Our October-December 2023 issue highlights the rich heritage and legacy of watch brands. Our cover watch is the Tentagraph, Grand Seiko’s highest precision mechanical chronograph ever created. Our 'Microbrand Focus' for this issue is the ‘Watchmaker of the Impossible’, legend Svend Andersen and his brand Andersen Genève. Other features include a walk through the Longines Museum based in Saint-Imier, and Frederique Constant’s world of perpetual calendars and tourbillon. In another feature, we focus on two extremely successful brands, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, and how they compete in the complications they offer. Closer home, we understand how Bangalore Watch Company pays tribute to Indian aviation in its collections, and interview Gurgaon-based collector Atul Rajani and his watch box that holds 35 years' worth of timepieces. In tests and reviews, we deep-dive into the Tudor Black Bay, the Sinn T50 GoldBronze, and Citizen's Tsuyosa Collection.

On the cover of our annual Sports Watches issue is the newly resuscitated brand Favre Leuba's Deep Blue Renaissance, a watch that's a modern rendition of the 1964 professional diver’s watch of the same name. Under the leadership of industry veteran Patrik Hoffmann, Favre Leuba, which has a strong history of diving watches, is set to bring back its glory days - we've delved deep into the design and history of the brand in the story ‘Tradition Reborn’, and explored how the Deep Blue Renaissance personifies this much-talked-about rebirth.   This new issue also aims to capture what the 2024 landscape of sports watches looked like. We've explored innovation in sports watches, in the story 'In it to Win It', while in 'High Dive' we've written in detail about the dive watch we found to be most exciting - Singer Reimagined's Divetrack. We've conversed with legends - the Father of G-Shock Kikuo Ibe speaks about the iconic design he never dreamt he would create; CEO Jean-Marc Pontroué discusses with us the terror and joy of Panerai's Experience Edition watches; and wildlife conservationist Dean Schneider talks about raising a pride of lions and collaborating with NORQAIN on a collection. We've covered Victorinox's manufacture in Delemont and its repertoire of watches inspired by the Swiss Army Knife, and our collector feature is with the Thrissur-based Dr Vijay Jayan, whose watch wardrobe (yes, wardrobe, not box) has over a 1000 watches with nearly 500 of them G-Shocks. Our reviews section looks at Blancpain's Bathyscaphe Quantieme Complete Phases de Lune and the TAG Heuer Monaco Split -Seconds Chronograph.

WatchTime India’s October-December 2024 issue features the new Santos de Cartier Dual Time on the cover - the first watch in the Santos line with a dual time functionality. The story traces the timepiece’s roots back to the very first wristwatch for pilots, created for Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont by Louis Cartier, and how the new timepiece perfectly lives up to its legacy. The features section takes the reader through Montblanc’s manufactures in Le Locle and Villeret in Switzerland, which are giving the brand an edge few other watchmakers can match. We got up-close with Delhi-based Ravi Sethi’s watch collection, for whom the joy of collecting watches lies not just in timepieces but also in the people and community that help further this passion. There is also an interview with 2024 Rolex National Geographic Explorer Fernando Trujillo, who has spent his life protecting the Amazon river dolphins. Our other conversations are with Christoph Grainger-Herr, CEO, IWC Schaffhausen, on the brand’s 2024 smash hits; Richard Benc, on Studio Underd0g's quirky, colourful approach to horology; and Frederico Ziviani on how Gerald Charles, the last brand from one of watchmaking’s foremost figures, is keeping alive the founder’s design legacy. We also revisited legendary watchmaker George Daniels’s Space Traveller watches that combined different concepts of time reading. The 'Test and Reviews' section inspects Parmigiani Fleurier’s Tonda PF Sport, Breitling's Avenger B01 Chronograph ‘Night Mission’, Nomos Glashütte's Club, and Sinn's 356 Flieger Classic AS E.

WatchTime India’s Watches for Women 2024 issue spotlights the Chopard L’heure du Diamant collection on its cover, a diamond-studded watch that exemplifies Chopard’s jewelry and watchmaking mastery. The issue also contains a breakdown of the best women’s watches released this year, alongside a spotlight on Chanel’s Couture O’Clock collection that honours Coco Chanel’s haute couture craftsmanship while showcasing the brand’s growth in watchmaking. Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101, the smallest mechanical movement in the world that revolutionised women’s luxury watches, is revisited, and microbrand Beauregard, known for its seamless blend of haute joaillerie, haute horology, and lapidary art in women’s watches, is explored. There are interviews with New York-based watch collector Jaclyn Li, ​who shares her passion for exceptional watchmaking through her impressive collection of timepieces; Sinziana Iordache, a hyperrealist artist who creates life-like graphite drawings of watches; and other prominent women in the watch industry. A design subsection explores 2024 revivals that balance a contemporary outlook with past inspirations, as well as a look at India’s Titan Edge UltraSlim and Squircle, which earned recognition at the 2024 GPHG nominations, and Cartier’s shaped watches.

