Petermann Bédat has just unveiled its third model, the Reference 1825, which arrives two years after the Reference 2941 Split-Seconds Chronograph. The brand’s simplest watch to date, the 1825 is three hands but far from basic. In fact, the 1825 illustrates the cliche that less is more.

Founded by duo Gaël Petermann and Florian Bédat, the brand departs from current fashion with the 1825, which has a restrained aesthetic front and back, though the movement incorporates enough subtle flourishes to make it distinctive and distinguished. The proliferation of open-dial time-only watches with overwrought finishing makes the quiet presence of the 1825 stand out.

The cal. 233 of the 1825

Initial thoughts

The recent enthusiasm for independent watchmaking has tended to focus on time-only watches of a specific sort, with open dials, exposed movements, and lots of finishing techniques. Naturally, independent watchmakers and brands have delivered in response to that demand.

In comparison, the 1825 is old school in style and form, almost plain in fact, but I like it precisely because of that. The 1825 is appealing on two levels. One is tangible – it is an appealing watch on the wrist and clearly executed to a high level. The other is philosophical – I applaud Petermann Bédat for not going with current fads.

The 1825 isn’t imaginative or radical, it is simply a simple watch of high quality that feels like it was conceived and executed by sincere, competent watchmakers. All elements are done well and, importantly, feel original and lack the artifice that characterises some of the more recent indie debuts.

The dial is of the familiar “sector” type, but in flinqué and champlevé enamel – translucent enamel over a textured, relief base – of excellent quality. It’s produced by a well-known, reliable dial maker, so the quality is not surprising.

The dial style has minimal elaboration; the applied indices are a discreet extra, but overall the style is classic. If I were fortunate enough to buy one, I would ask for an entirely different dial design, simply as a matter of taste. I find the “sector” design too generic today since it has become so popular at every point of the price spectrum.

The case, on the other hand, takes after the 2941 split-seconds, so it has some interesting details in its form, though not so much that it’s unconventional; the case is still decidedly classical in style.

But the greatest appeal of the 1825 lies on the back. At first glance, the cal. 233 inside seems like yet another finely finished time only movement with little to make it special. But look at it for a while and the details emerge. These details give it tremendous appeal and also underline the good taste of the team at Petermann Bédat.

The bridges are carefully shaped with clean outlines, but also incorporate tasteful details. The bell-shaped bridge for the centre wheel and escape wheel cock are especially striking. Another plus is the fact that the calibre has no rounded, tubular bridges or cocks, which I find have become an overused element (plus the bell-shaped bridge is probably more difficult to decorate than a tubular bridge).

The 1825 falls squarely in the prevailing price range for other high-end time-only watches by independent watchmakers – CHF75,000 before taxes. It’s a lot for a time-only watch, but fair relative to the rest of the market; the cost reflects the overall state of the industry and strength of demand for such watches. But for me, the 1825 ranks higher, and is in fact amongst the best, amongst comparably priced three-hand watches with fancy finishing.

A fine foundation

According to the brand’s founders, Gaël and Florian, the 1825 is the start of a new family of watches, with the cal. 233 serving as the base for complications in the future. Both the watch and movement are certainly solid foundations to build on.

The 1825 is not a limited edition, though it will only be produced for four years starting in 2026 and ending in 2029. While only available in rose gold at launch, it will be iterated on in the near future, including with a white gold case.

Though it’s not obvious at first, the case of the 1825 is evolved from the 2941 split-seconds chronograph. This is most evident in the case profile, which reveals the slightly flared lugs and concave bezel.

The case is made by a well-known supplier that, I presume, Petermann Bedat’s founders came to know of earlier in their careers; the quality is expectedly high. Though the lugs appear to be integral to the case, they are actually soldered into the case middle, which requires more work and skill than a one-piece case.

The concave bezel accentuates the domed crystal that sits high above the dial, making the case seem a little tall, although it is actually quite slim. In fact, the overall dimensions of the case are compact. The diameter of 38 mm and height of 10.15 mm fall within the optimal range for this type of watch.

The 1825 is the first Petermann Bédat with an enamel dial, but the dial style is still loosely inspired by the sapphire dials of the preceding 1967 Deadbeat Seconds and 2941 chronograph. It’s still “sector” style, but more traditional than the sectioned sapphire dials found on the earlier models.

