The master of materials is bringing two new vibes to one of its most impressive timepieces. Released last year, the Hublot MP-10 had an instant wow factor, even for those who didn’t care for the brand (which, according to preliminary 2025 ABTW survey data, most of you don’t).

I don’t think it would be a stretch to say that Parmigiani has found its stride and that the entirety of that stride is the Tonda PF collection. The sporty watch with a pseudo-integrated bracelet design makes up the vast majority of the brand’s offerings and is where you’ll find all of the various complications it offers. It’s no wonder, then, that it’s also home to the most affordable watch the brand offers, the Parmigiani Tonda PF Sport Automatic in steel.

The British masters of color are back at it again. Farer has released an entirely new collection of watches powered by handwound movements nestled in slim cases with dials full of color. As soon as you read Farer, though, you probably expected the rest. Farer is as well known for being a British brand as it is for its extensive use of color in every single model line it offers.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! It’s another edition of the biweekly horological extravaganza that is The Flyback! And what a roundup we’ve got for you this time. A Backes and Strauss unapologetically covered in a rainbow of gems, two Studio Underd0gs inspired by food, a Swatch inspired by a very specific kind of plant, and some stuff from Zenith and Breguet. Let’s not tarry too much, then.

I was surprised to see that we hadn’t covered Trafford Watch Company on the site. The Austin, Texas-based brand is small — it’s run entirely by Nathan Trafford — but it exploded last year after Kevin O’Leary picked it as the winner out of eight other affordable watch brands. Of course, I’ve been a fan of the brand since before that, having first encountered the brand when it launched its debut S.O.E. Roadster chronograph on Kickstarter in 2021.

I don’t know what a sports watch is. I’m inclined to think it’s any watch that isn’t a dress watch and doesn’t have a specific style or functionality, like a pilot’s watch or a chronograph. Or are those just types of sports watches? You tell me, because I’m still lost. Clemence calls this watch a field watch but is it? And Is a field watch just another type of sports watch? Can’t watches just be watches?

About 2 months ago, I heard that Christopher Ward was coming out with something “Bigger than the Bel Canto,” Shortly after that, the brand dropped a cartoony collab with Mr. Jones, and I thought that was it. Imagine my disappointment: I was expecting something mind-blowing and instead I got a “Rick and Morty” fever dream moonphase.

This year at Watches and Wonders, Jaeger-LeCoultre focused almost exclusively on the Reverso. This is not an uncommon approach from Richemont brands, focusing on a single model line each year, and I rather like it for giving the families breathing room of a few years between overhauls and new models. It’s closer to what car companies do, and I’m of the opinion that this is a nice cadence.

The watch you see above is the Omega Speedmaster Professional with a lacquered white dial. It has a white dial with black hands and markers and a few pops of red. On top of that, it’s got complications, and those are equally legible. It’s also intuitive because it follows the rules we all know about telling the time and reading a chronograph. The Omega Speedmaster Professional (including the classic black dial) succeeds as a watch. It is a paragon of legibility.

We made it. We got through Watches and Wonders. While you can be sure we’ll be pumping out reviews for some time, the rush has died down, and we’re back in our normal groove. That means a new edition of The Flyback, your favorite biweekly roundup! You might think brands would be smart enough not to release things in the immediate aftermath of such a huge event, but you’d be wrong. Thankfully, we’ve got some cool watches, but to illustrate a point, I’ve also included a big heap of blah.
