Limited to just 50 pieces, this new interpretation trades the expected pristine white enamel dial for something far more intriguing: an anthracite grey canvas that speaks to the modern collector's appreciation for nuanced beauty. Mechanical Poetry in Pink Gold: Calibre 978Housed within a 40 mm pink gold case, the latest generation of Calibre 978 powers the watch, Jaeger-LeCoultre's mainstay tourbillon movement, which earned international chronometry recognition in 2009. The movement's comprehensive 2019 update introduced modern technology while preserving the essence that made it special: a tourbillon cage weighing less than half a gram, constructed with 77 components, including a titanium cage that weighs less than 0.5 grams.The flat, two-level hairspring deserves particular attention. Its specific curve at the attachment points helps ensure oscillation regularity, directly contributing to the movement's exceptional timekeeping accuracy. This is haute horlogerie engineering at its most refined—technical solutions that serve precision rather than mere visual spectacle.The in-house Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 978 is an automatic movement composed of 302 parts and 33 jewels, providing a power reserve of 45 hours with a single barrel, while beating at a frequency of 28,800 vph. The movement is, of course, fully visible via the display case back. Painstaking Dial Craftsmanship by the Atelier des Métiers Rares The choice of anthracite grey Grand Feu enamel represents more than a simple color variation—it's a philosophical statement about contemporary luxury. Where traditional dress watches rely on stark contrasts and bright surfaces, this JLC Master Ultra Thin embraces the subtle drama of shadow and light. The hand-guilloché sunray pattern, comprising an astounding 180 individual rays carved through 1,080 precise passes of the rose engine lathe, comes alive against this darker backdrop in ways that a white dial cannot achieve. Each ray catches and redirects light with every subtle movement of the wrist, creating a dynamic display that shifts between matte sophistication and brilliant flash. It's a technical tour de force that rewards close inspection while maintaining the restrained elegance expected from a proper dress watch.The creation of this dial represents one of horology's most demanding crafts. After the master guillocheur completes their painstaking work—guided solely by eye and hand to ensure each of those 180 rays radiates perfectly from center to edge—the dial passes to the enameller's domain. Here, five layers of Grand Feu enamel are applied, with each layer fired at 800°C and carefully cooled. The anthracite grey achieves its remarkable depth through this laborious process, creating a surface that appears almost liquid in its richness. The date sub-dial receives its own treatment with circular azurage guilloché, providing textural contrast that prevents the eye from becoming fatigued while maintaining visual harmony across the composition. Technical Virtuosity & PricingWhat makes this Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel particularly compelling is how it embodies Jaeger-LeCoultre's philosophy of uniting "technical virtuosity with enduring beauty and timeless aesthetics." The anthracite grey dial doesn't shout for attention; instead, it draws the connoisseur closer, revealing its secrets gradually. At 12.13 mm thick, the watch maintains its ultra-thin profile, essential to its dress watch credentials, while housing one of horology's most complex complications. The pink gold case provides warmth against the cooler tones of the dial. At the same time, Dauphine hands ensure optimal legibility—a crucial consideration often overlooked in tourbillon watches, where the mechanism can overshadow basic functionality.Sticker Price Upon Request.

Hands-on with Live Photos. Few watch manufacturers embody the seamless fusion of mechanical mastery and artistic expression quite like Jaeger-LeCoultre, with the new interpretation of the Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179 ref. Q39424E3, JLC presents a timepiece that stands as a testament to nearly two centuries of accumulated expertise, where the mechanical excellence of the signature multi-axis Gyrotourbillon meets the meticulous artistry of hand-applied lacquer work. Limited to just 10 pieces, this latest creation, cloaked in black lacquer and housed in 18K pink gold, offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a true objet d'art. The Reverso has remained an icon since its inception in 1931, and the Gyrotourbillon examples are some of our favorites. Now, on to the hands-on review we have prepared with our usual live photos. Things to Know About the WatchInitially created in 2023, the Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179 epitomizes the philosophy of the Hybris collection. In 2025, Jaeger-LeCoultre reimagines this extraordinary timepiece with a monochromatic palette that echoes the Art Deco period, which gave birth to the Reverso in 1931. The new black and grey lacquer dials, featured on both the front and reverse sides, create a rich, dramatic contrast with the warm tones of the 18K pink gold case, bridges, and decorative plates. At the mechanical heart of this 51.2 x 31 mm timepiece beats Calibre 179, featuring the fourth evolution of the Gyrotourbillon—Jaeger-LeCoultre's proprietary multi-axis tourbillon explicitly conceived for the Reverso. This remarkable 123-component mechanism features an ultra-light titanium inner cage that rotates 360 degrees every 16 seconds, while the peripheral carriage, mounted on ball bearings, completes its rotation once per minute. The two cages turn perpendicularly to each other at different speeds, creating a mesmerizing ballet of mechanical precision. Supported by a ring of ball bearings rather than a conventional bridge, the flying Gyrotourbillon appears to float ethereally between the front and back dials. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The Duoface mechanism, patented by Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1994, enables this Reverso to display two different time zones—one on each dial—using a single movement. This functionality transforms the timepiece into an ideal companion for the global traveler, while the manually wound Calibre 179 delivers a reliable 40-hour power reserve. The reverse dial continues the artistic narrative with black lacquer highlighting the skeletonised hours-minutes ring and its supporting bridges, creating an airy aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with the warm tones of various movement components and the soft texture of micro-blasting. Just as the front dial, the verso back dial is a treat for the eyes and a show stopper with the multi-axis gyrotourbillon visible at six o’clock from both sides. The case itself remains true to the iconic Reverso design, with its instantly recognizable rectilinear geometry and signature gadroons above and below the dial. The inside of the cradle features a deeply engraved sunray pattern radiating from a black lacquer disc. Despite housing the highly complex 382-component Calibre 179, the case maintains an elegant profile of just 13.63 mm in thickness. Even the 18K pink gold folding buckle demonstrates Jaeger-LeCoultre's commitment to excellence. Weighing nearly 30 grams and incorporating 46 components, the patented adjustable buckle features a double-wheel system that allows for micro-adjustments to the nearest 0.5 mm, ensuring perfect comfort on the wrist. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize On the Wrist & Price Crafted for connoisseurs who appreciate both mechanical ingenuity and artistic mastery, the Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179 Black Lacquer and pink gold represents a noble expression of the 180 skills united under one roof at the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. A watch that gives you a spectacle within the micro-mechanics and micro-engineering that lies within. On your wrist, prepare to wear a captivating timepiece that will become a conversation starter for both those who know and those who don’t. Just another incredible example of the mastery of La Grande Maison and the watchmaker of watchmakers. Sticker Price Upon Request. More info on Jaeger-LeCoultre here.

Built around the fourth evolution of the Gyrotourbillon, the new Reverso pairs serious mechanical credentials with a hand-engraved 18K pink gold case depicting Pegasus soaring through a field of clouds—a motif carried through to the dial in hand-lacquered relief. Things to Know About the WatchThe 51.1 mm x 31 mm case, 12.41 mm thick, is rendered in 18K pink gold and requires 180 hours of focused engraving work per piece. The relief carving wraps seamlessly around the convex case-sides, almost entirely obscuring the join between the upper and lower sections—a technical detail that speaks to the discipline behind the artistry. The cloud motif from the case migrates to the front dial, where two pink gold dial plates sit at different levels around the time display and tourbillon aperture. More than 50 hollows were milled into these plates and then hand-filled with varying shades of blue lacquer, applied in successive layers until perfectly flush with the cloud-shaped outlines. The open-worked bridges between the plates are also hand-lacquered in dark blue, offering a glimpse into the calibre below in keeping with the Hybris philosophy of celebrating mechanical and decorative art in equal measure. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The MovementCaliber 179 is a manually wound Duoface movement displaying hours and minutes on both dials, a second time zone with a 24-hour indicator on the reverse, and the Gyrotourbillon visible from front and back. The multi-axis regulator comprises 123 components, including an ultra-light titanium inner cage that completes a full rotation every 16 seconds and a peripheral carriage on ball bearings that rotates once per minute. The peripheral carriage also drives a small-seconds ring around the tourbillon aperture. At the heart of the mechanism, a greyed semi-spherical balance spring works in concert with a double-anchor Gyrolab balance—both engineered to reduce air friction and sharpen rate stability. The reverse dial is fully skeletonized, with approximately 14 hours of hand-bevelling dedicated to the Gyrotourbillon cage alone and another eight for the signature reverse-side bridge. The movement provides a power reserve of 40 hours when fully wound. On the Wrist & PriceOn the wrist, the Pegasus reads as a sculptural object first and a wristwatch second. The pink gold engraving catches light across its raised cloud relief, while the blue-lacquered dial draws the eye to the floating Gyrotourbillon suspended above its mirror-polished blue disc. Despite the complication count, the refined lugs and Art Deco proportions keep it elegantly wearable. The blue alligator strap is fitted with a 46-component double-wheel folding clasp in pink gold, micro-adjustable to 0.5 mm.For true connoisseurs of art and mechanics, the Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179 Pegasus is a five-piece distillation of the 180 skills assembled under one roof at the Manufacture.Sticker Price EUR 650,000—approx USD 756,000.

A year later, the Manufacture rounds out the proposition with the obvious second move: the same watch, executed entirely in 18K white gold. Limited to 200 pieces, it is the cool, monochromatic counterpart to last year's warm-toned original—and, depending on which side of the gold debate one falls on, arguably the more wearable of the two. Things to Know About the WatchThe case dimensions remain unchanged from the 2025 reference: 45.6 mm x 27.4 mm, with a profile of 7.56 mm. These are the slimmer contemporary Tribute proportions, and on the wrist, they read distinctly different in white gold than in pink—less jewelry, more architecture. The 50-component swiveling Reverso construction is intact, with the solid case back once again serving as a blank canvas for personalization through engraving, enamel, or gem-setting at the wearer's request. The defining shift is the chromatic register. Where the pink gold version played a warm-on-warm monochrome with its 4N grained dial, the white gold edition pairs the polished case with a silvered finely-grained dial—soft and powdery in texture, catching light very differently than its sibling. The applied indexes and Dauphine hands stand out with a luminous shine against the matte surface, and the result is something closer to platinum-era restraint than to the cocktail-watch lineage that defines the rest of the 'Or Deco' family. The Milanese mesh bracelet is, as ever, the conceptual anchor. Requiring more than 10 meters of 18K white gold per piece, the bracelet was developed in lockstep with the Reverso's profile rather than retrofitted to it. The specialized attachment link passes the barrette directly through the mesh, with redesigned lug holes accommodating the integration, and the sliding clasp is infinitely adjustable—a small detail that materially affects daily wear. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The MovementPowering the watch is the same manually-wound in-house Calibre 822 that has anchored the Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds since its introduction. Shaped to follow the geometry of the rectangular case, the movement displays hours, minutes, and small seconds at 6 o'clock with a 42-hour power reserve. It is not a complicated calibre, and it does not need to be. The Reverso Tribute Monoface has always been about form discipline, and the Calibre 822 is engineered to disappear into it. On the Wrist & PriceOn the wrist, the white gold execution does something the pink gold original does not: it disappears. The cool metal reads almost like polished steel from a conversational distance, and the silvered grained dial absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The Milanese mesh continues to be the surprise—it drapes like fabric, weighs meaningfully without being burdensome, and adjusts via the sliding clasp to a fit that no traditional gold bracelet can match. The Reverso has worn many bracelets over its 95 years; this one may be the most successful since the original cordonnet straps of the 1930s.Sticker Price Upon Request.

There's a particular stillness that descends when you first encounter a masterfully rendered Japanese garden, the kind of quietude that makes the outside world recede, leaving only the interplay of stone, water, and living things arranged with deliberate grace. Jaquet Droz has captured precisely that sensation in what might be their most ambitious decorative arts achievement to date: a unique Petite Heure Minute created in collaboration with a discerning collector who understood that some visions require partnership rather than commission. Things to Know About the WatchThe Petite Heure Minute Red Gold Japanese Garden unique piece, represents an evolution in mother-of-pearl artistry that goes far beyond surface decoration. While many manufactures employ mother-of-pearl as an accent material, an appliqué here and there, or a full dial plate, this unique piece constructs an entire three-dimensional landscape over a mother-of-pearl and 18K red gold dial with more than twenty individual appliqués, some of them hand-carved and hand-painted. The mother-of-pearl dial is hand-engraved, a task that is extremely hard to accomplish considering the innate brittle nature of the material, and then hand-painted to depict a whole landscape. Then, more than twenty individual appliqués, each hand-carved and hand-engraved, are positioned to create layers of depth, transforming the watch dial into a living scenario. All appliqués are hand-sculpted, engraved, and hand-painted, including a lantern with an enamel center and two koi fish positioned over a pond filled with water lilies, pebble stones, and foliage. The 41 mm case in 18K red gold provides a warm frame for this miniature world, its polished surfaces catching the light while the dial beneath recreates the contemplative serenity of a traditional Japanese garden. Every element, from carved foliage to architectural details, has been rendered in mother-of-pearl with the kind of patient craftsmanship that measures production time not in weeks but months. The Ateliers d'Art artisans employed both carving and engraving techniques, working the brittle material with microscopic precision to achieve the dimensional quality that sets this piece apart from conventional decorative dials. The off-centered time display at 12 o'clock, rendered in matching 18K red gold hands, respects the brand's historic Petite Heure Minute architecture while allowing the garden scene to dominate the visual narrative. The dial is completed with a cherry blossom tree in full bloom. The MovementPowering this piece is the Jaquet Droz manufacture Caliber 2653, a self-winding automatic movement beating at 28,800 vph with a 68-hour power reserve. The movement features a silicon balance spring and pallet horns, a red gold oscillating weight with a hand-painted mother-of-pearl inlay depicting a dragonfly over a flower, and a double-barrel configuration that's become a Jaquet Droz signature. In SummaryThis is a unique piece—a one-of-one creation that exists because collector and manufacture found common cause in pursuing something that neither could have realized alone. That collaborative spirit, rare in haute horlogerie, produced a watch that transcends the usual categories of limited editions or special orders. It's priced accordingly and available upon request for those who understand that certain expressions of artistry aren't about numbers but about singular vision.The Jaquet Droz Petite Heure Minute Red Gold Japanese Garden stands as proof that some of watchmaking's most compelling achievements occur when technical mastery serves aesthetic ambition without compromise.

