Classics Vintage Rally Healey:
An Exceptional Vintage in Three Models

In 2025, the highly anticipated Vintage Rally Healey line – released only once every two years – makes its return not with one, nor two, but three distinct models. This unprecedented offering responds to a demand that has remained strong for over 20 years.

Collectors continue to appreciate the nod to Healey, a reference to one of the most iconic small racing cars – a quintessentially British exception that has delighted gentleman drivers since 1952.

Each model offers unique features: the first comes in a 40 mm steel case with a classic British racing green dial, featuring just three hands. This version is not limited.

The second edition is more compact at 36 mm, includes a date function on a Healey blue dial, inspired by the metallic blue colour of the Austin-Healey 3000 MKII BM7. The third adds a chronograph housed in a 42 mm case – both of the latter models are limited to 1,888 pieces each.

Three Letters, Three Digits: NOJ393. This was the registration number of the legendary Austin-Healey 100S, purchased in 1969 by an enthusiast of the iconic car.

It was born of a collaboration between the Austin Motor Company and driver Donald Healey, who was also its designer. The result was a spirited, sleek machine – truly one of a kind. One of the few remaining original models was the famous NOJ393.

With its flawless lines – both fluid and taut – and British racing green livery, it became a classic. And since 2004, Frederique Constant has partnered with the legendary British brand to translate the car’s perfection into the world of watchmaking.

The First Unlimited Classics Vintage Rally Healey Automatic

It took no fewer than three models to fully capture the spirit and variety of this motoring legend. Though the Austin-Healey no longer competes in the world’s great rallies, it continues to inspire a true retro automotive lifestyle.

Two years ago, the Classics Vintage Rally Healey Automatic won hearts with its British racing green dial and minimalist elegance. Featuring just three hands, it encapsulated the Austin-Healey ethos. The 2025 version, powered once again by the automatic FC-301 calibre with a 38-hour power reserve, is its ultimate heir – and this time, it is not limited.

Enthusiasts will recognise the 40 mm steel case with engraved closed caseback, luminous applied indexes, hand-polished hands and, above all, the signature brown perforated calfskin strap – evoking the driving gloves of racers past.

British Minimalism

To maintain its tradition of exclusive vintages, Frederique Constant has, of course, retained limited editions. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The first of these, produced in 1,888 pieces, features a 36 mm steel case with three hands and a date window – the seconds hand is red, a hallmark of all 2025 models, highlighting their sporty character. As tradition dictates, the caseback is solid and engraved with the silhouette of the Healey.

The dial showcases one of the flagship colours of 2025: Healey blue, inspired by the metallic blue colour of the Austin-Healey 3000 MKII BM7. 

Frederique Constant has chosen a sunburst finish to reflect the light towards the luminous applied indexes, complemented by a large “12” at twelve o’clock.

As with each model, the dial bears the logos of its two proud parents: “Frederique Constant Genève” and “Healey”, in navy blue to match the flange.

Racing Spirit

The second limited edition, also capped at 1,888 pieces and mounted on a navy blue calfskin strap with contrast stitching, expresses a more assertively sporty identity.

Its chronograph is housed in a 42 mm steel case with an open caseback.

The watch is dual by nature: two colours (Healey blue dial, navy blue flange), two counters (small seconds at 9 o’clock, 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock), and two pushers.

ARNOLD & SON – CHRONOMETRY Nebula 40 Steel Blue Edition

ARNOLD & SON – CHRONOMETRY Nebula 40 Steel Blue Edition - 2025

 NEBULA 40 STEEL BLUE EDITION
A HARMONIOUS RADIATING SKELETON

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Elegant in its symmetry. Refined in its detail. Relevant in its strong horological focus. Nebula 40 Steel is a one-of-a-kind skeleton timepiece in which Arnold & Son combines style and substance, movement and design. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The star-shaped arrangement of its seven bridges and even its name, Nebula, create a coherent system: the radiating concept that governs the form of Nebula 40 Steel and determines its structure, topography and depth.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 Following the launch of Nebula 40 Steel in black and a golden edition celebrating 260 years of John Arnold’s legacy, a blue version is joining the variations on this skeletonised timepiece.

CONVERGENCE

Radiating towards the centre, the bridges are arranged around the edge of the main plate, itself formed of intersecting curves. These bridges meet in the middle to give Nebula 40 Steel its structural integrity and provide additional anchor points for the movement’s components.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Just as each bridge follows the last in quick succession, the organs inside the A&S5201 calibre are arranged in a peripheral kinematic chain. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The two large barrels that provide Nebula 40 Steel with a 90-hour power reserve, as well as the balance and small seconds, are positioned along four lines of symmetry. This equilibrium is one of the signatures of the collection.

