Blue has long been associated with clear skies, open waters and distant horizons. Reflecting these seasonal cues, Sincere Fine Watches presents a curation of timepieces that capture the colours of summer through dials that range from deep oceanic hues to lighter, sunlit tones. Each offers a distinct interpretation of blue, translated through the lens of contemporary watchmaking.
Arnold & Son H.M Pietersite
Rooted in a legacy of marine chronometry, Arnold & Son presents the H.M Pietersite — a timepiece that pays tribute to its founder, English watchmaker John Arnold. Its dial, crafted from pietersite, reveals delicate swirling patterns that evoke a storm at sea — waves breaking along the coast of Cornwall, the birthplace of John Arnold.
Housed in an ultra-thin 39.5mm case in either 18-carat red gold, limited to 18 pieces, or stainless steel in an edition of 28 pieces, the timepiece displays hours and minutes only, reflecting its HM designation.
Beneath its mesmerising surface beats the ultra-thin in-house A&S1001 calibre, measuring just 2.70 mm in thickness and delivering a 90-hour power reserve. The transparent caseback reveals a rhodium-plated main plate with a circular-grained finish, complemented by chamfered bridges adorned with a radiating Côtes de Genève pattern, while snail-finished wheels and blued screws complete the composition.
Czapek & Cie. Antarctique Dark Sector Cosmic Blue
Czapek & Cie. celebrates the sporty allure of titanium and its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio with the Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector Cosmic Blue. One of the highest-performing metals known, titanium is prized for its lightness, paired with remarkable strength and ductility. Here, its distinctive silvery-grey hue is amplified by a visually striking dial in Czapek’s proprietary Cosmic Blue.
The Antarctique Dark Sector Cosmic Blue offers a fresh take on the traditional sector dial. A classical minute track frames two concentric, slightly domed circles, each defined by 12 discreet interruptions to mark the hours through negative space. Available in a 40.5mm case and the 38.5mm ‘S’ case, the model is limited to 25 and 10 pieces respectively, each offering a 60-hour power reserve.
Greubel Forsey Balancier 3
Greubel Forsey introduces a new interpretation of the Balancier 3, limited to 22 pieces and debuting a finish introduced for the first time: a frosted titanium bridge, hand-finished with a steel brush across its entire curved surface. Its architecture is defined by three prominent bridges — the barrel, balance, and a large central bridge supporting the hours and minutes display.
The balance and barrel bridges are executed in polished titanium, lending a bright, reflective presence. In contrast, the central bridge that extends from between 1 and 2 o’clock to the small seconds disc between 7 and 8 o’clock, is distinguished by an exceptionally deep frosting. Together, these finishes create a dynamic interplay of surfaces and light, reinforcing the Balancier 3’s three-dimensional character. Different hues of blue create contrast, guiding the eye through the multiple levels of the architecture while enhancing legibility.
At the heart of the timepiece lies Greubel Forsey’s in-house variable-inertia balance wheel. The movement, composed of 282 components, is powered by two fast-rotating series-coupled barrels delivering a 72-hour chronometric power reserve. By introducing a new treatment for curved titanium surfaces, Greubel Forsey expands the expressive possibilities of mechanical architecture while remaining true to the original vision of the Balancier 3.
Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal
Jacob & Co. elevates the Bugatti Tourbillon with the introduction of the Bugatti Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal, bringing the timepiece to yet another level of exclusivity. Encased entirely in solid, transparent sapphire crystal, every reference to Bugatti’s hypercar is revealed in full. The V16 engine block automaton and the intricate architecture within are visible from every angle.
Sapphire’s extreme hardness offers exceptional resistance to scratches, yet demands remarkable precision to shape. Each case component — caseback, caseband, and bezel — begins as a solid block, requiring over 800 hours of meticulous machining, where every cut, drill, and polish must be executed at precisely calibrated speeds.
Designed to mirror the instrument panel of a Bugatti hypercar, the display features a 30-second flying tourbillon on the left, a dual power reserve indicator on the right, and a central time display inspired by RPM and speed counters. The movement offers a power reserve of 80 hours, while the 30-second tourbillon stands as the fastest ever created by Jacob & Co.
