BuyingTime Daily - February 12, 2026
Chicago gets a new Lange boutique, indie innovation rises, NBA x Tissot expands, and Panerai closes tonight. A full-spectrum day in the watch universe.
Time Graphing today’s watch universe
Buying Time yesterday feels like a day where expansion, experimentation, and a bit of introspection all share the same dial. A. Lange & Söhne planted a firm flag in Chicago with its new boutique inside the Tribune Tower, leaning into private lounges and collector-focused hospitality rather than pure retail theater. It’s another signal that high horology is betting on experience as much as product, deepening U.S. roots while keeping the craft front and center.
Meanwhile, independent ambition was alive and well. Renaud Tixier previewed its 2026 debut with “Monday,” a micro-rotor rethink led by Dominique Renaud himself, marking the first time his name will appear on a dial. It’s a back-to-basics mechanical statement dressed as quiet innovation. Tissot, on the other hand, doubled down on cultural relevance by extending its NBA partnership and tying it to the Supersport 2025 Special Edition, clearly aiming at Gen Z and the 18–34 crowd with sport-driven design and global visibility. If basketball is the language, timing is the accent.
Feature coverage ranged from practical to philosophical. A grounded guide on how to evaluate a vintage watch offered a sober reminder that “player-grade” can be a virtue if you know what you’re looking at. The Biver Automatique line pushed modern Swiss craft forward with stone dials and the Caliber JCB-003, while L’Atelier Bernard’s Owl proved that six pieces, a duplex escapement, and CHF 150,000 pricing can still feel refreshingly indie. Jaeger-LeCoultre added heritage muscle by offering restored 1930s Reversos in its Madison Avenue boutique, a museum-grade reminder that sometimes the best “new” watches are nearly a century old. And in Opinion Time, one collector’s year-long buying pause concluded with a gentle truth: the joy of collecting lies somewhere between contentment and curiosity.
Event coverage spotlighted Bonhams’ February 25 London sale, headlined by a rare military Rolex Submariner 5513/5517, flanked by a Jean-Claude Killy Dato Compax and a GMT-Master II “Sea King.” The market continues to reward provenance and story as much as steel and gold.
On the release front, there was no shortage of variety. Armin Strom unveiled the Tribute 2 Aurum Edition with a gold tremblage mainplate and 100-hour manual caliber. Bianchet leaned into ultra-light tourbillon sportiness with the UltraFino Monaco. Citizen delivered accessible practicality with the Promaster Land GMT. Gérald Genta slimmed down elegance with the Geneva Time Only. Grand Seiko introduced its smallest 9F quartz models yet, the SBGX359 and SBGX361, proving that precision doesn’t need diameter. Jack Mason, Molnar Fabry, Oris, Sortie, and Tiffany & Co. each carved out their own niche, from tool-watch utility to jewelry-forward enamel artistry.
Reviews kept things grounded. Armand Nicolet’s M02 Model C offered minimalist charm with a gradient dial, Jack Mason’s Strat-o-Timer GMT Frontier balanced vintage cues with modern specs, Montblanc’s 38mm Iced Sea 0 Oxygen delivered compact dive capability, and Tissot’s Chemin des Tourelles impressed with performance even if lume took the night off.
Comparisons ranged from Year of the Horse celebratory pieces for Lunar New Year to a military dive-watch faceoff between Marathon’s TSAR and Luminox’s Pacific Diver. And Watches & Wonders 2026 continues to swell, with Audemars Piguet joining the exhibitor list for the first time and 66 brands confirmed for April in Geneva.
Video highlights offered everything from rapid-fire new release rundowns to creator collaborations shaking up Omega’s news cycle, plus a microbrand deep dive and a Miami Cars & Coffee watch-spotting session. Podcasts leaned thoughtful, with Hairspring building “reverse grail” collections and Marathon’s CEO discussing the realities of supplying military contracts in uncertain times.
At auction, Wednesday’s Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5980/1R-001 stalled at $140,100 without meeting reserve, while today’s featured lot, the 2023 Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo PAM01367, sits at $4,200 with the clock ticking toward a 6:52 pm close. A modern, 40mm Panerai GMT with recent service and a $9,600 original MSRP, it represents the brand’s more wearable evolution—and possibly one of the more rational plays in today’s field.
In short, February 12 delivered boutiques, bold independents, heritage revivals, Gen Z marketing plays, and enough new releases to keep every segment of the watch universe in motion.

Renaud Tixier Continues To Push Boundaries
Renaud Tixier is positioning its 2026 debut watch, Monday, as a back-to-basics rethink of how mechanical watches should be powered and experienced. Led by CEO Michel Nieto and watchmaker Dominique Renaud, the team has developed a new micro-rotor system intended to improve automatic-winding efficiency without adding unnecessary complexity. The design approach keeps the mechanics front and center, and it marks the first time Dominique Renaud’s name will appear on a dial. The brand plans a series of seven watches named after the days of the week, aiming to raise watchmaking standards through quiet, craft-led innovation.
Tissot’s courting Gen Z with its extended NBA partnership
Tissot has extended its global partnership with the NBA, WNBA, and NBA G League, reinforcing a relationship that began in 2015.

