Thomas Sabo has launched its new Bold Elegance jewellery collection, featuring striking designs crafted from 925 sterling silver and enhanced with 18k gold plating. The collection includes rings, hoop earrings, and bracelets, all made from recycled materials and adorned with precision-cut zirconia stones. This initiative underscores the brand’s commitment to sustainability while embracing a premium aesthetic. Chief Executive Bernd Stadlwieser highlighted the brand’s evolution into a leading player in the premium jewellery market, integrating these new offerings alongside established collections. The Bold Elegance range is now available through Thomas Sabo’s retail outlets and online store.

Watches of Switzerland has welcomed Timex into its U.S. brand portfolio, promising a new range of accessible timepieces available exclusively online. This partnership marks a strategic shift towards more budget-friendly options, previously dominated by brands like Citizen and Tissot. Timex, with its rich American heritage dating back to 1854, emphasizes reliability and classic design, featuring models such as the Waterbury Heritage Chronograph and the Marlin mid-century revival. While Timex’s offerings are currently limited to online sales, the brand’s historical significance could enhance its appeal in the competitive watch market.

Hamilton has expanded its American Classic collection with the introduction of three new colour variations of the Chronograph H. With retro design elements reminiscent of the 1960s auto-racing era, the updated models feature matte dials in blue, brown, and hunter green, enhancing their vintage appeal. Powered by the reliable hand-wound H-51 movement, these chronographs maintain a 40mm stainless steel case and offer improved readability through silver subdials and contrasting chronograph hands. Priced at £1,980 or $2,445, they come with a perforated leather strap and a stainless steel mesh bracelet.

Toledano & Chan have unveiled the b/1.3r, a bold departure from traditional luxury watch designs featuring a unique 18K gold ripple dial. Crafted in Switzerland with a Grade 5 titanium case, the new 32mm timepiece reflects a growing demand among collectors for originality amidst oversaturated markets. Priced at $10,200, the designers emphasize the need for tangible value in an era where arbitrary price increases are becoming untenable. With their focus on innovation over conformity, Toledano and Chan are poised to redefine the landscape of independent watchmaking. The b/1.3r will be available starting February 12.
