  • New watches by Dennison, AWAKE, Depancel, and Yema showcase modern watchmaking—from craftsmanship to bold tool watch design.

This latest selection of new watches highlights the diversity of modern watchmaking.

From artistic craftsmanship to minimalist tool watches, each piece reflects a unique design philosophy and strong brand identity.

Dennison: Where Jewelry Meets Nature

The “ALD Safari Capsule” by Dennison combines mother-of-pearl dials, enamel, and diamond-set cases. Animal motifs such as tiger and zebra are interpreted in a graphic, abstract way, creating a hybrid between jewelry watch and fashion statement.

AWAKE: Craft as Cultural Expression

With the limited “Atlantis Blue,” AWAKE expands its Sơn Mài collection. The dial, handcrafted from lacquer, silver leaf, and pigments, creates a deep, ocean-like visual effect—enhanced further in low light.

Depancel: Minimalism with a Fresh Twist

The “Allure Mono Eye Mint Green” from Depancel introduces a simplified chronograph layout with a single subdial. Its fresh color gives the sporty design a lighter, contemporary feel.

Yema: Reinventing a Classic

With the “Navygraf Black Steel,” Yema reinterprets its dive watch heritage in a darker, more modern execution—resulting in a robust, functional timepiece with strong tool-watch appeal.

Diversity Drives Innovation

These releases underline the creative breadth of today’s watch industry. Whether artistic, fashionable, or technical, each watch offers a distinct perspective on modern design.
