2026 Watch Releases and What's Next!

Описание: What happens when the quiet precision of a high-temperature firing kiln meets the loud, speculative frenzy of the secondary market? We find ourselves in 2026, a year where brands are preparing to celebrate history with precious metal shells and hiked-up price tags. Behind the curtains of the Grand Exhibition in Milan and the high-rise windows of Geneva, a conflict is brewing between engineering substance and artificial scarcity.
Imagine the tactile warmth of Mitsuru Yokosawa's white enamel dials or the sub-millimeter precision of Imari Nabeshima porcelain. These are the honest antidotes to the corporate flex. Yet, the air is thick with whispers of a 'Rolex 100' or a Tudor centennial chronograph that may never leave the drawing board. We are sifting through the noise of the dealer-driven flex tantrum to find the real value. Is the movement beneath the dial a genuine milestone, or just a convenient narrative to move a limited run? The answers lie within the gear train efficiency and the literal horsehide of a Cordovan strap, far away from the marketing smoke. Join us as we dismantle the theater to find the soul of the machine.
