It’s not every day that a new brand gets revived. Niton comes back after over 100 years since its founding with a model that finds its roots in the archives while flourishing perfectly in today’s time. Audemars Piguet does a similar thing by releasing a vintage-inspired jump hour among the numerous releases that start in 2026 for the brand. It’s going to be interesting to see what they bring to their Watches & Wonders debut after such a strong start to the year. Discover the rest of the selection below and enjoy the reading!
