New releases from Awake, Formex, Richard Mille and more

Pietro Pilla

This past seven days have had rather different but fascinating watch releases. Breguet brought back a classic Souscription model in wristwatch form, while Christopher Ward went in a different direction with the successor to the popular Bel Canto, featuring a new free-sprung balance escapement. We also had Studio Underd0g giving a marketing masterclass on how to deal with ‘homage’ watches, Seiko giving us a taste of the 60s and many more. Discover the rest of our selection below and enjoy the reading!

Awake Jurassic Watch

Formex Essence Space Glacier

Seiko Presage Style60s

• The Seiko Presage Style60s collection captures the energy from that era of transition between dressier and sportier timepieces.

• To continue with the era’s aesthetic, it sold on an authentic ‘60s bracelet, with its thin connecting links and the 20mm lug width, making it a great strap monster.
