New releases from Doxa, M.A.D. Editions, Krayon and more
Pietro PillaWatches and Wonders is now truly upon us and, as the big box brands have to stop releases as per fair rules, independent brands are having a blast. A lot of out-of-the-ordinary pieces came out this week, some in terms of shape, some in terms of colour, and some in terms of true craftsmanship and inventive art. We invite you to discover them all below!
Doxa SUB 200T
- Doxa has taken its popular SUB 300T and shrunk it down to a more compact 39mm case to follow the trend of smaller watches.
- Joining the traditional Doxa colours is a new (green) Sea Emerald sunray brushed dial for the SUB 200T
- Like its bigger brother, it’s available both on a stainless steel beads of rice bracelet or a chunky FKM tone-on-tone rubber strap.

Hanhart Austrian Air Force AW169M Limited Edition
- Hanhart releases a chronograph paying homage to the Austrian Air Force’s helicopters and its legacy as a military supplier.
- At 45mm in diameter, it’s not a small watch by any means, but it’s a reference to the dimensions of the original pilot’s watches that aviation enthusiasts will appreciate.
- On the military green dial, we can find a print of Leonardo da Vinci’s Helix Pteron propeller, a nod to AW169M helicopters, manufactured by Leonardo S.p.A.

- Snoopy still sleeps on the moon phase and the UV-visible text is also present in this model, though in a slightly different format.
- Sales will begin April 8, poetically the same day as the eclipse and new moon.
