This week, Mido released a new take on the classic Multifort TV Big Date, a timepiece that appeals not only to the value-hungry crowd but also to fans of vibrant colourways. With a black PVD-coated case, blue strap, and bright orange big date, it showcases colours, finishes, and textures in a big, bold way. Most importantly, the much-loved TV-shaped case isn't lost amongst the colour splash.
The modern and dynamic design is underlined by a stellar horizontal brushed finish dial and, along with its distinctive BIG DATE function at 12 o'clock. Inside, you'll find an automatic Calibre 80 movement which Mido confirmed has been equipped with a high-tech balance spring in Nivachron for improved magnetic resistance.
Its distinct look is as striking as it is subtle. From afar, it might not draw eyes, but up close, the Multifort TV Big Date really sings. The use of the TV-stylised case makes its notable aesthetic that much more pronounced. This is an enigmatic and interesting piece from one of watchmaking's best-kept secrets.

Bremont's Supermarine 300M copped a really cool limited edition added to its family this week. The latest Henley Royal Regatta Edition honours the maison's timing partnership with Henley Royal Regatta, and features some telling aesthetic changes that help differentiate itself from the main collection.

I'm am a big fan of the domed sapphire crystal design, which gives a solid, vintage-inspired aesthetic. Minimalist by design, the timepiece also boasts a screw-in crown and a screw-down case back, which helps to provide 300 metres of water resistance. Limited to just 50 pieces, the timepiece honours one of Britain's most iconic sporting events with a blend of engineering excellence and sartorial elegance.

Jennifer Aniston admits she and Gwyneth Paltrow gossip about Brad Pitt
Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she and Gwyneth Paltrow gossip about their shared ex, Brad Pitt. The Friends actress, 56, said that she and the Goop founder, 52, cannot resist trading tales about her husband of five years, who was also engaged to Paltrow in the '90s. Asked by Vanity Fair about swapping stories about Pitt, 61, with his ex-fiancee, Aniston said: 'Of course, how could we not? We're girls.' The Golden Globe-winning actress, who was left heartbroken when Pitt fell for Angelina Jolie while they filmed Mr & Mrs Smith, also shared that their separation was a 'vulnerable time' for her. Reflecting on her previous interview with the US magazine in 2005, when the couple split, she said: 'I haven't looked at that article in forever. I just remember the experience of doing it – which was kind of jarring. 'It was also just a vulnerable time. But yeah, that was one for the memoirs.' She also spoke about the media frenzy she faced at the time of their high-profile relationship falling apart. Aniston said: 'It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas they had their tabloids.
