Beaubleu Ecce Vesperal, £637
Beaubleu have one of the most distinctive displays in the watch industry thanks their circular hands. It’s amazing how much impact changing the shape of a hand has and when it’s as non-traditional as this, it stands out all the more. The hands themselves feature on the dial of the Ecce, which is their sportiest and most industrial model with a steel case and broad, brushed bezel. Especially in the Vesperal variant with a matching brushed steel dial. If you prefer a more luxe look, there’s also the white dialled Lys with rose gold accents.

Ember Watch Company Rocket, £359
With a name like Rocket, the debut watch from Ember Watch Company feels like a stylish ode to all things sci-fi. The 40mm diameter stainless steel case is deeply facetted with sharp angles and lines featuring a bead-blasted matte finish that contrasts with the smooth, polished bezel. Combine that with the bright, colourful dials, such as white with mint green, and it almost wouldn’t look out of place in a sci-fi film. A fusion of concepts that are simultaneously retro and modern. Powering the piece is the Seiko NH38A with 41-hour power reserve.

Justin Richardson Tank 432, £17,400
In March 2025 Justin Richardson won two Gold Awards at the Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council Awards for his incredible Tank 432 Black Mother-of-Pearl and 828 Octavo Evening Watch. There’s a level of detail and intricacy to handcrafted watches that other forms of production simply cannot match. Inspired by iconic Art Deco watches like the Cartier Tank and Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, the facets of the Tank 432’s angular case are immaculate and the dial is so incredibly precise.

Héron Watches Marinor Rainbow, £510
The Héron Marinor Rainbow is a visually spectacular watch with its rainbow decompression table occupying the central portion of the display in vivid colour. It’s also amazing value with 300m water resistance and an automatic Miyota movement for £510 on a steel bracelet. It’s also the first watch in Héron’s new Special Editions collection of limited production models, meaning there will be fewer made with fewer restocks, making them more exclusive. That does mean if you want one, you’d best stay alert for one of those rare restocks because it will be constantly sold out otherwise.
