I am not making a single word of this up

And now in actually interesting watch news, these have been announced by Seiko

Seiko Presage "Sharp Edges" series

Nicely finished, 39mm cases, 6R35 movements

The dial is inspired by a traditional hemp leaf pattern from the Heian period (794-1185) and apparently symbolise growth and prosperity

And you can buy all 4 of them for less than the cost of one of the recent Rolex releases (they're $1,000-ish each)

Well this is delightful

The S.U.F. Helsinki Sarpaneva x Moomin

It's got a multi-layered dial with moomintroll on there! And the background is painted with multi-coloured superluminova so it glows wonderfully in the dark!

Unfortunately it's expensive (€5,000) and also entirely sold out but it is lovely

Ooh, shiny

Yep, those are onyx globes, the right one with indices so you can see what time it is in half the world, the left one the constellations currently above you

And that is indeed a tourbillon down there at the bottom

Aaaand... it costs about a quarter million euros

I'm not buying one because the 47mm case is a bit too big for me, yeah, that's the reason, just a little too big, no other reason

I think bold colours might be very in this year

4 new versions of the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec in blue, green, yellow, and orange that have just been announced

These look kinda interesting, the Breitling Endurance Pro

Thermocompensated SuperQuartz movements, COSC rated, case made out of something called Breitlight (your guess is as good as mine), compass bezels, and a pulsometer scale

Comes in 5 different colours, you know I'm a sucker for orange

goth bunny

Ooh ooh shiny!

NOMOS x Cool Hunting limited edition pride watches

They're the Club Campus 38 but with really nice new dials

Limited edition of 22 of each colourway

Price is the same as the standard production model, $100 from each sale goes to The Trevor Project

Someone buy me the full set pls

Seiko are doing a bunch of limited edition Street Fighter watches

Cost about 400 quid each

look at their snoot!

Ooh, these look interesting, new range from Serica, the 4512

Comes in WWB, Commando, and California dials, all of them are also available in lefty cases (crown at 9)

Mechanical STP1-11 movements, although apparently they've opted for the auto variant barrel which is an interesting choice

They all come on Bonklip bracelets which is neat as hell, cost about $650

Casio released a G-Shock watch with an octagonal case, the GA-2100, some people noticed that the case is vaguely similar in shape to the AP Royal Oak, a very expensive steel sports watch, which led to people calling the G-Shock the "casioak"

Now people have made steel cases for the casioak to go in (it's a very easy swap) and are calling the combination the "Royal Broke" as it really does resemble a Royal Oak from a distance but costs 2 magnitudes less

we did end up going to great lengths to get the instance running again

oh god no

orks who have heard that camouflage is effective and consists of painting foliage designs on your kit but they haven't quite thought it through and end up driving around with giant colourful daisies stencilled on everything

being orks this still somehow works
