British Watchmakers' Day 2026 - Our Top Picks!

Praka was getting some FOMO from seeing all the cool one-off special editions and releases being announced for the British Watchmakers Day 2026, so we decided that we should choose our top 3 picks! WristcheckJames is sporting the Hz.02 / Hz.01 for a full HZ Double Wrist, while Praka is wearing the Angles Disc One.Our PicksPraka’s Top 3: Praka’s selection features the Fears Brunswick 40 1846 Edition, followed by the Vertex M36 Desert Edition—which, while not strictly a release for BWD 26, was recently announced and will be showcased at the event. His final pick is the Apiar Gen 1.1 Underground.James’s Top 3: James went with the MONRO Lost in Space, the Isotope OVNI Jumping Hour (Founders Edition), and the Clemence Munro.Something Interesting James discussed the wonder of his new solar and battery system and taking advantages of the West Australian Sun (sorry UK fans!). Praka discussed Alison Moriarty of Moriarty Watches. Based in the heart of beautiful County Clare, Alison Moriarty has literally kiln-fired her reputation as a master of the art of enamels. Her stunning enamel dials, such as the Hibernia, are true showstoppers that capture the soft natural tones of the countryside surrounding her studio in Ireland.Contact UsThanks for tuning in!
