Piaget has joined forces with Austen Chu—better known as the Horoloupe on Instagram—and his company Wristcheck to present the Altiplano Ultimate Automatic 910P X Wristcheck. Wristcheck was founded by Austen in Hong Kong in 2020, and now operates across Hong Kong, Macau, and New York. It has built its reputation on authenticated, graded timepieces—mostly Audemars Piguet, as Austen became the official unveiler of most of their watches since 2018—and a collector-community voice with a strong social media presence, combining Austen’s 122K followers and Wristcheck’s 585K followers. Things to Know About the WatchThe Altiplano Ultimate Automatic 910P X Wristcheck is available in a limited edition of 30 pieces and equipped with a 41 mm 18K white gold case measuring just 4.3mm thick, achieved by integrating the movement architecture directly into the caseback so that case and calibre become a single unified structure. That fusion exposes 238 components across an open dial, making the watch as much a mechanical display as a timekeeping instrument. We covered the 910P at its SIHH 2018 debut, and the Mechanical Exception Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève in 2021 formalized what the industry already understood: the 910P is one of the most technically singular pieces in modern watchmaking. Wristcheck's contribution is precise and deliberate. Its signature blue appears on the hour counter, hands, screws, and—most strikingly—the peripheral rotor, which winds the movement from the outer edge of the case rather than the center. In blue, that rotor becomes both an engineering landmark and a chromatic focal point, drawing the eye around the full architecture of the dial in a way that a neutral finish never could. The case back carries a double engraving with the Wristcheck logo alongside the Piaget crest. View fullsize Piaget Altiplano Ultimate X Wristcheck-15.jpg View fullsize Piaget Altiplano Ultimate X Wristcheck-11.jpg View fullsize Piaget Altiplano Ultimate X Wristcheck-19.jpg The MovementCalibre 910P debuted in 2017 as the logical culmination of a lineage that began with the 9P in 1957 and continued through the self-winding 12P in 1960. The peripheral rotor winding system is central to the 910P's record thickness by relocating the rotor to the case periphery. Piaget eliminated the vertical stack height that conventional central-rotor architecture demands. The result is an automatic self-winding movement with hours, minutes, and small seconds that fits within a total case profile no thicker than many dress watches achieve with a manual-wound calibre. For further context on where the 910P sits within Piaget's ultra-thin hierarchy, our Altiplano Ultimate Concept Insider remains the reference read. On the Wrist & PriceAt 41 mm and 4.3 mm, the 910P wears with an immediacy that photographs cannot fully convey. The watch disappears beneath a cuff in a way no other automatic in this size class can. The deep blue calfskin strap— selected by Wristcheck, finished with matching blue topstitching—keeps the chromatic identity consistent from dial to wrist without overstatement. We most recently saw the 910P in the Khaki Green edition alongside the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon; the Wristcheck blue is a more restrained application, and it suits the white gold case decisively better.For collectors who understand what the 910P represents technically, and who want that object in a form that will not be replicated at volume, this collaboration delivers on both counts.

G0A51244 that will likely hold the longest in memory. It is not the most extravagant in the lineup, as that territory belongs to the diamond-set Bronzite Andy Warhol piece—but it is the one that most successfully balances the collection's inherent drama with a sense of collector-appropriate restraint. Things to Know About the WatchThe 45 x 43 mm cushion case is made of 18K rose gold and measures only 8.08 mm thick. What distinguishes this reference from its stablemates is the combination of a natural lapis lazuli dial—deep Afghani blue, shot through with the gold pyrite inclusions that make every example singular—and a bezel finished in Clous de Paris hobnail guilloché for the very first time. Clous de Paris, literally "nails of Paris," is one of the oldest and most demanding decorative engraving techniques in fine watchmaking and goldsmithing, tracing its origins to 18th-century France, where the pattern, a tightly repeated field of raised pyramidal points, each square-based and precisely angled, was applied to snuff boxes, étuis, and pocket watch cases by Parisian artisans. The name derives from the resemblance of each individual point to the head of a cut nail. At its finest, the technique requires the engraver to maintain absolute regularity of spacing and depth across a curved surface; the slightest inconsistency collapses the optical effect, since the pattern's appeal depends entirely on the uniformity of the light it catches and scatters. On a bezel, where the surface curves in multiple directions and engraving must terminate cleanly at both edges, the challenge is considerably greater. The result, when executed well, is a surface that appears almost textile-like—alive with reflected light in a way that a polished or brushed finish cannot achieve. That bezel detail elevates this reference: the precise geometry of the pyramidal squares of the Clous de Paris pattern against the raw, geological character of the lapis creates a dialogue between craft and material that is genuinely compelling rather than merely decorative. Lapis lazuli is a unique geological event in every example; Clous de Paris is entirely about controlled regularity and the mastery of the hand that produces it. Placing the two in direct adjacency makes both more interesting. The watch is completed with a brown alligator strap and a pin gold buckle. The MovementThe new Piaget Andy Warhol watch with lapis lazuli dial ref. G0A51244 is powered by the automatic Manufacture calibre 501P1. This automatic movement with 23 jewels beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph and provides a power reserve of 40 hours when fully wound. The movement features circular Côtes de Genève, a circular-grained plate, beveled bridges, blued screws, and a slate-grey oscillating weight in Tungsten. The movement is protected by a solid case back. On the Wrist & PriceThe Lapis Lazuli reads warmer on the wrist than its stone alone might suggest—rose gold has a moderating effect on the blue, and the brown strap reinforces the earthy quality of the dial material. At its price point, it is not a casual acquisition, but for collectors drawn to serious ornamental stone dials housed in a historically significant case shape, the argument is well made.Sticker Price USD 65,500.

For Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the Maison has added a blue sodalite dial to its white gold version of the Polo 79—marking the first time an ornamental stone has been used in the contemporary reinterpretation of this model. The deep, inky blue of the sodalite natural stone plays beautifully against the rhodium-finished white gold case and bracelet, accentuating the emblematic gadroons that define the watch's character. It is a combination that feels both inevitable and entirely right. Things to Know About the WatchThe sodalite dial carries approximately 2.8 carats of the natural stone, a mineral known for its rich, saturated blue with characteristic veining. It is the first ornamental stone application on the modern Polo 79, which itself was introduced in yellow gold in 2024 and took the 2024 Grand Prix de l'Horlogerie de Genève "Iconic Watch of the Year" award. The 38 mm case is a subtle enlargement from the original 34 mm of the 1979 reference, but the fully integrated bracelet construction means it wears closer to 39mm on the wrist. Case thickness is 7.45 mm. Alternating brushed and polished surfaces throughout the case and bracelet are the result of Piaget's deep fluency with gold. The MovementPowering the Polo 79 Sodalite is the manufacture Caliber 1200P1, the same ultra-thin movement found in the yellow and white gold predecessors. At just 2.35 mm thick, it is an automatic movement composed of 180 parts and 25 jewels that beats at 21,600 vph and delivers approximately 44 hours of power reserve. The movement is finished with blued screws, Côtes de Genève, circular-grained main plate, sunburst-motif wheels, and a 22K gold micro-rotor engraved with the Piaget coat of arms—visible through a sapphire case back. On the Wrist & PriceThe Polo 79 Sodalite builds on what was already our favorite version of this watch. Where the plain white gold dial read as quietly refined, the sodalite injects genuine presence—this is a watch you will notice across the room, and it will reward closer inspection. The stone's depth shifts subtly under different lighting conditions, and the contrast against the white metal is exceptional. For those who see the Polo 79 as Piaget at its most itself, this iteration makes the strongest case yet.Sticker Price USD 101,000. For more info on Piaget, click here.

The following year brought the refined 18K white gold iteration we covered at Watches & Wonders 2025. Now, Piaget completes this trilogy with the Polo 79 Two-Tone—a harmonious marriage of both precious metals that recalls one of the original 1979 configurations while speaking directly to contemporary collectors who demand distinction without ostentation. Things to Know About the WatchThe new reference G0A51150 presents a sophisticated interplay of metals that required considerable deliberation. The 38 mm case and integrated bracelet are executed in brushed white gold, while the signature gadroons—those architectural ridges that define the Polo's character—are rendered in polished yellow gold. This careful contrast creates visual depth across the case and bracelet's seamless construction, with the alternating finishes catching light differently throughout the day. The solid gold dial continues this philosophy with brushed yellow gold hands providing the final touch of refinement against the white gold surface. Unlike some two-tone configurations that might appear gimmicky or dated, Piaget's approach maintains the Polo's inherent sophistication while offering a more versatile aesthetic than either monochromatic version alone. Two-tone configurations were indeed available when Yves Piaget first introduced the Polo in 1979, though these pieces have become increasingly rare in the vintage market today. Piaget's decision to revive this aesthetic speaks to the brand's commitment to honoring its "time should only be measured in gold" philosophy while acknowledging that modern collectors appreciate versatility. Where the House of Gold steadfastly refused to produce steel versions even as competitors rushed into that market in the 1970s, this Two-Tone iteration demonstrates that precious metal luxury need not mean inflexibility in aesthetic expression. At 7.45 mm thick and weighing approximately 200 grams, the case maintains the profile that has made the Polo 79 so wearable since its 2024 reintroduction. The MovementThe calibre 1200P1 within this Two-Tone variant remains unchanged from its yellow and white gold siblings—Piaget's ultra-thin micro-rotor automatic movement measuring just 2.35 mm in thickness. This 180-component mechanism with 25 jewels operates at 21,600 vph, providing approximately 44 hours of power reserve. The finishing includes blued screws, circular Côtes de Genève, circular-grained main plate, beveled bridges, wheels with sunburst motifs, and a gold micro-rotor engraved with the Piaget coat of arms. On the Wrist & PriceThe Two-Tone wears with the same comfort we noted in both previous iterations. The integrated bracelet design allows the 38 mm case to present slightly larger on the wrist, wearing more like a 39 mm watch due to the visual continuity between case and bracelet. For those who found the yellow gold version perhaps too assertive and the white gold too understated, this Two-Tone configuration strikes an appealing middle ground. The brushed white gold creates an impression that might initially suggest steel to the casual observer, but the polished yellow gold gadroons immediately signal precious metal craftsmanship to those who understand such distinctions.The Piaget Polo 79 Two-Tone arrives as a limited-production. For those who embody Piaget's everyday Extraleganza ethos, this Two-Tone variant offers sporting elegance that transitions effortlessly from casual to formal contexts. Sticker Price USD 90,000.