The dial matches the character of the watch well, though I personally would have opted for another design because I find this style too common. Given a free hand, I would keep the hands and change the dial design, perhaps even doing away with enamel in favour of another surface finish.

That said, the “sector” layout has been done with artful detailing that makes it a little more interesting. It’s finished in translucent green enamel over a solid gold base that’s been laser engraved to create a grained surface. The enamel is ever so slightly two tone, the green hue is darker on the innermost section and brighter on the chapter ring.

Made by a reputable dial and metiers d’art specialist, the dial lives up to expectations. The colour is vivid and appealing, while the enamel is glassy smooth and has few visible imperfections, which are typically more obvious in translucent finishes.

At certain angles, the green appears dark, almost opaque

Interestingly, the “sector” layout is actually part of the enamelling and not merely printing. The outer borders of the sector are raised and part of the dial base, also known as champleve, while the hour batons of the sector are engraved on the base and lie below the enamel. The “12” is applied, as are the tiny rectangles that serve as five-minute markers on the minute scale.

The hands are solid 18k rose gold to match the case, and finished by hand. They are functional in form, but finished well. The mirror polished and chamfered boss for each of the hands is especially fine.

While the hands are impressively made, most independents in this price segment have similarly high quality hands – clearly hands suppliers have gotten good at this – so the hands are not remarkable.

The movement, on the other hand, is special. The architecture is clearly vintage inspired, but elegantly original. It is also concise, yet subtly elaborate.

According to Petermann Bedat, the cal. 233 is a new construction, and not based on an existing movement (though the keyless works and escapement are shared with its earlier calibres). The starting point for the movement was historical pocket watch movements from the likes of Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin – plus a bit of inspiration from Philippe Dufour – yet the result feels distinctive.

The movement is traditional in its approach, as expected for a watch like this. The balance wheel is large and slow beat, running at 18,000 beats per hour, while the hairspring is an overcoil. Neither of them is crucial for chronometry in modern watchmaking, but they complement the concept of the watch.

The balance wheel is free-sprung and of Petermann Bedat’s own design, making it a little more unusual than most conventional styles. It has two pairs of weights, with one pair situated in recesses. Because it is free-sprung, the swan’s neck regulator isn’t strictly necessary, but it is a pleasing extra that adds to the aesthetics of the movement.

The most striking feature of the movement is the open-worked bridge that’s shaped like a bell. I quizzed Gaël on its origins, and he responded frankly: the bridge has no particular basis and was merely the result of iterating and brainstorming with the designer tapped for the task. This contrasts with the carefully curated stories that underpin many recent indie creations – I find it refreshing.

Gaël showed me the various design exercises for the movement, so it’s clear the bell-shaped bridge was the result of trial and error. It was certainly the right choice. It is classical, modern, original, and traditional, all at the same time.

The bell-shaped bridge is the central element of the movement, with the rest of the bridges neatly arrayed around it. Though the movement seems simply laid out at a distance, each of the bridges has a sharply formed outline. The shapes seem to echo the form of the bell, most notably the keyless works bridge. Everything comes together well and the landscape is visually balanced.

Naturally the decoration is excellent, but that is now par for the course for high-end time-only watches in this segment. Amongst the standout details are the black polished bridge for the pallet lever, and the small but mighty steel cap on the escape wheel cock.

More important is the fact that the decoration is done in-house at Petermann Bedat’s workshop. Gaël assures me the decoration is done the old fashioned way, and I believe him.

The fact that it’s done by the brand itself, and with traditional techniques, sets this apart from many other indies that instead rely on suppliers for decoration, which is evidently a prime selling point for watches like this since finishing is easy to appreciate.

Concluding thoughts

Gael and Florian have done well with the 1825. The execution is clearly top notch across all parts of the watch, though the movement stands out for its original yet classical architecture.

Less fanciful than the competition, the 1825 is more by doing less. The two smartly avoided some of today’s fads in its conception, and the 1825 will arguably have greater longevity because of that.

As the first complication launched by the revived Blancpain in 1983, the triple calendar with moon phase is arguably the brand’s signature. Now Blancpain has reveal the latest generation of the model, the Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune.

The new version is primarily a cosmetic facelift, which includes a blue ceramic moon phase disc, but it builds on solid foundations. The model retains the innovative and patented under-lug correctors for the calendar that make for easier setting and a clean case outline.

