Albishorn Thundergraph Himalaya
For its newest launch, Albishorn has constructed on its Kind 10 to examine the proper look ahead to the 2 1952 Swiss Everest expeditions. The Thundergraph Himalaya has the classic vibe of the Kind 10, itself a hypothetical ancestor of Kind 20 chronos, however options two important adjustments. The motion is the brand new ALB03, a proprietary hand-wound motion with 65 hours of energy reserve however with out the ALB02’s operate indicator. Presumably tailor-made for the numb fingers of any climber making an attempt to summit Everest in 1952, Albishorn enlarged the bezel to make it 1 mm wider and .5 mm taller. The watch makes use of Roman numerals with gold surrounds and matching palms towards a blue dial, and the chronograph is operated by a big, textured purple pusher at 9:30. The most important query is whether or not this may be thought of a California dial; the decrease markers are left off to permit for the subdials, so it’s not possible to inform! Name it a Schrödinger dial. Priced at CHF 3,650 and restricted to 99 items. More info at Albishorn.
Brew X Worn & Wound Metric Chrono Regulator Lumint
Right here’s a little bit of quirky package: a quartz chronograph regulator with a totally lumed dial. That’s precisely what Brew has performed in its first collaboration with our buddies over at Worn and Wound. This new, glowing tackle the Brew Metric does a bit extra than simply lume the dial. The conventional Metric eliminates the 24-hour subdial at 2 for a clear however uneven look, however the Regulator reintroduces it as the first hour hand, splitting the same old 24-hour scale into two 12-hour halves with a lollipop hand. Solely two central palms stay: the minutes and the chronograph seconds. Rings radiate from the hours subdial, offering some texture on the stark white dial, whereas the two o’clock have been executed in a gun steel end. My solely gripe is using lume on the palms and indices: There’s no want when the dial itself is totally lumed, as strong parts would offer essentially the most distinction. Priced at $549 USD and restricted to 500 items. More info at Worn & Wound’s Windup Watch Shop.
Erwin Sattler Chronograph III S
Greatest recognized for its distinctive clocks, German model Erwin Sattler has simply launched its newest wristwatch, the Chronograph III S.

Krayon Anyday
Indie model Krayon is again with the Anyday, bringing one other novel complication to its already spectacular lineup.

The show appears to make it a snap to see what day of the week an upcoming date will fall on (together with the primary 4 days of the subsequent month), making planning a snap. The Anyday is powered by the hand-wound in-house Caliber C032, with a 72-hour energy reserve and which is hand adorned, together with the bonkers wave sample; the day-date operate is achieved with a two-cam system, one every for the day and date discs.
