In this issue

For the Summer 2025 issue of World of Watches Malaysia, we are looking backwards. We take a look at retro trends that are making a comeback, as illustrated by the very cool Rado Anatom on the cover. Additionally, we are at a moment in watchmaking where it is entirely profitable to take a brand that has long ceased operations and revive it as a microbrand for the story-hungry watch enthusiasts of today. We find out why. Lastly, over the years of watch design, some have emerged as clear icons of the industry, our writers take a closer look at these trends.