TRANSCENDENCE

Nebula 40 Steel also comes to life thanks to a host of details stemming from Arnold & Son’s technical requirements, which produce an understated aesthetic effect. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

These include the openworked bridges with chamfered edges, and the crown mechanism, which has been inverted and transposed to the case-back side to create symmetry with the first wheel at 9 o’clock. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The same is true of the wide click spring, which controls the unwinding of the first barrel; the appliqué hour-markers, which have the same faceted design as the hands; and the proportions of the 40 mm-diameter case, which is balanced by a thickness of 9.10 mm to ensure complete elegance on the wrist.

FASCINATION

Last but not least, Nebula 40 Steel, Blue Edition is a confluence of colours. As its name suggests, the dominant shade is the blue of the movement. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

All the lower levels of the calibre feature a blue PVD treatment, and this hue influences the finishes: horizontal satin on the dial side of the main plate, and Arnold & Son’s signature ‘Rayons de la Gloire’ motif on the reverse.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In contrast, the bridges, ratchets, cogs and even the balance have a palladium finish to echo the colour of the steel case. A blue strap in alligator leather or rubber completes the timepiece.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Arnold & Son is also presenting a version with a three-link steel bracelet, whose understated design allows the balanced arrangement of the case and movement to truly shine.

SpaceOne Watches – ACT III WorldTime Titanium Edition

SpaceOne Watches – ACT III WORLDTIMER Jumping Hour Titanium Edition - 2025

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 SPACEONE WORLDTIMER:
UNIVERSAL TIME, REINVENTED
 A Futuristic Vision of Watchmaking 

SpaceOne was born from the shared ambition of Théo Auffret and Guillaume Laidet, two watchmaking enthusiasts united by a common vision: a form of watchmaking that is innovative, technical, and accessible. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Founded in 2023, the brand quickly made a name for itself as a key player in avant-garde horology, offering original complications and designs inspired by space exploration.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

After the tremendous success of the Jumping Hour in 2023 and the Tellurium in 2024 — and with over 1,200 watches shipped worldwide — SpaceOne continues to push the boundaries of creativity and functionality with the WorldTimer.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In 2025, the French maison enters its Act III, determined to keep both feet on the ground after exploring the solar system. Its mission: to accompany global travelers—both for work and for leisure. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This spirit of exploration is expressed through a design that merges space shuttle aesthetics with automotive cues, once again signed by Olivier Gamiette, who returns to put his distinctive mark on this new SpaceOne model.

A reimagined digital display

The SpaceOne WorldTimer takes a radically different approach from traditional watches by replacing classic hands with a system of rotating discs. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This architecture is built around four key elements: a minutes disc at 3 o’clock, a central seconds disc, a 12-hour disc at 6 o’clock, and finally, two coaxial discs at 9 o’clock displaying 24-hour time and corresponding cities.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Optimized adjustment system

The ingenuity of the WorldTimer lies not only in its display but also in its setting system. Thanks to a three-position crown, it is remarkably easy to use:

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

•     The first position allows manual winding.
•     The second, specially engineered, enables quick city disc setting.
•     The third simultaneously adjusts both the 12H and 24H hour discs.

This setup ensures a highly intuitive operation — ideal for discerning travelers and collectors.

A bold, technical design

Following the success of the Tellurium in 2024, collaborating again with Olivier Gamiette was an obvious choice for this new creation. The WorldTimer’s case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium, a material known for its lightness and durability. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The design combines polished, brushed, and sandblasted finishes, playing with light to enhance its bold, futuristic character. An ultra-resistant sapphire dome protects the coaxial discs at 9 o’clock as well as the hour disc at 6 o’clock.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

After using Soprod movements for Acts I and II, Théo and Guillaume chose to continue working with the Swiss manufacture, recognized for its robustness and accuracy. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The watch is powered by the automatic Soprod P024 movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) with a 38-hour power reserve.

An in-house developed complication

The WorldTimer is not a simple digital-style watch — it is the result of meticulous engineering. SpaceOne has developed and assembled its own in-house WorldTimer complication, ensuring a level of innovation and precision that is truly unique. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

A Swiss caliber, a French complication, and assembly in Paris — this timepiece perfectly embodies the brand’s essence: to offer technical, disruptive, and accessible watches. The WorldTimer will be available at a price of €2,700 (excluding VAT).

Time exploration, the SpaceOne way

Since its creation, SpaceOne has relentlessly pursued new ways to reimagine traditional watchmaking. With audacious designs and original complications, the brand speaks both to seasoned collectors looking for something unique, and to curious newcomers acquiring their first complicated timepiece.

Following the Tellurium, the WorldTimer stands as a new demonstration of SpaceOne’s boldness and know-how. With this watch, world time becomes more than just a display — it transforms into an experience, where technology and design merge to offer a new way of reading time.