Leroy Elyor Tourbillon Seconde Centrale—An Exquisite Timepiece in Three Metals (Live Photos) Few names in French watchmaking carry the weight of L.Leroy. Founded in Paris in 1785 by Charles Leroy, the Maison was appointed official watchmaker to the French royal court before becoming supplier to the French Naval Ministry in 1835—a role it held longer than any other manufacturer, producing more than 2,200 marine chronometers for naval fleets across Europe. The "Leroy 01," presented at the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition, remained the standard for highly complicated watchmaking for nearly nine decades. Acquired in 2004 by Miguel Rodríguez of the Festina Group, the Maison is now staging a deliberate return to haute horlogerie. The Osmior Elyor is its latest statement.The Osmior Elyor is its latest statement: a 42 mm flying tourbillon with a self-winding movement with an integrated micro-rotor, developed exclusively for L.Leroy in Geneva and marking several firsts for the brand. Things to Know About the WatchThe name "Elyor" is not arbitrary; it is an anagram of "Leroy." During the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution (1793–1794), the house used this anagram to sign its creations and avoid persecution, as the family name sounded too closely associated with royalty. That history now lends the collection its identity. The Elyor arrives in three executions: grade 5 titanium as ref. LL311/1 with a silver dial, platinum 950 as ref. LL310/1 with an ALD-treated sky-blue dial, and 18K 5N gold ref. LL309/1 with an anthracite dial and gold accents. Each multi-layered dial features a "Clous de Paris" hobnail motif at the center. This centuries-old guillochage technique creates a network of micro-pyramidal relief that captures and redirects light, adding depth and a three-dimensional quality to an otherwise flat surface. It is a technique most associated with classic French and Swiss dress watchmaking, and its presence here connects the Elyor explicitly to that tradition. Applied Arabic numerals in L.Leroy's signature style appear on the smooth section of the dial, and the flying tourbillon aperture at 6 o'clock takes the center stage. The tourbillon cage is topped by a titanium bridge bearing the interlaced double ‘L’ monogram of the brand’s logo. The tourbillon functions simultaneously as the dial's focal point and its most technically demanding element. While most 60-second tourbillons incorporate the seconds indicator on the tourbillon bridge, L.Leroy has opted for a central seconds hand. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The case is tambour-shaped, measuring 42 mm in diameter and 9.90 mm thick, with a domed sapphire crystal—a total thickness of 11.88 mm including the crystal. The watch features a polished domed bezel, a fluted crown engraved with the Maison's logo, and a caseback ring with frosted segments and polished relief engravings. Both dial-side and case back sapphire crystals feature anti-reflective treatment. The watches are delivered on a black alligator leather strap with large scales, lined with small scales, tone-on-tone stitching, and an open-worked folding clasp in matching case material, itself engraved with the double "L." The MovementThe Elyor is powered by the calibre L600, an automatic movement developed exclusively for L.Leroy in Geneva. Its 288 components include a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock, which completes one rotation per minute and is visible through an aperture framed by a Grade 5 titanium bridge shaped into the Maison's interlaced double "L" monogram. For the first time in L.Leroy's history, the calibre integrates a micro-rotor—a gilded Inermet—tungsten-based alloy—rotor with satin-finished geometric surface decoration and a raised polished logo. The movement beats at 21,600 vph, houses 34 jewels, and delivers a 60-hour power reserve. The bridges carry a frosted finish with rhodium plating. On the Wrist & Price On the wrist, the L.Leroy Elyor wears its 42 mm footprint with discipline. The tambour case keeps the profile cohesive across all three material variants. This is a watch built as a wearable argument for a 240-year-old name's right to compete in contemporary haute horlogerie, and on the evidence we’re presenting here, the argument is convincing.Sticker Price USD 118,800 for rose gold, USD 138,000 for platinum, and USD 82,800 for titanium.

It was American enthusiasts who first championed the independent watchmaker's debut creation at the GPHG that year, providing the early validation that encouraged Laurent Ferrier to build not merely a collection, but a lasting brand. Now, as the United States approaches its semiquincentennial, the Geneva-based atelier has created the Classic Origin 250, a limited-edition piece that honors both this milestone anniversary for the U.S. and the collectors who helped launch the maison's journey. The Classic Origin 250 is limited to twenty-five pieces exclusively for the U.S. market. Things to Know About the WatchThe Classic Origin 250 builds upon one of Laurent Ferrier's most recognizable case shapes, featuring the 40 mm titanium case whose pebble-polished contours and generous ball-shaped crown have become signatures of the manufacture's design language. Where this commemorative edition distinguishes itself is through its dial, which employs a subtle yet layered approach to storytelling that rewards closer examination.The slightly patinated opaline beige dial establishes an understated foundation, its warm tonality enhanced by brown transfers on the logo, railway minute track, central cross, and hour markers. Most notably, red calligraphic initials representing the thirteen original colonies replace the traditional minute numerals around the dial's perimeter. These scarlet markings provide the only bold color accent, joined by an equally vivid rendering of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" alongside the commemorative dates "1776-2026." View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Perhaps the dial's most compelling feature reveals itself gradually: the complete text of the Declaration of Independence appears in beige-on-beige screen printing, emerging and receding as light plays across the surface. The seconds subdial at 6 o’clock features immaculate snailing, adding depth to the dial. This ephemeral quality creates a contemplative interaction with the timepiece, the founding document's words materializing and fading in a manner that suggests their enduring yet sometimes elusive ideals. The composition is completed by 18K white gold Assegai hands that maintain Laurent Ferrier's commitment to refined elegance. The MovementVisible through the case back is the manual-wound calibre LF116.01 with immaculate finishing. The famous long-blade ratchet—inspired by pocket watches of the previous century and meticulously hand-finished—delivers the tactile winding experience that Laurent Ferrier collectors have come to appreciate. An eighty-hour power reserve provides extended autonomy between winding sessions.The movement receives comprehensive hand finishing, with sand-blasted, black rhodium-coated bridges contrasting with hand-polished edges and screws. Even internal angles showcase the painstaking work of the manufacture’s watchmakers. On the Wrist & PriceThe Classic Origin 250 wears with the understated refinement that defines Laurent Ferrier. At 40 mm, the titanium case achieves that rare balance of presence without ostentation, its pebble-polished contours sitting comfortably while the 10.70 mm thickness maintains a svelte profile beneath a cuff. The dial's warm beige tonality proves surprisingly versatile, reading as cream in certain light before shifting to richer ivory under direct illumination. This chameleonic quality extends to the beige-on-beige Declaration text, which materializes and recedes with wrist movement—a contemplative detail that rewards the wearer rather than demanding attention. The brown calfskin strap with ivory stitching complements the dial beautifully, reinforcing the piece's cohesive warmth. Sticker Price USD 44,000. For more info on Laurent Ferrier, click here.

For Watches and Wonders 2026, Les Ateliers Louis Moinet returns with a new edition of the 1816 Chronograph that adds something the original lacked—color. The occasion is the 210th anniversary of Louis Moinet's invention, and the chosen hue is champagne. It is a better choice than it might sound. Things to Know About the WatchThe case is unchanged from the original 1816 Chronograph: 40.6 mm in diameter, double-gadroon profile in polished and satin-finished grade 5 titanium, composed of 51 parts. The Directoire-era semi-bassine silhouette remains intact, along with the fleur-de-lys winding crown—the emblem of Bourges, Moinet's birthplace—with the two understated pushers flanking it.The dial is where this edition makes its statement. The warm champagne tone washes across the dial plate and the three subdial centers, adding depth and warmth where the rhodium original was deliberately cool and restrained. The effect is closer to the golden-hued bridges of the LM1816 calibre than to anything decorative—the color is meant to echo the movement itself, letting the mechanics define the character of the piece. Rhodium-plated rings on the counters create a clear visual hierarchy, preserving legibility against the warmer background. Heat-blued steel hands for the chronograph, the totalizers, and the openworked hours and minutes provide the necessary contrast.The most historically resonant change is on the 12-hour totalizer, which now uses Roman numerals rather than Arabic ones, directly referencing the original 1816 instrument. It is a small shift on paper and a meaningful one in practice: it reads differently, more archival, more connected to the source material. The subdial layout itself is unchanged with a small seconds and 30-minute jumping totalizer arranged symmetrically across the upper half of the dial, the 12-hour counter below, the flange divided in increments of six and fastened with four blued-steel screws.The grade 5 titanium bracelet—the "Project BRIDGE" design, the first metal bracelet Louis Moinet has ever produced—receives champagne DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating on its intermediate links. This picks up the dial color at the wrist, underscoring the U-shaped architecture of those links and tying the bracelet visually to the dial without forcing the connection. The MovementCalibre LM1816 was developed from scratch in collaboration with Concepto, its architecture dictated from the outset by the dial layout above. That's the correct order of operations: the dial defined the movement, not the reverse. The result is a manual-wound, column-wheel chronograph comprising 330 components and 34 jewels, beating at 28,800 vph to provide a 48-hour power reserve.The instantaneous jumping minute counter is the mechanical centerpiece. Unlike a trailing counter—where the hand crawls continuously—the jumping mechanism snaps the totalizer hand to the next graduation precisely at the 60th second, enabling error-free elapsed-minute readings. A wolf-tooth wheel, cam, rocker, and pawl accomplish this with an isolator built into the reset mechanism to prevent damage on fly-back. The column wheel coordinates the start, stop, and reset phases with the smooth engagement expected at this level. The swan-neck regulator, invented in 1867 and still the most elegantly functional regulator design in the canon, adjusts rate via micrometer screw. The open case back shows gold-plated bridges, blued screws, and red rubies in sharp contrast, a movement worth looking at. Summary & PriceThe Louis Moinet 1816 Chronograph makes its case through historical legitimacy and mechanical seriousness. The integrated calibre, the faithful dial architecture, and the brand's own founding connection to the chronograph's invention give it a coherence that few chronographs can honestly claim. This is a watch built from a real story.Sticker Price USD 38,500. For more info on Louis Moinet click here.

For 2026, the collection goes darker and more charged with two new editions in red and black, each with its own route to ownership. The M.A.D.2 R&B and REDemption arrive with both design and distribution refined by experience. For a project that started as a single email to 500 people, M.A.D.Editions has developed into something genuinely distinct and REDemption, in particular, represents a kind of loyalty program that no other watch brand has ever attempted with this level of sincerity. Things to Know About the WatchThe M.A.D.2's design language carries through both new editions: a 42mm pebble-shaped stainless steel and sapphire case, raised central subdials evoking DJ turntable platters, a central dial grooved like a vinyl record, and a stroboscopic winding rotor—visible from both sides—inspired by the legendary Technics SL-1200 MK2. What changes is the colorway and, more interestingly, the story each one tells. The M.A.D.2 R&B—Red & Black—, with a nod to the music genre that never left the dance floor, pairs a midnight-black dial plate and strap with red jumping-hour and trailing-minute discs. It follows the established M.A.D.Editions raffle format: registration open for one week, with the draw conducted under bailiff supervision to ensure a fair and transparent process. The M.A.D.2 REDemption is something else entirely. It inverts the colorway with a bright red dial plate, black discs, and inverts the acquisition model entirely. This edition is reserved exclusively for fans who have entered at least four previous M.A.D.Editions raffles without ever winning. No new raffle. No competing with thousands of fresh entrants. The M.A.D.Editions team contacts qualifying fans directly and offers them the piece outright. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters. The MovementBoth editions run the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 calibre, beating at 4 Hz with 24 jewels and a 64-hour power reserve via automatic winding. The movement is paired with a bi-directional jumping-hour module developed in-house by the MB&F team. The mechanism that gives the M.A.D.2 its signature instantaneous hour display alongside a trailing minutes disc. The winding rotor on the REDemption carries an engraving that says everything: "They say I'm stubborn, I'd say persistent." It is, in every sense, earned. Meanwhile, the R&B says, “It’s a Mad World.” Sticker PriceSticker Price CHF 2,900—approx. USD 3,600. For more info on MB&F and the M.A.D. Gallery click here.

