No Windup Watch Fair would be complete without Lorier. Since the brand’s introduction six years ago, they have become a fixture of the show and a French independent brand founded in 2016. Baltic offers a wide variety of vintage-inspired watches, assembled in France.
Germany is home to many prominent timepiece manufacturers, including Glashütte. However, Pforzheim, another city located 560 kilometers away, has its own proud watchmaking history. Heinrich, a watch brand located in Stuttgart, collaborates with skilled watchmakers from Pforzheim to develop new sport and dive watches that take inspiration from the 1970s while incorporating a unique twist.
The latest creation from Heinrich is the Taucher Infused Forged Carbon V2. These watches feature dials and bezel inserts made from colored forged carbon combined with SuperLuminova BGW9. The fusion of materials ensures that each watch is unique.
The 41mm stainless steel case of the Taucher Infused Forged Carbon V2 measures 13.6mm in thickness and has a compact length of 47.8mm. The case is 200 meters water-resistant, thanks to its screw-down engraved case back and knurled crown. The dial features applied markers with tear drop-shaped indices at the cardinal positions, and the hands resemble a sword shape.
The watch is powered by an in-house modified Swiss Elaboré grade Sellita SW200-1. The modifications involve removing the date disk and adjusting the movement in four positions to enhance accuracy. It comes on a stainless steel bracelet with screw links and a twin-trigger clasp.
The Taucher Infused Forged Carbon V2 is available in two color options: brown and blue. Only 150 watches are produced, with 75 in each color. The retail price is 1,099 EUR, and pre-orders are currently open with delivery scheduled for November 2025.
