The design of the Tennet Somerset originates from the brand's desire to create a good, honest timepiece, with classic yet unique, modern and sporty aesthetics. Seemingly an elegant, simple watch at first glance, the Tennet Somerset reveals new details upon each inspection. The Tennet Somerset Moon has a timeless and versatile silverish-white dial. The Tennet Somerset features  a sector-like design, incorporating various textures and shapes. The result is the Tennet Somerset’s signature dial that is rich, layered and complex. The tear-drop indices on the dial form a motif which will remain iconic for Tennet watches in the years to come. Water stands for new life, vitality, hope and optimism, and the sinuous shape of the tear-drop is both elegant and dynamic. The “Delta” style hour and minute hands created also draw inspiration and synergy from the tear-drop indices on the dial, and allow minimal obstruction of the sunburst dial. Swiss Superluminova lume allows for easy time-reading in the dark, including colour-matching lumes for the minute hand and the index at 12 o’clock. The seconds hand features a coloured tip, again in the tear-drop silhouette, and allows for instinctive reading of time. The Tennet Somerset Moon is paired with a black tip for a classy look. The watch case comes with flared lugs, reminiscent of vintage horn lugs of iconic timepieces, allow for a sporty aesthetic, while maintaining an elegant silhouette. This is a watch that is meant to be worn not just in the boardroom but also out in the field as a polyvalent instrument. The crown is a labour of love. Being a manual-winding watch, Tennet wanted a grippy crown, without the boring knurled aesthetic of many other watches. Many iterations were discarded prior to this final design - a faceted crown featuring multiple “Domino” holds. The red dot at the side of the crown is also a tribute to our origins, being from Singapore, a country many call the “Little Red Dot”. The caseback reveals the beating heart of the watch: Tennet's customised venerable SW210 manual-winding movement, a reliable and capable movement used in many high-end timepieces. Tennet utilised a top grade movement, which is fully decorated, with Côtes de Genève stripes, perlage on the base plates, and heat-blued screws. The wheel bridge also features Tennet's visual logo, an 8-pointed star, which alludes to the brand's clarity of purpose and direction, and is also a symbol of protection, strength and energy. The circumference of the caseback features Tennet's brand and product names, motto for this model, namely the indomitable and fearless spirit of Nolite Timere as well as the reference number of each Tennet watch. Each Tennet Somerset watch comes paired with a colour-synergistic full leather strap exclusively crafted for the brand by acclaimed Singaporean strap retailer, Delugs. Tennet's straps feature a quick-change function to allow for easy strap swaps to change the look of your timepiece.

The Oris x Cervo Volante Big Crown Pointer Date Burgundy 40mm brings together one of Swiss watchmaking's most recognisable heritage designs and a contemporary approach to responsible craftsmanship. Its rich burgundy dial provides a striking backdrop to the signature central pointer date hand, while the 40mm stainless-steel case preserves the distinctive proportions of the Big Crown collection. Created in collaboration with Swiss leather specialist Cervo Volante, the watch is fitted with a strap made from sustainably sourced and naturally tanned deer leather. A matching Cervo Volante travel pouch completes the presentation. Powered by Oris Calibre 754-1, it combines mechanical tradition with materials chosen for their character and provenance. Inspiration & Design First introduced in 1938, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date was originally developed with an oversized crown that could be operated easily by pilots wearing gloves. Its distinctive central date hand, which points to a numbered scale around the dial, has remained a defining feature of the collection. For this edition, Oris revisits its collaboration with Cervo Volante, a Swiss company specialising in responsibly sourced deer leather. The partnership introduces a natural material that complements the watch's vintage-inspired design while reflecting a shared interest in responsible production. The deep burgundy dial reinforces this connection to nature, with its warm, earthy tone providing an elegant contrast to the stainless-steel case. Together, these details create a watch that feels rooted in tradition without being confined by it. Dial & Case The Big Crown Pointer Date features a rich burgundy dial, complemented by the collection's signature central date hand. Rather than displaying the date through a conventional aperture, the pointer hand indicates the current date against a numbered scale around the dial's perimeter, preserving the distinctive character of the original design. The 40mm multi-piece stainless-steel case incorporates the familiar oversized crown and fluted bezel associated with the Big Crown collection. A sapphire crystal, domed on both sides and treated with an internal anti-reflective coating, protects the dial. The screwed stainless-steel caseback features special engravings, completing the watch's heritage-inspired construction. With 50 metres of water resistance, the watch is suited to everyday wear. Movement The watch is powered by Oris Calibre 754-1, a Swiss automatic mechanical movement. