive To The Club Campus Line

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, NOMOS GLASHÜTTE 2026, Small Seconds 0

Nomos Glashütte continues to expand its accessible mechanical lineup with two new additions to the Club Campus collection: the Full Rose and All Olive. Designed as entry points into mechanical watchmaking while retaining the brand’s signature in-house craftsmanship, these new references introduce bold yet refined colour palettes paired with a subtle technical upgrade.

Case and Proportions

The stainless steel case remains consistent with the established Club Campus design language. Available in two sizes—36 mm and 38.50 mm—the watches maintain a slim profile, ranging from approximately 8.10 mm to 8.50 mm in thickness. The long, gently curved lugs ensure a comfortable fit on a variety of wrist sizes, reinforcing the collection’s everyday versatility.

A defining feature of the Campus line is the closed caseback, intentionally left blank to allow for personal engravings—making these watches particularly suited for commemorative occasions. For those who prefer a view of the movement, selected references are also available with a sapphire crystal caseback. Water resistance is rated at 100 metres, adding practical durability to the minimalist design.

Distinctive Dial Execution

The dial remains one of the most recognizable elements of the Club Campus collection. Its California-style layout combines Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, and baton markers, resulting in a display that is both unconventional and highly legible.

The All Olive version is defined by its deep green dial, contrasted with pink minute numerals and yellow outlines surrounding the hour markers, creating a dynamic yet balanced colour composition. In contrast, the Full Rose edition adopts a warm pink tone that feels both soft and expressive, offering a more playful and contemporary character.

Across both models, white Super-LumiNova is applied to the numerals, emitting a blue glow in low-light conditions, while rhodium-plated hands ensure optimal legibility. The recessed small seconds subdial positioned above 6 o’clock is completed with a neon orange hand, a signature detail that reinforces the youthful identity of the Campus collection.

Updated In-House Movement

A notable evolution in these models is the transition to the DUW 4001 calibre, replacing the previously used Alpha movement. This hand-wound movement measures just 2.60 mm in thickness and delivers an improved power reserve of approximately 53 hours.

The DUW 4001 incorporates Nomos’ proprietary swing system, identifiable by its blued hairspring, and features a stop-seconds mechanism for precise time-setting. Its construction follows traditional Glashütte watchmaking principles, including a three-quarter plate architecture, Glashütte ribbing, perlage, and heat-blued screws. Regulation is performed in six positions, ensuring reliable timekeeping performance.

Straps and Pricing

Both models are fitted with vegan velour straps that complement their respective dial tones. The Full Rose version is paired with a beige strap that enhances its warm aesthetic, while the All Olive model comes on an anthracite strap, reinforcing its more understated and utilitarian feel.

Pricing remains aligned with the collection’s accessible positioning. The 36 mm models are priced at € 1,420 with a closed caseback and € 1,640 with a sapphire display back. For the larger 38.50 mm versions, prices are set at € 1,560 for the solid caseback option and € 1,780 for models equipped with a visible movement.

Three New Tuxedo Dials Define The Latest Millesime Small Seconds

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, RAYMOND WEIL 2026, Sector Dial, Small Seconds 0

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Raymond Weil expands the award-winning Millesime Small Seconds collection with a series of elegant, tuxedo-inspired dial variations. First introduced in 2023, the model quickly gained industry recognition and went on to win the Challenge Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, cementing its place in the accessible luxury category.

With these new references, Raymond Weil builds on that strong foundation, focusing on refined design and colour expression while preserving the mechanical and dimensional identity that made the original so well regarded.

A Contemporary Interpretation of the Tuxedo Dial

In watchmaking, a “tuxedo dial” traditionally refers to a high-contrast sector layout, often executed in black and white to emphasize structure and legibility. The latest Millesime Small Seconds models embrace this concept through clearly separated dial zones that enhance visual balance.

All references share the collection’s signature sector architecture, where a contrasting outer minute scale frames a distinct hour ring, and a central area incorporates a recessed small seconds counter. Applied hour markers and precisely printed timing scales add definition and clarity to the face, creating a display that feels both classic and contemporary without compromising readability.

Three Distinct Colour Expressions

The first and most traditional interpretation delivers the classic black-and-white execution associated with the tuxedo dial. A stark white minute scale encircles a bold black hour ring, while the centre returns to white around the small seconds subdial, resulting in a crisp and formal presence on the wrist.

Next is a midnight blue version paired with a black hour ring. In this configuration, the contrast is more subtle, yielding a refined, versatile look. White numerals and scales stand out clearly against the darker tones, making this variant particularly adaptable for both dress and everyday contexts.