WatchTime India’s July-September issue features Frederique Constant Classic Date Manufacture, a 40mm elegant and affordable dress watch, on the cover. Dive deep into Bovet’s Recital ‘Prowess 1’, a worldtimer with a new roller mechanism for Daylight Saving Time (DST), and Panerai’s Submersible Elux Lab-ID, which combines electric fields with mechanical movement for luminescence. There are interviews with Aditya Sambhare, a full-time watchmaker based in Pune; Romaric André of seconde/seconde/ fame, known for ‘vandalising’ and creating quirky watch designs; author Aashdin Billimoria, whose new book features vintage Swiss watches from his personal collection; and Breitling CEO Georges Kern, who reflects on the brand’s 140th anniversary. Developments at Tudor manufacture and the Kenissi movement-making facility are explored, along with insights into Swatch’s creative process, and the horological connections between Switzerland and China. Our Tests & Reviews section covers Rolex’s first titanium watch, the Deepsea Challenge, and Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso Tribute Chronograph. The key timepieces from Watches and Wonders 2024 are also highlighted.

On the cover, we have the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen CARBO2 Limited Edition 1969, recently unveiled at Watches and Wonders, crafted in a new, innovative material called CARBO2. The material is produced by capturing CO2 from biogas, which undergoes a scientific process to be turned into hard, robust, and light watch cases with unique patterns - our cover story ‘High and Mighty’ delves into this in detail. Other features in the magazine include ‘The Legend Returns', which focuses on the revival of the Piaget Polo, the iconoclastic timepiece from the 80s, and ‘In a League of One’s Own’, where we look at Urwerk, one of the most unique and futuristic watch brands today, through the journey of its founders Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei. We also explore the success of Swiss watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier's Tonda PF line in 'Pure Class', and a unique chronograph complication in the new TAG Heuer Carrera and Porche 911, in 'Pulse Accelerated'. We have also dived deeper into the history and legacy of independent Danish watchmaking brand Urban Jurgensen, which is all set for revival under master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, in ‘All in Good Time’. ‘Time for Change’ highlights how the young brand ID Geneve it is raising the bar on sustainability in the watch industry. We also spoke to Panerai’s long-standing brand ambassador Mike Horn as he gets ready to embark on new expeditions this year to raise awareness about climate change, in ‘Man on a Mission’. 

WatchTime India’s first issue of 2024 features on its cover the beautifully handcrafted and fully skeletonised Bovet 1822’s Virtuoso XI, which flaunts intricate craftsmanship, the handiwork of more than 60 artisans. In another story, we take a walk through the latest watch boutiques that have opened in the newly inaugurated Jio World Plaza in Mumbai to understand how these luxury stores in the country are upping the watch-buying experience. Conversations with next-gen kids of the watch world who are taking their legacies to new frontiers; an interview with alpinist and explorer Simon Messner who recently participated in the 42km long Antarctic Ice Marathon wearing the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen South Pole Exploration Limited Edition, a watch inspired by his father, on his wrist; and an interview with master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen make up some of the most exciting stories of the issue. Not to be missed: Our collector feature with Sydney-based Arjun Gupta, who talks about his love for customised pieces, independents, and Cartier. 

Sometimes, watches are more than collections, investments, and allocations. WatchTime India’s 11th Anniversary Issue, July-September 2023, tries to look at timepieces through this lens. With this in mind, we have our cover watch, the Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 - Ganesh Edition, which you are seeing for the first time, on WatchTime India. Using the Grand Feu enamelling technique, Chopard has created the portrait of Lord Ganesh intricately on the dial of the brand’s third jumping hour watch.  The issue also features interviews with founders of roaring microbrands like Sarpaneva, where we speak to Stepan Sarpaneva to understand what encourages him to design out-of-the-box watches, and NORQAIN, where Ben Kuffer tells us how independence has become the cornerstone of the young, five-year-old company. In another feature, we speak to four enthusiasts/collectors on the impact of timepieces in their lives. For our collector profile, Chennai-based Umesh Agarwal opens up his incredible, chock-full-of-complications watch box for us.