The new Villeret Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune (centre) is being launched alongside the the Quantième Phases de Lune, a 33.2 mm model for ladies (left), and Extraplate, the time-and-date base model (right), both of which have been similarly facelifted.

Initial thoughts

The triple calendar is a simple complication, but functions and aesthetically pleasing in the traditional layout that Blancpain employs. Though it is widely found across brands, Blancpain probably offers the most advanced triple calendar watches on the market thanks to its sophisticated movements. And Blancpain manages to do so at a reasonably competitive price relative to its peers.

At a distance, the facelifted models look pretty much identical to the earlier generation – a good thing if you like the look, but the classical style might look dated to some. I find the aesthetic appealing, especially with details like the serpentine date hand and recessed dates scale.

The facelift is light touch, but extends to the movement, which is technically unchanged but now sports an open-worked, solid gold rotor. The fact that the movement is unchanged isn’t a bad thing, in fact, it illustrates the strong technical foundations of the calibre.

Despite being several years old, the cal. 6654.4 has solid specs, including a 72-hour power reserve and a free-sprung balance mated with a silicon hairspring. And it has all the calendar amenities typical of Blancpain calendars, including the under-lug correctors and “secure” setting mechanism.

Price wise, the new Villeret Quantieme Complet is priced almost identically to the outgoing model, with the price increasing less than 4% for either metal. The pricing is competitive for a simple calendar; it costs about the same as the equivalent models from Jaeger-LeCoultre, though the quality of make is higher, while being priced much, much less than simple calendars from the likes of Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.

Complete calendar

When Blancpain was revived by Jean-Claude Biver and Jacques Piguet, the brand debuted in 1983 with a pair of triple-calendar moon phase models, the larger ref. 6595 that was 34 mm and the ladies’ ref. 6395, just 26 mm in diameter. The complication has remained in Blancpain’s catalogue since then, retaining the same aesthetic but enjoying substantial upgrades along the way.

The new Villeret Quantieme Complet is the latest generation of the model. As before it has the day, date, month, and moon phase, but is otherwise far removed from the 1983 original in terms of build and mechanics.

The latest version preserves most elements of the classic design, but many details have been reworked. The changes are subtle for the most part, and the new model greatly resembles preceding versions, which was no doubt the point of the exercise.

Both the hands and applied Roman numerals have been sharpened, while the moon phase disc is now ceramic with solid gold moon “face”. The case has also been redesigned with a slimmer bezel, shorter lugs, and thinner profile.

The new Villeret Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune debuts in four variants, with either a steel or 18k red gold case. Each metal is offered with either an opaline or metallic brown dial, which Blancpain describes as “autumnal shades”.

All four share the same dimensions and movement, which is the cal. 6654.4. It is essentially identical to the calibre in the earlier generation, except for a redesigned rotor that is open worked but still solid gold.

Though not a new movement, the cal. 6654.4 is high spec, underling the excellent technical foundations of Blancpain (thanks in part to its parent, Swatch Group). The cal. 6654.4 runs at 4 Hz and has a three-day power reserve, along with a silicon hairspring and free-sprung balance. Beyond the specs, the movement is also executed to a high standard, with an industrial-haute horlogerie finish that is done well.

And as simple calendar watches go, this is also one of the most advanced. Like many of Blancpain’s current calendar watches, the cal. 6654.4 sports the patented tabs under the lugs to correct the calendar. These replace the traditional recessed pushers in the case band, making for a quicker and easier setting of the calendar. Additionally, the calendar mechanism incorporates a “secure” feature that allows the calendar to be set at any time, evening during the midnight changeover.

Known for its avant-garde approach to watchmaking, Urwerk takes a surprise detour into orthodoxy with the UR-10 Spacemeter. At least at first glance, it is a round(-ish) sports watch with an integrated bracelet – and normal hour and minutes hands – as well as indicators you’ll find on no other watch.

But conceptually, the UR-10 Spacemeter is typical Urwerk. The indicators on the dial are all astronomy related, bringing to mind past Urwerk models and the brand’s sci-fi style.

Initial Thoughts

Oddly, I find I find myself more impressed with the UR-10 aesthetically than technically. Urwerk has cultivated a military, sci-fi aesthetic that I’ve become enamoured with, especially the EMC. And, if the UR-10 is anything like its similarly sized and braceleted peers, it will wear well too. Then there are the dials, with ideal typography, which sit under a sapphire bubble and remind me of a flush-mounted ship’s compass.

