Accutron DNA series: A modern twist on a legendary watch brand
A closer look at Accutron DNA's sleek designs and innovative features
Accutron DNA series

If you’re familiar with the Accutron watch brand, you already know about their rich history — not just in innovation, but in style. They introduced the first fully electronic watch in 1960. Throughout the 1960s, their mechanisms were used to keep time in U.S. satellites and on various NASA space missions, paving the way for the modern era of electronic and quartz timekeeping. And the brand has continued to release modern watches inspired by their rich heritage.
Design and aesthetics

Accutron continues that tradition with the Accutron DNA series, having introduced four new colors in July 2024: green, blue, orange, and red. We had the opportunity to experience the red model firsthand. Each version of the DNA line offers distinct accent combinations, adding to their individuality. While the case is stainless steel on all models, the finish and tone differ based on the chosen strap.

Vacheron Constantin marks 270 years with the steel Historiques 222
A stylish steel watch pays tribute to Vacheron
Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222

To celebrate its 270th anniversary and usher in the new year, Vacheron unveiled a steel variant of the Historiques 222, a watch that dates back to 1977.

The original Historiques 222, the brainchild of Jorg Hysek, was rolled out with a pioneering design. Most watches had a sports-like look in the '70s, but the Historiques 222 changed all that, bridging two worlds with a formal and casual design. It featured an integrated bracelet and a case topped by a fluted bezel and stamped with a Maltese cross at 5 o'clock. It also featured an ultra-thin Calibre 1120 and measured 3.05 mm, making it the world’s thinnest full-rotor automatic movement at the time.

JJJJound x New Balance 993 in Mushroom/White

As part of one of two new designs set to be released by JJJJound x New Balance, the 993 in Mushroom/White design is a classic shoe to have in your wardrobe for 2025. Crafted with brown and grey mesh and suede uppers, this earth-toned shoe is a lowkey design that prefers versatility over flashiness.

Along with the co-branded packaging, the shoe will arrive with a second pair of laces in black that can add another hue to your look. Along with the Mushroom/White hue, the two are set to release a brown and black counterpart later.
