POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I had to share a few fantastic snaps of the new @gshock_casio_official CasioNaut taken by @georgiajanegriffiths and @mrshepherdson this week, ahead of its global - and massively anticipated - release. It was pretty special the team got an early look at these watches, and if the reception over the last 30 hours has been anything to go by, Casio’s only challenge is going to be keeping them in stock over the next few months. Summer’s already here, and I can guarantee you’ll be spotting these on wrists everywhere before the mercury dips again. Check out Jack’s full story on the @hodinkeeaustralia site, it’s a great read.

The Hour Glass Celebrates the Grand Opening of Its New Sydney Boutique

The Hour Glass celebrated the grand opening of its new Sydney boutique, housed within the iconic “Mushroom” building at 25 Martin Place, formerly the MLC Centre. Designed by renowned architect Harry Seidler and constructed between 1975 and 1977, the distinctive structure originally housed the Commercial Travellers’ Association. Its sculptural concrete column and circular form remain landmarks of Sydney’s modernist architecture.

Founded in Singapore in 1979, The Hour Glass has grown into one of Asia-Pacific’s leading luxury watch specialists. Beyond retail, the company has played an influential role in advancing watch culture and supporting the wider watchmaking industry, particularly through its longstanding commitment to independent watchmakers. Its efforts in introducing, promoting and educating collectors about independent horology have helped shape the region’s appreciation of fine watchmaking.

The evening was attended by The Hour Glass Group Managing Director Michael Tay (MT) and Wei Koh, founder of Revolution magazine, bringing together prominent figures from the watch industry and collecting community to mark the occasion.

Black lacquer for after dark, a pale coastal dial for the morning after.

Underneath, they’re the same watch - a Swiss automatic wound by the wrist, a bezel that keeps a second time zone, and a crown sealed around a few grains of Australian sand.

Wear it on steel, or swap to rubber or leather and it comes down to just 100 grams.

Serious watches, made for the days that don’t go to plan.

The Elemental in City Lights and Long Weekend.

Order window opens Thursday, 7am AEDT.

WHAT’S ON THE WRIST? @jamieweissau has been wearing the @hublot Big Bang MECA-10 Frosted Carbon, which as the name implies, boasts an in-house, manually-wound, 10-day power reserve movement. This latest, smaller MECA-10 calibre already looks unconventional thanks to its Meccano-like structure, but also features an unusual “crémaillère” rack system for its power reserve indicator. Lightweight thanks to its carbon case and surprisingly thin, it's a highlight in the Big Bang range 💥

The RM 65-01 is arguably the most complicated timepiece @richardmille has ever created, combining a split-seconds chronograph with unique features such as a rapid winding system, a gearbox-like function selector and a variable-geometry automatic rotor - all housed within a case made from one of the most innovative composites known to man. It really makes Richard Mille’s “a racing machine on the wrist” tagline feel apt. This 'Sand' model, an off-catalogue limited edition, ups the special factor higher still. @jamieweissau has more at hodinkee.com.au. 🏎⌚️

The Elemental in City Lights and Long Weekend are available for order from 15th October to 30th October.

Made to order only. This is the final run for both, with no plans to make them again.

One for the nights that run late, one for the weekends you don’t want to end.

City Lights wears a black lacquer dial made for the city after dark, while Long Weekend’s pale dial takes its colour from the beach at first light.

Both are built on a 40mm case with a Swiss automatic movement and 200m water resistance - and hidden in the crown, real Australian sand to keep the coast close wherever the day takes you.

See you soon.

Earlier this year at Watches and Wonders, @cartier revived the Roadster after a 14-year hiatus, bringing a host of subtle but meaningful refinements to the very Y2K, automotive-inspired sports watch. Now that it's finally available in Australia, we thought we'd see how much the Roadster has changed since its 2002 debut - we put an original Roadster and the 2026 update in @jamieweissau's hands, and he's been crunching the numbers (and has some thoughts).

Head to hodinkee.com.au for more, and stay tuned for a deeper dive in our upcoming second print edition, Hodinkee Australia & New Zealand Vol. 2, which will be out next month 👀

Art Deco style and proportions plus a manual-winding movement for under A$2,000: @hamiltonwatch have absolutely nailed it with the new but very vintage-looking Hamilton American Classic Cushion. It’s not an Oppenheimer watch per se, but it does resemble the 1930s Cushion B that Cillian Murphy wore in the Nolan blockbuster...

Specifically, its design was inspired by Hamilton’s Cushion Plain and Cushion Engraved models of 1926. But under the hood of this American Classic is a new manual-winding movement with a Nivachron balance spring and a 57-hour power reserve. Six models are available at launch in 30mm and 34mm in stainless steel, gold PVD and even an engraved model - @jamieweissau has more at hodinkee.com.au 🇺🇸