Tissot will also become the presenting partner of an NBA Global Game in Europe for the next decade, supporting visibility in key markets like the U.S. and China. The strategy is explicitly aimed at the 18–34 audience, using basketball-inspired design cues and targeted content to build long-term brand affinity.

Back To Basics: How To Evaluate A Vintage Watch And Avoid Buying A Dud
Evaluating a vintage watch takes a balanced approach, especially when you are just starting out, because affordable pieces rarely come in museum-grade condition. The guidance here is to focus on the lower price tiers first and learn to separate “player-grade” character from “investor-grade” perfection. The framework centers on three checks: correct configuration for the model and year, overall condition and wear, and whether any set content like boxes or papers is included. Building skill in these areas helps avoid overpaying and makes the buying experience more enjoyable.
Biver charts new territory with flagship automotique line
Jean-Claude Biver and Pierre Biver have launched a new brand and are positioning the Automatique collection as a fresh take on high-end Swiss watchmaking. The line is built to push traditional craft forward through new materials and techniques, while keeping a distinct, recognizable design language, including standout stone-dial variants. Power comes from the Caliber JCB-003, developed to pair technical performance with strong visual finishing. Introduced at Dubai Watch Week, the collection is presented as an evolving platform that can grow without losing its core identity.
In-Depth: L’Atelier Bernard, The Extraordinary Story of Two Young Belgian Watchmakers and The Owl Watch
L’Atelier Bernard was founded by two young Belgian watchmakers who committed to producing exceptional watches largely by hand, culminating in a Fleurier-based workshop focused on independent craftsmanship. Their debut watch, The Owl, is limited to six pieces and features an openworked structure paired with a duplex escapement, a historically rooted mechanism executed with modern precision. The watch’s construction highlights demanding details like hand-guilloché barrels and a distinctive case profile that complements the movement architecture. With a price of CHF 150,000 excluding taxes, the project is aimed at collectors who value rare, technically ambitious indie horology.
Jaeger-LeCoultre is selling Reverso watches from the 1930s
Jaeger-LeCoultre’s fifth “The Collectibles” capsule focuses on eight vintage Reverso watches from the 1930s, curated to highlight historically important examples while teaching collectors about the brand’s heritage. Each piece is restored with a light touch to preserve originality, aiming for museum-grade condition without compromising integrity. The collection is being showcased in New York City, with standout examples including an original 1931 Reverso and a rare two-tone 9k gold model from 1936. These watches are available exclusively at the Madison Avenue boutique from February 5 through February 23, 2026.
Opinion Time
I Stopped Buying Watches - The Grass Isn’t Greener
This piece reflects on taking a year-long break from buying watches and how that decision reshaped the enjoyment of collecting. At first, the pause helped deepen appreciation for what was already in the collection and removed the friction of constant selling and trading. Over time, though, the lack of new acquisitions dulled curiosity and slowed the growth of knowledge and enthusiasm. The conclusion is that collecting should stay joyful and personal, and that the excitement of discovering something new is a meaningful part of the hobby.

The case mixes grade 5 titanium with 18k pink gold for a modern, restrained look compared to the duo’s earlier, more ornate designs.

Oris
The Oris Yangtze Jiangtun Limited Edition
Oris released the Yangtze Jiangtun Limited Edition to support awareness and conservation efforts for the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise. The watch uses the Aquis platform in a 43.5mm case, pairing dive-ready specs with a mother-of-pearl dial in blue-green tones meant to evoke the river’s sound waves. Details like a tungsten bezel and a porpoise engraving on the caseback tie the design directly to the cause. The price is $2,900.
Sortie
Microbrand Sortie Debut BH1000 with a Refined Approach to Pilot’s Watch Design
The Sortie BH1000 takes a more polished approach to the pilot-watch format, with a 40mm steel case, sunray-brushed dial options, and an unusual 9 o’clock small-seconds display.

