Pietro Pilla

Watches & Wonders is now a thing of the past, but luckily, watch releases are not slowing down at all. And this week was truly amazing! Credor unveiled a 50th-anniversary Eichi II that will thrill many of you. Omega had a big launch in Milan that I had the chance to experience first-hand, and many other brands decided it was the right time to introduce new colourways to existing models. Discover them all below and enjoy the read!
