Accordingly, the watch is clad in a blaze of crimson; from the deep red of the dial and the fiery hues of the subdials, to the rich brown tones of the supple cordovan (horse hide) leather strap. Inside it is the high-concept Calibre 113, one of our boldest movements.

It has a 10-day power reserve and a non-linear power reserve indicator, with the addition of a business calendar that displays the day, date and month of the year, and also the week via a scale running around the dial edge.

This special watch adds galloping and relaxing horse motifs to the power reserve indicator display, symbolising the moments when the watch’s mainspring is fully charged or ready to be wound.

KURONO Tokyo – 2026 SPECIAL PROJECTS 37mm INSEKI '隕石' Edition

KURONO TokyoSPECIAL PROJECTS INSEKI '隕石' Meteorite Dial Special Edition 2026

 Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

  A collection that embodies new interpretations of Art Deco

Introducing the new Kurono Special Projects 37mm INSEKI ‘隕石’, a personal study by Hajime Asaoka as he brings meteorite into the Kurono Tokyo design language after many years of contemplation.

 Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Gray meteorite is complemented by a white lacquered ring that features Hajime's personally designed Calligra typeface painted in high relief, with the monochromatic look finished with hand-bent high-polished steel hands.

’d actually been thinking about using meteorite for Kurono for quite some time. I felt that the contrast between meteorite’s rugged texture and our soft, gentle case design would be fascinating. But there were two challenges in bringing the idea to life. One of the defining features of the Kurono Tokyo is its cylindrical dial, and I wanted to preserve that even when working with meteorite. Shaping meteorite itself into a cylindrical form is extremely difficult, so I explored a bull’s-eye design instead—using meteorite for the central section and giving the surrounding area a gentle curve toward the outer edge. With this approach, I think we achieved a meteorite dial that still feels distinctly like a Kurono Tokyo." -  
Hajime Osaoka.

  Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

 "The meteorite we used is called the Muonionalusta meteorite, which fell in what is now Sweden roughly one million years ago. Its main component is iron, and when you cut and etch it, differences in its crystalline structure reveal distinctive natural patterns. Because of this, every meteorite dial is unique; no two are ever the same. At times, though, the pattern can turn out somewhat plain—that was the second challenge. To address this, I personally inspected every single dial and selected only those with compelling patterns. As proof of that selection, I added my personal seal to the dial. A million years is long before the emergence of humankind. When you glance at your watch to check your plans for the day and see a piece of meteorite that has endured for such an immense span of time, the hours of everyday life start to feel incredibly small. That’s what I felt while wearing the prototype. This watch may even make you a little more relaxed (perhaps too relaxed) about time. Consider yourself warned :)"

Individually selected dials

At times, the natural pattern of meteorite can appear understated. To ensure that only the most visually compelling meteorite patterns were used, Hajime Asaoka personally inspected every single dial. 

 Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Only those with strong, well-defined character were selected for final assembly. As a mark of this personal selection, each watch bears Hajime’s own seal on the dial.

Unique Calligra typeface

Hajime Asaoka drew upon his art school training in lettering and personally hand-drew each of the Breguet numerals (1 to 12) using a pen to ensure an authentic, human touch, similar to how original Breguet markers were created two centuries ago. 

 Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

The best examples were then carefully selected, enlarged, and used as the original template. Here, the indices are painted black in high relief against white lacquer.

About MUONIONALUSTA

The Muonionalusta meteorite is an iron-nickel meteorite classified as a fine octahedrite (type IVA). It is one of the oldest known meteorites found on Earth, with a formation age estimated at over 4.5 billion years, predating the Earth itself. Studies have shown it impacting the Earth (northern Scandinavia) during the Quaternary Period, about one million years ago. 

 Click , to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

It is quite clearly part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid, which shattered into many pieces upon its fall on our planet. Since then, it has survived four separate ice ages, which helped preserve its structure in the Arctic permafrost.

Widmanstätten Pattern: When sliced and etched with acid, it reveals a striking geometric crystal structure known as the Widmanstätten pattern. These patterns form through the extremely slow cooling of iron-nickel alloy in space—roughly 1°C every million years

 Composition: It consists of approximately 91% iron and 8.4% nickel, with trace amounts of rare elements like gallium, germanium, and iridium.

The Kurono Special Projects 37mm INSEKI '隕石' is a limited production release and will not be repeated. Strictly one purchase per customer.

Hanhart – 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date Edition

 

Hanhart 1882  417 ES Mocha Flyback Chronograph Edition 2025

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

 With the new 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date, Hanhart presents an exclusive edition in collaboration with “Porsche Fahrer Magazin” that unites two worlds that could hardly be more different at first glance - and yet share the same DNA: a passion for precision, character and timeless design. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

 What began in the Black Forest with precision mechanical watchmaking finds its counterpart in the world of motorsport - where technology, performance and style merge into an emotional unity.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date builds precisely this bridge between tradition and modernity, between analog perfection and lively driving culture. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

It combines the iconic design of the historic 417 ES, once built for pilots, with contemporary watchmaking at the highest level - a chronograph that breathes history, embodies passion and carries the future.

A statement in mocha

The dial in elegant mocha brown with white numerals has the prefect contrast for optimal readability. A smooth, shiny bezel gives the watch elegant, flowing lines. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The 42 mm stainless steel case (height: 13.3 mm) combines satin-finished and polished surfaces, protected by a high-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside and a transparent back that reveals the finely decorated movement. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The date window at 6 o'clock is harmoniously integrated into the symmetrical dial design - functional, discreet and stylish.