Porsche’ Edition. Alongside a 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche, a Sled, and Weekender Bag. Porsche and Porsche Design commemorate what would have been Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche's 90th birthday with a collection of exclusive pieces celebrating the visionary who transformed automotive and industrial design. The man who created the legendary Porsche 911 and invented the Chronograph 1 receives tribute through carefully curated items, including the 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche, a special-edition Chronograph 1 watch, a bespoke Weekender bag, and a reimagined ‘Porsche Junior’ Sled—each of them limited to 90 examples. Porsche Design Chronograph 1 ‘90 F.A. Porsche’ EditionAt the heart of the collection is the anniversary Chronograph 1, drawing on the 2022 Chronograph 1 1972 Limited Edition while introducing details specific to F.A. Porsche's personal timepiece. A specialized Super-LumiNova coating on hands and indices recreates the warm patina of aged luminous material, lending the dial an authentically aged character without sacrificing modern legibility. The vintage aesthetic extends to the historic Porsche Design logo, appearing on both the crown and the buckle—period-correct branding that anchors the piece in its 1972 origins. Above the bilingual day-date display—German and English—at 3 o'clock, the initials "F.A.P." appear in tribute to where Professor Porsche placed his own initials on his personal watch, replacing the standard Porsche Design logo found in production models. The case back features laser engraving displaying both the limited-edition number and F.A. Porsche's signature, creating an intimate connection between wearer and designer. The 42 mm case departs from its 1972 ancestor with contemporary materials—ultra-lightweight, hypoallergenic titanium —while retaining the iconic black coating that defined the world's first entirely black timepiece. Porsche Design's Grenchen manufactory has equipped the COSC-certified automatic movement with a rotor that mirrors the shape and color of the Sport Classic wheels fitted to the GT3. In addition to the black-coated titanium bracelet, collectors receive a Truffle Brown calfskin leather strap with Chalk Beige contrast stitching, reflecting the GT3's interior materials. Porsche Design's tool-free quick-change system enables seamless transitions between options. The 911 GT3 90 F. A. PorscheThe automotive centerpiece of this tribute is the 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche, a bespoke collector's car inspired by the G-Series 911 Professor F.A. Porsche drove in the 1980s. Based on the GT3 with Touring Package, the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six delivers 502 horsepower to reach 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 313 km/h. The exclusive F.A. Greenmetallic paint—developed through Porsche's Paint to Sample Plus program at the family's request—recalls the green tradition begun when Professor Porsche specified Irish Green for his father Ferry's 1963 Type 901. View fullsize Porsche 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche-3.jpg View fullsize Porsche 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche-5.jpg View fullsize Porsche 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche-2.jpg The car features satin-gloss black painted 20/21-inch Sport Classic wheels, echoing the iconic Fuchs design, with GT3 90 F.A.P. lettering embossed on the rim flange; their distinctive shape and color are replicated in the Chronograph 1's rotor. The 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche features the original Porsche crest from 1963 throughout, a gold-plated ‘90 F.A. Porsche’ badge on the rear grille lid, gold-colored PORSCHE lettering, and an individually selectable starting number in a circular ‘lollipop’ design. Inside, the F.A. Grid-Weave pattern—inspired by Professor Porsche's favorite checkered jackets—appears on the seat centers, glove compartment, and trunk mat, matched with Truffle Brown Club Leather and Chalk Beige stitching that extends to the timepiece's leather strap. Each of the 90 examples pairs the Chronograph 1 with the matching Weekender bag, creating a cohesive collection celebrating functional design across automotive and horological disciplines. The car features a gold-plated rectangular medallion bearing the inscription “ONE of 90”, mounted on one of the wood accents of the dashboard. The ‘Porsche Junior’ Sled and Weekender BagThe collection revives another F.A. Porsche creation: the ‘Porsche Junior’ sports sled, initially offered in the 1960s for young enthusiasts and enjoyed by Professor Porsche with his children. This shell-shaped sled now features carbon fiber construction with a Kevlar core, delivering exceptional lightness while honoring its heritage with an F.A. Green Metallic finish. The seat cushion features F.A. Grid-Weave fabric that matches the GT3's interior pattern—the same motif inspired by Professor Porsche's favorite jackets. Limited to 90 units, the Porsche Junior sled is unavailable in the United States. Buyers of the 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche receive both the Chronograph 1 and Weekender bag with their acquisition, creating a cohesive ownership experience extending F.A. Porsche's form-follows-function philosophy across categories. For collectors drawn to automotive-inspired horology, this represents Porsche Design's most personal tribute to its founder—a wearable archive of principles that continue to shape both industries.More info on Porsche Design, here, and for Porsche here.

A second chapter followed in 2023. Now, Richard Mille closes the trilogy with The Final Chapter: three new RM 07-01 models that introduce gem-setting to the ceramic bezels and white gold casebands for the first time. Each is limited to 50 pieces. Things to Know About the WatchesGem-set TZP ceramic is a genuinely difficult undertaking. The headline addition is mitraillage gem-setting applied directly onto the TZP (Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal) ceramic bezels—a biocompatible material constituted of over 95% zirconia (ZrO2) that registers 1,400 Vickers on the hardness scale, harder than sapphire, with a low density of around 6 g/cm³. Working precious stones into that surface with hand-set gold prongs requires craftsmanship tailored to the material's extreme resistance.

The RM 07-01 Blush Pink pairs diamonds with yellow and blue sapphires. The RM 07-01 Powder Blue combines diamonds with pink sapphires and tsavorites. The RM 07-01 Lavender Pink sets diamonds alongside orange sapphires and rubies. The polished white gold casebands with satin-finished pillars carry the same stone palettes. Each model now reads as a complete color story rather than simply a case-color variant. The multi-material dial is the most elaborate version yet. The grey PVD-treated red gold foundation carries hand-guillochage executed on a manual rose engine, colored ceramic inserts finished to micron-level tolerances, laser-cut rubber appliqués, and—new to this chapter—diamond-set components housed within white gold inserts. A single dial plane synthesizing mechanical engraving, advanced ceramics, elastomer engineering, and traditional gem-setting. The case architecture is familiar but newly dressed. The three-part tonneau measures 45.66 x 31.40 x 11.85 mm, assembled with 12 grade 5 titanium spline screws and 316L stainless steel washers. Two Nitrile O-ring seals deliver 50 meters of water resistance behind sapphire crystals front and back. What changes is that the TZP ceramic bezel and case back—previously clean surfaces—now serve as the canvas for the mitraillage setting.

Baseplate and bridges in microblasted grade 5 titanium with electroplasma treatment provide the structural rigidity essential to the gear train. The variable-geometry rotor in 5N red gold adjusts winding efficiency via an automatic OneWay ceramic system with ball bearings. Power reserve sits at approximately 50 hours through a fast-rotating barrel, beating at 28,800 vph with a variable-inertia CuBe balance. Summary & PriceAcross three chapters, the Colored Ceramics collection has told a coherent story about what happens when Richard Mille's material science ambitions prioritize visual exuberance over mechanical complication. The 2026 edition earns its finale by adding the one decorative dimension that was missing and executing it at a level of difficulty commensurate with the brand's technical identity.

