Section 1 — Limited & Special Editions
No new limited editions from Japanese, Swiss and Luxury, or American brands today.
Marcu (Marcu-Genève) — Initial
- Edition size: 33 pieces total (11 each in three dial colors: Bleu, anthracite, and gold)
- Price: CHF 59,000 excl. taxes cited by third-party coverage — approx. $66,000 USD; not disclosed on the brand’s own site, so treat as unconfirmed against the official page
- Availability: Contact-only via the workshop’s own site (marcu-geneve.ch) — no standard retail or online ordering flow; hand-numbered pieces
- What’s new: Debut watch from an independent Geneva watchmaker (ex-Vacheron Constantin/Patek Philippe). 40mm Grade 5 titanium case, AR-coated sapphire crystal, 30m water resistance. In-house hand-wound JM01 caliber (18,000 vph, 50-hour power reserve, 116 components). Dial is hand-engraved in a “Pine Needles” motif taking roughly 20 hours per piece, with diamond-tipped baguette hands (D/IF/VVS1) — a from-scratch case, movement, and dial rather than a modified base caliber.

Section 2 — New Standard Models
Japanese
Nothing new from Japanese brands since September 5, 2026 (Casio G-Shock GAC-2500/GMC-2500 Series). Checked Seiko’s, Citizen’s, and Casio/G-Shock’s own newsrooms directly — no dated items since September 1–5.
Swiss and Luxury
Nothing new from Swiss and Luxury brands since September 4, 2026 (Gallet’s brand relaunch), beyond the Rolex “Four Seasons” auction pieces covered September 5. Checked each brand’s own newsroom directly — this is a quiet week following Geneva Watch Days.
American
Timex — Fender x Timex Collection (ref. TW6A14600, TW6A14700, TWG068900)
- Edition size: Standard production, three models
- Price: $499 USD (Automatic 41mm, TW6A14600); $269 USD (37mm Stratocaster, TW6A14700); $299 USD / €289 EUR (37mm Telecaster gift set, TWG068900)
- Availability: timex.com (US, EU, and UK sites), available now — no formal region-lock, but the EU gift set (TWG068900) is currently sold out. This collection was announced September 1, 2026 and missed in our prior posts; it is being caught up here.
- What’s new: Timex’s first Fender collaboration. The Automatic 41mm runs a Miyota 8215 automatic under a wood-grain “butterscotch blonde” dial, with a Telecaster-headstock second hand, 200m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and an exhibition caseback marking Telecaster’s 75th anniversary. The 37mm quartz pair uses a guitar-knob crown and headstock-shaped second hands (Stratocaster on the standalone piece, Telecaster on the gift set, which adds a second guitar-strap-style band and a pick) over 50m-rated cases with domed acrylic crystals — a design-forward collab rather than a movement or case update.

Timex — Marlin Quartz 34mm Stainless Steel Bracelet (ref. TW6A03800, TW6A03900, TW6A04000, TW6A04200)
- Edition size: Standard production, four colorways
- Price: $219 USD (ice blue TW6A03800, pink TW6A03900, black TW6A04200); $239 USD (gold-tone TW6A04000); UK price on the black colorway is £180 (roughly $16 cheaper than the US price before VAT)
- Availability: timex.com; the black colorway (TW6A04200) is sold out on US preorder but currently in stock in the UK — a region availability gap worth flagging. Announced September 2, 2026 and missed in our prior posts; it is being caught up here.
- What’s new: The first steel-bracelet execution of the compact 34mm quartz Marlin, which had previously only shipped on leather or fabric straps at this case size. 34mm polished stainless case, 41mm lug-to-lug, 10.5mm thick, domed acrylic crystal, 30m water resistance, 18mm bracelet with deployant clasp. Positioned by Timex to compete on price with the existing Peanuts/Snoopy 34mm edition rather than as a spec upgrade.

- Edition size: Standard production
- Price: $489 USD
- Availability: vaerwatches.com; US-assembled, no region-lock noted. Currently sold out — next restock expected late September 2026.
