New releases from Credor, Hublot, Kurono and more

Pietro Pilla

Happy New Year, everyone! New releases were put on hold during the Christmas period, as those wishing to purchase a watch had already made their decision before the end of the year. However, we are here again. We begin 2026 with a strong influence from Japan, but from very different perspectives. Credor draws inspiration from the country’s heritage and craftsmanship, utilising a multi-layered ceramic dial. Hublot collaborates with a leading avant-garde Japanese fashion designer, and Kurono focuses on simplicity and meticulous attention to detail. At the same time, we’ve also seen quite a few releases celebrating the Lunar New Year of the Horse. Discover the rest of the selection below and enjoy the reading!