The M.A.D.Editions X Yinka Ilori M.A.D.1S 'Grow Your Dreams' collection doesn't just tell time, it tells a story of cultural fusion, artistic vision, and the boundless power of dreaming without limits. Three limited editions of 400 pieces each delivered with an interchangeable mismatched colored strap and a white strap: ‘Water’ with a blue rotor, and a pistachio and light blue strap; ‘Nature’ with a green rotor, and a pink and red strap;‘and lastly, ‘Sun’ with a yellow rotor, and a yellow and green strap. The 'Sun', 'Nature', and 'Water' editions don't just represent Ilori's color palette—they embody his belief that dreams, like trees, require patience, nurturing, and time to flourish. A Chance Encounter That Changed EverythingSometimes the most extraordinary partnerships begin with the simplest moments. Picture this: Maximilian Büsser, the visionary behind MB&F and M.A.D.Editions, relaxing during a summer 2023 holiday, casually flipping through magazines. In that moment of serendipity, he stumbled upon the vibrant world of Yinka Ilori MBE—a British-Nigerian multidisciplinary artist whose work transforms the mundane into the magical through explosive color and joy-infused design. What happened next reads like a fairy tale for the design world. Within six days of that magazine discovery, Ilori was in Geneva, stepping into the M.A.D.Editions universe to explore an entirely new canvas: the wristwatch. This wasn't just a business meeting—it was the beginning of a creative journey that would challenge both artists to push beyond their comfort zones and create something unprecedented in horological history. Yinka Ilori's artistic philosophy centers on one powerful mantra: "Grow Your Dreams." For an artist who has transformed everything from London playgrounds to McLaren supercars into canvases of optimism, the watch represented both the ultimate challenge and the perfect metaphor. Here was an object that lives intimately with its wearer, something both deeply personal and publicly visible—exactly the kind of paradox that fascinates Ilori. Things to Know About the WatchWhat makes this collaboration truly remarkable isn't just the visual impact—though the mismatched rubber straps and anodized titanium rotors certainly command attention. It's the seamless marriage of technical innovation with artistic expression housed within a purposeful 42 mm stainless steel case that measures 15 mm in height—dimensions that strike an ideal balance between presence and wearability. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The introduction of HyCeram—a high-tech liquid ceramic that's precision-machined into grooves within the bezel and finished with hand-polishing—represents a first for M.A.D.Editions, pushing manufacturing boundaries to realize Ilori's colorful vision. Protected by mineral glass and sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both faces, the watch maintains 30-meter water resistance while showcasing its vibrant mechanical theater. At the heart of each timepiece beats the Swiss-made Manufacture LaJoux-Perret G101 movement, a sophisticated calibre featuring a rotating hours cylinder with SuperLumiNova numerals and an impressive 68-hour power reserve. The movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph with 24 jewels, ensuring both precision and reliability. The team spent months reimagining the automatic winding rotor, making it slimmer while maintaining its signature performance, then meticulously milling each titanium blade with Ilori's tree motif before anodizing it to achieve the three distinct colorways: yellow for 'Sun', green for 'Nature', and blue for 'Water'. Each watch pulses with SuperLumiNova accents that illuminate Ilori's motto in the dark, creating an intimate dialogue between wearer and timepiece that extends beyond daylight hours. The stamped wave patterns on the aluminum baseplate create a mesmerizing 3D effect beneath the movement, while the leaf-detailed rubber straps—each watch comes with both a mismatched colorway strap and an interchangeable white option—ensure that every element tells part of the larger story. As Ilori himself reflects on the process: "You have to be patient and harvest a watch. There are similarities between our universes... there's something very private and public about a watch. Everyone sees it, but it's you who has that connection with it."With only 400 pieces of each colorway available worldwide, these timepieces will undoubtedly become coveted collectibles. But more importantly, they represent a new paradigm in watch collecting—one where cultural storytelling, artistic vision, and personal expression take their rightful place alongside complications and craftsmanship. As with previous M.A.D.Editions, a portion of the ‘Grow Your Dreams’ pieces will go to the Tribe—MB&F owners—and Friends—suppliers—on a first come, first served basis. The rest will be offered to the public via a raffle, giving access to purchasing the M.A.D.1S Grow Your Dreams. The raffle opens Tuesday, September 2nd and closes Monday, September 8th. Registration is free. The M.A.D.1S 'Grow Your Dreams' collection doesn't just ask us to reconsider what a luxury watch can be—it demands that we dream bigger, think bolder, and wear our aspirations with pride. In a world that too often tells us to scale back our dreams, this collaboration stands as a vibrant reminder that the most beautiful growth happens when we refuse to be contained by convention.Sticker Price CHF 3,200—approx USD 4,000.

What began as a deceptively simple provocation was the question of whether a watch could function as the head of a robot? It took five years of engineering, redesign, and creative problem-solving before it was ready to be seen. Rather than marking the close of MB&F's second decade, HM12 now opens the third, arriving as both a statement of intent and a return to first principles: mechanical objects with soul, wonder, and technical substance that earn their spectacle.The HM12 The Guardian also carries a significant creative footnote. For two decades, MB&F's watches have been shaped by founder and creative director Maximilian Büsser alongside designer Eric Giroud, a collaboration that continues. But HM12 The Guardian is the first piece born entirely from the partnership of "Max & Max": Büsser and Maximilian Maertens, the young designer who joined the MB&F orbit eight years ago, working primarily on clocks and music boxes. This is their first wristwatch and sculpture together, and it announces itself accordingly. Things to Know About the MB&F HM12 The GuardianThe architecture of the HM12 reads as a robot's—The Guardian—face rendered in titanium and sapphire crystal, and it delivers on that reading with genuine horological substance. Two eyes display bidirectional jumping hours and trailing minutes. A 60-second flying tourbillon occupies the position of the brain. A battle-axe-shaped mouth doubles as a double-sided micro-rotor. The result is one of the most anthropomorphic dials in the brand's history, and one of the most mechanically demanding. The watch is easily placed on the robot’s head and removed to be worn on the wrist. The watch detaches via a quick-release system and clips into place as the robot's face, completing the figure. The HM12 WristwatchThe HM12 wristwatch is symmetrical, including its two crowns. One handles winding and time-setting; the other activates something else entirely. Turn it, and a protective face shield slides mechanically into place across the transformer robot's face, adding blue color and shifting the watch's entire character. That single mechanism contains more than 200 components, roughly a third of the movement’s 646 components. The grade 5 titanium case is composed of 84 components with mobile lugs at 12 o’clock and fixed lugs at 6 o’clock, equipped with a tool-free removable strap—for when the watch will be placed as the robot’s face. The watch measures 49.3 mm x 43.6 mm with a thickness of 13.8 mm. Flip HM12 over, and the tone changes. Where the dial side is futuristic and sculptural, the movement side is an exercise in classical hand-finishing: grained, bercé, and colimaçonné finishing across bridges and barrels. The domed micro-rotor's reverse face features guillochage by Brodbeck Guillochage, the workshop of MB&F Friend Kari Voutilainen. The watch alone totals 730 components across the movement—646 parts—and case, a figure that tells only half the story. The HM12 Guardian SculptureIf the watch is the head, it needs a body. MB&F HM12 The Guardian is a full mechanical companion designed by Maximilian Maertens and produced by L’Epée 1839. The Guardian contains 755 components—more than the watch itself—including a mechanical thermometer at the chest, articulated arms, a hidden loupe that serves as a shield on the right arm, and a UV flashlight—that hides under the left arm—for charging the generous SuperLumiNova applied to both watch and robot. Together, HM12 The Guardian comprises nearly 1,500 components and stands 38.2 cm tall—15 inches—with a base that includes a storage drawer for the strap measuring 22 cm in diameter—8.6 inches—and a total weight of 15 kilograms—33 pounds.

MB&F has confirmed these launch editions are also the last: there will never be additional HM12 The Guardians produced. The scarcity is absolute and by design. The MovementThe HM12 movement is among the most complex MB&F has developed. This self-winding automatic movement features 646 components across a construction that accommodates a 60-second flying tourbillon, bidirectional jumping hours, trailing minutes, a double-sided micro-rotor, and the 200-component face shield mechanism. The case in titanium and sapphire adds further engineering complexity through its curved surfaces, multiple finishing types, and mobile lug architecture. Hand-finishing on the movement bridges employs three distinct techniques—grained, bercé, and colimaçonné—while the micro-rotor's reverse bears hand-engraved guillochage from Brodbeck Guillochage in Voutilainen's atelier. The movement provides an 84-hour power reserve when fully wound.

Developed from scratch with independent Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, the LM Perpetual broke decisively from convention by retiring the grand levier in favor of a fully integrated, dial-side complication. We've followed its evolution closely ever since—from the Palladium with aquamarine dial and Yellow Gold editions through the Stainless Steel Salmon Dial, the recent LM Perpetual Longhorn, and the gem-set LM Perpetual EVO Baguette Diamonds Seddiqi Limited Edition. For 2026, the LM Perpetual takes a brighter turn with the Chromatic Editions—three new references that frame the dial-side architecture in a hand-set baguette gemstone bezel without altering a millimeter of the case. Things to Know About the WatchThe new MB&F LM Perpetual Chromatic series consists of three references, each limited to just 8 pieces—by a meaningful margin among the rarest LM Perpetuals ever produced. Two editions are housed in 18K white gold, fitted with bezels set with either blue sapphires—1.95 carats, from Madagascar and Sri Lanka—or purple sapphires—1.93 carats, from Madagascar. The third edition arrives in 18K red gold, set with red rubies—1.95 carats, from Mozambique. Each bezel carries 48 baguette-cut gemstones, all hand-set in Geneva by STG Création—a long-term MB&F partner. The result is an unbroken chromatic frame around the open dial, achieved without expanding the established 44 mm case diameter. Hands are PVD-treated to match the purple, blue, and 5N finishes to echo the red-gold case. Dimensions remain 44 mm x 17.5 mm and are water-resistant to 30 meters. The MovementThe LM Perpetual Chromatic editions are powered by the same fully integrated 581-component, manual-wound calibre that has anchored the LM Perpetual since 2015. Rather than treating the perpetual calendar as a module bolted atop a base movement, McDonnell built the entire architecture around a "mechanical processor"—a stack of superimposed disks that, each month, defaults to 28 days and adds the required days from there, rather than scrolling past redundant ones. The calendar cannot mis-jump; its quickset pushers disconnect during changeover; and the year can be set independently in seconds rather than scrolled through 47 months.The movement provides a 72-hour power reserve from twin mainspring barrels, with hand-engraved bridges, internal bevels, and Geneva waves throughout. The 14 mm suspended balance is connected to the escapement via what MB&F describes as likely the longest balance staff in series production, which remains the visual signature beneath the new gemstone frame. Summary & PriceIn a collection now numbering twelve distinct executions, the Chromatic trio stakes out fresh aesthetic territory for the LM Perpetual without touching the mechanics that made the original a modern classic. Eight pieces per reference is a vanishingly small number for a watch of this stature. Here is the full list of LM Perpetual executions to date:Platinum with blue dial — limited to 25 pieces18K red gold with grey dial — limited to 25 pieces18K white gold with purple dial — limited to 25 pieces18K white gold with dark grey dial — unlimitedGrade 5 titanium with green dial — limited to 50 pieces18K yellow gold with blue dial — limited to 25 piecesPalladium with aquamarine dial — limited to 25 piecesStainless steel with salmon dial — unlimitedStainless steel with diamond-set bezel — exclusive to Ahmed Seddiqi, 5 pieces18K red gold with red rubies bezel — limited to 8 pieces (new Chromatic)18K white gold with blue sapphires bezel — limited to 8 pieces (new Chromatic)18K white gold with purple sapphires bezel — limited to 8 pieces (new Chromatic)Sticker Price USD 312,000.

The relationship between MB&F and Ahmed Seddiqi exemplifies this truth, and to celebrate the Dubai retailer's 75th anniversary in 2025, the two partners aren't just releasing one limited edition—they're unveiling two extraordinarily rare timepieces that represent the pinnacle of independent watchmaking.Since its 2015 debut, the Legacy Machine Perpetual—which earned GPHG recognition—has established itself as a cornerstone reference among MB&F collectors. The model subsequently spawned multiple EVO variants engineered for everyday wearability, incorporating practical enhancements including 80-meter water resistance, a screw-down crown, an integrated rubber strap, and MB&F's proprietary FlexRing shock protection system.Both the LM Perpetual EVO—limited to 7 pieces—and the LM Perpetual Baguette Diamonds—limited to 5 pieces—are powered by Stephen McDonnell's revolutionary perpetual calendar movement, widely regarded as one of the most innovative complications in modern horology. This isn't merely a commemorative dial color change; these are thoughtfully executed editions that honor a meaningful relationship while showcasing MB&F's technical mastery. The LM Perpetual EVO 75th Anniversary Seddiqi Limited Edition comprises just seven examples, each housed in Grade 5 titanium and incorporating all the enhanced durability features that define the EVO line. The LM Perpetual EVO edition houses this remarkable 72-hour power reserve movement in a 44 mm Grade 5 titanium case measuring 17.5mm thick, with MB&F's patented FlexRing shock protection system. The signature blue color—first introduced on the LM101 MB&F x H. Moser created for Ahmed Seddiqi in 2020—appears on the sub-dials, creating striking contrast against the anthracite dial plate. With 80 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown, and an integrated rubber strap with a titanium folding buckle, this is perpetual calendar watchmaking designed for real-world wear. The case back engraving commemorates the milestone anniversary. The LM Perpetual Baguette Diamonds 75th Anniversary Seddiqi Limited Edition takes exclusivity further with a mere 5-piece production run. This marks a historic first for the Legacy Machine Perpetual family: a meticulously executed bezel featuring 48 baguette-cut diamonds and cased in stainless steel. This variant inverts the color scheme of its EVO sibling—here, the signature blue dominates the main dial, while black sub-dials display the hour, minute, day, month, and date indications. A white hand-stitched alligator strap with a stainless steel folding buckle completes the elegant presentation, though water resistance is reduced to 30 meters due to the gem-set bezel.Both editions showcase the perpetual calendar's dial-side architecture, where skeletonized subdials appear to float above the complication. The oversized 14mm balance wheel beating at 18,000vph sits prominently atop the movement, connected to the escapement below by what is likely the world's longest balance wheel pinion. Ahmed Seddiqi opened its first boutique in Bur Dubai in 1950, establishing itself as a pioneer in horology and championing independent brands. With only 12 pieces total between both editions, these watches represent one of MB&F's rarest releases—tangible expressions of a partnership that has helped shape independent watchmaking in the Middle East. Both editions are exclusively sold at Ahmed Seddiqi.Sticker Price Upon Request. For more info on MB&F, click here; for Ahmed Seddiqi here.

