Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
Farer is a microbrand based in the UK that is probably best known for making great use of color to distinguish their watches from the rest of the field. A couple years ago they came out with the Lander GMT and the "sea green" dial was a hit. Now they have followed it up with the Farer Lander Automatic Chronograph, which uses the same color scheme. Available for pre-order now.

Came here to post this, you beat me to it. I use to have a Lander, and this looks just as lovely.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 2:06 pm Farer is a microbrand based in the UK that is probably best known for making great use of color to distinguish their watches from the rest of the field.

I agree, and for anybody who stumbles across this, here's a few more. I've had a few at one time or another.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 2:50 pmI would be happy to own either of those.

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
Have not actually worn it yet -- my four-year-old is off school today and I've been playing with him. Not exactly a new watch friendly activity.
Immediate first impressions:
*I really like the color/style. It's slightly more understated than the pics show. Deeper colors.
*Size is great. Will be very wearable. Pretty thin.
*Feels well built, as expected. The crown hand winds and sets more freely than other ETA watches I've had, though I've only owned 2824-2 watches. Not sure if this is a characteristic of this particular movement or not.
*It's a 60-click bezel. This is my first GMT watch but I think 24 (or 48 maybe?) makes more sense. That's really the only negative I see now.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
Cool, thanks! Just dropping some links and other info for the Fairwind and Universa. I think of the 3, I'd be most interested in the bronze Seaforth.pgcity wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 9:34 am Haliosseaforthbronzeuniversafairwind.jpg
here's a rough collage of the upcoming Halios Seaforth Bronze, Universa and Fairwind(and a lone Tudor) collected from instagram. makes it a bit easier to view them side by side.

Over at A Blog to Watch is a preview of the new Longines HydroConquest All-Black Ceramic Watch
https://www.ablogtowatch.com/longines-h ... mic-watch/
[img]https://www.ablogtowatch.com/wp-content ... atch-2.jpg[/img]
Dimensions: 43mm
Water Resistance: 300 meters
Case Material: Black Ceramic
Crystal/Lens: Sapphire crystal with several layers of anti-reflective coating
Movement: Caliber L888.3
Frequency: 25,200 VPH
Power Reserve: 64 hours

I wonder how affordable it will be, how much of a price bump it will be over the standard HydroConquests? If not too much more, this could be the first Longines I add to my collection.

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
CHF 3,500 is the retail price but I imagine it won't take too long for actual prices paid to drop well below that. The newish Hydroconquests with the ceramic bezels rather than aluminum go for about $1280 and up. So somewhere in between I guess. I probably won't ever own this but I think it looks great.cel4145 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 11:38 am Over at A Blog to Watch is a preview of the new Longines HydroConquest All-Black Ceramic Watch

A member of the Christopher Ward forum went to the Wind Up event in San Fran, met Jason Lim of Halios, and took a few nice real world photos. Check them out.

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!
Here's one I ran across today, though it was announced in January. The Polish microbrand Vratislavia has a number of models coming out this year. The one that catches my eye the most is the "Architekt." It's got a JLC sector dial vibe. 40.5 mm wide and only 11.8mm thick, including the AR coated sapphire crystal. Miyota 9105. 100m water resistance. All shipped for $430. I have bought from them before and was quite happy.

Here's a pic the site says is a computer render:

He's got a facebook page that he posts on regularly, though I don't often go there since I don't have a FB account anymore. There might be prototype pics up there.
