Albishorn’s newest limited release takes the brand’s imaginary-vintage idea into Himalayan expedition territory. The Thundergraph Khumbu pairs a COSC-regulated Swiss automatic movement with a tightly controlled run of just 99 pieces, and it’s exactly the kind of watch that reminds you how much personality still exists in the indie scene.
Furlan Marri’s cult-favorite mechaquartz chronograph has gone cosmic with a genuine meteorite dial. It’s the kind of microbrand move that makes an already compelling platform feel far more collectible.
Kiwame Tokyo has moved fast from newcomer to collector talking point, and the Mune shows why. The young Japanese microbrand’s latest design channels architectural restraint into a watch that has already sold through at $690.
Venezianico’s Arsenale just became a more serious daily watch with the arrival of the Arsenale Calendario. The Venice-based brand has added a complete calendar, power reserve display and day-night indication while keeping the sharp integrated-bracelet profile intact.

Belvans didn’t just drop a new watch, it staged a week-long chase with a gentleman-thief twist. Behind the cinematic launch is the Daylee, a 38mm French-made daily watch with a La Joux-Perret movement and genuinely ambitious specs.