Armand Nicolet M02 Model C Watch Review: A Minimalist Classic For Modern Tastes
The Armand Nicolet M02 C pairs a minimalist layout with a distinctive gradient brown dial that shifts from light to dark. Unlike other M02 variants, this model keeps things clean and modern, though the asymmetrical date window may feel slightly disruptive to the dial’s balance. It uses a Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve, and includes solid lume-filled hands for practical visibility. The 41mm steel case and multiple strap and bracelet options are meant to keep the watch versatile while still feeling a bit different from the usual crowd.
Jack Mason
Hands-On: the Jack Mason Strat-o-timer GMT Frontier
This hands-on review frames the Strat-o-timer GMT Frontier as a vintage-inspired sports watch that blends 60s and 70s cues with modern usability. The 40mm case and brushed steel bezel emphasize legibility and practicality, with a high-contrast dial, large lume plots, and a standout orange 24-hour hand. The Jubilee-style bracelet is described as comfortable and adjustable, though the clasp may wear long on smaller wrists. A hardness coating adds scratch resistance, reinforcing the watch’s tool-watch intent while keeping a style-forward edge.
Montblanc
The Compact Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic Date 0 Oxygen 38mm
Montblanc’s Iced Sea 0 Oxygen 38mm is reviewed as a compact but fully capable dive watch, with a 300-meter rating and a unidirectional bezel in a 38mm steel case. The glacier-textured dial (blue or white) is a major highlight, designed to mimic the look of ice and add depth beyond a standard sunburst finish. Zero Oxygen tech is intended to help prevent fogging and moisture issues, while Super-LumiNova on the hands and markers supports legibility. It runs on the MB 24.17 (Sellita SW200-1 based) movement with a 38-hour power reserve, prioritizing proven reliability over novelty.
Tissot
Watch Test: The Tissot Chemin des Tourelles | WatchTime
This watch test presents the Chemin des Tourelles as a modernized, entry-level mechanical option with strong everyday specs and a refined look. It adds an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring and pairs a gray dial with a five-row bracelet that mixes brushed and polished links, though the bracelet can snag arm hair and lacks a quick-extension system. Performance is a key takeaway, with an 80-hour power reserve and reported accuracy averaging about +0.5 seconds per day. The main compromise noted is low-light readability, since the watch does not use luminous material.

A few select current auctions that caught our eye on Grailzee.com
[Wednesday’s auction watch, the 2023 Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 40.5MM Black Dial Rose Gold Bracelet (5980/1R-001) - was bid to $140,100 but did not meet its reserve. - make an offer]
2023 Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo 40MM White Dial Rubber Strap (PAM01367)
Auction Report: The Travel-Ready Panerai That Actually Fits — 2023 Luminor Quaranta BiTempo PAM01367
The 2023 Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo PAM01367 represents something quietly radical for Panerai: restraint. At 40mm, the Quaranta line marked a strategic shift for a brand long associated with wrist-dominating 44mm and 47mm tool watches. The result is a Luminor that retains the DNA—the cushion case, the lever-lock crown guard, the luminous sandwich dial aesthetic—without requiring a forearm workout.
This particular PAM01367, launched as part of the Quaranta BiTempo collection, pairs a brushed stainless steel case with a crisp white dial and a black rubber strap. The dial layout is clean and legible, with bold Arabic numerals at 12 and 6, applied indices, and a slender GMT hand enabling the “BiTempo” (two-time) functionality. The second time zone is understated rather than flashy, which is consistent with Panerai’s modern design language: less theatrical, more versatile.
Inside beats the automatic P.900/GMT movement, offering a three-day power reserve and an independently adjustable local hour hand—an essential feature for travelers who prefer practicality over pageantry. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters, making it more than capable for real-world use, even if most of its adventures will involve airport lounges rather than open seas.
From a historical standpoint, the Quaranta collection represented Panerai’s effort to broaden its audience. For decades, Panerai leaned heavily into oversized military nostalgia rooted in its mid-20th-century supply of diving instruments to the Italian Navy. The Quaranta line, introduced in the early 2020s, acknowledged that wrists—and tastes—had evolved. The 40mm case made the Luminor platform accessible to a wider demographic without abandoning its architectural identity. In many ways, the PAM01367 is Panerai admitting that not every enthusiast wants to cosplay as a naval commando.
The seller represents this example as being in very good condition, with a service completed in May 2024. That recent service materially enhances buyer confidence, especially given the relative youth of the watch. The listing includes the box and additional items, though papers are not specified. Original MSRP is $9,600.
On the secondary market, Quaranta BiTempo references typically trade below retail, often in the mid-$6,000 to low-$7,000 range depending on condition and completeness. Panerai, like many modern luxury brands outside the steel sports oligopoly, experiences depreciation in the first ownership cycle. That reality benefits the second buyer. If bidding remains disciplined and lands meaningfully under retail, this could represent solid value for someone seeking a contemporary GMT with brand recognition and distinctive case architecture.
This is not a vintage, pre-Vendôme-era cult piece. It is not a limited-edition unicorn. It is something arguably more useful: a modern, wearable Panerai that works Monday through Sunday and fits under a cuff without filing an OSHA complaint.
The auction ends at 6:52 pm on Thursday, February 12, 2026. For buyers who have admired Panerai’s aesthetic but hesitated at 44mm and above, the Quaranta BiTempo offers a rational entry point—especially if acquired below that $9,600 MSRP.
In other words, it’s Panerai for grown-ups.
Current bid: $4,200
