New releases from TAG Heuer, Tudor, Naoya Hida and more

Pietro Pilla

TAG Heuer bringing back the Formula 1 with Kith was the biggest news item this week, but in this week’s selection, you’ll also find some iconic collections from established brands such as Bulgari and Tissot getting an expansion; a funky new automotive-inspired independent brand’s first watch; a carbon fibre cyclist’s chronograph from Tudor and Naoya Hida finally reopening sales by adding a few releases to the existing collection.

There are also some very quirky pieces that started as collaborations or managed to make it through our email address that we’re sure you’ve never seen before. Hope you enjoy reading!
