Vintage Watches and Nostalgic Timepieces Take Center Stage

2025-02-03 // SuperPodium
Exploring the resurgence of classic designs and new releases in the world of horology.

Earlier this month, during a podcast discussion about the concept of the "gateway watch," the Astor+Banks Sea and Baltic watches came up as standout examples. Baltic, a French independent brand established in 2016, has gained attention for its vintage-inspired timepieces, all assembled in France. These watches embody a blend of classic aesthetics and modern craftsmanship, appealing to both newcomers and seasoned collectors.

Nostalgia Meets Innovation

In a recent episode of a popular watch-focused podcast, the hosts delved into a mix of nostalgia and innovation. They kicked things off with the Giorgio Galli S2Ti, the final installment of Galli’s S-series, followed by Ming’s latest dive watch, a successor to their award-winning model from last year. The conversation then shifted to Autodromo’s revival of the Monoposto automatic, a motorsport-inspired timepiece originally released 13 years ago. Rounding out the discussion was the MKII Fulcrum, a modern remake of a watch from over a decade ago.

Windup Watch Fair Expands to Dallas

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Windup Watch Fair, a celebrated event for watch enthusiasts. For the first time, the fair is expanding to Dallas, Texas, with a two-day event on March 15th and 16th. Hosted at the Hickory Street Annex in the Deep Ellum neighborhood, the fair will feature around 40 brands. Texas-based fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for this exciting addition to the watch community.