The third alternative introduces a “red grape” burgundy dial accented by a light grey hour ring. This warmer colour combination adds visual depth and personality to the sector layout, offering a contemporary-leaning option that still honors the watch’s structured aesthetic.

Case Design and Finishing

Mechanically and dimensionally, the new references follow the established formula of the Millesime Small Seconds. Each watch is housed in a 39 mm stainless steel case — a size that balances modern proportions with classic dress watch sensibilities. The case features alternating brushed and polished surfaces across the bezel, caseband, and lugs, adding visual interest while maintaining a refined profile.

A sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the automatic movement within, giving a view of the mechanism that powers the watch.

Calibre RW4251

Inside each new Millesime Small Seconds beats the automatic Calibre RW4251, a reliable Swiss movement based on a Sellita platform. It offers approximately 41 hours of power reserve and dependable daily performance, helping the collection retain strong value for a mechanically driven timepiece.

Pricing and Positioning

The new tuxedo dial editions are offered exclusively on leather straps and follow the same pricing structure as the original model. In current market terms, the Millesime Small Seconds is positioned just above the CHF 2,000 mark, with the tuxedo variants retailing at CHF 2,075. This price point places the watch firmly in the accessible luxury segment, making it an enticing choice for collectors seeking Swiss mechanical quality and distinctive design without a premium price tag.

Expanding a Proven Formula

These new additions don’t redefine the Millesime Small Seconds; rather, they broaden its appeal by introducing fresh visual options that cater to different tastes. By offering classic, understated, and bold colour expressions within the same structured sector dial framework, Raymond Weil gives collectors more ways to find a version that aligns with their personal style — whether that means tradition, subtlety, or flair.

Ultimately, the expanded collection reinforces the Millesime Small Seconds as a balanced blend of thoughtful design, mechanical integrity, and accessible pricing.

From Blue And Green To Snow Camo: Yema’s New Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, YEMA 2026, Integrated Bracelet, Limited Edition, Micro-Rotor, Small Seconds, Sport Watch 0

French independent watchmaker Yema continues to strengthen its manufacture-focused portfolio with the Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds CMM.29. Building on the Wristmaster collection introduced in 2024, this new reference integrates a small seconds complication into the brand’s angular, integrated-bracelet sports watch architecture, while also introducing new dial finishes and a distinctive limited edition known as the Snow Camo.

Rather than dramatically altering the design language, Yema refines the concept through proportion, finishing, and mechanical development—resulting in a slim, contemporary sports watch with clear technical credentials.

Slim Proportions and Integrated Design

The Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds retains the sharp case geometry and integrated bracelet that define the collection. The case measures 39 mm in diameter and stands just 9 mm thick, dimensions that give the watch a balanced presence on the wrist without feeling oversized. The notably slim profile enhances comfort and makes it particularly versatile, allowing it to transition easily from everyday office wear to more formal settings where it can slip neatly beneath a shirt cuff.

The integrated bracelet continues the angular lines of the case, creating a cohesive silhouette that emphasizes the modern sports-luxury character of the model.

A Reworked Dial with Small Seconds Display

To accommodate the small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, Yema redesigned the dial layout with careful attention to symmetry and legibility. The hour marker at 9 o’clock has been removed entirely to make space for the subdial, while the markers at 8 and 10 o’clock have been slightly reduced in size to maintain visual balance. At 12 o’clock, the previously used Arabic numeral has been replaced with a double baton marker, helping the dial feel cleaner and less crowded despite the added complication.

The two core collection models are offered in blue and green, both featuring a subtle vertical brushed finish. This texture adds depth and dynamism to the dial surface, interacting attractively with light while maintaining a refined, contemporary look.

The Snow Camo Limited Edition

Alongside the standard models, Yema introduces a 100-piece limited edition known as the Snow Camo. Structurally identical to the core versions, this edition stands out through its elaborate surface treatment. Nearly every visible surface of the case and bracelet has been laser-finished to create nuanced variations in grey and silver tones, producing a camouflage-like pattern. Only the polished bevels of the case and bezel remain smooth, providing contrast and highlighting the watch’s angular construction.

The same laser finishing extends to the dial, reinforcing the cohesive aesthetic. The resulting appearance evokes icy, arctic-inspired tones, giving the Snow Camo edition a distinctive personality within the collection.

Manufacture Calibre CMM.29

Powering the Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds is the Manufacture Morteau Calibre CMM.29, an evolution of Yema’s ultra-slim micro-rotor platform. This automatic movement enables the watch to maintain its impressive 9mm thickness while delivering robust technical performance. It offers a power reserve of 70 hours and operates within an accuracy range of -3 to +7 seconds per day.