The twin-chronograph architecture, governed by the ingenious Twinverter binary switch, delivered independent timing, split-seconds, cumulative, and lap-timer functions within a single 44 mm case—functionality that made one wonder why conventional chronographs had settled for so little. Things to Know About the Watch Yet McDonnell's original vision encompassed more. His prototype movement actually incorporated a flyback system, though perfecting this feature took 9 months of development, including six complete redesigns. The complexity proved too great to include alongside so many unproven innovations. That ambition found realization in 2024 with the LM Sequential Flyback in the classic Legacy Machine case, and now, arrives within the sportier EVO collection as the LM Sequential Flyback EVO, distinguished by its grade 5 titanium construction and striking aquamarine dial plate. The flyback addition transforms an already remarkable complication into something approaching chronograph apotheosis. Where the standard Sequential configuration requires three operations—stop, reset, restart—to begin a new timing sequence, the flyback condenses this to a single press of the reset pusher while the chronograph runs. This seemingly modest enhancement multiplies practical applications considerably, particularly when combined with the Twinverter's ability to toggle both chronographs simultaneously. The Movement Considering aviation timing, the flyback’s raison d’être is one chronograph tracks total flight duration while the other measures individual waypoint segments, instantly resetting between legs. Or endurance racing, where lap times exceeding sixty seconds render conventional split-seconds chronographs inadequate—the Sequential Flyback's minutes totalisers positioned at 11 and 1 o'clock accommodate substantially longer intervals, while the flyback enables rapid sequential timing without notation delays.The technical achievement underlying this capability cannot be overstated. McDonnell's internally-jewelled vertical clutches eliminate the amplitude fluctuations plaguing traditional chronograph systems, while the flyback mechanism itself incorporates specially fabricated jewelled rollers—components unavailable from standard suppliers—to minimize friction that might otherwise impede the return-to-zero function. These innovations represent five distinct patents within the Sequential calibre's 621-component, 63-jewel architecture. A power reserve of 72 hours ensures reliable operation throughout extended wear. On the Wrist & PriceThe EVO specification brings MB&F's characteristic sporting refinements: 80-meter water resistance, screw-down crown, integrated rubber strap, and the FlexRing shock-absorption system protecting the movement during active use. This edition additionally inherits the tilted time display introduced in the classic Sequential—a six o'clock subdial angled toward the wearer for enhanced legibility. The flying balance wheel remains positioned at twelve o'clock, its visible oscillation at 21,600 vibrations per hour a reminder that both chronograph systems share a common escapement—the arrangement that enables such comprehensive timing functions without the chronometric discrepancies inherent in multiple independent mechanisms. For collectors who recognized the Sequential EVO's significance three years ago, this titanium edition with flyback capability represents the calibre's mature expression—McDonnell's original vision finally achieved in MB&F's most purposefully equipped chassis.Sticker Price USD 230,000.

It has served as MB&F's most elemental statement—the balance wheel, a power reserve indication, and the display of time, nothing more, arranged within one of the most architecturally three-dimensional movements the brand has ever conceived. It was also the first calibre entirely developed by MB&F's in-house engineering team, with input from Kari Voutilainen on design and finishing specifications. Last year, to mark MB&F's 20th anniversary, the LM101 received the EVO treatment previously applied to the LM Perpetual, the LM Split Escapement, and the LM Sequential. Two titanium editions were introduced with salmon and peacock green CVD dial plates, gaining 80 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown at 4 o'clock, an ergonomic bezel-free case with integrated rubber strap, SuperLumiNova on both subdials, an extended 60-hour power reserve, and MB&F's patented FlexRing shock absorber positioned between movement and case. The 40 mm diameter and 16.5 mm height of the case were left unchanged—a decision that underscores the degree to which the LM101's proportions remain integral to its character.The LM101 EVO NYC Edition does not exist in isolation. Its 25-piece allocation is tied directly to the opening of MB&F's first permanent address in Manhattan, the MB&F Lounge New York, located on the fifth floor of the Fuller Building at 595 Madison Avenue, the 1929 landmark that presides over the corner of 57th Street, the same building where the 1916 Company and De Bethune open their lounge and right across the Vacheron Constantin Flagship in NYC. MB&F Lounge New York: A Permanent Home on 57th StreetAfter more than two decades cultivating the American market through a network of trusted retail partners— Westime in Beverly Hills, Stephen Silver in Silicon Valley, Watches of Switzerland in Las Vegas, and Provident Jewelry in Jupiter, Florida, all of whom continue in their roles—MB&F has established something it has never had in New York before: a room of its own. The Lounge was designed with Voltige Design & Architecture, MB&F's long-standing collaborators, and the brief was not to build a boutique. What Voltige and MB&F have created instead is a sequence of intimate spaces—a cozy living room area, dedicated presentation zones, an office, and a private meeting room—that reflect how the brand actually prefers its work to be experienced: unhurried, in conversation, with mechanical art as the common language between host and guest. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The Fuller Building setting is not incidental. Completed in 1929 to a design by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon— the same firm that would deliver the Empire State Building two years later—the building occupies one of Midtown Manhattan's more quietly distinguished addresses, a block where architecture, art galleries, and a certain seriousness of purpose have coexisted for the better part of a century. That context suits MB&F's sensibility more naturally than a ground-floor retail corridor would. The MB&F Lounge New York is open by appointment, Monday through Friday, 9 am to 6 pm. Requests can be directed to nyc@mbandf.com. Things to Know About the WatchThe LM101 EVO NYC Edition translates that same platform into an 18K rose gold case paired with a black PVD-treated dial plate in a sunray-brushed finish. The contrast this creates with the signature flying 14 mm balance wheel and the two floating subdials—hours and minutes at 2 o’clock, power reserve at 6 o'clock—is immediately striking. Rose gold and black PVD is a well-understood combination in watchmaking, but MB&F's three-dimensional movement architecture gives it considerably more visual range than a conventional dial treatment would allow. The light catches the mirror-polished twin-arched bridge and the balance wheel from angles a flat dial cannot offer, and the sunray-brushed black plate shifts in character with every wrist movement. The full EVO specification carries over intact: 80 m water resistance, screw-down crown, FlexRing protection, 60-hour power reserve, and the bezel-free case geometry that allows the domed sapphire crystal to run uninterrupted to the case edges. The movement retains its NAC-blackened bridges, Geneva waves, hand-polished bevels, and the Straumann double hairspring beating at 18,000 vph. Anti-reflective coating appears on both surfaces of the domed sapphire crystal above and the box sapphire crystal caseback below. The MovementThe hand-wound caliber at the center of the LM101 EVO NYC Edition is the same movement developed in-house by MB&F with Kari Voutilainen's finishing and architectural influence. Its 233 components and 23 jewels are arranged to put the mechanics on display rather than conceal them. The bespoke 14 mm balance wheel—fitted with four traditional regulating screws and a Straumann double hairspring—floats above the movement on its mirror-polished twin-arched bridge. Power reserve runs to 60 hours at 18,000 vph. On the Wrist & PriceThe LM101 EVO NYC Edition is MB&F making a case for rose gold not as a conservative material choice but as one that rewards the movement's finishing at close range. Against that black PVD plate, the polished bridge and wheel read differently than they would against a neutral or metallic ground, which is, evidently, the point. Production is limited to 25 pieces, available exclusively through the new MB&F Lounge in New York.Sticker Price USD 105,000. For more info on MB&F click here.

Things to Know About the WatchThe MU09 NODE°'s case design has always occupied a distinctive visual territory, defined by the bolted construction, angular geometry, and unapologetically engineered silhouette. There's a passing resemblance in looks to Casio G-Shock's utilitarian toughness, though where Casio built a tool watch for the mass market, Mauron Musy has engineered something in the opposite direction: a bespoke, micro-production object built entirely in Switzerland. The comparison is meant with respect—both approaches prioritize function-first design, and the MU09 NODE° wears its industrial conviction just as honestly.That industrial integrity is anchored by the brand's patented NO-RING technology: a gasket-free sealing system rated to 200 meters that eliminates conventional elastomer seals entirely, using mechanical compression to achieve water resistance. It's the founding innovation of the manufacture, and it remains the structural DNA of the case. The MU09 NODE° launches in three references: MU09-101 with an anthracite ruthenium grained dial, MU09-102 in silver grained, and MU09-103 in sunburst blue. The integrated Grade 5 titanium bracelet—a first for the brand—machined from the same material as the 41 x 13 mm case, reads as a single continuous sculpture on the wrist. Brushed surfaces contrast with polished hexagonal transitions at each link, and the butterfly clasp closes with the kind of deliberate, mechanical satisfaction that reveals considered engineering. The MovementThe Calibre MM03 is the centerpiece. An exclusive in-house automatic movement comprising 232 components and 32 jewels set in traditional chatons, it oscillates at 28,800 vph and delivers a 96-hour power reserve—four days—via a ball-bearing tungsten micro-rotor. The free-sprung balance with inertia screws ensures stability, and the angular balance bridge commanding the composition at 9 o'clock through the semi-open dial gives the movement genuine visual drama. Every surface that can be finished by hand has been. On the Wrist & PriceAll share the same Grade 5 titanium integrated bracelet with an additional rubber strap included. Allocation is limited to 100 pieces in 2026. The MU09 NODE° is one of those watches that rewards a second, longer look, and then, quietly, a third.Sticker Price CHF 48,000—approx USD 61,000.

Guillaume Laidet built an entire collection around a single vintage piece from a collector's drawer, and the market responded with enthusiasm that even caught its creator off guard. Thousands sold, dozens of variants produced, a genuine following cultivated. The question was never whether Nivada Grenchen would evolve the F77—it was whether they could do so without erasing the qualities that made it matter. Things to Know About the WatchesThe F77 MKII answers with measured confidence. The case grows marginally to 38 mm, the lugs gain a softer curvature for improved wrist conformity, and critically for anyone who has wrestled with an integrated bracelet on a sub-USD 2,000 watch, the case is now drilled for easier strap changes. The octagonal bezel with its eight visible screws remains—and yes, the resemblance to the Royal Oak is impossible to ignore. Nivada Grenchen has never been shy about occupying the same aesthetic territory Gérald Genta defined in 1972, and at roughly one-fifteenth the price of entry, the F77 remains one of the more honest propositions in the integrated-bracelet sports watch category. The double-domed sapphire crystal also carries over. These are calibrated refinements, not a redesign. The MKI is officially discontinued; the MKII is now the standard. What commands attention, however, is the new Open Heart line—Nivada Grenchen's first—, planned for a later release. The MovementBeneath the spectacle sits the SOPROD M100BV—a first for Nivada Grenchen. Derived from the well-established A10 platform launched in 2004, this automatic movement comes with genuine production maturity. The "BV" designation denotes the visible balance wheel, which appears through the dial aperture. At 28,800 vph with a 42-hour power reserve, the specifications are workmanlike rather than exceptional, but the M100BV brings over two decades of iterative refinement that speaks more to reliability than any spec sheet can. In SummaryThe broader MKII collection fills out with braided-dial Classics in black, grey, blue, and white—available with or without date—and stone-dial variants in lapis lazuli, meteorite, green aventurine, and dark blue aventurine. The stone dials, previously offered as limited MKI editions that generated considerable collector interest in late 2025, are now integrated into the permanent lineup. For a brand approaching its centenary—Nivada Grenchen was founded in 1926—this is a collection that stakes its claim with both volume and ambition. On the Wrist & PriceOn the wrist, the Nivada Grenchen F77 MKII Collection’s revised lug geometry pays immediate dividends. The 38 mm titanium case hugs close and sits flat, with none of the stiffness that plagued the MKI's bracelet articulation. The matte, bead-blasted finish reads darker and more industrial than polished steel, lending a seriousness that belies the price point. At this diameter, it wears closer to a vintage sports watch than a modern statement piece—exactly where Nivada Grenchen wants to be.Sticker Price USD 1,160 with Braided Dial, and USD 1,360 with stone dial.

