Halloween is shaping up to be a little more horological this year, as Spinnaker once again teams up with Parisian watch prankster Romaric André, better known to the watch world as Seconde/Seconde/. Together, they’ve conjured up the Fleuss Automatic Seconde/Seconde/ 2025 Edition — a mischievous blend of ghostly charm and mechanical craft, launching on October 17, 2025.

This year’s edition doubles the fright with two case sizes: the Phantom Steel (40mm) and the Phantom White (43mm)— limited to 1,050 and 1,150 pieces respectively. Both arrive cloaked in a spectral grey “phantom” dial where glowing ghosts flicker to life once the lights go out. Luminous indices and hands add to the haunting spectacle, while a newly brushed sunray bezel echoes the eerie design language.

Completing the look is an upgraded steel bracelet and a nylon strap, because even spirits appreciate a good strap change. Hidden within are subtle nods and secrets that only time (and maybe moonlight) will reveal.

Each model is part of the 2025 Edition Batch No. 1, engraved and individually numbered. For those who miss out, Spinnaker is offering a second chance from beyond the grave: a final Batch No. 2, also individually numbered, shipping in May 2026.

This ongoing partnership between Spinnaker and Seconde/Seconde/ has become one of the watch world’s most delightfully unpredictable alliances, mixing André’s offbeat humor with Spinnaker’s adventurous design language. Together, they’ve proven that watches don’t always have to take themselves so seriously — sometimes, it’s okay if they glow in the dark and make you grin.

The Fleuss Automatic Seconde/Seconde/ 2025 Edition launches October 17, available exclusively from Spinnaker. But don’t wait too long — as the brand teasingly warns, “The Phantoms are watching you, every second, every day, and everywhere.”

Seconde/Seconde/ continues to leave his unmistakable fingerprints across the industry, injecting wit and imagination wherever he goes. His ongoing partnership with Spinnaker feels like a natural fit — playful, creative, and just the right amount of unhinged. These pieces, like his previous collaborations, will vanish in a flash.

Spinnaker’s knack for producing one hit after another, all while keeping prices refreshingly attainable, is nothing short of impressive. For collectors who crave something bold, fun, and thoughtfully made without breaking the bank, this latest release hits the mark. Personally, I love what they’re doing — proof that great design and great value don’t have to live in separate worlds.
