In this issue

This Oct-Dec Issue happens to be the last ‘main’ issue of 2025. Therefore, this is the one where we look back at the watch industry and take stock of how the year has been, while spotlighting all that looks promising for 2026.

On the cover we have the Rado Captain Cook Hi-Tech Ceramic Chronograph, a modern evolution of a bold icon featuring the brand’s signature high-tech ceramic. For the story, we spoke to CEO Adrian Bosshard on the brand’s strategy to balance innovation with heritage. In another feature, we picks the milestone watches of the year, and also report on the three brands/watches with Indian roots that made it to the GPHG 2025’s nominations’ long list, marking a major moment for India on the global watchmaking stage. As H. Moser & Cie. opens the doors to its first standalone boutique in India, we spoke with CEO Edouard Meylan, who shared insights into the brand’s growing global presence and most loved pieces. Young designers literally reshaping time with boundary-pushing forms; the ascent of Longines Zulu Time in aviation; Nivada Grenchen's remarkable journey and comeback; and an up-close look at the microbrand Arty A - the issue packs a punch and more. We’ve also peeled back the layers on two hugely popular watches — the Nomos Glashuette Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer and Tudor Black Bay Pro. Finally, track the history of the jump hour complication along with highlighting the resurgence of the iconic brand, Urban Jurgensen.