To commemorate the Milano Cortina 2026 games opening on February 6th, the Swiss manufacture has unveiled a distinctive interpretation of its legendary Seamaster Diver 300M in a 43.5 mm timepiece that translates the visual identity of these 25th Olympic Winter Games into a compelling collector's piece. Things to Know About the WatchThe watch's material composition immediately signals its Olympic Winter Games inspiration. Omega has executed the case in white ceramic and grade 5 titanium, creating a winter-appropriate aesthetic while delivering the lightweight strength these materials are celebrated for. The polished-brushed case body contrasts elegantly with the sandblasted helium escape valve and crown, while the white ceramic bezel ring features a laser-ablated diving scale rendered in positive relief—a technical detail that demonstrates Omega's mastery of ceramic fabrication. The dial represents the most distinctive element of this limited production. Crafted in white ceramic, it reveals laser-engraved frosting with a finger trace pattern directly inspired by the "26" within the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem. This textural effect creates depth and movement across the dial surface, while rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova ensure legibility remains uncompromised. The varnished central seconds hand features a subtle blue gradient—a thoughtful reference to the competition logo that introduces the only color accent across the otherwise monochromatic design. The Movement & Case BackInside the titanium case back, where a stamped Milano Cortina 2026 emblem permanently associates this reference with the games, beats the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806. This automatic movement delivers 55 hours of power reserve while meeting the METAS Swiss industry's highest chronometric certification standards—a level of precision entirely appropriate for an Olympic timepiece. The automatic movement's antimagnetic properties and accuracy specifications reflect the performance expectations collectors have come to associate with Omega's Master Chronometer designation.The grade 5 titanium case back employs Omega’s patented NAIAD Lock system—this time engraved and filled in black on the case back—, a bayonet-style fitting that ensures the stamped Milano Cortina 2026 emblem aligns perfectly in its intended orientation. Beyond the aesthetic consideration of proper engraving alignment, this self-centering mechanism enhances water resistance by creating a precise seal while preventing the cross-threading that can occur with traditional screw-down casebacks. The system represents the kind of engineering refinement that distinguishes modern Omega construction, where even seemingly minor details receive thoughtful technical solutions. Summary & PriceThe integrated white rubber strap, secured by a grade 5 titanium buckle, completes the package, which arrives in a special Milano Cortina 2026 presentation box. This Seamaster Diver 300M serves as the collector's link to the Olympic moment and a wearable tribute to winter-sport excellence, executed in materials and craftsmanship worthy of the occasion.StickerPrice USD 10,500.

Now, as the Paralympic Winter Games open in Northern Italy—a role Omega has held since 1992—the manufacture extends that same design vocabulary to a dedicated Paralympic edition that differs in two deliberate ways. The specifications are functionally identical to the Olympic version we covered in January. Things to Know About the Watch The Paralympic Seamaster Diver comes with the same specifications as its Seamaster Diver 300M Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games sibling, but swaps the blue seconds hand for a tri-color version. The case is still 43.5 mm in polished-brushed white ceramic and grade 5 titanium; the laser-engraved frosted dial, with its finger-trace pattern drawn from the "26" of the Milano Cortina emblem, remains, as do the rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with white SuperLumiNova. The unidirectional bezel with its laser-ablated diving scale in positive relief and the integrated white rubber strap with grade 5 titanium buckle all carry over unchanged. What separates this reference from its Olympic sibling comes down to two targeted modifications, both executed on the case back and the seconds hand. The varnished central seconds hand trades the Olympic edition's blue gradient for a tri-color transition through red, blue, and green—a direct nod to the three-colored Agitos symbol of the Paralympic movement. On the grade 5 titanium caseback, the stamped emblem now incorporates the Paralympic logo in place of the Olympic rings. The MovementInside, the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 provides a 55-hour power reserve and is certified to METAS standards, with a magnetic field resistance of 15,000 gauss. The movement features a co-axial escapement and a silicon balance spring—the same technically sound, if familiar, specification that powers the no-date variants across the Diver 300M range, including the 007 "No Time to Die" edition. Summary & PriceThis is not a limited edition, but its production window is inherently constrained by the Milano Cortina 2026 tie-in. Omega has applied the same approach it used for Paris 2024, where the Olympic and Paralympic editions shared a common design platform, with specific details distinguishing each. For collectors who acquired the blue-gradient Olympic version, the Paralympic edition offers the obvious pair; for those who passed on the first release, the tri-color seconds hand arguably delivers more visual interest on what is otherwise a monochromatic watch.The watch arrives in a dedicated white presentation box—just like its sibling—bearing the Paralympic emblem and the Milano Cortina 2026 logo.Sticker Price USD 10,500.

The release lands as the 38th America's Cup approaches Naples in 2027—the first time the event will be contested on Italian soil—giving this pairing of Swiss manufacture and Italian sailing ambition sharper stakes than usual. The Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono PAM01768 and Luminor Luna Rossa GMT PAM01791 each answer to that context through function chosen with purpose rather than decoration. Things to Know About the WatchThe Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT PAM01791 is the first Luna Rossa model presented on an integrated metal bracelet, housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case and signaling a shift toward broader everyday wearability within a line previously built around straps alone. The bracelet uses Panerai's PAM Click release system, allowing tool-free strap changes. Alongside, the Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono PAM01768 becomes the collection's first model offered on a Velcro strap, tapering from 24 mm at the case to 22 mm at the buckle, paired with a supplementary black rubber strap and housed in a 44 mm brushed steel case with a polished bezel. Both dials share a silver sun-brushed finish with white Super-LumiNova X2 and an "azurage" concentric-circle texture across the sub-dials, a detail meant to suggest moving water. The Chrono carries a tachymeter scale on the rehaut for calculating boat speed over a fixed distance, red-accented pushers positioned at 8 and 10 o'clock, and a limited run of 500 individually numbered pieces with a solid display case back. The GMT introduces a 12-hour "GMT Business" complication visible through the display case back, its hand shaped after the Luna Rossa boat's sail. Both watches are water-resistant to 100 meters, tested 25 percent beyond the rating at Panerai's Laboratorio di Idee. The MovementThe PAM01768 runs on the automatic calibre P.9210, a chronograph movement equipped with 41 jewels, a Glucydur balance, and a 42-hour power reserve from a single barrel; Panerai notes the automatic winding was specifically retuned at its Neuchâtel manufacture for a faster response. The PAM01791 houses the automatic P.900/GMT, a notably slim 5.20 mm thick movement with 23 jewels and a three-day power reserve from a single barrel, finished with a stop-second function for precise time-setting. On the Wrist & PriceSix years into the Luna Rossa partnership, Panerai continues to frame the collaboration as a working relationship rather than a branding exercise, tying each complication to a stated task instead of a team crest. Both watches are available now at Panerai boutiques and on panerai.com.Sticker Price USD 11,500 for Chrono and USD 11,400 for GMT. For more info on Panerai, click here.

Modern Tribute to the 'Non-Matching' Hands Anomaly. The new Panerai Luminor Marina Militare PAM05218 represents more than just another addition to the Italian manufacturer's catalog—it embodies the perfect marriage of history and contemporary design. For collectors who understand that true luxury lies in the stories etched into every component, this timepiece offers something increasingly rare: historical inspiration with modern refinement.Surfaced from decades of military secrecy and initially designed for the Royal Italian Navy's elite diving commandos, the Luminor Marina Militare represents one of horology's most compelling origin stories. The new PAM05218 is a faithful homage to the iconic Luminor 5218-202/A, carefully reimagined for today's discerning collector while preserving the essential character that made its predecessor legendary. The "Non-Matching" Dial & Hands PhilosophyThe return of the "non-matching" dial and hands transforms an unintended consequence into a coveted design element. The original Pre-Vendôme 1993 Panerai Luminor reference 5218-202/A bore witness to an unexpected chemical reaction between tritium and protective varnish, resulting in early production pieces that developed a distinctive lighter tone—creating a "tropical" aging effect that became highly sought-after among collectors.The new Panerai Luminor Marina Militare PAM05218 pays homage through deliberate design choices. The hollowed matte black dial provides the perfect backdrop for caramel-toned SuperLumiNova, creating that same striking visual contrast while utilizing modern luminous compounds that offer superior performance and longevity. The matte finish reduces glare while creating subtle textural depth that changes character throughout the day. The DLC steel 44 mm case diameter strikes an ideal balance between presence and wearability, maintaining the bold Luminor proportions while remaining accessible to broader wrist sizes. The DLC—Diamond-Like Carbon—coating provides superior scratch resistance and a distinctive matte black finish that won't compromise under adverse conditions—creating a surface harder than tool steel while maintaining underlying stainless steel strength. Earlier Panerai models were PVD—Physical Vapor Deposition—coated rather than DLC-coated.The vintage-inspired golden brown calf leather strap creates visual harmony with the caramel luminous material while offering supple comfort. The inclusion of a secondary black rubber strap with matching DLC steel buckle demonstrates understanding that serious tool watches require versatile mounting options for different activities and environments. The trapezoidal buckle design maintains Panerai's angular aesthetic while ensuring secure, comfortable wear. The screw-down case back bears the engraved Officine Panerai Firenze signature alongside the historic OP logo—markers connecting this contemporary piece to its Florentine origins and prestigious military contracts.The impressive 300-meter water resistance far exceeds civilian requirements, yet remains true to the original specification that enabled Italian naval commandos to perform dangerous underwater missions. At the heart beats the manual wound Panerai P.6000 calibre with a three-day power reserve—embodying Panerai's return to mechanical roots while ensuring reliable timekeeping during extended periods away from civilization. The PAM05218 represents more than the sum of its components. It embodies the enduring appeal of authentic design, the romance of military heritage, and the satisfaction of owning a timepiece with genuine historical significance. For the modern connoisseur who values authenticity over ostentation and understands that true luxury lies in the intersection of history, craftsmanship, and functionality, the new Panerai Luminor Marina Militare PAM05218 presents a compelling proposition—a watch that honors its past while embracing the present.Sticker Price USD 8,800.

Its origins are pragmatic, not aesthetic: a mixed-numeral layout combining Roman numerals on the upper half and Arabic numerals on the lower, developed in the late 1930s to maximize legibility under combat conditions. Rolex introduced the concept on its Zerographe, and it found its definitive home on the Panerai Ref. 3646 produced for Italy's Regia Marina. What began as an error-proofing exercise has since become a collector's talisman — the kind of dial that signals fluency in Panerai's military heritage. Things to Know About the WatchWith the new Panerai Radiomir 8 Giorni PAM02088, Panerai applies a culturally specific twist: Chinese numerals replace the Arabic figures at four, five, seven, and eight o'clock, while Roman numerals hold their positions at ten, eleven, one, and two. Bar markers and an inverted triangle at twelve complete the layout. The collector community has already coined the inevitable nickname—"Chinafornia"—and it sticks because it captures precisely what this watch is: a cultural graft onto an established template, released as a 300-piece limited edition timed to the Chinese Lunar New Year.The execution is vintage Panerai in the most literal sense. The 45 mm cushion-shaped case is rendered in Brunito eSteel—Panerai's recycled stainless steel—with the brand's signature hand-distressed finish achieved by selectively brushing away a black PVD coating. The technique ensures no two cases share an identical patina, which is a genuine differentiator, even if the "each piece is unique" language has become an industry reflex. Wire lugs and the onion-shaped crown reference the 1935-era Radiomir silhouette directly, and a domed sapphire crystal recalls the Plexiglas of early military-issue pieces. The dial merits attention beyond its numeral substitution. A black-to-anthracite gradient provides depth, while metallic blue burnished steel hands—achieved through controlled oxidation at approximately 300°C rather than traditional flame-bluing—add a subtle period-correct detail. Beige SuperLumiNova X1 across the numerals and hand inserts completes the faux-patina aesthetic, with a green glow-in-the-dark. The MovementThe watch is powered by the in-house P.5000 manual-wound calibre, which delivers an eight-day power reserve via twin mainspring barrels—a hallmark that traces directly to the 1950s, when Giuseppe Panerai selected the Angelus SF240 for its extended autonomy. The movement beats at 21,600 vph and is visible through a sapphire case back. Summary & PriceWhether the PAM02088 represents a meaningful cultural bridge or a thematic variation on a familiar formula depends entirely on who is buying it. For collectors in Greater China or with a background that makes them celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, this is a rare acknowledgment from a major manufacture. For the broader market—where 300 pieces will need to find willing wrists—it is a well-executed limited edition of a watch Panerai already makes very well, distinguished by four special numerals and a compelling backstory.Sticker Price USD 13,100.