The movement is visible through a sapphire caseback, and finishing differs depending on the version. The core blue and green models feature radial Geneva waves, while the Snow Camo edition receives a frosted finish that echoes the textured exterior treatment.

Pricing and Positioning

The Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds in blue or green joins the permanent collection at a price of € 2,249, while the Snow Camo limited edition of 100 pieces is priced at € 2,399. Within the competitive integrated-bracelet sports watch segment, the combination of slim proportions, in-house micro-rotor movement, and distinctive finishing positions the CMM.29-powered Wristmaster as a strong offering from Yema’s growing manufacture lineup.

With this release, Yema further demonstrates its evolution into a fully-fledged independent manufacture, pairing technical substance with contemporary design execution.

Final Thoughts

The arrival of the small seconds complication in Yema’s integrated-bracelet sports watch feels like a natural and well-judged evolution—one that mirrors a broader trend seen across the industry. More importantly, the integration of the brand’s in-house micro-rotor movement, allowing for a notably slim case profile, confirms a coherent strategy that Yema has been consistently applying across several of its collections.

The two permanent models, offered with green and blue dials, stand out for their versatility. Their balanced aesthetics and restrained finishing make them suitable for daily wear, whether in professional or casual settings.

By contrast, the limited Snow Camo edition embraces a far more assertive personality. With its full “polar” camouflage treatment extending across the case, bracelet, and dial, it leans decisively toward a sportier and more stealth-oriented character. That stronger identity arguably makes it less versatile than its siblings—but, in our view, that is precisely its greatest appeal.

For just €150 more than the standard models, the Snow Camo offers not only a distinctive aesthetic but also the exclusivity of a 100-piece limited run. For collectors who value individuality within a contemporary integrated sports watch, this edition may well be the most compelling choice in the lineup.

Fears Looks Back To 1846 With A New Brunswick 40 Special Edition

MRSTATELESS FEARS, NEW RELEASES 2026, Limited Edition, Small Seconds, Sterling Silver 0

Fears has unveiled its first British Watchmakers’ Day special edition for 2026 with the Brunswick 40 ‘1846 Edition’, a watch that directly references the brand’s origins while remaining firmly rooted in its modern Brunswick collection. Produced exclusively for British Watchmakers’ Day, the model draws inspiration from one of the earliest Fears pocket watches made in the year the company was founded.

A historical reference

The designation “1846” refers to the year Edwin Fear established the Fears watchmaking business in Bristol, exactly 180 years before the 2026 event. The release also coincides with a decade since the contemporary revival of the brand in 2016. Rather than commemorating these milestones through overt branding, Fears has chosen to express its heritage through materials, proportions, and dial design.

Sterling silver case

The Brunswick 40 ‘1846 Edition’ is housed in a 40mm cushion-shaped case crafted from 925 sterling silver and hallmarked in London. Silver has historical relevance for the brand, as it was commonly used in early Fears pocket watches, and it has become a recurring theme for the brand’s British Watchmakers’ Day releases.

While the overall silhouette remains recognisably Brunswick—with its cushion profile, onion-style crown, and compact lugs—the case has been subtly reworked for improved wearability. The diameter remains 40 mm, while the lug-to-lug measurement extends slightly to 47 mm. Thickness has been reduced to 11.10 mm, making it slimmer than the standard steel Brunswick 40 and helping balance the visual presence typically associated with cushion cases.

Pocket-watch-inspired dial

The dial closely follows the layout of the 1846 pocket watch that inspired it. It features applied Roman numerals, a recessed and oversized small seconds subdial, and thermally blued spade-style hands. The proportions and typography are deliberately traditional, resulting in a display that prioritises legibility and historical accuracy rather than modern reinterpretation.

The enlarged small seconds register is a defining visual element, anchoring the lower half of the dial and reinforcing the pocket-watch aesthetic that underpins the entire design.

Manual-winding movement

Powering the watch is the La Joux-Perret G121M manual-winding movement. It offers a 60-hour power reserve and was selected in part for its small seconds placement, which allows the subdial to sit further from the centre and maintain the oversized layout seen on the dial. The movement is concealed behind a closed caseback, which is engraved with individual edition numbering.

Limited availability

As a British Watchmakers’ Day exclusive, the Brunswick 40 ‘1846 Edition’ is limited to 25 pieces. The watch will be available for purchase exclusively at the event on March 7, 2026. Pricing is set at GBP 4,350.

With its historically faithful dial, sterling silver case, and restrained mechanical specification, the Fears Brunswick 40 ‘1846 Edition’ serves as a material-focused tribute to the brand’s early years while remaining consistent with the design language of its modern collection.

