Limited editions watches don’t normally start rolling out just two years after a company’s first year in business, but Weiss Watches pulls off the feat like a pro. This month, they dropped their first ever limited run two Field Watches, featuring new dial color combinations and Horween Shell Cordovan straps. Not only are they fine looking timepieces, but with quality, good ol’ made in the U.S.A. craftsmanship behind them, they’re a solid investment.

The Limited Issue Dark Blue Dial Field Watch features a dark blue dial, latte numerals, silver hands with latte lume, and brown handmade Horween Shell Cordovan strap. Only 100 pieces will be produced. The Limited Issue Black Dial Field watch features a black dial, latte numerals, silver hands with latte lume, on a black tonal handmade Horween Shell Cordovan strap. Only 200 pieces will be produced. New Shell Cordovan strap options will also be available.

As to why Weiss is going limited run before their junior year? Cameron Weiss, Weiss Watch Company founder and master watchmaker stated, “We are asked all the time for special versions of our watches. We felt it was time to release a set of limited issue timepieces to mark our two year anniversary.”

Current Weiss timepieces feature a Swiss made mechanical movement that is hand finished and assembled in Los Angeles. All stainless steel cases, case parts, case-back screws, dials, crowns, gaskets, sapphire crystal, spring bar tools and white pine packaging are designed, engineered and manufactured in California. Weiss is, as of now, the only watchmaker in the United States designing, engineering, and manufacturing their own cases and dials, as well as finishing each movement by hand.

The Limited Edition Field Watches will be available only on the Weiss website, and soon through select Barney’s New York locations.

Both editions retail for $1500, featuring individual serial numbers and Certificates of
Authenticity.

F.P. Journe closes the curtain on limited editions with one last watch

F.P. Journe releases its last limited edition watch ever

F.P. Journe Flyback Chronographe FB

F.P. Journe announced earlier this year that they would cease producing limited edition watches, though the "announcement" was more of a quiet whisper. The company is known for its small annual output of watches , which makes 1,000 mechanical and 500 quartz pieces. However, they would never end a party without a final confetti canon, and this one is in the form of a hand-wound flyback Chronographe FB.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their Tokyo location, they've introduced this last limited edition. Going forward, they will stop engraving edition numbers on their watches, meaning the 200 Chronographe FB models released will certainly be highly sought after.

Merci, Hodinkee team up for limited edition dress watch with Parisian flair

Hodinkee, Merci partner for Beaumarchais H02 collab

Merci Instruments Beaumarchais H02 Limited Edition for Hodinkee

Mention the name "Hodinkee" and even a watch novice will nod their head in acknowledgment as it's a well-known power player in the timepiece community. They recently collaborated for the second time with Parisian brand Merci, located in the Marais district, and they offer a range of curated items like clothing and home decor. The result is the Merci Instruments Beaumarchais H02 Limited Edition for Hodinkee. If you've ever scrolled through Paris street fashion on TikTok or picked up vintage jeans from a secondhand store just to get the Parisian streetwear vibe, then this new collaboration will feel like an answer to your every sartorial prayer.
Hodinkee has teamed up with Merci for the Beaumarchais H02

Merci Instruments is a subsidiary of Merci, and they bring a laissez-faire yet high-end flare to watchmaking, blending like peanut butter and jelly (or Switzerland and Rolex?) with Hodinkee. Their first collaboration, the LMMH01, debuted in 2020 and featured simplistic colors and a minimalist style. The new Merci Instruments Beaumarchais H02 Limited Edition for Hodinkee has a bit more to it, especially in the dial, and gives off more aviation-inspired energy.

G-Shock’s limited edition Diffuse Nebula watch will have you seeing stars

G-Shock releases limited edition watch that will have you feeling like an astronaut

g shock diffuse nebula mtgb3000dn1a watch

There are very few watches that make us feel like we're traversing the Milky Way on our own little rocketship, eyes mesmerized at all the colors and galaxies, minus the Omega x Swatch Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection that was quite obviously inspired by several planets. G-Shock is one brand that doesn't shy away from gradient colors or space themes, as the newest watch follows earlier models like the MTG-B3000PRB-1A Northern Light and the MTG-B3000FR Solar Flares. The new G-Shock Diffuse Nebula MTGB3000DN1A will quite literally have you feeling like you're millions of miles away, floating through space, or at least taking in the Northern Lights from a cold mountain somewhere in Norway.

The new, limited edition G-Shock Diffuse Nebula MTGB3000DN1A is not only made for those who appreciate astronomy and the universe at large but even the occasional stargazer who is mesmerized by the beauty of outer space. This G-Shock watch captures celestial beauty with its wide spectrum of color, from shimmering royal purple to deep blue, reminiscent of interstellar gas clouds.
G-Shock Diffuse Nebula MTGB3000DN1A: Nebula aesthetics
Continuing on with the aesthetics of this new G-Shock, the stainless-steel bezel is finished with a gradation ion plating (IP) process which is what creates the gradient colors you see. The IP crown and screws are rose gold which looks slightly out of place but does add a certain warmth to the watch that some might feel is missing.
