Memomem is a watch brand designed around the idea of customizing your own Swiss automatic watch by selecting color options, text, and hands, resulting in countless styles. Well, actually it’s about 17 trillion different styles. Of course, the watches feature a Swiss automatic movement housed in a steel case that’s water resistant to 100M. In other words, a solid wristwatch with a customizable design and a Swiss movement.
I recently learned that Invicta has come out with a limited-edition set of Disney-licensed timepieces. Mickey Mouse has a fine history of being on wrist watches, but today there are precious few modern timepieces which celebrate Disney’s very rich history of being involved with culturally important wearables.
The TAG Heuer Mikrograph is back! With a new anniversary edition celebrating the movement’s 100-year-old roots.
While you may have your own associations between watch brands and sporting activities, Ulysse Nardin has become firmly cemented – in my mind – as tied in to the boating world. No, they are not the only brand who is in the mix of competitive boat racing sponsorships, but they are the only ones that I have seen commission their own boat. Add in the marine chronometer history, and, well, an association is born. To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the America’s Cup race, the brand has released the Ulysse Nardin Classico America.
In 2014, we wrote a “hands-on” sponsored post of the then new Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer Regulator released at Basel 2013.

At Baselworld this year, Glashütte Original came out with a new variant of the Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer, a white gold piece with a blue dial.
Just how big is the vintage trend? Even famous Rolex customizer Bamford Watch Department has an entire collection dedicated to vintage-inspired Rolex watches.

Hublot is marking their new partnership with Chelsea Football Club, one of the giants of world football, with the limited edition Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC watch.
Functionality between smart watches and fitness trackers increasingly overlaps these days. If you have a watch with the various sensors to pick up your step counts and Bluetooth to send the data to a phone, it is not that far of a leap to blow things out to a full smart watch suite. With the advent of the Android Wear ecosystem, that has definitely become a lot easier to accomplish. The latest entry for that would be the Polar M600.
For Bonneville Speed Week, SevenFriday is launching a limited-edition watch decorated with details that recall some of the iconic parts of hot rod cars. The SevenFriday P3C/01 Hot Rod watch stands out in a crowded field of car- and racing-inspired watches due to a combination of good design and the fact that a SevenFriday watch is going to stand out from the crowd anyway.