But the Radiomir Viaggio Nel Tempo—Travel in Time in English language—Experience Set manages to be both the loudest and most intimate gesture Panerai has made in recent memory. Marking one hundred years since the Panerai family first opened their Piazza San Giovanni boutique in Florence—a shop that would go on to supply the Royal Italian Navy and launch one of the most recognizable watch designs in the world—the brand is offering thirty collectors a two-watch set and an immersive four-day journey through its Italian heartland.This is the first time Panerai has paired two watches as a dedicated set within its eXperiences Program. The PAM01729 and PAM01730 cannot be purchased individually. The set arrives in a mahogany presentation case, available from June 2026, with the accompanying experience running from September 15 to 18.Both references share the imposing 47 mm Radiomir cushion case with slim wire lugs, cone-shaped crowns, and domed plexiglas crystals evoking the original mid-1930s and 1940s prototypes. But beyond silhouette, these are fundamentally different watches—one raw and evolving, the other polished and permanent—that together trace the full arc of Panerai's identity from rugged naval tool-maker to contemporary haute horlogerie house. Radiomir California Bronzo PAM01729 The PAM01729 marks a Panerai first as it combines the California dial with a bronze case. Both elements carry deep historical resonance, and their convergence on a single reference will be immediately apparent to seasoned collectors. The California dial—Roman numerals on the upper half, Arabic numerals on the bottom half— was originally conceived for functional clarity. In dark underwater conditions, the two distinct halves provided immediate orientation, a design born from military necessity that has since become collector scripture. Legend traces the name to a dial restoration company in the Golden State of California, though whatever its etymology, the configuration remains one of the most visually arresting in horology.Here, the California layout is rendered on a single-layer black grainy dial with bar markers, minute track, and blue burnished luminescent steel hands set against beige Super-LumiNova that glows green in the dark. The dial is stripped of any logo—bar the discreet "L Swiss L" at six o'clock—evoking the unadorned tool watches Panerai produced under military secrecy for decades. The 47 mm brushed bronze case, an alloy of pure copper and pure tin, develops a unique patina shaped by each owner's environment. Fresh from the box, it carries a warm red-gold tone; over time, exposure to air, moisture, salt, and skin oils transforms it into something entirely personal. A titanium caseback ring prevents skin contact with the oxidizing bronze, while a sapphire crystal window reveals the movement.Inside beats the manual-wound P.3000 calibre, manufactured entirely in Neuchâtel. Its three-quarter plate architecture features twin spring barrels in series, delivering a three-day power reserve. The movement comprises 161 components, 21 jewels, a Glucydur variable-inertia balance, Incabloc anti-shock device, and a 12-point star wheel enabling rapid hour adjustment independent of the minute hand. A dark brown rolled leather strap with a trapezoidal bronze buckle completes the military narrative. Radiomir Platinumtech PAM01730 If the PAM01729 channels Panerai's rugged naval past, the PAM01730 represents its refined present. The 47 mm case is rendered in Platinumtech—a proprietary alloy containing 95% pure platinum, 85% harder than conventional platinum, with superior scratch resistance and approximately 33% more heft than 18K gold. The dial introduces another first: a black circular-brushed sandwich construction with hand-executed concentric polishing. This rotational brushing technique creates micro-circles that catch and manipulate light, lending the surface a dynamic, almost liquid quality. The tone-on-tone "Radiomir Panerai" engraving is applied directly into the dial—intentionally subtle, nodding to the era when these instruments were classified military equipment. Blue burnished hands and beige Super-LumiNova maintain visual continuity with the bronze sibling. The manual-wound P.3001/10 calibre, also manufactured in Neuchâtel, features a skeletonized construction across its bridges finished with intricate perlage, revealing the wheelwork and gilded engraving in exquisite detail. A power reserve indicator is positioned on the case back rather than the dial, preserving the front's austere elegance. The calibre delivers three-day autonomy, and a dark brown alligator strap with a polished white gold trapezoidal buckle elevates the presentation. The ExperienceThe four-day journey begins in Florence with a centenary exhibition at the Piazza San Giovanni boutique. Participants then retrace the footsteps of Italy's legendary frogmen—the naval commandos whose underwater missions are inextricably linked to the Panerai name—visiting original meeting grounds and diving sites along the Serchio River. A vintage car ride through the Tuscan countryside bridges the historical segments before the expedition culminates at the COMSUBIN base in Porto Venere for an authentic diving experience, followed by a yacht tour along the Ligurian coastline. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Final ThoughtsPairing these two references, one raw and evolving, the other polished and contemporary, creates a compelling narrative contrast that mirrors Panerai's own journey from Florentine instrument maker to Swiss watch manufacture. The California Bronzo will appeal to purists who want a watch that feels like it was pulled from a 1940s frogman's kit bag. The Platinumtech, on the other hand, will satisfy those who appreciate the same DNA expressed through haute horlogerie finishing. Together, they form a remarkably complete portrait of what Panerai is and where it came from.At thirty limited sets worldwide, with allocation determined by Panerai, these will land with committed collectors rather than speculators. For the right buyer, the opportunity to walk the ground where Panerai's legend was forged while wearing two of its most historically charged modern references is something no amount of money can typically buy, but here, regardless, the price is quite steep.Sticker Price €145,000—approx USD 171,000.

Parmigiani Fleurier's Carillon Tourbillon marks a philosophy of a 30-year-old Maison built not around a designer's vision but around a restorer's discipline: understand first, then create. That lineage traces directly to a specific object. In 2000, Parmigiani Fleurier restored a Perrin Frères pocket watch from the Sandoz Collection, a Neuchâtel-made carillon piece from the early nineteenth century. The Carillon Tourbillon does not reproduce that watch. It inherits its intelligence—particularly the serpentine gongs, whose undulating curves wrap the movement architecture and give the piece its most immediately recognizable visual signature. The result is limited to five examples and belongs to the Maison's Objets d'Art collection, a designation that carries weight here. This is not a production reference with a commemorative caseback. It is an atelier piece, entirely conceived, constructed, assembled, and finished in-house. Things to Know About the WatchThe four serpentine gongs are the defining visual and acoustic element. Positioned beneath the glass box sapphire crystal, they are visible from the dial side along with the striking hammers—an unusual and deliberate choice. Parmigiani Fleurier positioned the tourbillon and power reserve indicator on the case back, keeping the dial restrained and directing the eye toward the chiming architecture rather than competing displays. The striking complication is activated via a slide integrated into the case band—a gesture described as ceremonial, and the word earns its use here. The Morning Blue dial is hand-hammered 18K white gold, a surface treatment seen across Parmigiani’s thirtieth-anniversary releases, producing a living, irregular texture that shifts with the light. The 41.6 mm case in polished 18K white gold extends the Armoriale lineage with vertical gadroons drawn from classical column architecture—a formally coherent choice that also serves an acoustic purpose: in a chiming watch, the case contributes to sound transmission, and white gold was specifically selected for its resonant properties. At 12.60 mm thick, the case is substantial but appropriate given what it houses. Ardur anti-reflective sapphire covers both front and back, and the crown measures 6.40 mm and is set with a blue sapphire. Water resistance is rated to 10 meters. The MovementThe Parmigiani Fleurier Carillon Tourbillon 30th Anniversary is powered by the manual wound calibre PF950. This manufacture movement composed of 456 components, assembled and finished entirely by hand. It runs on two superimposed barrels, one dedicated to the gear train, delivering a power reserve of at least ten days, and a second dedicated exclusively to the striking mechanism, which recharges automatically upon activation of the slide to preserve main-movement energy. A regulating flywheel governs the cadence of the chime, ensuring consistent strike tempo from first note to last. The four gongs produce a distinct melody: one low-pitched gong for the hours, one high-pitched for the minutes, and two additional gongs with separate notes for the quarters. Movement decoration includes hand-executed mezzo vibrato engraving across the bridges and plates, a technique transposed from the Armoriale dial into the mechanical architecture itself, making visible what the carillon makes audible. Summary & PriceThe Carillon Tourbillon is among the most technically and aesthetically resolved anniversary pieces in recent memory from any independent Maison—a watch that earns its complications and its price by rooting both in genuine horological conviction rather than occasion.Sticker Price CHF 490,000—approx USD 622,000.

The Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante in 2022 and the Minute Rattrapante in 2023 each introduced a complication that retracted when not in use. For the brand's 30th anniversary at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the third chapter arrives: the Tonda PF Chronographe Mystérieux, a world première that reimagines the chronograph as something that earns its presence only on demand by pressing the pusher located at 8 o’clock. This pusher activates the chrono, making the chronograph’s rose gold hands visible, stops the chrono, and resets it. Things to Know About the WatchEquipped with a 40 mm stainless steel case, the watch, at rest, is indistinguishable from a three-hand Tonda PF. A Mineral Blue Grain d'Orge guilloché dial, rose gold delta hands, and the signature platinum 950 knurled bezel. Press the monopusher integrated into the case at 8 o'clock and five coaxial hands simultaneously reorganize: the rhodium chronograph hands fly back to 12 and begin counting, while the rose gold civil-time hands remain running beneath them. A second press stops the count; a third returns everything to rest. The chronograph disappears as cleanly as it appeared. The MovementThe PF053 is an entirely new manufacture calibre built from the ground up for this complication. Its triple-clutch architecture—one vertical and two horizontal clutches—manages the superimposition and transformation of hand functions with 362 components and 41 jewels. Beating at 28,800 vph, the movement provides autonomy with a 60-hour power reserve. The 22K rose gold skeletonized rotor and open-worked satin-finished bridges are visible through the sapphire case back. On the Wrist & PriceThe integrated steel bracelet and familiar 40 mm case size keep the Chonographe Mystérieux proportionally consistent with the Tonda PF family. For collectors who want a high complication with a clean daily face, the case for it is near-complete. A world première in both technical architecture and design philosophy, the Chronographe Mystérieux is Parmigiani's most ambitious single statement since the collection launched. Also available in platinum with a sandblasted platinum dial.Sticker Price CHF 36,900—approx USD 47,400. For more info on Parmigiani Fleurier click here.

The collection's evolution has been one of progressive distillation—from the original Micro-Rotor with date display, to the No Date variant that liberated the dial entirely, to a platinum limited edition in Stone Blue last year. Now, Parmigiani Fleurier introduces the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor No Date in Agave Blue, offered in two executions: stainless steel with a platinum 950 knurled bezel, and a full 18K rose gold. Things to Know About the WatchThe dial color is the headline, and it deserves attention. Agave Blue occupies an elusive space between mineral blue, vegetal green, and soft grey — a tone that shifts perceptibly under changing light without ever announcing itself. Applied over the signature Grain d'Orge hand-guilloché surface, the color gains dimensionality that a flat-finished dial could not deliver. The interplay between hue and texture produces a dial that reads differently at every angle, rewarding the kind of sustained attention that Parmigiani's design philosophy explicitly invites. Both watches share the same 40 mm case, at 7.8 mm thick, the material distinction between the two models is more than cosmetic. In stainless steel ref. PFC914-1020023-100182, the Agave Blue dial reads cooler, more architectural, while the platinum bezel reinforces a contemporary severity. In 18K rose gold ref. PFC914-2020023-200182, the same dial warms considerably, the guilloché catching light with a richness that softens the overall character. Applied indices shift accordingly: rhodium-plated steel in the steel variant, 18K rose gold in the precious metal variant, and skeletonized delta-shaped hands that have become one of the Tonda PF's most recognizable details. The MovementPowering both references is the manufacture calibre PF703, an automatic movement measuring just 3.07mm thick, thanks to its integrated platinum 950 micro-rotor. At 30.6 mm in diameter with 166 components and 29 jewels, the PF703 delivers 48 hours of power reserve at 21,600 vph. The micro-rotor itself carries Grain d'Orge guilloché decoration, echoing the dial motif — a detail visible through the sapphire case back alongside Côtes de Genève, perlage, and bevelled bridges. The movement's slimness enables an 8 mm case profile while maintaining 100-meter water resistance via a screwed-in crown. On the Wrist & PriceThis is not a reinvention. It is refinement applied with the kind of patience that characterizes Parmigiani Fleurier's approach under Guido Terreni. The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Agave Blue adds a chromatic option to a collection that already speaks fluently—it simply gives the conversation a new inflection.Sticker Price USD 69,800 in pink gold and USD 28,600 in stainless steel.

Milano Blue, London Grey, Arctic Grey, and the Ultra-Cermet experiment at Watches & Wonders 2025; each iteration has reinforced the same point: this is a watch built around a genuinely excellent integrated movement, wrapped in a design language that refuses to shout. The Silver Verzasca continues that trajectory by reaching for a colour rooted in geography rather than marketing abstraction.The Verzasca Valley in the Swiss canton of Ticino is known for its crystalline river water, a pale, mineral green that shifts with the light and sits somewhere between alpine severity and Mediterranean ease. That tension between north and south, precision and warmth, is the register Parmigiani has been working with since 2021. Things to Know About the WatchThe 42 mm stainless steel case measures 12.9 mm thick, a familiar footprint for collectors who have handled earlier PF Sport Chronograph references. Polished and satin-finished surfaces alternate across the case with the discipline that rewards close inspection, and the knurled bezel remains the most recognisable Parmigiani signature in the current catalogue. It captures light with rhythmic consistency and adds a tactile quality most competitors simply do not attempt. The silver dial carries a clou triangulaire guilloché pattern with three recessed counters finished in the Verzasca hue, a restrained green that reads as aqueous and cool rather than saturated. Hand-applied 18K gold rhodium-plated indices carry black luminescent coating, as do the skeletonized delta-shaped hour and minute hands. This is a no-date configuration, which cleans the dial considerably and brings the layout into sharper visual balance. The rubber strap, also in the Verzasca colour, uses a multi-layer construction inspired by saddlery techniques—a textile-like surface over a structural intermediate layer with a tear-resistant membrane between them. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters with a screw-down crown. The MovementThe calibre PF070 is an integrated automatic chronograph developed in-house with Vaucher Manufacture, featuring a column wheel, vertical clutch, and a 5 Hz operating frequency, placing it among the highest-beat chronograph movements in production. COSC-certified, it delivers a 65-hour power reserve. This automatic movement is composed of 288 parts and 42 jewels. The skeletonized 22K rose gold oscillating weight sits atop satin-finished openworked bridges with hand-bevelled edges. This is the same calibre that has anchored every PF Sport Chronograph to date, and it remains one of the strongest technical propositions in its price class. Summary & PriceWith the Silver Verzasca, Parmigiani demonstrates that chromatic evolution within a well-defined collection need not feel incremental. The colour earns its name, the movement earns its price, and the watch earns its place in a lineup that keeps getting harder to dismiss.Sticker Price CHF 27,900—approx USD 35,000.

