Raymond Weil has unveiled the Freelancer World-Traveller, a 260-piece limited edition marking the founder’s 1926 birth and the Geneva Maison’s 1976 founding.

The watch (ref. 2762-STC-02026) is priced at CHF 3,995. It uses a 40 mm stainless steel case, 10.25 mm thick, with the RW3230 self-winding GMT movement, a 56-hour power reserve, and 50 m water resistance.

A Mercator-style world map fills the dial, champagne continents against dark blue seas. The founder’s handwritten signature replaces the logo, embedding the anniversary in the design.

Wren Opens Preorders for the Vessel, a Square Microbrand Debut With a Faceted Sapphire Crystal

The first non-diver from Wren comes in Sunray and Meteorite dials, each limited to 150 pieces.

Wren has opened preorders for the Vessel, its first non-diver, with Q1 2027 delivery for the two-dial collection.

Wren describes the front crystal as faceted sapphire and, on the Meteorite page, calls it “a sapphire crystal no one had made before,” with development described as taking two years.

The case is 39mm by 39mm and 10.6mm thick in 904L stainless steel, on an integrated steel bracelet. Inside is the Sellita SW300-1 automatic, running at 28,800 vph with a 56-hour power reserve, and water resistance is 70 meters.

The Vessel Sunray is priced at $2,900, while the Vessel Meteorite is $3,400. Each dial is limited to 150 pieces.

For collectors, the interest is less that another microbrand has gone integrated and more that Wren is putting its debut outside the dive-watch lane behind a visibly custom component. The core proposition is unusually clear: small run, custom crystal, Swiss automatic, and delivery already dated.

Oris Put Miss Piggy On The ProPilot X

The brand page promises one diamond, a pink dial, and a very Muppets case back, not a full high jewellery statement.

Oris launched the ProPilot X Miss Piggy Edition in January 2025, the second watch in its collaboration with The Muppets after the ProPilot X Kermit Edition. The details below come from Oris’s own launch story, “The power and the jewellery”, and its product listing. In December 2025, WatchPro named it Collaboration / Partnership of the Year at the 2025 WatchPro Awards.

The 34 mm steel ProPilot X carries a baguette-cut lab-grown diamond at 12 and a hot pink dial. On the back, a spyhole shows Miss Piggy on the lilac rotor. In Oris’s launch story, her advice to buyers is simple: “If it brings you joy, buy it, sweetie!”

The listing now prices it at USD 3,300, up from USD 3,200 at launch, with Calibre 531, a 42-hour power reserve, 10 bar water resistance and a steel bracelet. Oris’s US site currently shows it as not available.

For collectors, the interest is not gem count. It is Oris letting the ProPilot X carry a licensed character flourish without burying the watch under costume.
