Hot List: June 19, 2026
Lucky for us, Feldmar’s Midsommar celebrations don’t include any ritualistic sacrifices, only showing off the hottest watches. 🔥
Our very own May Queen, Scott, has graced us with an excellent bunch this week! So dust off those flower crowns, brew yourself some tea, and feast on this week’s Hot List.
ULYSSE NARDIN FREAK X
We’re totally freaking out about UN’s latest release. The Freak X features the in-house UN-232 movement, which was worked on from start to finish by a single watchmaker. It also has a newly developed ergonomic case with a quick-release strap system – available in metal, leather, and rubber. But what’s really got us dancing around the maypole is the flying carousel movement that rotates around its own axis. 😵
ZENITH DEFY SKYLINE
We found the cure to midsummer madness, and it’s the Defy Skyline.
(I mean, it couldn’t hurt.) The black ceramic case and open-worked, gold-plated dial give it a sleek, unique, and sun-kissed feel. The dial features gold-plated hand and hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova® and a 1/10th of a second subdial at 6 o’clock. And you can dress it up or down with either the ceramic bracelet or rubber strap.
SEIKO SPB519
This diver is as 🔥hot🔥 as the San Fernando Valley in August – which might have to do with the fact that Shohei Ohtani wears one. But also, just look at it. The ceramic blue bezel, the white sunray dial, those crisp red accents? And that’s just aesthetically speaking. It also has 300M of water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a 72 hour power reserve. As we all say – if it’s good enough for Ohtani, it’s good enough for me.
PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TORIC RATTRAPANTE CHRONOGRAPH
As Shakespeare once wrote,
“Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind, And therefore is winged cupid painted the Toric Chronograph Rattrapante.”
The agave blue, hand-hammered 18K white gold dial is a work of art. The 950 platinum case and split-seconds chronograph are equally as stunning. Limited to only 30 pieces, if you sleep on this one it will truly be no more than a midsummer night’s dream.
BREMONT HMAF COLLECTION
The Summer Solstice and Father’s Day are on the same day this year! 🤯
And what better way to celebrate your dad and the Earth’s axis being maximally tilted toward the sun than with this Bremont Commemorative Box Set? It includes the HMAF Terra Nova Date, HMAF Supermarine 40 Date, and HMAF Altitude 39 Date – all of which feature the official insignia of its respective service: the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force.
LONGINES MASTER COLLECTION
The cards are telling us that the best time to buy one of the updated Longines Master Collection pieces is on the eve of the summer solstice. 😏 The silver “barleycorn” dial and blue steel hands are enough to make it an automatic buy, but the 9.4mm thickness really seals the deal. Plus it comes on either a stainless steel bracelet or blue alligator strap.
The fates have spoken.
ARNOLD & SON PERPETUAL MOON
There’s only so much more time to add this A&S Perpetual Moon to your collection with its mother-of-pearl Super- LumiNova® moon, hand-painted constellations, “Stellar Rays” dial, and moonphase on the front AND back. Come see it on Saturday at our A&S + Angelus Horology Hour before it gets put away forever in a triangular yellow house with a bear.
