In case you missed it
Lake Como’s most elegant concours has a watchmaking flourish that collectors genuinely care about. For 2026, A. Lange & Söhne marked the Best of Show winner with a unique Lange 1 Time Zone Como Edition, linking one of the world’s great car events with Glashütte craft.
Omega’s newest 007 watch takes the Seamaster Diver 300M in a more instrument-led direction. The chronograph format gives this Bond-linked release a practical edge, while the 007 First Light connection adds a fresh chapter to one of watchmaking’s most recognisable screen partnerships.
Richemont closed its 2025/26 financial year with double-digit sales growth at constant exchange rates, even as the wider watch market stayed uneven. The standout driver was jewellery, while the group’s top-tier watchmakers showed signs of improvement late in the year.
Union Glashütte’s latest Noramis Date leans hard into air-cooled car culture with a dial that looks straight off a classic Porsche-era Fuchs wheel. Limited to just 200 pieces, the Petro Surf 2026 edition mixes German watchmaking restraint with a darker, more rebellious surf-and-garage mood.
MB&F’s Legacy Machine Perpetual has always been one of independent watchmaking’s most theatrical calendar watches. Now it gets a more architectural kind of drama, with three limited Chromatic Editions set with baguette-cut sapphires or rubies.

The former Kross Studio watch line has a new name and a sharper flagship. The Marco Tedeschi MT1.1 Tourbillon 7 Jours keeps the wild crownless architecture, adds a useful power reserve display, and arrives in four sharply different case materials.
Sero Watch Co’s Silver Signature is a slim, restrained microbrand watch with a silver sunray dial, heat-blued hands and old-world numerals. It’s the kind of piece that makes a rotation feel more complete without shouting for attention.
Christopher Ward’s C63 Sealander family just got its most travel-focused upgrade yet. The new True GMT takes the brand’s everyday sports-watch formula and adds the kind of functionality frequent flyers usually have to pay much more to get.
Motors & LUXURY
Monaco sees supercars every day, but a Pagani Huayra Codalunga gliding through town still feels like an event. The long-tail hypercar looked even better away from a concours lawn, moving quietly through the streets with all the drama built into its shape.
Rhodes has the history, the sunsets and the summer festival energy, but the right hotel makes the island feel even easier. The Ixian Grand & All Suites puts an all-inclusive five-star stay on Ixia Bay within quick reach of Rhodes Town.
The Oasis reunion wasn’t just a tour, it was a family-level event for anyone who grew up with those songs in the house. The new Oasis Live ’25 Opus turns that moment into a monumental photographic keepsake, from an accessible hardback to a 70 kg collector’s edition built like rock history.
The Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing is no longer just a modern AMG hero with dramatic doors. Three early examples have crossed the auction block in the US for a combined figure just shy of seven digits, underlining how seriously collectors are now taking Affalterbach’s naturally aspirated flagship.
Queenstown gets the fame, the flights and the full-throttle itinerary. Wānaka is quieter, roomier and often the place travellers wish they’d booked for longer.
Mercedes-Benz has electrified its most important nameplate, and this time the message is far more direct. The new C-Class EQ keeps familiar sedan proportions, adds a more confident electric identity and aims straight at everyday premium EV buyers.
A 320-mile Maserati MC12 just sold for $9.46 million, putting one of the 2000s’ most theatrical supercars back in the spotlight. With Enzo-related engineering, a 630 hp V12 and its unmistakable Bianco Fuji over Blu Victory finish, this is the kind of car that makes collectors lean forward.
Dodge has dropped a shadowy preview of what looks like its next serious muscle car, and the silhouette is anything but subtle. A giant rear wing, swollen bodywork and fresh SRT rumors suggest something far more aggressive than a regular Charger is brewing.
