Hot List: March 21, 2025
Annnd… tipoff! While a certain high-profile tourney just kicked off, Feldmar’s been running the elegantly-named College Basketball Tournament of Madness (But Instead of Basketball, Watches) for over a week! ⛹️ Want to vote on the best watch of the year? Give us a follow on IG and get your votes in. Now, on to the best watches of the week!
ARNOLD & SON TIME PYRAMID
While there is much wisdom in business guru Jack Barker’s Conjoined Triangles of Success, we prefer the synergies of the Arnold & Son Time Pyramid. With dual barrels, it has not one but two power-reserve indicators as well as that hallowed watch complication: the tourbillon 📐
RESSENCE TYPE 7
They’ve done it again! Housed in the brand’s first non-pebble shaped case, the Type 7 brings Ressence’s famous oil-filled tech to the world of sports watches ⛽ Plus, this grade 5 titanium timepiece also features another first for Ressence: a GMT complication!
TRILOBE UNE FOLLE JOURNÉE DUNE
While Joker: Folie à Deux didn’t quite capture audiences’ imaginations, the Trilobe Une Folle Journée certainly does! 🃏 Reimagining timekeeping, it features a small red indicator that points to the hours and minutes while the inner ring shows the running seconds. It’s all housed under a sci-fi-like sapphire crystal and powered by a microrotor movement.
BULGARI OCTO FINISSIMO
Bulgari has teamed up with French artist Laurent Grasso for a new watch that’s truly uplifting! ☁️Known for his ethereal art incorporating orbs and other floaty things, Grasso brings a poofy, puffy cloud to the Octo Finissimo’s dial. Limited to just 200 pieces, we’re excited to have one of these blue titanium beauties in stock now.
GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL SENATOR EXCELLENCE PANORAMA DATE
Does “frosted copper” sound like the name of a forbidden breakfast cereal? Anybody? No? Just me? Glashutte Original’s newest dial in the Senator line looks good enough to eat! With a warm texture and blue accents that gleam, this one is fine watchmaking incarnate! 🪙
KING SEIKO VANAC
They’re baaack! Seiko just reintroduced the vaunted VANAC as part of the King Seiko lineup. These 1970s-era timepieces featured fun faceted cases and funky colors. Now, they’re reborn for 2025 with modern upgrades 🕺 Coming soon to Feldmar!
BLANCPAIN FIFTY FATHOMS BATHYSCAPHE
The Bathyscaphe is easily one of the most photogenic watches in the store… and it looks even better on the wrist! Your wrist, specifically 😏 With incredible lume and a construction that’s entirely ceramic, it has the perfect balance of durability and feel while bridging the gap between vintage and modern. What’s not to like?
MIDO MULTIFORT 8 TWO CROWNS
The age of retro-inspired sports watches continues! Last week, Mido announced the Multifort 8 Two Crowns, a steel timepiece with an integrated bracelet and geometric bezel 👑👑 With an inner rotating bezel and attainable pricing, it’s an amazing option that competes with some of horology’s “heavy hitters.”
GIRARD-PERREGAUX LAUREATO MIDNIGHT BLUE
Blue textured dial. Octagonal bezel. Integrated bracelet. No, we’re not still talking about the Mido (although we could be!) One of the best steel sports watches of all time, the Laureato continues its run of greatness with a 38mm version that wears incredibly well. If you’re looking for a permanent addition to your collection, this just might be the one 👑
CASIO PAC-MAN VINTAGE BLACK
Last week, we brought you the yellow retro PAC-MAN watch from Casio. This week, it’s the neo-retro black version! With vintage fonts and design paired with modern touches like Bluetooth connectivity, this one has taken control of us! 🎮
ACCUTRON DNA ELECTROSTATIC
Re-launched in 2020, few brands have the technical chops of Accutron! 🧬 Joining the orange and blue versions, this bright red variant of the electrostatic DNA uses eye-catching design and revolutionary internal functions that are sure to hold your attention.
