Frederique Constant Amour Heart Beat automatic ladies watch

Next month, Frederique Constant will present its new Amour Heart Beat line that was designed by the Chinese actress Shu Qi. If the name sounds familiar, it is alright: the young actress is known for her roles in Luc Besson's blockbuster 'The Transporter' and in the sequel to the horror movie 'The Eye.'

Inspired by Garbage Truck: Morpheus Passagen H.R. Giger

An American-based brand Atelier Morpheus has presented its second custom-made Passagen H.R. Giger.

Another “Homage”: Marcello C Hydrox Automatik

Marcello C Hydrox (ref. 2024.2K) automatic diving watch

Marcello C will soon start selling its new Hydrox Automatik (ref. 2024.2K) diving tool. Unlike many "lifestyle divers" from more established brands that shouldn't go lower than 100 meters, this one is rated for depths of up to 300 meters and comes in a modestly sized (at least, for a diver) body, which is available both in pure stainless steel and in more visually impressive PVD-treated steel (pictured above.)
