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.
