We welcome the existence of Seiko’s extraordinary one-off Cosmic Watch, created for baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani, which can track time for over 1 million hours. In other headlines, François-Henry Bennahmias’ newly announced luxury venture N3W5 and its ambitious collaborative approach to high-end watchmaking, and the story behind gifted Rolex watches being returned by the Mexican national football team following FIFA scrutiny, since FIFA is so well known for its ethics.

Scottish Watches Podcast #794 : Awake Watches – The Dial Maestros Uncovered

Awake are the most vivid watch brand around, and the story doesn’t stop at their dials! From the Panerai that first sparked his obsession with horology to building a company that’s redefining handcrafted dial making, Lilian shares the story behind Awake’s remarkable rise.

We start with the brand’s latest Royal Blue gold leaf release, then the difficulties of hand-guilloché and transparent lacquer, the evolution of its design language, and why its watches have captured the attention of collectors whose collections already include the likes of Patek Philippe, Voutilainen, Philippe Dufour and Audemars Piguet. If you enjoy independent watchmaking, exceptional value at an accessible price point, artisanal craftsmanship, dial artistry and the stories behind the people pushing modern horology forward, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Scottish Watches Podcast #791 : Getting Freaky With Your X

To take our minds off how Scotland is doing in the World Cup, we have a slate of new world-class watch releases. UN unveils a big upgrade to the Freak X line. New bracelet, new movement which expands the technologies they’re already famous for, and better proportions. As much as Nicholas is an icon of elegance, the range of adventure/field watches from Fears is expanding after the striking success of its predecessors, as the Fears Brunswick 40 ‘Helmsman’ ES. Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen – http://www.scottishwatches.co.uk/2026/06/25/scottish-watches-podcast-791-getting-freaky-with-your-x/ Coinciding with the sun’s blazing heat across Europe are the new Citizen 1 Eco-Drive and Attesa, which celebrate 50 years of Eco-Drive in two distinct styles. We’re still hopeful that Scotland can make a comeback, and Basel is hoping to bring back a big trade show to the city that once hosted the world’s biggest watch show for a long time, though this new event will cater mostly to jewelry brands, so we discuss the probabilities of this being a success.