Mechanics at the highest level

Inside is the hand-wound AMT5100 M movement from Sellita's Manufacture AMT department - a classic switching wheel caliber with flyback function, date, small seconds, 30-minute counter and a power reserve of 58 hours. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The movement beats at 4 Hertz (28,800 vibrations per hour), is shockproof and is carefully regulated in the Hanhart manufactory - with an accuracy of 0 to +8 seconds per day. Robust, precise and built for enthusiasts who love mechanical perfection.

The red pusher - a symbol of history

As with other Hanhart pilot's chronographs, the 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date is also equipped with the distinctive red pusher - a trademark with deep meaning. Legend has it that a pilot's mistress once painted the chronograph pusher red so that he would always remember her on a mission and return safely. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Historically, however, the red color served a practical purpose: it was intended to protect pilots from accidentally resetting the stop time - particularly important for watches with a flyback function, which enables the time to be restarted with just one press. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Today, the red HyCeram® pusher stands for Hanhart's combination of tradition, safety and iconic style - a detail with soul.

 Comfort, function and style on the wrist

The watch is available with either a dark brown calfskin strap with Alcantara on the inside or a stainless-steel bracelet. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The leather strap has a historic lower band that is reminiscent of the pilot's watches of the 1960s and 70s. Originally, however, this lower band was not just for stylistic reasons: In the early days of pilot's chronographs, many cases were made of copper or brass alloys, which could cause irritation if they came into contact with the skin. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The lower band protected the wrist from this direct contact - a functional solution that lives on today as an aesthetic detail with history. Thanks to the quick-change system on the bars, the lower strap can now be removed in seconds - for maximum flexibility between a classic vintage look and modern simplicity.

THE GERMAN VIRTUE OF PUNCTUALITY

The Hanhart standard with regard to the accuracy of the watches is as unique as the watches themselves. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Each individual movement is tested and adjusted by excellently trained watchmakers at the Hanhart manufactory in Gütenbach. The Hanhart specifications for rate accuracy are 0 to +8 seconds per day on average over 6 positions. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This corresponds to the same deviation as +-4 seconds, but Hanhart does not allow a minus second in the main positions. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The German virtue of punctuality dictates that wearers of Hanhart watches should not be late because of the timekeeping device on their wrist. In addition, a maximum delta of 10 seconds is permitted between the positions.

OTHERS SHOW THE TIME, 
HANHART MEASURES IT

As a pioneer in the development of wrist chronographs and stopwatches, Hanhart has played an outstanding role in the history of the German watch industry.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

With a passion for technical inventiveness, Hanhart continues to set the highest standards for itself today and is guided by the following maxims: precision and reliability, perfect readability and simple, safe operation as well as maximum robustness. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Since 1882, the watch manufacturer has been producing timepieces that combine perfection with unmistakable design. Development, production and sales of the mechanical masterpieces are based in Gütenbach in the Black Forest

Made for a grand entrance

Glamour for life’s big events – and its small ones. The new Serenade Luna: Diamonds, mother-of-pearl and vibrant violet.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The watch was once conceived as a functional timekeeping instrument. Yet it has become so much more than that. An assertive statement of style. A piece of luxury jewellery. A mechanical artwork. The new Serenade Luna from Glashütte Original encompasses all three of these descriptions. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Its multifaceted attributes are housed within a round steel case measuring 32.5 mm in diameter. The dial and leather strap turn heads in vibrant “purple velvet”: 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

A rich and fiery tone that strikes extraordinary accents, whether for a glamorous evening event or simply a day at work.

An assertive statement of style

The colouring of the new Serenade Luna gives the effect of silk and velvet. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The dark violet tone is a luxurious blend of red and blue, reminiscent of the Gynura aurantiaca plant, better known as the velvet plant. Its appearance is at once calming and spiritual, inspirational and mysterious. This dichotomy is a perfect fit for the Serenade Luna, which offers exceptional versatility and balance. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

With feminine design and mechanical finesse, it enhances every outfit, whether an evening gown, business attire or casual clothing. The new version in “purple velvet” creates powerful accents that emphasise the individual character of its wearer.

A piece of luxury jewellery

Enveloped in a stainless steel case measuring 32.5 mm in diameter, the Serenade Luna beguiles with its graceful shapes.

With its sparkling bezel, the watch has all the charm of a jewellery piece. 48 brilliant-cut diamonds frame a violet-coloured dial, carefully crafted in Glashütte Original’s own dial manufactory. A delicate sunray decoration and translucent lacquer bring a visual depth that is enhanced by the vivid reflections of the diamond indexes. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The moon phase display that is harmoniously incorporated at 6 o'clock perfectly captures the poetic nature of the art of watchmaking. White natural mother-of-pearl and dark 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Tahitian mother-of-pearl with delicately imprinted stars create a clear yet elegant portrayal of the crescent moon and the night sky. The timepiece is finished with a Louisiana alligator leather strap that complements the dial colour. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Its glossy, velvety finish with a subtle dégradé effect masterfully unites the bold violet with the natural surface texture.

A mechanical artwork

At the beating heart of every model in the Serenade Luna series lies a celebration of mechanical prowess. The automatic calibre 35 with integrated moon phase is meticulously handcrafted inside the Glashütte Original ateliers and meets the manufactory's highest technical demands. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

For instance, the movement features a convenient running time of 60 hours while oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz. A silicon balance spring makes the watch resistant to temperature fluctuations and magnetic fields. Meanwhile, its sapphire crystal case back allows for the full wonder of the movement and its finishing to be seen: 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The stripe finish on the Glashütte three-quarter plate, the bevelled edges, the sunburst finish on the reduction wheel, the perlage on the oscillation weight’s track and the polished and blued screws.

The exquisite shell decoration on the golden rotor plate is reminiscent of a the atre’s stage curtain, alluding to the next major performance and perfectly capturing the glamorous essence of the Serenade Luna.
