Before all the excitement of Scotland making its way back to the World Cup, we are here to talk about a lineup of new releases ranging from the artisanal to the outright unconventional.

Kicking things off with the collaborative Ming 37.06 Lightning, exploring its hand-guilloché dial crafted by Shapiro and the broader story behind the Alternative Horological Alliance.

From there, we venture into the aerospace-inspired Barrelhand Monolith, a watch engineered from space-age materials and built with open-source ambitions, with so much going on that it’s really something you need to dive into. Next, tackling the colourful new Tudor that is summer-ready, even if not much else changed, and the latest high-concept from TAG Heuer, which sees them collaborate with Louis Vuitton in yet another model that brings new tech to the Monaco.