The Toric Chronographe Rattrapante Anniversaire occupies the extreme end of that spectrum: a split-seconds chronograph in platinum with a hand-hammered gold dial and an 18K rose gold movement, presented at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 in a 30-piece limited edition that functions simultaneously as a horological instrument and a declared objet d’art. Things to Know About the WatchThe 42.5 mm platinum case, at 14.4mm thick, is the largest canvas in the novelties, and it requires every millimeter. Two oval pushers at two and four o'clock operate the chronograph, and a pusher integrated into the crown controls the split-seconds function, housed within the Toric's architecturally precise case geometry and framed by the signature knurled bezel—here matched, for the first time in the collection, by an identically finished caseback. The Agave Blue hand-hammered 18K white gold dial shares the same production method as its stablemates—60 individual manual operations, no two identical—though its darker, more complex hue creates a different chromatic register entirely. The watch is limited to 30 numbered pieces. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The MovementThe PF361 manufacture calibre is a manual-wound movement in 18K rose gold, and operates at a high-frequency of 36,000 vph (5 Hz) with 285 components and a 65-hour power reserve. Its split-seconds mechanism is governed by dual column wheels, with a vertical clutch and a flexible monolithic clamp. The open-worked architecture is satin-finished and hand-beveled throughout—the movement is as much to be looked at as the dial. On the Wrist & Price The Toric Chronographe Rattrapante is substantial on the wrist in both dimensions and material—the total weight of the watch is 180 grams. Platinum at 42.5 mm reads differently from gold at the same size, and the combination with the deep Agave Blue dial gives the piece a gravity that dresses the complication without softening it.The most technically advanced expression of Parmigiani Fleurier's anniversary year, this watch makes a case for the split-seconds rattrapante as the supreme expression of haute horlogerie finishing.Sticker Price CHF 158,000—approx USD 202,000.

The Toric Quantieme Perpetuel Anniversaire, shown at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, is a perpetual calendar of striking restraint. This is the easiest-to-read perpetual calendar that positions calendrical information as architecture rather than data, and treats its 30-piece limitation as an editorial statement rather than a marketing device. The hammer-finished dial is the star of the show. Discreet but impactful at the same time, upon close examination. Things to Know About the WatchThe 40.6 mm 18K rose gold case—10.9 mm thick—maintains the Toric's signature knurled bezel, now echoed on the case back for the first time—a mark of decorative continuity that rewards close inspection and that has been reserved for the 30th anniversary of the brand. The dial is the revelation: hand-hammered 18K rose gold in Bright Peony, shaped through 60 individual manual operations by a single artisan, meaning no two surfaces will be identical. Two coaxial subdials present day/date at eight o'clock and month/leap year at four, a display of deliberate restraint that keeps the dial open and readable at a glance. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The MovementThe beating heart is the in-house calibre PF733, this manual-wound movement is executed in 18K rose gold and a real treat for the eyes with its double hand-guilloché ‘Clous de Paris’ and ‘Filet sauté. Beating at 28,800 vph and composed of 265 parts, the movement provides a 60-hour power reserve. Fully visible through the sapphire case back, the movement strikes a conversation between surfaces that is explicit. On the Wrist & PriceDespite its generous case dimensions, the Toric QP Anniversarire represents a genuinely considered profile for a complication of this density. The soft Toric case geometry and the warmth of rose gold should make this wear more intimately than its technical content might suggest. The 30th-anniversary engraving on the case back, in an individually numbered edition, adds an identification element that will matter to the secondary market over time.At Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, Parmigiani Fleurier proves that its most mature expression isn't about doing more, it's about doing less with greater intention.Sticker Price CHF 113,000—approx USD 145,000.

A classically proportioned annual calendar in a round Calatrava case that has anchored the collection since Patek pioneered and patented the annual calendar mechanism in 1996. The 5396R-016 arrives for Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 in 18K rose gold with a sunburst sand beige dial, a combination that leans warmly tonal and unambiguously traditional. For collectors who find the perpetual calendar an overcorrection for a mechanism that only requires one annual reset anyway, the 5396 remains the strongest argument for the annual calendar format. Things to Know About the WatchThe fully polished 38.5 mm rose gold case is 11.2 mm thick and water-resistant to 30 meters, with a sapphire crystal display case back. The sunburst sand-beige dial features rose-gold faceted “obus” hour markers and dauphine hands, with day and month displayed in a double aperture at 12 o’clock and a subdial at 6 o’clock, along with a 24-hour indicator, moon phases, and a date aperture. The watch is delivered on a shiny dark chestnut alligator strap with a rose gold fold-over clasp. View fullsize View fullsize The MovementThe watch is powered by the calibre 26-330 S QA LU 24H which is an automatic self-winding movement composed of 339 parts, 34 jewels, a 21K gold central rotor, and which delivers 35 to 45 hours of power reserve. The annual calendar mechanism automatically distinguishes between months of 30 and 31 days, requiring only a single manual correction at the end of February each year. The movement is fully visible via the sapphire crystal display case back. On the Wrist & PriceSand beige color and rose gold are a pairing made in heaven, with extremely warm tones and as elegant and classic as it gets. It reads understated at a glance, revealing its depth in different lighting settings. The Patek Philippe ref. 5396R-016 is the kind of watch that makes sense for daily wear as a dressed-down alternative to the perpetual calendar, and its 38.5 mm diameter sits comfortably on a wide range of wrists. A considered, coherent addition to the Complications lineup.Sticker Price USD 67,517. For more info on Patek Philippe, click here.

The new Patek Philippe ref. 4946G-001 arrives for 2026 in white gold with a blue-gray dial given a double vertical and horizontal satin finish described as a ‘shantung’ texture—an evocation of the raw silk fabric by the same name. The result is a dial that reads as tactile even in photographs, with a depth and grain that stands apart from the more conventional sunburst or sector dials found across the Complications lineup. Day and month are indicated by hands rather than apertures, giving the dial a more dynamic, layered appearance. Things to Know About the WatchThe 38 mm white gold case is 11 mm thick with a sapphire crystal case back, water-resistant to 30 meters. The blue-gray dial uses sandblasted white gold leaf-shaped hands and applied hour numerals in white luminescent material. Day of the week and month are shown in subdials; date and moon phases appear in apertures at 6 o'clock. The calfskin strap mirrors the dial with a blue-gray denim pattern and contrasting white stitching, fastened with a white gold prong buckle. The MovementPowering this watch is the calibre 26-330 S QA LU, an automatic movement with a 21K gold central rotor. Composed of 319 parts and 34 jewels, it delivers a power reserve of 35 to 45 hours. Like all of Patek's annual calendar movements, it requires only one correction per year—at the end of February. On the Wrist & PriceThe Patek Philippe 4946G-001 is an annual calendar for a collector who wants the complication but finds the traditional presentation too conservative. The ‘shantung’ textured dial gives it a personality that earns repeat attention, and the strap coordination is handled with enough restraint to stay on the right side of the concept. The dial appears like a piece of linen fabric to the naked eye more than a piece of raw silk.Sticker Price USD 61,141. For more info on Patek Philippe, click here.

The new reference 5249R-001 is the first automaton wristwatch Patek Philippe has produced in its contemporary history in a 43 mm rose gold Officer's-style case housing a movement that, when a pusher at 2 o'clock is depressed, animates figures on the dial to reveal the time on demand via retrograde hands. The concept traces directly to a pocket watch conceived by Louis Cottier in 1958, reference 784, preserved in the Patek Philippe Museum. Based on Jean de La Fontaine's fable “The Crow and the Fox”, the fascinating animation of time brings both animals to life in hand-engraved gold appliqués on a matara brown opaline 18K gold plate, surrounded by hand-engraved foliage. Each watch requires 150 hours of manual engraving work. Things to Know About the WatchThe 43 mm 18K rose gold case is 11.55 mm thick and is equipped with an Officer's-style dust cover protecting the sapphire crystal on the case back. The watch features a turban-style crown rarely used by Patek Philippe. The dial, with applied hand-engraved fox, crow, and foliage decorations in 18K gold, shows hours and minutes via retrograde indication only when the pusher at 2 o’clock is pressed. The fox indicates the hour by lifting his paw between 0 and 6, and by moving his snout between 7 and 12. Meanwhile, the minutes are indicated by the crow moving a pointer hand with a piece of cheese at the tip. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize At 6 o’clock, a diamond set on a four-point star serves as the running seconds indicator, confirming that the watch is running. The watch is delivered on a shiny chocolate-brown alligator strap with a rose-gold triple-blade fold-over clasp. The MovementPowering the Patek Philippe Automaton is the calibre 31-260 PS HMD AU. This automatic movement required the development of a patented disengaging clutch system to secure the time-setting mechanism. The movement is equipped with a platinum off-center micro-rotor. Beating at 28,800 vph with a Gyromax balance and Spiromax spring, the movement provides a power reserve of 38 to 48 hours when fully wound. On the Wrist & PriceThe 5249R-001 sits in a category with essentially no contemporary competition — it is genuinely sui generis, a complication born from the manufacture's deep archive and realized with a level of handcraft that makes the price feel, if not modest, at least intelligible. It will appeal to the collector who has moved through the perpetual calendars and chronographs and is looking for something with a theatrical dimension that fine watchmaking rarely offers.

This position is reinforced at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 with the introduction of the new Calatrava 24-hour Alarm ref. 5322G, a new Grand Complication built around a 24-hour alarm that chimes via a single hammer striking a classic gong. It is the only water-resistant chiming watch Patek Philippe makes, and the 5322G marks the alarm's most refined expression to date. The watch is available in a textured lacquered green with black-gradient rim dial, or a lacquered navy blue dial with a black-gradient rim—live photos of this watch here. Things to Know About the WatchEquipped with a 41 mm 18K white gold case that takes its identity from the hobnail guilloché pattern applied to the entire circumference of the caseband and the pusher, with skeletonized lugs—a first for the brand—that keep the profile from reading as heavy despite the 12.22 mm thickness. The 5322G-001 is cloaked in a textured, lacquered navy-blue dial with a black-gradient rim; applied white-gold numerals and syringe-shaped hands feature a luminescent coating; the date is displayed in a subdial at 6 o'clock, and a double aperture at 12 o’clock displays the time that the alarm is set for, with a small round aperture underneath display whether it is on or off. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The alarm is displayed digitally in the double aperture at 12 o’clock with hours and minutes in 15-minute increments, with dedicated apertures for alarm on/off status and day/night indication. It comes fitted on a navy blue composite fabric-pattern strap with cream stitching and a beige nubuck calfskin as a second strap, both secured by a white gold triple-blade fold-over clasp. A green lacquered dial variant, the 5322G-010, is offered simultaneously on a green patinated square-scale alligator strap. The MovementThe Calatrava 24-hour Alarm is powered by the calibre AL 30-660 S C. This automatic self-winding movement is composed of 524 parts and 52 jewels, reflecting the complexity of integrating a chiming alarm with date and sweep seconds into a water-resistant case. The movement is fitted with the usual 21K gold central rotor, and while beating at a frequency of 28,800 vph, it delivers 42 to 52 hours of power reserve. Four patents cover the alarm mechanism. On the Wrist & PriceThe 5322G is a different kind of grand complication, less about its looks and more about what happens when you engage the pusher to activate the alarm. The hobnail caseband gives it a tactile identity distinct from anything else in the current collection, and the navy blue dial reads with an evening-register depth that makes the alarm function feel less utilitarian than it might on paper. A new reference that makes a strong case for the alarm as a legitimate collector complication. An incredible-looking watch that will for sure become an icon in Patek Philippe’s portfolio.Sticker Price 281,321. For more info on Patek Philippe, click here.

New for 2026, the reference 5227G-015 pairs white gold with a salmon-colored rose-gilt opaline dial—and charcoal gray “obus” hour markers—an unexpectedly warm combination for a white gold case that gives the piece a vintage character without resorting to artificial aging or retro pastiche. The shiny, chocolate-brown alligator strap completes the effect. Things to Know About the WatchThe fully polished white gold case measures 39 mm in diameter and 9.24 mm thick. The rose-gilt opaline dial features charcoal-gray faceted white-gold hour markers and matching dauphine hands, with a date aperture at 3 o'clock. The Officer's-style case back allows the movement to be seen through a sapphire crystal window while keeping it protected by a hinged cover—a detail that rewards the curious without compromising the watch's formal bearing on the dial side. The strap fastens with a white gold prong buckle. The MovementPowering this watch is the automatic calibre 26-330 S C with a 21K gold central rotor. At 27 mm in diameter, it accommodates 207 parts and 30 jewels, beating at 28,800 vph with a Gyromax balance and Spiromax spring, offering 35 to 45 hours of power reserve. A hacking function enables time-setting to the nearest second. On the Wrist & PriceThe Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 5227G-015 is for the collector who regards the Calatrava not as a generic dress watch but as one of watchmaking's most precisely resolved case architectures. The rose-gilt dial in a white gold case is a chromatic decision that takes a moment to process and rewards the effort. This watch is warm without being loud, refined without being cold. Its case size sits squarely in the territory where dress watches belong—no more, no less. Quiet luxury and horological mastery at its finest. Only the trained eye will be able to tell the difference against its platinum sibling ref. 6196P-001, which is almost identical.Sticker Price USD 47,262. For more info on Patek Philippe, click here.