Maurice De Mauriac Presents The Final Chapter Of The Rallymaster

MRSTATELESS MAURICE DE MAURIAC, NEW RELEASES 2026, Limited Edition, Small Seconds 0

Maurice de Mauriac continues its collaboration with Racquet magazine and designer Carlton DeWoody with the release of the Rallymaster IV, the latest and final chapter in the brand’s tennis-inspired Rallymaster series. Timed to coincide with the Australian Open, this limited edition introduces a notably different visual direction while retaining the core specifications that defined earlier Rallymaster models.

Case and Construction

The Rallymaster IV is housed in a 39 mm stainless steel case, maintaining the same dimensions of previous iterations. It measures 47 mm lug-to-lug with a 12 mm thickness, proportions that suit both daily wear and active use. For this edition, the case is finished with a matte black PVD coating, giving the watch a stealthier appearance compared to the lighter tones of earlier Rallymasters.

The case is paired with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown, contributing to a 100-meter water resistance rating. A notable functional detail is the inclusion of a date magnifier integrated into the sapphire crystal, a feature that improves legibility while adding a distinctive design element.

Dial Design and Legibility

The dial retains the Rallymaster’s signature layout, most notably the small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, but introduces a far more high-contrast color palette. Set against a dark background that visually blends with the black case, the dial features neon pink and blue accents, applied primarily to the segmented small seconds display.

These colors reference tennis court lighting and night matches, while also creating strong visual separation between dial elements. Hour markers, hands, and graphic outlines are rendered in a restrained monochrome style to preserve clarity. For low-light conditions, the dial’s linework is treated with blue Super-LumiNova, ensuring consistent legibility after dark.

Movement and Caseback

Powering the Rallymaster IV is the Swiss automatic movement Landeron 24. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.

The movement is visible through a smoked sapphire exhibition caseback, decorated with tennis-themed graphics. A central tennis ball motif is surrounded by a racquet pattern, both rendered in the same neon tones found on the dial. The date wheel is color-matched in black with white numerals for visual consistency.

Straps and Accessories

The Rallymaster IV is delivered with two interchangeable straps, both equipped with a quick-release system. The first is a black leather strap with ventilation holes, designed for everyday wear. The second option is a black stretch-fabric strap, intended for more active use and accented by a subtle luminescent stripe that echoes the dial’s nighttime theme.

Continuing the tradition of previous editions, the watch is accompanied by a limited-edition branded tennis ball, finished in black to match the overall aesthetic of the Rallymaster IV.

Price and Availability

The Maurice de Mauriac x Racquet Rallymaster IV is produced in a limited run of 100 pieces. Availability is restricted to the duration of the Australian Open, with sales taking place through the Maurice de Mauriac boutique in Zurich priced at CHF 2,400.

With its black PVD case, neon dial details, and proven mechanical foundation, the Rallymaster IV brings a more graphic and contemporary look to the Rallymaster line while preserving its practical sports-watch credentials.

The RGM 501 Teddy Baldassarre Edition In Detail

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, RGM 2026, Dress Watch, Guilloche, Small Seconds 0

The RGM 501 Teddy Baldassarre Edition is a collaborative timepiece developed by RGM Watch Company and watch retailer and content creator Teddy Baldassarre. Produced at RGM’s workshop in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, the watch combines American-based case and dial manufacturing with a Swiss-made automatic movement.

Case Design and Dimensions

The watch is housed in a newly developed stainless steel case that has not previously appeared in RGM’s regular collection. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case measures 39 mm in diameter, 11.30 mm in thickness, and 48 mm from lug to lug. Its design is defined by a stepped bezel, a box-style sapphire crystal, and a newly designed, slightly oversized crown. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters. On the reverse, a sapphire exhibition case back reveals the movement and is engraved with both RGM and Teddy Baldassarre branding, as well as a production number identifying the first batch of 25 pieces. The watch is delivered on a brown Jean Rousseau leather strap secured by a deployant clasp.

Guilloché Dial and Display Details

The dial is produced entirely in-house and showcases RGM’s expertise in traditional guilloché engraving. Two distinct hand-cut guilloché patterns are used, one covering the central dial surface and another reserved for the subsidiary seconds display positioned at 6 o’clock. Both sections are finished with blue galvanic plating and framed by silver chapter rings.

The minute track features black Breguet numerals, with the numerals at 3 and 9 o’clock inverted to accommodate the dial layout. Time is indicated by polished silver hour and minute hands with a hybrid leaf-and-sword profile, while dial text is kept deliberately minimal, displaying only the RGM Watch Co. signature.