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), it provides a 41-hour power reserve. The movement drives central hours, minutes and seconds, together with the signature pointer date hand. An instantaneous date-change mechanism, date corrector and stop-seconds function provide additional everyday practicality. Bracelet / Strap The watch is fitted with a Cervo Volante deer-leather strap, made from sustainably sourced Swiss deer leather using natural tanning processes. Its supple texture and individual surface characteristics complement the warmth of the burgundy dial and the vintage-inspired stainless-steel case. As deer leather is a natural material, each strap carries subtle variations in grain, texture and markings. These characteristics are part of its individuality, ensuring that no two straps are exactly alike. The watch also includes a Cervo Volante deer-leather travel pouch, extending the collaboration's emphasis on responsible material sourcing and practical craftsmanship. Final Thoughts The Oris x Cervo Volante Big Crown Pointer Date Burgundy brings a distinctive material story to one of the brand's most enduring designs. Its rich burgundy dial and signature pointer date display celebrate the collection's heritage, while the naturally tanned deer-leather strap introduces a contemporary perspective on responsible craftsmanship. With its versatile 40mm case, reliable Swiss automatic movement and accompanying Cervo Volante travel pouch, it is a considered choice for collectors who appreciate traditional watchmaking with an individual character.

The Shanghai Watch The Bund Magic Formula Yilan (漪澜), reference S7003.2407.031.08, reimagines the conventional watch display through a wandering-hours mechanism. Three transparent discs are suspended around the centre of the dial, each carrying four hour numerals. The discs rotate individually while simultaneously orbiting the central axis. When the relevant hour reaches the 120-degree minute sector across the upper portion of the dial, its position against the scale indicates the minutes. The result is a watch in continual motion - an unconventional yet readable approach to timekeeping that turns the mechanism itself into a central part of the design. Inspiration & Design For the Magic Formula Celestial series, Shanghai Watch turns to water and clouds, two longstanding auspicious motifs within Chinese visual culture. Yilan takes its inspiration from water. Traditional wave patterns are arranged across the dial in overlapping concentric semicircles, evoking ripples spreading across the surface of water. Shanghai Watch associates the motif with continuity and enduring good fortune. The blue-green colour palette reinforces that aquatic inspiration, while the wandering-hours mechanism brings a distinctly contemporary dimension to the composition. Rather than reproducing a historical design, Yilan uses traditional imagery as the foundation for a modern mechanical watch. Dial & Case The blue-green fumé dial transitions from lighter tones towards a deeper outer edge and is finished with a sunray effect that responds dynamically to changing light. Layered across its surface is the traditional water-wave motif, formed from repeating concentric semicircles. Above it, three transparent hour discs form the wandering-hours mechanism, with the active hour moving across a 120-degree minute scale to indicate the time. The case is constructed from 316L stainless steel with a rose-gold PVD finish, measuring 41.5mm in diameter and 13.7mm thick. An anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, while water resistance is rated to 5ATM. Movement Yilan is powered by Shanghai Watch's FWS-F01 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz). The movement uses 28 jewels and delivers up to 38 hours of power reserve when fully wound. It can be viewed through the full sapphire exhibition caseback. Shanghai Watch finishes the movement with fish-scale decoration across the bridges and linear finishing on the signed rotor, adding visual interest to the mechanical side of the watch. Bracelet / Strap Yilan is paired with a 20mm brown leather strap, adding warmth against the blue-green dial and rose-gold-tone case. The strap uses a butterfly clasp and quick-release construction, allowing it to be removed without conventional spring-bar tools. Final Thoughts Yilan takes the mechanical theatre of the Magic Formula