The complications are inspired by an unusual 19th-century regulator clock by Gustave Sandoz, and attempt to track both the Earth’s rotation and revolution. An interesting idea, but the execution is disappointing as the indications aren’t particularly mathematically accurate and based on arbitrary distances, like 10 km, rather than natural phenomenon like, say, a sidereal time watch, where one rotation of a sidereal hour hand corresponds to one rotation of the Earth.

However, Urwerk likes to develop ideas over time, and the Spacemeter concept has potential, so I anticipate more astronomical watches from the brand. Its pricing is steep at CHF70,000, but somewhat justified by the quality and Urwerk’s small scale of production.

Case and Bracelet

Before getting to the dial and movement, the Spacemeter is Urwerk’s slimmest watch yet, with a case that is only 7.13 mm tall – without the sapphire crystals. When counting the crystals, it is probably around 12 mm thick. As a result, the UR-10 is probably the Urwerk model that wears most like a conventional watch, making it more ergonomic than many of Urwerk’s most exotic case designs.

The case is two parts, a titanium upper and stainless steel lower, held together by screws through each of the winglets, essentially the same technique used on Patek Philippe’s Nautilus or Cubitus. Like many Urwerks, the UR-10’s crown is at 12 o’clock, and the northern end-link doubles as a crown guard.

The integrated bracelet is in sandblasted titanium to match the case. Design wise, it differs little from other Urwerk bracelets and suits the case perfectly. The only shortcoming is the lack of on-the-fly adjustment.

Dial

Urwerk offers the Spacemeter with a choice of black or grey PVD dials, both with the same red and azure accents. Notably, it’s the first all-mechanical Urwerk with conventional hands.

The “Earth” dial at two o’clock completes one rotation for every 10 kilometres of the Earth’s daily rotation, as measured from the equator, which Urwerk approximates as 22 seconds, though the true value would be about 21.56 seconds.

A similar dial at four o’clock – marked “sun” – completes one rotation every 34 seconds to approximate every 1,000 km the Earth travels in its orbit around the sun.

It is worth pointing out that the Earth’s orbital velocity changes significantly over the year, speeding up as it gets closer to the sun, and slowing as it moves away, which adds further inaccuracy to the indicator.

A third and final sub dial at nine o’clock rotates once for every 1,000 km of the Earth’s rotation or 64,000 km of the Earth’s orbit around the sun – both distances take roughly 35 minutes and 50 seconds to complete, rounded up to 36 minutes on the watch.

Movement

Turning the watch over, a peripheral hand that turns once every 24-hours to track the rotation of the Earth. Of course, the Earth actually takes one sidereal day (which is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds of normal time) to rotate. The markings on the case back correspond the Earth’s rotation – read clockwise – and the Earth’s revolution about the sun – read counterclockwise.

The automatic Vaucher base calibre only winds in one direction, normally free spinning in the other. Urwerk uses a patented air resistance based breaking system it calls a “Double Flow Turbine” to slow down the rotor when it travels in the non-winding direction, reducing noise and wear – which is useful, but more importantly, cool.

On episode 14 of the SJX Podcast, Brandon Moore and SJX unpack the new Louis Vuitton Monterey and discuss where fashion brands fit in the contemporary fine watchmaking landscape. Are collectors who ignore these kinds of products intellectually lazy?

We also cover the latest from Lange, which just added a stone onyx dial to the Saxonia Thin – is it the perfect watch for your next soiree?

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Youtube.

A hit when it was launched a dozen years ago – time does fly – the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon was the first-ever Speedmaster in ceramic. Now Omega has refined and reworked the concept – the case is now almost 1 mm thinner – while retaining the all-ceramic construction and distinctive aesthetic.

The new Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon (DSOTM) makes its debut in four variants. The first two stick closely to the original, right down to the same automatic cal. 9900 movement, but in a slimmer format. More notable is the manual-wind version containing the cal. 9908, the first DSOTM offering with this movement, making it even thinner. And it has no date to boot.

Rounding out the quartet is the Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon (GSOTM) that is also manual-wind but powered by the historically-based, Moonwatch-famous cal. 3861. This adopts the lunar-textured surface, front and back, first seen on the Apollo 8 edition.