As 2025 draws to a close, the brand is spotlighting its feminine universe with a quartet of timepieces that prove technical prowess and precious beauty can coexist in the same tonneau-shaped case.At the heart of this collection lie two emblematic references: the RM 037 and RM 07-01. These aren't merely watches—they're statements of identity that transcend fleeting trends. Both models feature Richard Mille's signature curved tonneau cases and skeletonized automatic movements, but it's in their execution that the brand's creative freedom truly shines.What unites these four timepieces beyond their shared DNA is Richard Mille's refusal to compromise. Whether working in red or white gold, Carbon TPT, or ceramic, the brand maintains the same skeletal movement architecture, the same curved ergonomics, the same mechanical transparency that's become its calling card. The gem-setting isn't applied as decoration—it's integrated into the design language, respecting the watch's technical foundation while elevating its emotional impact.These watches sit within a broader Ladies Collection that includes the playful Bonbon series, the athletic RM 07-04 Automatic Sport, and the Talisman collections, which feature the brand's first in-house automatic tourbillon calibre. It's a universe that refuses to be defined by a single aesthetic, instead celebrating the multifaceted nature of the women who wear them. Richard Mille RM037 Red Gold The RM 037 in red gold with snow setting presents an intriguing study in contrasts. Its red gold case serves as a canvas for a snow-set diamond pavé—a technique in which gems of varying sizes are arranged in seemingly random patterns to maximize brilliance and coverage. Beneath this glittering exterior beats the CRMA1 automatic calibre, visible through the skeletonized architecture. At the center, a jasper insert within the dial completes the stunning look. The juxtaposition of old-world gem-setting artistry against contemporary mechanical transparency is quintessentially Richard Mille. The case measures 52.20 mm x 34.40 mm x 12.50 mm—length x width x thickness.Sticker Price USD 431,000. More info on Richard Mille here.

Setting 181 diamonds of varying shapes and sizes into Carbon TPT isn't just challenging; it requires specialized tools and expertise that push traditional gem-setting into uncharted territory. Each stone is first mounted into hand-polished gold prongs, then individually embedded into the black Carbon TPT dial and bezel, creating a constellation that's as much about engineering achievement as aesthetic impact. The case measures 45.66 mm x 31.40 mm x 11.85 mm—length x width x thickness.Sticker Price USD 397,000. More info on Richard Mille here.

Subtle touches of red gold provide warmth against the incredible brilliance of the snow-set diamonds, creating visual interest without overwhelming the design's inherent elegance.

Baguette-cut diamonds—rectangular stones that demand precise cutting and setting—create clean lines across the case.

In 2017, the brand produced its first watch expressly conceived for cyclists: the RM 70-01 Tourbillon Alain Prost, a 30-piece limited edition designed in close collaboration with the four-time Formula One World Champion, who had become an avid cyclist and a personal friend of Richard Mille. That watch, with its case curved to sit comfortably on the right wrist while gripping a handlebar, and its movement populated with details evoking cranks, spokes, and pedals, established the template for what a cycling watch could be. Each of the 30 examples came paired with a bespoke Colnago bicycle—designed by Alain Prost and the bicycle manufacturer—, making the Italian marque a silent but meaningful presence in the collaboration even then.Few brands outside the watch world have earned the kind of devotion that Colnago bicycles command among cycling's faithful. Founded by Ernesto Colnago in Cambiago—a small town some 20 km northeast of Milan—in 1954, the Italian frame builder's designs have carried riders to Tour de France victories, World Championship titles, and Olympic podiums across seven decades. In 2025, Richard Mille formalized its own bond with Pogačar, welcoming the Slovenian as a Friend of the Brand—a relationship that had been building since 2021, when Richard Mille first partnered with UAE Team Emirates. Colnago Bikes Office.jpg Colnago Bikes 2.jpg Colnago Bikes.jpg Colnago Bikes 3.jpg The RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago, developed in close collaboration with Colnago's designers and limited to 50 examples, is the fullest expression yet of that convergence between watchmaking and cycling's highest registers of craft and performance. Things to Know About the WatchThe Richard Mille RM 64-01 was conceived as a single integrated object—movement, case, and dial developed in complete harmony, much as a Formula 1 chassis and engine are engineered as one unified system rather than separate components bolted together. The tripartite case measures 43.21 x 49.94 x 14.23 mm and is crafted from White Quartz TPT, the layered composite material Richard Mille prizes for its exceptional mechanical resilience at minimal weight. Azure Blue Quartz TPT inlays set into the notched bezels extend the calibre's diagonal lines outward, carrying the movement's graphic energy all the way to the caseback and charging the entire shell with a sense of kinetic momentum. The crown is crafted from Quartz TPT and 5N 18K red gold, and finished with a black-lacquered Ace of Clubs motif, Colnago's iconic emblem. The center of the dial was designed to resemble the frame of a Colnago bike. Richard Mille RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago 12.jpg Richard Mille RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago .jpg Richard Mille RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago -1.jpg Richard Mille RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago -5.jpg The case is water-resistant to 50 meters, sealed by two Nitrile O-rings, and assembled with 20 spline screws in grade 5 titanium with abrasion-resistant washers in 316L stainless steel—the same forensic attention to fastening you would expect from a race-prepared bicycle. The 5N 18K red gold flange—an alloy appearing for the first time on a Richard Mille sports watch—frames the movement and carries index points filled with luminous material. The hands designed specifically for this reference echo the crank arms of a bicycle bottom bracket, grounding the visual language firmly in the peloton. The MovementThe RM 64-01 calibre was built around three principles borrowed directly from frame engineering: lightness, transparency, and volume. Its skeletonized grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges are microblasted across their faces, with each edge hand-polished to a bevel before a black and grey PVD treatment is applied—a finishing sequence that rewards close inspection with a shifting play of surface textures. The barrel, positioned at 1 o'clock and delivering a 65-hour power reserve, sits in deliberate symmetry with the variable-inertia tourbillon at 7 o'clock, mirroring the spatial logic of a bicycle drivetrain. The upper titanium bridges feature a star-shaped geometry drawn from Colnago’s Master frame profiles of the 1980s, which were engineered to improve torsional rigidity without adding mass. Across the movement's 274 components, the architecture is sufficiently open that the eye moves through the calibre the way it might trace a racing frame: following tube and junction, weight and void. Summary & PriceThe Richard Mille RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago is a watch that earns its complexity by subordinating spectacle to purpose. Every material choice, every formal allusion to Colnago's frame-building vocabulary, serves a precision instrument built like the machines Pogačar rides to his victories, around the belief that engineering at its most refined is indistinguishable from art.Sticker Price CHF 800,000—approx USD 1,098,000.

