Watch Shopping: TAG Heuer Opens New SoHo Flagship in NYC
TAG Heuer has opened a new flagship boutique at 99 Prince Street in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, and it's one of the more deliberate retail moves we've seen from the brand recently. The boutique carries a curated selection of TAG Heuer's core pillar collections—Carrera, Monaco, and Formula 1—along with limited editions and recent novelties.
Introducing: Krayon X PAC-MAN—High Horology Goes Arcade
Krayon has spent nearly a decade building one of the most intellectually rigorous identities in independent watchmaking. From Everywhere to Anywhere to Anyday, every creation has orbited the same philosophical axis—man's relationship with natural light, celestial cycles, and the poetic mechanics of lived time.

From the Editor: The Dominique Renaud Pulse60—The Man Behind Renaud & Papi Launches His Namesake Watch and It Beats Once Per Second
For decades, Dominique Renaud was the watchmaker's watchmaker, the mind behind some of the most technically ambitious complications ever produced under other houses' names. Through the mythic Renaud & Papi manufacture, later acquired by Audemars Piguet, he became one of the most consequential movement architects of the modern era.
Introducing: UNIMATIC Modello Tre U3S-T-Automobili Amos X SEASE—All Titanium, All Purpose
UNIMATIC's collaboration playbook has always leaned toward cultural adjacency over pure horological flex— and the Modello Tre ref. U3S-T-AA (Automobili Amos), developed with Italian restomod house Automobili Amos and created exclusively for SEASE, is a clean expression of that instinct.
News: Wei Koh Named President of the GPHG Jury for 2026
The Foundation of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève has appointed Wei Koh—founder of Revolution and The Rake magazines—as President of its Jury for the 2026 edition, succeeding Nick Foulkes, who held the position from 2021 through 2025.
Introducing: Richard Mille RM 07-01 Colored Ceramics 2026—The Final Chapter
Five years ago, Richard Mille launched the first RM 07-01 Colored Ceramics, recontextualizing its signature feminine silhouette through the irreverent lens of 1980s Memphis Design. A second chapter followed in 2023. Now, Richard Mille closes the trilogy with The Final Chapter: three new RM 07-01 models that introduce gem-setting to the ceramic bezels and white gold casebands for the first time. Each is limited to 50 pieces.
Introducing: ArtyA Purity Moissanite Curvy Tourbillon—First Use of Silicon Carbide in Watchmaking
ArtyA is not a brand that plays by conventional rules. The Geneva-based independent house has built its identity on provocation, material experimentation, and a willingness to go places the mainstream Swiss industry simply won't. With the Purity Moissanite Curvy Tourbillon, it goes further than ever.
Introducing: Greubel Forsey Balancier Convexe S² in White Ceramic and Black Ceramic with 5N Red Gold—An 11-Piece Final Edition
Greubel Forsey is closing the book on the Balancier Convexe S² with two final ceramic editions, one in white, the other in black, featuring a 5N red gold bezel and case back. Each is limited to 11 timepieces, making them the most exclusive executions the S² has seen.
Introducing: Ralph Lauren 888 38 mm—On Bracelet and with a Swiss Quartz Calibre
The Ralph Lauren 888 collection continues to serve as the house's most classically proportioned watch family, and the new 38 mm reference doubles down on the formula: clean lines, traditional design codes, and a case size that reads as universally versatile. Available this April at select Ralph Lauren boutiques and authorized retailers, the 888 38 mm pairs a white lacquered dial with polished stainless steel and a Swiss quartz movement.
Experience: An INDYCAR Weekend with CVSTOS and Juncos Hollinger Racing at the Inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington
This past weekend, we were in Arlington, Texas, as guests of CVSTOS—the independent Swiss luxury watchmaker known for its bold engineering and avant-garde design—for the inaugural Java House Grand Prix of Arlington, the newest addition to the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar. CVSTOS serves as the Official Timekeeper of Juncos Hollinger Racing for the 2026 season.

Each week at WCL delivers editorial coverage across the spectrum of serious watch collecting—from industry analysis and new release evaluation to archival perspectives and manufacture insights. Weekend Reads curates the week's most substantial pieces: the editorials that reward deeper engagement and merit your weekend reading time. Five pieces worth your attention:
Perspective: One Month to Watches and Wonders 2026—What Our Predictions Tell You Before We're There
In thirty-two days, Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 opens its doors for its most ambitious edition yet, with 66 exhibiting brands. Seven days split between professional and public programming. A Montreux Jazz Festival partnership. And a roster headlined by a returning Audemars Piguet—back for the first time since walking away from SIHH in 2019—arriving during the brand's 150th anniversary year.
Breaking News: TAG Heuer Names Béatrice Goasglas as Global CEO—First Woman to Lead the Brand in 166 Years
LVMH has appointed Béatrice Goasglas as CEO of TAG Heuer, effective May 1, 2026. She becomes the first woman to lead the 166-year-old Swiss watchmaker, succeeding Antoine Pin, whose departure was announced in January after roughly 18 months in the role.
Introducing: Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Flying Bridges. Automatic Winding with Micro-Rotor at USD 590,000.
Girard-Perregaux has been on a roll since the release of the La Esmeralda Tourbillon “A Secret” Eternity Edition. Now comes the Minute Repeater Flying Bridges, the Manufacture's third new top-tier calibre in under six months—a pace that would be ambitious for any brand, let alone one building movements of this complexity entirely in-house.
From the Editor: Five Tourbillons That Defined the Past Twelve Months. Each One Answered a Different Question.
The tourbillon remains the most overused word in luxury watchmaking and, simultaneously, the complication most capable of separating genuine mechanical ambition from decoration. Almost every manufacture offers one, but very few deliver something really defining. Over the past twelve months, WCL has published coverage on dozens of tourbillon watches across every price segment and philosophy.
From the Archives: Visiting the Audemars Piguet Manufacture. What You Should Know Before AP Walks Into Watches and Wonders.
On April 14, Audemars Piguet will walk into Palexpo for the first time as an exhibitor at Watches and Wonders Geneva. For a manufacture that sat out the original SIHH for years before joining, then operated independently after the salon's dissolution, and now enters the reconstituted event on its own terms during its 150th anniversary year, the significance of the moment is hard to overstate.
Introducing: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026—Swaps Blue for Tri-Color
When Omega released its white ceramic Seamaster Diver 300M Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games in January, it established a compelling visual language for the brand's 32nd edition as Official Timekeeper. Now, as the Paralympic Winter Games open in Northern Italy—a role Omega has held since 1992—the manufacture extends that same design vocabulary to a dedicated Paralympic edition that differs in two deliberate ways.
