New releases from Grand Seiko, Garrick, Tissot, Bulova and more
Pietro PillaNovelty drops are picking up again, and thanks to the upcoming Geneva Watch Days fair at the end of the month, there will be plenty more to explore. For now, here are ten new watches from last week, including architecture-inspired timepieces, colourful katana-inspired dials, and watches that have more classic sensibilities.

- Glashütte Original’s most underrated watch is now chronometer-certified… But not by COSC
- Its Panorama Date brings a signature Glashütte twist to a marine chronometer aesthetic
- Glashütte pivots from their typical striping to a 3/4 bridge plate with a frosted finish

Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 40mm Gold PVD
