Initially released in 1963, the Heuer Carrera chronograph has seen many variations and design changes. In celebration of its 60th anniversary, we’re presented with a new 39mm Carrera named “Glassbox”--derived from the domed sapphire crystal inspired by the hesalite crystals found on vintage Heuer’s of the 1970s. The new design allows the tachymeter scale to flow with the curvature of the crystal instead of laying flat like previous Carerras.
The Black Bay 54 is a perfect example of “what goes around, comes around.” Watch sizes have been trending down for the better part of the last ten years, and have now reached a point where vintage sizing has become modern sizing. The classic proportions of that era now make sense again in a market clamouring for…well…less.
The SBGZ009J, or “White Birch,” is a piece of art you can wear. Each component contributes to the creation of a beautiful work of Japanese craftsmanship, from the case to the dial, to the movement. Grand Seiko always impresses with their watches, and for 2023, they did it again.