The first manual-wind DSOTM that has a black-and-red livery

Initial thoughts

Contemporary collectors are spoiled for choice when it comes to the Speedmaster, which is available in seemingly endless configurations. While that’s arguably a criticism, it demonstrates Omega’s industrial prowess, which enables the brand to deliver large volumes of watches that are objectively high quality and equipped with some of the industry’s best chronograph movements, without keeping customers waiting.

Regardless of the shade of grey or black, the watches are instantly recognisable as Speedmasters thanks to the iconic case profile, which at to 44.25 mm is bulked up compared to the classic Speedmaster Moonwatch. The new DSOTM, however, is thinner compared to the first generation model, standing just over 15 mm high for the automatic version (compared to over 16 mm before).

The new DSOTM in its original livery

Omega deserves credit for the richness of the case finishing, which features the same mix of brushed and polished surfaces of its steel counterpart, but with the scratch-proof permanence that only ceramic (and a handful of other exotic materials) can deliver. This has always been a strength of the DSOTM collection and gives the watches a luxurious look and feel. The ceramic dial is also a nice touch.

And the luxurious feel is really the point, since the palette, which ranges from all grey to all black, limits legibility; these are not tool watches in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an upmarket version of a classic.

Though similar at first glance, the four new references feature three different Master Chronometer-certified movements, each with the brand’s latest generation Co-Axial escapement. Notably absent, however, is the Spirate adjustment system, which was introduced in a single reference two years ago but hasn’t diffused any further within the brand’s portfolio of movements. The omission is curious, but doesn’t take away from the fact that modern Omega movements are among the most advanced in the industry in terms of materials and performance.

The cal. 9900 with the standard finish

Prices range from US$15,700 for the standard DSOTM to US$16,100 for the Black Editions with the choice of automatic or manual movements, and US$16,400 for the cal. 3869-powered GSOTM.

This pricing is probably more than what many expect for a Speedmaster, and positions these new models head-to-head with serious competition from the likes of Zenith, which is also still trading on its achievements from 1969. The materials and high-spec movements justify the price somewhat, though it’s hard to argue these are strong value propositions.

True to the original

The two automatic cal. 9900-powered variants stick closely to the winning formula of the original DSOTM from 2013, with an integrated vertical clutch chronograph read from a co-axial register at three o’clock for elapsed minutes and hours, and a discrete date window at six.

The self-winding versions, standard (left), and Black Edition

The Black Edition, arguably the more interesting of the pair, is just what it sounds like, with a fully matte black dial and matching hands. Even the movement, along with its engravings, is finishing with a black coating. The fad for all-black watches is probably on the downslope, but that hasn’t stopped Omega from executing on this theme at a very high level.

The cal. 9900 in Black Edition finish

The no-frills hand wind

For those looking for something a little slimmer, the DSOTM is also available with the manually wound cal. 9908 for the first time.

Originally developed for the multi-scale Chronoscope, the cal. 9908 deletes the automatic winding system and date window for a more appealing 13 mm case height. Visually, the manually wound DSOTM is distinguished by its triangular red chronograph seconds hand, a throwback to historical Speedmaster models, which is not lumed at the tip like the others, and matching red Speedmaster wordmark.

Though manually wound, the movement should not be confused with the cal. 3869, adapted from the cal. 3861 in the updated Speedmaster Professional, used by the GSOTM.

The cal. 9908 is different animal, with the same vertical clutch, column wheel format of its automatic siblings, which explains the comparatively plain look through the case back. The thinner profile should please most skeptics, even though it’s not especially thin in an absolute sense and remains thicker than some other ceramic automatic chronographs.

The grey side

The grey version is a very different product that departs from the traditional DSOTM format both visually and technically. The most obvious difference relates to the dial, which instead of being a smooth disc of black ceramic, is a high-fidelity laser-ablated representation of the surface of the moon, first seen in 2018.

The textured matte grey dial is impressively detailed and gives the watch a distinct character unlike anything else. The lunar theme may be too obvious for some, but it suits the Speedmaster.

The dial is also partially open worked to reveal a bit of the movement. A more traditional construction, the cal. 3869 features a horizontal clutch and cam-operated switching, just like the long-lived cal. 861 that supported astronauts for decades.

The lunar theme continues on the back, with plates and bridges ablated to resemble the surface of the moon. Even the lower bridge that secures the Co-Axial escapement is finished in the same way, revealing thoughtful attention to detail.