Movement and Finishing

Powering the watch is the RGM–Schwarz Etienne ASE 200 calibre, a Swiss-made automatic movement equipped with a micro-rotor. Designed to fill the entire case back opening, the movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and contains 33 jewels. It offers a substantial power reserve of approximately 86 hours. Finishing is carried out jointly by RGM and Schwarz Etienne and includes Geneva stripes, perlage, and refined detailing throughout the movement. The micro-rotor is decorated with a curved plaque referencing Lancaster, Pennsylvania, acknowledging the region’s historical importance in American watchmaking.

Price and Availability

The RGM 501 Teddy Baldassarre Edition is priced at USD 13,900. While the initial production consists of 25 pieces, the watch is positioned as a special edition rather than a strictly limited model.

Closing Overview

With its newly designed case, multi-piece hand-guilloché dial, and long-power-reserve micro-rotor movement, the RGM 501 Teddy Baldassarre Edition emphasizes RGM’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship combined with contemporary mechanical engineering.

IWC Introduces The Portugieser Automatic 42 Year Of The Horse

MRSTATELESS IWC, NEW RELEASES 2026, Fire Horse, Limited Edition, Lunar Year, Power Reserve, Small Seconds 0

IWC Schaffhausen introduces the Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse, a limited edition created to celebrate the start of the Year of the Horse on February 17, 2026. The model continues the brand’s established tradition of marking the Lunar New Year with special editions within the Portugieser collection.

The watch is housed in a 42.40 mm stainless steel case, preserving the elegant proportions and clean lines characteristic of the Portugieser design. It features a burgundy dial, a color closely associated with Lunar New Year celebrations and traditional symbolism. The dial layout follows the collection’s hallmark balance and clarity.

Gold-toned leaf-shaped hands, applied Arabic numerals, and matching indices stand out against the burgundy background. The display includes a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, a power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock with a galloping horse, and a date window at 6 o’clock, integrated discreetly to maintain visual symmetry.

Powering the timepiece is the IWC-manufactured Caliber 52011, an automatic movement designed for long autonomy and reliability. It features IWC’s Pellaton winding system, enhanced with ceramic components to improve efficiency and reduce wear. The movement stores energy in two barrels, delivering a substantial 7-day (168-hour) power reserve.

The movement can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back, revealing a distinctive detail exclusive to this edition: a gold-plated rotor shaped as a galloping horse, created specifically to reference the Lunar New Year theme.

The IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse is limited to 500 pieces worldwide and is priced at € 15,600.

A Touch Of Purple Heritage: The New Vulcain Grand Prix Petite Seconde

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, VULCAIN 2025, Limited Edition, Small Seconds 0

Vulcain marks one of the most significant achievements in its history with the launch of the Vulcain Grand Prix Petite Seconde Limited Edition, created to celebrate the prestigious award the brand won in 1929 at the Barcelona International Exhibition. This historic distinction now finds modern expression through a striking new aubergine dial, adding depth and personality to the Grand Prix collection.

A bold new color in two distinctive executions

The rich and mysterious purple hue introduces a fresh visual identity to the Grand Prix Petite Seconde, interacting beautifully with light while preserving the collection’s elegant character. Vulcain offers this new dial in two versions: a limited edition of just 25 pieces, distinguished by a refined silver small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, and a non-limited edition that embraces a fully monochromatic “all purple” aesthetic for a bolder statement.

Classic Grand Prix case design and proportions

Both versions are housed in the familiar 39 mm stainless steel case, measuring 12.70 mm in thickness, and finished with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces. A double-domed sapphire crystal enhances the vintage-inspired look, while the smooth bezel keeps the design clean and timeless. The watch features a fluted crown engraved with the Vulcain logo, a screwed solid case back, and offers 50 meters of water resistance, making it well suited for daily wear.

A refined dial layout with small seconds display

The domed aubergine dial features a sunburst finish, applied Arabic numerals, and polished hour and minute hands. At 6 o’clock sits a recessed small seconds sub-dial with a finely textured background, providing visual balance and a touch of classic watchmaking charm. A printed minute track runs along the periphery, while the Vulcain logo and Grand Prix designation are positioned at noon.

Automatic movement with modern reliability

Powering the Vulcain Grand Prix Petite Seconde is the Landeron 24S6 automatic movement, based on the L24 caliber. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and offers a 40-hour power reserve, delivering reliable performance in line with the collection’s everyday elegance.

Availability and pricing

The limited edition of 25 pieces, featuring the contrasting silver small seconds sub-dial, is priced at € 1,460. The non-limited all-purple version joins the permanent collection at € 1,390. Orders placed between December 19 and January 5 will be processed and shipped starting January 6.
