On the commercial side of link things, Panerai debuted a new alloy, eSteel, that allows it to link make recycled-based watches for commercial release. The Luminor Marina eSteel, available this October, may not use 98.6% recycled-based materials by weight (89 grams of its components use recycled-based materials, accounting for 58.4% of the total weight), but it demonstrates that circular manufacturing is viable at a larger scale for luxury link watchmakers.

The 40mm link watch itself takes a lot of aesthetic inspiration from military link aviator's watches of yore and is named for 'The Aircraft Manufacturing Company Limited.' Visual cues worth noting here are the stark white numerals for legibility and the red accents on the hands and dial, itself. This is not a new watch (the line has been around since 2017) but more of a new colorway. It just so happens that link it's a very cool colorway.

On the first day of training at Patek link everyone in the class is given the day to finish a movement. While most trainees take the entire day it took Xhevdet only about five hours. Patek was impressed and Rexhepi went on to apprentice link for three link years.
