Scottish Watches Podcast #752 : The Latest and Greatest New Watches From Around The World

February 12

54 mins

Episode Description

We start with the Watch Ho & Co x Selten Bohinia limited edition, featuring CNC-engraved mother-of-pearl dials inspired by the Hong Kong flag, heat-treated hands, and a Miyota 9039 automatic movement at an accessible price point. From there, we break down Breitling’s new Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team Edition in titanium, examining the end of the Gerard-Perregaux partnership and if this lives up to those collaborations.

We also explore the Slim d’Hermès Squelette Lune in titanium and platinum, analysing its micro-rotor Vaucher movement, skeletonised architecture, and moonphase complication, before turning to Orient Star’s 75th anniversary collection, including meteorite dials, revived 1964 diver heritage models, and high-value Japanese mechanical watchmaking. Beyond new releases, we discuss the expansion of Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the continued growth of the $17 billion secondary watch market (with Rolex dominating pre-owned sales), and rumours surrounding a potential Jaeger-LeCoultre management buyout from Richemont.

We also look at the Studio Underd0g “Guava” limited edition and its move toward full UK assembly, plus the ultra-premium G-Shock MRG titanium Phoenix edition priced at $8,000.