This new watch limited to just 28 pieces transforms the mythical crystal palace built by Merlin for the ‘Lady of the Lake’ into a wearable work of art. According to Arthurian lore, Merlin used his enchanting powers to construct a glittering crystal palace for his beloved, situated on a lake surrounded by beautiful gardens. The palace's magical invisibility protected the Lady from prying eyes—a tale of devotion that Roger Dubuis has masterfully translated into horological form. A Complex Unique Dial with Revolutionary Diamond SettingThe 45 mm pink gold case features a crown protector shaped like a sword guard, symbolizing Excalibur being drawn from the stone. A sapphire window beneath the bezel allows appreciation of the dial's dimensional complexity and shadow play, while the exhibition case back reveals a 360-degree oscillating weight that evokes medieval castle stained-glass windows. The dial on the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Knights of the Round Table 'The Enchanter Merlin' represents perhaps one of the most complex dial constructions in contemporary watchmaking. Built upon a precisely machined 18K pink gold base plate, 56 individual columns create a dramatic landscape of varying heights from 0.2 mm to 3.7 mm. The composition includes:9 columns in Murano-style glass19 in polished white enamel10 in matte white enamel9 in rhodium-plated gold that are diamond-set9 in polished 18K pink goldThe most striking innovation of this timepiece lies in its pioneering ‘invisibility’ diamond setting—a technique Roger Dubuis is employing for the first time. Nine rhodium-plated gold columns are crowned with hexagonal diamonds, each precisely clipped into hidden grooves at the top of the gold. This creates an almost illusory appearance where the diamonds seem to float seamlessly above their settings, echoing the mystical properties of Merlin's invisible palace. The hexagonal cut itself is a rarity in diamond craftsmanship. Unlike traditional rounded bottoms, these gemstones are shaped entirely to showcase their distinctive edges from every angle, maximizing their reflective properties and creating mesmerizing light play across the dial. At the dial's foundation lies a layer of sparkling ruthenium crystals—Crystalium—from the rare platinum family. This crystallization creates the appearance of a glistening still lake, directly connecting the timepiece to Merlin's legendary story while showcasing Roger Dubuis' mastery of exotic materials. Surrounding this crystalline tableau—table—stand twelve hand-engraved Arthurian knights, each a 6 mm-tall masterpiece of micro-sculpture. These guardians watch over the ‘Lady of the Lake’, positioned against a white Murano-style glass flange bearing the Roger Dubuis name and indexes in 18K pink gold. The creation process for each knight is extraordinarily detailed. Beginning with elaborate sketches and meticulously sculpted resin prototypes, each figure is 3D scanned, then molded and cast in 18K pink gold. Master engravers then spend two to three days on each knight, carving the thinnest sword blades, etching the finest helmet details, and imbuing every figure with distinct personality. A subtle black patina enhances contrast and reveals the intricate textures within each miniature warrior. The MovementPowering this artistic triumph is the automatic Monobalancier RD821 calibre, entirely manufactured in-house. The 172-component movement showcases 14 distinctive types of hand-finishing, meeting the stringent requirements for Poinçon de Genève certification. On the case back, each watch features the same enduring quote engraved on every Knights of the Round Table model since 2013:"Around this table, the bravest knights will gather as equals. They will set forth in search of adventure, righting wrongs, protecting the weak and humbling the proud.” The Art of Hyper HorologyWith only 28 pieces available exclusively through Roger Dubuis boutiques, ownership represents entry into a rare fellowship of collectors. The timepiece is paired with a white leather strap featuring Roger Dubuis' Quick Release system, ensuring both comfort and convenience for the modern knight.‘The Enchanter Merlin’ exemplifies Roger Dubuis' philosophy of "Hyper Horology"—the limitless pursuit of horological expression through technical innovation and artistic vision. Since the Knights of the Round Table collection's debut in 2013, each iteration has pushed boundaries while honoring the timeless values of courage, chivalry, and craftsmanship.This latest chapter stands as testament to Roger Dubuis' ability to transform legend into living art, creating not merely a timepiece, but a crystalline portal to the mystical world of Arthurian romance. Available in a limited edition of only 28 pieces through Roger Dubuis boutiques. Sticker Price USD 398,500. For more info on Roger Dubuis click here.