Honestly, we didn’t like it back then, but the new Cubitus Perpetual Calendar Skeleton is not that bad, at least not as bad as the rest of the collection, and there are some positives to this watch. For its 2026 debut at Watches and Wonders Geneva, Patek has handed it the crown jewel of the collection: a skeletonized perpetual calendar movement. The reference 5840P-001 is the first Grand Complication in the Cubitus line, and it earns that designation without reservation. Things to Know About the WatchThe 5840P-001 is equipped with a 45 mm platinum case—10 mm thick—substantial, but consistent with the Cubitus language with contrasting polished and satin finishes and a small baguette-cut diamond on the edge of the bezel at 6 o'clock. The dial features ‘louvers’ in blue sunburst with laser-cut horizontal strips that create a controlled depth effect—like open blinds—, revealing the square-format calibre beneath while keeping the perpetual calendar display legible. A sapphire case back exposes the movement architecture in full. The MovementUnlike the rest of the Cubitus collection, the new Cubitus Perpetual Calendar Skeleton ref. 5840P is powered by a dedicated square-shaped automatic self-winding movement, the calibre 28-28 Q SQU which was specifically developed for the Cubitus—hoping the rest of the collection gets fitted with a square-shaped movement soon—, here in its skeletonized perpetual calendar specification. The movement measures 28.5 x 28.5mm and 5.04mm thick, with 313 parts and 27 jewels. Also, for the very first time, Patek Philippe chose to add blue enamel to the Calatrava cross on the rhodium-plated 22K gold off-center micro-rotor. This micro-rotor is also engraved with a horizontal line pattern that echoes the dial’s ‘louvers’, and the movement features no gold fill on any of its engravings or gold-colored components. The bridges have been skeletonized to replicate the ‘louvers’ from the dial side. The movement delivers a power reserve of 48 hours. On the Wrist & PriceOn the wrist, the new Cubitus ref. 5840P-001 is what collectors have been waiting for since the Cubitus launched: a complications proposition that matches the case's ambition with a movement that matches the case shape, and not an afterthought with a round movement in a square case. The blue composite strap with fabric pattern and cream stitching wears casually against a platinum fold-over clasp that is anything but. This is the version that confirms the Cubitus is a long-term platform, not a one-cycle statement, and it seems like it’s here to stay, despite the hate. We envision that other complications will continue to be rolled out for this collection.The 5840P-001 is the most technically significant new Cubitus to date and a compelling argument for the collection's permanence.Sticker Price USD 187,547.

Now, for Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the reference 5236P in platinum returns to the center stage with a new look. This platinum grand complication presents its day, date, and month through a single full-width aperture at 12 o'clock, arrayed in a clean horizontal line, and this time is fitted with a silvery dial with vertical satin-finish and black-gradient rim, charcoal gray white gold applied faceted baton-style hour markers, and charcoal gray white gold faceted baton-style hands. A charcoal-gray composite strap with a fabric texture and cream stitching completes the watch. The strap is secured by a patented platinum triple-blade fold-over clasp. The perpetual calendar has long been Patek Philippe's most eloquent argument for mechanical complexity, but reading one has never been the most intuitive experience. Things to Know About the WatchThe 5236's defining feature is its patented in-line perpetual calendar display—a single aperture spanning the dial's upper register that reads day, date, and month sequentially across a continuous band. Three patents cover the mechanism. Secondary round apertures handle leap year and day/night indication, while small seconds and moon phase share 6 o'clock. The 41.3 mm platinum case—11.07 mm thick— is fully polished, set with a single brilliant-cut diamond at 6 o'clock — a restrained touch. The silvery dial features a vertical satin finish and a black gradient rim, with charcoal-gray white-gold faceted baton markers and hands that sit in quiet contrast to the pale ground. The MovementCaliber 31-260 PS QL is a self-winding movement measuring 34mm in diameter and 5.8mm thick — thin enough that the 5236 remains wearable despite its complication count. The platinum off-center minirotor winds efficiently while staying clear of the dial-side architecture. With 503 parts, 55 jewels, a Gyromax balance, and a Spiromax spring oscillating at 4 Hz, the caliber delivers between 38 and 48 hours of power reserve. It carries the Patek Philippe Seal. On the Wrist & PriceDespite its larger size, the 5236P-011 is appropriately substantial for a grand complication yet extremely good-looking on most wrists. The vertical satin dial and streamlined aperture give it a legibility that more traditional perpetual layouts don't always achieve. For collectors seeking a perpetual that is unique in design and layout, this watch checks all the boxes. Without a doubt, this is our favorite iteration of all three dials released to date.Sticker Price USD 156,039. For more info on Patek Philippe click here.

The new Ref. 5810/1G-001, unveiled at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, is an ultra-thin white gold Nautilus limited to 2,000 pieces—a restrained, intellectually consistent tribute to the 1976 original that trades nostalgia for refinement. The sunburst blue dial keeps the embossed horizontal motif that has defined the reference since day one, but the case has been slimmed to proportions that would have been impossible in the Genta era. Additionally, the watch doesn’t feature a date function for a cleaner and distinctive look. Things to Know About the WatchThe 5810/1G-001 is housed in a two-part 41 mm white gold case measuring just 6.9 mm thick, with the familiar contrast of satin-brushed and polished surfaces across the case, bezel, and integrated bracelet. The sunburst blue dial retains the horizontal embossing that has been a Nautilus signature for five decades, paired with applied white gold baton indices and rounded baton hands, both treated with white luminescent coating. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters via a screw-down crown, and a sapphire caseback reveals the movement. Production is capped at 2,000 pieces. The MovementPowering the anniversary piece is Patek's ultra-thin self-winding caliber 240, measuring 27.5 mm in diameter and just 2.53 mm thick—the movement that makes the slim case possible. It runs at 21,600 vph, offers a minimum 48-hour power reserve, and is wound by a 22K gold off-centered micro-rotor engraved with the inscription "50 1976 – 2026." The calibre uses a Gyromax balance and Spiromax balance spring, and carries the Patek Philippe Seal. Through the sapphire caseback, the minirotor's anniversary inscription serves as the quiet signature of the occasion. On the Wrist & PriceThe 50th-anniversary Nautilus is a very fitting celebratory piece for a genuinely thin, integrated-bracelet sports watch, and the full white gold construction lends the expected density without visual bulk. The sunburst blue dial shifts convincingly under light against the polished and satin-finished case and bracelet, and the anniversary micro-rotor is visible through the sapphire caseback. It is the kind of anniversary watch that rewards familiarity with the reference it honors—spot it across a room, and it reads as a Nautilus; spot it on the wrist, and you notice everything Patek has refined over five decades.Sticker Price USD 93,774.

The new 5270P-016 pairs a fully polished platinum case with a concave bezel and a striking blue lacquered dial whose black-gradient rim lends the watch an almost racing-inspired aesthetic—a rare tonal departure for a reference more commonly associated with understated classicism. This new watch joins two other colorful models released this week—red lacquered dial ref. 5270P-017 and the charcoal gray fumé lacquered dial ref. 5270P-015—, along with the green lacquered dial sibling released in 2022. Things to Know About the WatchThe 5270 has long occupied a central place in Patek's grand complications catalog since its 2011 debut, and this latest iteration marks one of its most visually expressive treatments to date. The 41 mm platinum case is entirely polished, featuring a concave bezel and distinctive two-tier lugs, with the customary diamond set at 6 o'clock signaling the precious metal beneath. The lacquered red dial is fitted with faceted white gold "obus"-style hour markers and dauphine hands, framed by a printed white tachymeter scale for added legibility. Day and month appear through a double aperture at 12 o'clock, while the date is read on the subdial at 6 o'clock, accompanied by day/night and leap year indications. A black composite strap with fabric pattern and contrasting royal blue stitching reinforces the sporting intent. The MovementPowering the 5270P-017 is Patek's manually wound CH 29-535 PS Q calibre, a movement celebrated for uniting traditional column-wheel chronograph architecture with six patented innovations. Measuring 32 mm across and 7 mm thick, the calibre comprises 456 components and 33 jewels, beats at 28,800 vph, and delivers a power reserve between 55 and 65 hours with the chronograph disengaged. It carries the Patek Philippe Seal. On the Wrist & PriceAt 41 mm and 12.4 mm thick, the 5270P sits proudly off the wrist—the concave bezel, two-tier lugs, and fully polished platinum case combine to create a vertical presence that reads as formal in any context. Under direct light, the platinum is almost mirror-like, which only amplifies the watch's authority. The 5270P-016's lacquered blue dial is deep and saturated in person, shifting tone as the light angle changes. The black composite strap, with its fine textile pattern and contrast stitching, keeps the watch from tipping entirely into ceremony, a balance the 5270P manages better on the wrist than in press images.Sticker Price USD 248, 813 USD.

What began in 2005 with calibre CHR 27-525 PS—at the time the world's thinnest split-seconds chronograph movement—was less a product launch than the opening move in a sustained program to build an entirely manufacture-developed chronograph family from the ground up. Calibre CH 29-535 PS arrived in 2009, bringing a column wheel, horizontal clutch architecture, and six patented innovations to a manually wound base that remains one of the most rigorously constructed in contemporary watchmaking. The Grand Complication step came in 2011, when a perpetual calendar module was integrated to create calibre CH 29-535 PS Q—the engine that drives the 5270 and 5271 to this day. The split-seconds version, calibre CHR 29-535 PS Q, followed in 2012, and with it came reference 5204: a 40 mm manually wound split-seconds chronograph with perpetual calendar carrying 496 parts, and one of the most technically concentrated watches Patek has produced in the modern era. Things to Know About the WatchThe new Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar ref. 5204G-010, introduced at Watches and Wonders 2026, adds a new chapter to that lineage. 18K White gold, a navy blue sunburst dial, and contrasting red accents on the hands and the composite strap's stitching give this iteration a sporting register that the reference hasn't previously explored. For a watch built around two of horology's most demanding complications, it wears the combination with a confidence that feels entirely earned.The 5204G-010 wears a fully polished 40mm white gold case at 14.3 mm thick—substantial, as any split-seconds perpetual calendar must be. The navy sunburst dial features a white tachymeter scale printed around the perimeter, the day and month in a double aperture at 12 o'clock, and moon phases with the date at 6 o'clock. Small round apertures show the day and night indicator and the leap year indicator at each side of the date indication. The 30-minute counter sits at 3 o'clock; small seconds at 9 o'clock. It ships with both a navy composite strap with fabric pattern and red stitching, and an additional dark blue alligator strap—also with red stitching. Interchangeable solid and sapphire crystal case backs are included. The MovementComposed of 496 parts, the manual-wound calibre CHR 29-535 PS Q is considered one of the most demanding complications Patek Philippe produces. The split-seconds mechanism uses two column wheels and a horizontal clutch—a classical architecture executed to the highest standard. Power reserve runs 55 to 65 hours with the chronograph disengaged. On the Wrist & PriceOn the wrist, the Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar ref. 5204G-010 makes a strong case for its own sporting ambitions. The navy composite strap, with its woven-fabric texture and red stitching, pulls the entire palette together. The white-gold case, navy sunburst dial, red chronograph hands, and split-seconds make all the parts read as cohesive rather than busy. At 40 mm, it wears with presence without crossing into uncomfortable territory, and the dial, dense as it is with information, remains surprisingly legible in person. The red accents do real work here: they give the eye an anchor point amid the tachymeter scale, the perpetual calendar apertures, and the twin subdials, preventing the whole from collapsing into visual noise. This is a grand complication that does not insist on being solemn about it—and for a certain kind of collector, that is exactly the point.Sticker Price USD 380,971.

The Swiss maison's newest offerings—the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and Altiplano 910P, both rendered in luminous striking Khaki Green accents—represent more than mere timepieces. They are manifestos of mechanical poetry, where ultra-thin engineering meets the maison's legendary jewelry artistry.The Altiplano collection has long stood as Piaget's testament to the philosophy that elegance lies in restraint. Born from an unwavering spirit of innovation, these watches have become synonymous with mechanical elegance, technical audacity, and timeless purity. The latest iterations don't merely continue this tradition—they revolutionize it, redefining the very limits of what we understand about sophistication in timekeeping.Together, these new Altiplano models embody what might be called the Piaget paradox: the ability to achieve maximum impact through minimal thickness. They represent the essence of the maison's dual identity as both a pioneer of fine watchmaking and a virtuoso of goldsmithing and jewelry design.In an era where boldness often translates to bulk, these timepieces remind us that true sophistication lies in balanced proportions, sophisticated color palettes, and an uncompromising focus on both form and function. They are created for discerning individuals who understand that mechanical excellence and distinctive design are not competing virtues, but complementary expressions of the same artistic vision. Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon Khaki GreenWhat sets this piece apart is its architectural approach to dial design. The monobloc dial, adorned with polished round and baton indexes, creates a landscape of understated complexity. The innovative time display—featuring a baton-shaped minute hand and a separate monobloc disc for hours—transforms the fundamental act of reading time into an exercise in modern horological artistry. The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon Khaki Green stands as perhaps the most ambitious expression of Piaget's ultra-thin mastery. Housed within a 41.5 mm case crafted from advanced cobalt alloy, this extraordinary timepiece showcases the manufacture's 970P-UC calibre—a manual wound flying tourbillon movement that exemplifies technical virtuosity. The ultra-thin polish-mesh pattern calfskin strap, reinforced with Kevlar, speaks to Piaget's understanding that true luxury lies not just in precious materials, but in the marriage of beauty and performance.Sticker Price Upon Request. For more info on Piaget click here. Piaget Altiplano 910P Khaki GreenComplementing this technical tour de force is the Piaget Altiplano 910P Khaki Green ref. G0A50126, making its debut in 18K yellow gold—a first for this everyday icon. At 41 mm, this automatic movement masterpiece houses the manufacture's 910P movement, an ultra-thin automatic calibre that delivers a 48-hour power reserve and that exemplifies Piaget's dual mastery of both mechanical excellence and aesthetic refinement. One of the thinnest automatic watches in the world at 4.30 mm in thickness. These new Altiplano models don't just tell time—they tell the story of what's possible when creativity meets craftsmanship, when tradition embraces innovation, and when the pursuit of the impossible becomes beautifully, tangibly real. The choice of green alligator leather for the strap creates a sophisticated dialogue between the warmth of yellow gold and the earthiness of khaki green—a palette that speaks to contemporary tastes while honoring classical proportions. As we witness these latest additions to the Altiplano family, we're reminded that Piaget's greatest achievement lies not merely in creating thin watches, but in proving that thinness can coexist with complexity, that restraint can house innovation, and that true luxury emerges when technical mastery serves aesthetic vision.Sticker Price USD 41,300.