wandering-hours display and gives it a warmer, more expressive personality. The interplay between blue-green fumé, traditional water-wave imagery and the rose-gold-tone case makes this the more colourful of the two Celestial interpretations. More importantly, those decorative elements aren't disconnected from the watch's mechanical concept: both the rippling dial and orbiting hour discs are built around movement. For collectors looking at contemporary Shanghai Watch beyond its heritage-inspired pieces, Yilan offers a particularly distinctive expression of where the brand is heading. Technical Specifications Case size: 41.5mm  Case material: 316L stainless steel, rose gold PVD Case back: Sapphire, exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: FWS-F01 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial:  Blue-green fumé sunray dial with water-wave motif; wandering hours with 120° minute scale Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Brown calf leather Buckle: Stainless steel, rose gold PVD deployant clasp Warranty: 2 years

The Shanghai Watch The Bund Magic Formula Xuanyun (玄云), reference S7003.2412.011.08, rethinks the conventional relationship between hands, numerals and the dial. Its wandering-hours display places three transparent hour discs around the centre of the watch. Each carries four hour numerals and rotates on its own axis while simultaneously orbiting the central mechanism. As the active hour enters the 120-degree minute sector across the upper portion of the dial, its position along the scale indicates the minutes. The result is a display in constant motion: mechanically expressive, visually distinctive and surprisingly intuitive once its logic becomes familiar. Inspiration & Design For the Magic Formula Celestial series, Shanghai Watch draws upon water and clouds, two recurring auspicious motifs within traditional Chinese visual culture. Xuanyun takes its inspiration from clouds. Its curling cloud pattern evokes forms associated with good fortune and upward progress, while the black mother-of-pearl beneath it introduces shifting iridescence as the watch catches the light. The traditional motif sits in deliberate contrast to the contemporary architecture of the wandering-hours mechanism. Rather than recreating a historical watch, Shanghai Watch uses established Chinese decorative language within a thoroughly modern mechanical composition. Dial & Case The black dial uses mother-of-pearl marquetry to form an auspicious cloud pattern. Its natural iridescence changes subtly with viewing angle and light, allowing the pattern and colour of the dial to continually shift. Above it, three transparent hour discs form the wandering-hours mechanism. Each disc carries four numerals and both rotates independently and orbits the centre of the dial. The active hour travels across a 120-degree minute scale, allowing the time to be read from the numeral's position within the sector. The case is made from 316L stainless steel and measures 41.5mm in diameter and 13.7mm thick. An anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal covers the dial, while water resistance is rated to 5ATM. Movement The watch is powered by Shanghai Watch's FWS-F01 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) with 28 jewels and up to 38 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Through the full sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement reveals fish-scale finishing across the bridges and linear finishing on the rotor, which is also signed with the Shanghai Watch name. Here, the movement is more than an engine hidden behind the dial: it provides the mechanical foundation for the wandering-hours display that defines the watch. Bracelet / Strap Xuanyun is fitted with a 20mm black leather strap, keeping the overall presentation restrained against the iridescent black dial. It is equipped with a butterfly clasp and quick-release construction, allowing the strap to be removed without conventional spring-bar tools. Final Thoughts Magic Formula Xuanyun works because its unusual display isn't simply decorative. The wandering-hours mechanism fundamentally changes how the watch communicates time, giving the constantly moving dial a purpose beyond visual theatre. Black mother-of-pearl and the auspicious cloud motif then give that mechanical architecture a distinctly Chinese identity. It is a strong example of Shanghai Watch looking forward rather than relying solely on its considerable historical archive. Technical Specifications Case size: 41.5mm  Case material: 316L stainless steel Case back: Sapphire, exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: FWS-F01 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial:  Black mother-of-pearl marquetry with auspicious cloud motif; wandering hours with 120° minute scale Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Black calf leather Buckle: Stainless steel deployant clasp Warranty: 2 years