Limited to just 28 pieces, this isn't merely a watch with racing stripes; it's a timepiece in which the rubber strap features inlays from Pirelli tires that have competed in Formula 1, making it perhaps the most literal translation of "racing machines on the wrist" the industry has seen. Things to Know About the WatchThe 45 mm case construction speaks to Roger Dubuis's "Hyper Horology" philosophy—lightweight black carbon paired with a virtually scratchproof ceramic bezel. The openwork dial showcases multiple layers that create depth and movement, while the skeletonized architecture provides unobstructed views of the mechanical theater within. Even the pushers have been hollowed out, reducing mass without sacrificing strength. At 3 o'clock sits the brand's 120-degree Rotating Minute Counter—RMC—, a patent-pending complication featuring a tripartite hand carrying the digits 0, 1, and 2 across a fixed 0-9 scale. For this Mexico Edition, those oversized numerals are rendered in the colors of the Mexican flag—a detail that transforms functional legibility into national celebration. The second innovation, the Second Braking System—SBS—, integrates directly into the vertical clutch to eliminate the unwanted flicker that plagues chronograph seconds hands, ensuring precision timing worthy of the track. The MovementMexico's motorsport identity permeates every surface. The tri-color theme appears across the dial's counters, while the black DLC titanium case back proudly displays "MEXICO" alongside pole position flags and the Pirelli logo—all visible through the sapphire crystal. The Quick Release System rubber strap, embedded with authentic race-worn Pirelli rubber, quite literally puts championship-winning DNA on your wrist.The heart of this celebration beats with the RD780 calibre, a movement that straddles the line between traditional haute horlogerie and patent-pending innovation. Meeting the exacting Poinçon de Genève standard, it features a classic vertical clutch paired with a column wheel at 6 o'clock—crafted in stainless steel with a polished zinc finish that catches the light like championship trophies. Summary But Roger Dubuis didn't stop at heritage. With only 28 examples produced—a number perhaps nodding to the 28 corners of Mexico City's Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez—this Excalibur Spider represents more than collaborative watchmaking. It's a tribute to a nation's racing passion, executed with two patents, Poinçon de Genève certification, and rubber that has delivered podium finishes.Sticker Price USD 101,500.

Watches and Wonders 2026 marks 100 years since Rolex patented the Oyster case—the world's first waterproof wristwatch case—and the brand is using the occasion to revisit some of its most enduring reference points. The Datejust 41 ref. 126334 is one of the centennial's defining pieces: a configuration that feels genuinely new while leaning into everything the model does best. A fluted white gold bezel, a robust Oystersteel case, and a dial that earns sustained attention. Things to Know About the WatchThe 41 mm case is rendered in white Rolesor—Rolex's term for the pairing of Oystersteel and 18K white gold— with the fluted bezel in the latter material. The dial is where the story lives. Green lacquer is applied to the entire base plate first, then black lacquer is sprayed outward in concentric motions to produce the ombré gradient, deepening from a vivid green at the center to near-black at the rim. This marks the first time an ombré Datejust dial has been produced entirely via lacquering since the technique returned to the catalog in 2019, making it both a centennial-year piece and a meaningful first in the model's own history. White gold hour markers with Chromalight luminescence read clearly against the gradient's depth, and the date window at 3 o'clock benefits from the contrast with the darkened edge. The watch ships on an Oyster bracelet with polished center links and satin-finished outer links. The MovementCalibre 3235 powers the ref. 126334. The in-house automatic runs at 28,800 vph with a 70-hour power reserve. The patented Chronergy escapement —paramagnetic nickel-phosphorus pallet fork and escape wheel— delivers high energy efficiency with strong resistance to magnetism. The blue Parachrom hairspring adds further resilience to temperature variation and shocks, the latter also absorbed by Paraflex shock absorbers. Precision after casing is certified to ±2 seconds per day. For 2026, the Superlative Chronometer certification gains three new testing criteria: resistance to magnetism, reliability, and sustainability. On the Wrist & PriceAt 100 years old, Rolex is doing what it does best: taking a proven formula and finding exactly the right new expression for it. The green lacquer ombré is a first for the steel Datejust, and it arrives at standard retail pricing with no premium for the added production complexity. At the end of the day, green is the color of the “green watch giant.”Sticker Price USD 11,650. More info on Rolex here.

Introducing: Rolex Day-Date 40 in Jubilee Gold with Green Aventurine Dial—Reference 228235JG

At Watches and Wonders 2026, the brand unveiled Jubilee Gold, a proprietary 18K alloy developed and produced entirely in-house, and debuted it on the Day-Date 40 alongside a natural green aventurine dial. The result is one of the most quietly striking Day-Dates in years and, fittingly, one of the most exclusive pieces Rolex has ever shown. The timing carries weight, too: 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the Rolex Oyster case, patented in 1926, and the Day-Date's own 70th birthday. Things to Know About the WatchJubilee Gold is the story here. Unlike yellow gold's warmth or Everose gold's blush, this new alloy shifts across tones of tender yellow, warm grey, and soft pink depending on the light, subtler than any Rolex gold that's come before it. The 40 mm Oyster case, fluted bezel, and President bracelet are all rendered in this new metal, with the bracelet's solid links incorporating ceramic inserts to reduce wear. The dial is natural aventurine stone with a pale green color with scattered grey inclusions. The dial is set with ten baguette-cut diamond hour markers. A sapphire crystal with Cyclops magnifier sits over the date at 3 o'clock, and the case is water-resistant to 100 meters via a screw-down Twinlock crown. Reference 228235JG-0003 is an off-catalog model, produced in very limited numbers and allocated exclusively through select authorized dealers. The MovementPowering the watch is caliber 3255, Rolex's self-winding manufacture movement, and the benchmark by which modern Rolex precision is measured. It beats at 28,800 vph and delivers a 70-hour power reserve. At its heart is the Chronergy escapement—a patented design that improves energy efficiency—paired with a blue Parachrom hairspring for resistance to magnetic fields and temperature shifts. For 2026, Rolex has upgraded its Superlative Chronometer certification standards across the board, adding hundreds of additional checks at the design and manufacturing stages. On the Wrist & PriceThe Day-Date 40 in Jubilee Gold with green aventurine dial is a study in restraint at the top of the market. The muted alloy and cool aventurine dial are prestigious without announcing themselves. It wears like the most considered Day-Date in the current lineup, and it's the only watch in the world currently carrying Jubilee Gold. That exclusivity, combined with its off-catalog status, makes it one of the harder conversations you'll need to have with your AD.Sticker Price USD 62,700 USD. More info on Rolex here.

