Leica, counting mere years in the domain of watchmaking, is making caught up to the ‘green watch’ trend. The brand has upgraded its debut models from 2022, the ZM 1 and ZM 2, by incorporating green-to-black fumé dials. These watches feature in-house movements and offer measurements of 41mm across and 14.5mm in thickness. They are exclusively available at Leica boutiques.

Monceau has burst onto the scene with the Model 01, a remarkable revival of the Swiss brand by designer Simon Ryan. The watch draws heavily from both vintage and modern design, and its contoured dial available in fumé red, black, white, and fumé grey is an absolute visual delight. Model 01 uses the Elaboré grade Swiss Sellita SW-210-1 hand-wound movement, is currently live on Kickstarter, and will start deliveries from November 2025.

As the watches tick ahead, so do the brands, showing time and time again that innovation in this industry is far from over.