The Cosmograph Daytona reference 126502 is the first Daytona configured in Rolesium—pairing Oystersteel with 950 platinum—and the first mostly-steel Daytona to be fitted with an enamel dial—not Grand Feu—and a sapphire display case back. Arriving in the centenary year of the Rolex Oyster case, which was patented in 1926, the watch reads like a fan-service exercise on paper and a genuine technical flex in the metal. This is also an off-catalog release, which means production will be even more constrained than the already elusive 126500LN. Things to Know About the WatchThe 40 mm Oyster case retains the current-generation Daytona architecture, measuring 11.9 mm thick and featuring 100-meter water resistance, a monobloc middle case, Triplock crown, and screw-down chronograph pushers. What is new is the material vocabulary. The case middle and bracelet are 904L Oystersteel, while the thin band framing the bezel and the ring securing the sapphire caseback are both 950 platinum—the combination Rolex first designated as Rolesium on the 1999 Yacht-Master. The bezel itself is a newly developed anthracite Cerachrom insert—slightly less dark than the usual black— in tungsten-rich ceramic, with a horizontally oriented tachymetric scale PVD-coated in platinum that visually echoes the earliest 1963 Cosmograph Daytonas. The dial is a four-piece enamel in stark white, with red "Daytona" script, applied 18K white gold hour markers, and Chromalight-filled white gold hands. The MovementPowering the reference 126502 is the in-house calibre 4131, the automatic chronograph movement introduced with the 2023 Daytona generation. It beats at 28,800 vph, delivers a 72-hour power reserve, and incorporates the Chronergy escapement, blue Parachrom hairspring with Rolex overcoil, variable-inertia balance with gold Microstella regulation, and Paraflex shock absorbers. On the Wrist & PriceOn the wrist, the 126502 carries the familiar heft and drape of the 126500LN, but reveals itself on closer inspection: the enamel dial has a depth that lacquer cannot replicate, and the anthracite bezel shifts warmly against the steel case in the light. The pricing is the debate, as this reference costs more than the solid white gold Daytona, a fact the market will litigate for some time. Rolex will point to the four-piece enamel dial, the new ceramic formulation, and the Rolesium caseback architecture as the justification—and for collectors who prize technical novelty over material weight, that case writes itself.Sticker Price USD 57,800.

Rather than reach for precious metals or complications, Rolex turned to its own typographic heritage, reviving the Jubilee motif as the centerpiece of a multicolored lacquer dial that is as technically demanding as it is visually joyful. Things to Know About the WatchThe Jubilee motif was first introduced on Rolex dials in the late 1970s and has since become an emblem of the brand's decorative vocabulary. Here it is reinterpreted across a lacquer dial in no fewer than ten colors, each applied sequentially—not simultaneously—requiring exceptional precision to maintain alignment of every letterform and shape. The pattern is built from the letters of the Rolex name, arranged in a repeating, all-over composition that rewards a close look. The 36 mm Oystersteel case is unchanged in its fundamentals: the familiar round case with screw-down winding crown and Twinlock crown system, water-resistant to 100 meters, paired with the three-link Oyster bracelet. The watch is also the first generation of the Oyster Perpetual to carry Rolex's newly updated Superlative Chronometer certification, reflecting tightened in-house accuracy standards. The MovementPowering the ref. 126000 is the calibre 3230, Rolex's self-winding manufacture movement featuring the Chronergy escapement, a redesigned lever-and-escape wheel system offering improved energy efficiency, along with a Parachrom hairspring for resistance to magnetic fields and shocks. Power reserve is approximately 70 hours. On the Wrist & PriceThe Oyster Perpetual 36 with multicolored Jubilee motif dial is a confident, characterful release that earns its place in the centenary celebrations, not through extravagance, but through craft. The dial alone tells a story about what Rolex's in-house artisans are capable of, and the result is one of the most compelling entries in the Oyster Perpetual family in years.Sticker Price USD 6,750.

Few complications command as much respect as the tourbillon, and only a handful manage to reinvent this centuries-old complication with bold aesthetic vision. Enter Speake-Marin's latest masterpiece: the Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour, just unveiled at Geneva Watch Days 2025.Founded in 2002 by British watchmaker Peter Speake-Marin, who created his namesake brand, the brand has been led by CEO Christelle Rosnoblet since 2012. Speake-Marin consistently pushes boundaries while respecting traditions, and is currently undergoing a revival period following the release of the Ripples model.This new Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour draws inspiration from the "purple hour"—that magical twilight moment when the sky transforms into mesmerizing shades of violet and blue. Speake Marin has captured this ethereal beauty in horological form, with a vivid purple dial that shifts and dances as light plays across its surface. The regal hue creates what the manufacture describes as a "mysterious, regal and almost mystical atmosphere," constantly metamorphosing under different lighting conditions while celebrating the artistry of mechanical timekeeping. Things to Know About the WatchAt the heart of this Grade 5 titanium case—available in 38 mm or 42 mm—beats the manufacture's in-house SMA05 calibre. Developed by Le Cercle Des Horlogers, this automatic movement delivers an impressive 72-hour power reserve. The star is the flying tourbillon at the distinctive 1:30 position—a signature Speake Marin placement. Unlike traditional tourbillons, the flying variant is supported at only one point, requiring exceptional precision. The 62-component cage weighing just 0.56 grams performs its hypnotic dance beneath a rhodium-plated bridge shaped like the brand's iconic topping tool. The SMA05 automatic movement beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour and delivers an impressive 72-hour power reserve from its single mainspring barrel. Following Speake-Marin's design philosophy, the rhodium-finished tungsten micro-rotor is seamlessly incorporated within the mechanism—visible from the front—, contributing to the movement's slim profile and enabling a notably thin case construction.The solid case back, secured by eight screws, incorporates a sapphire crystal that reveals the movement's sophisticated finishing. Black rhodium-plated bridges showcase precise beveled edges and feature traditional Côtes de Genève decoration with 1.5mm striping. These elements frame a central bridge finished in black PVD coating, which accentuates the mesmerizing interplay of the movement's rotating components. An additional decorative element—a second topping tool—is strategically positioned above the mainspring barrel, visible through the exhibition caseback. The ‘Piccadilly’ case design—refined by designer Eric Giroud—features a flat, brushed titanium middle case behind a polished domed bezel and is available in either 38 mm or 42 mm in diameter.The dial features a three-dimensional architecture with a satin-finished, two-layer plate and a positive purple PVD coating. Bevelled edges display a glossy effect, enhancing the color's luminosity, while microbeaded finishes add textural depth. The power reserve indicator at 7:30 provides practical functionality, alerting when the 72-hour reserve nears depletion. The purple calf leather strap, featuring an embossed denim motif and a titanium clasp, completes the aesthetic. For serious watch collectors, this limited-production timepiece represents exceptional value in manufacture tourbillons and will be available starting in November 2025.Sticker Price CHF 69,900—approx. USD 86,700—for the 42 mm model and CHF 69,400—approx USD 86,100—for the 38 mm model. More info on Speake-Marin here.

For Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the new Ripples Kármán Line—named for the boundary 100 kilometers above sea level where Earth's atmosphere yields to outer space—sharpens the collection's proposition considerably. At 40.3 mm across and just 6.30 mm thick, powered by a fully in-house high-frequency calibre, this is Speake Marin making a pointed statement about what an independent manufacture can deliver in the ultra-thin segment. Things to Know About the WatchThe case is made of 904L stainless steel, a higher-grade alloy known for superior corrosion resistance and a more brilliant polish than the industry-standard 316L. Designer Stéphane Lacroix's "La City" case shape—a hybrid of circle and square that has become a Ripples signature—benefits from its thinness, with alternating polished and satin surfaces that emphasize how little vertical real estate the watch occupies on the wrist. Additionally, the watch offers four looks thanks to its interchangeable strap system, which lets the wearer switch from bracelet to strap.

For the first time in the Ripples lineup, Speake Marin has opted for a sapphire crystal dial, introducing genuine depth and transparency to the blue-toned composition. Beneath the sapphire, Geneva stripes and a sunray texture are enhanced by blue metallization, while a rhodium-plated ring frames the small seconds counter positioned at 1:30—the brand's characteristic off-axis subdial placement. The heart-shaped hour hand, a nod to London's Big Ben and Speake Marin's British founding roots, remains. The minute flange, secured via an under-set mechanical snap-fit method that eliminates adhesive or solder, transitions from azure to deeper blue depending on how light hits its opal microbeaded surface. The MovementAt the heart of the piece is the SMA06, an automatic calibre conceived and engineered entirely at Le Cercle des Horlogers, Speake Marin's manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. At just 2.5 mm thick, the movement runs at a high-frequency 5 Hz (36,000 vph), delivering the kind of chronometric stability and smooth seconds-hand sweep typically reserved for movements with considerably more case depth to work with.

Reference Type 4A-2 Floating Feathers There are collaborations, and then there are collaborations. The former category is crowded with co-branded dials dressed up as creative partnerships. The latter is rare, and the Type 4A-2 Floating Feathers, the third collaborative timepiece between The Armoury and Naoya Hida & Co., belongs firmly in the rare camp.The Armoury is a menswear retailer with locations in Hong Kong and New York, built on a passion for classic tailoring and a deep appreciation for the artisans and makers behind well-crafted clothing, footwear, and accessories. Beyond ready-to-wear, the brand cultivates long-standing relationships with Japanese and international bespoke practitioners, a network that has naturally extended into horology through collaborative timepiece projects with Naoya Hida & Co., a Tokyo-based independent founded in 2018 by Naoya Hida, formerly Japan representative for both F.P. Journe and Ralph Lauren Watch and Jewelry. The brand marries skilled hand craftsmanship with precision microfabrication, drawing on design motifs from the 1930s–'60s golden age of mechanical watchmaking. Things to Know About the WatchConceived by The Armoury's co-founder Mark Cho and designer Elliot Hammer—both long admirers of mid-twentieth-century decorative dials, Cloisonné birds and botanicals among them—it took Naoya Hida & Co.'s in-house engraving expertise to finally make revisiting that tradition possible. The case is Naoya Hida's Type 4 reference measuring 36 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick, machined from 904L stainless steel with lyre lugs shaped after 1960s proportions. Water resistance is rated to 50 meters via a screw case back.Master engraver Keisuke Kano works the surface in Argentium silver, an alloy chosen specifically for its tarnish resistance. Three feathers float across the bead-blasted ground, each rendered with individual barbs and vane texture, brought to life by the shimmer of precisely cut exposed silver. Hammer framed the intent well: "If there are feathers, there must have also once been a bird." Surrounding the engraved composition are 60 minute markers and twelve 18K yellow gold spherical globes individually assembled into the chapter ring to mark the hours, each a small jewel of craft. Brand logos and minute markers are applied via ultra-precision micro-milling to preserve legibility without intruding on the dial's delicate balance. Solid 18K yellow gold hands, sharply faceted and hand-polished, provide deliberate contrast to the organic engraving beneath—the tip of the long hand bent to align precisely with the minute scale. A blued steel seconds hand with a "caviar spoon" counterweight completes the composition. A strongly domed sapphire crystal with double-sided AR treatment, cut to evoke vintage acrylic profiles, sits above it all. The MovementInside sits the manual-wound caliber 3020CS, an ETA 7750 platform reworked into a time-only movement with center seconds, fitted with a custom backplate and Hida's own finishing. The movement beats at 28,800 vph and provides approximately 45 hours of power reserve. The movement is protected by a solid case back. Summary & PriceTen pieces will be produced in 2026, with deliveries in 2027. Applications—a simple questionnaire—may be submitted in-store or online between May 17 and 20. For a watch like this, the process feels right, but the price seems quite high for a watch with an ETA-modified calibre. The watch is manufactured entirely in Japan and worn on a hand-stitched charcoal grey calf strap by Jean Rousseau with a 904L steel pin buckle.Sticker Price USD 33,000.

Introducing: The Hermès H08 Squelette—Where the Architecture Is the Dial (Live Photos)

The H08 Squelette—three years in development—is the collection's first skeletonized timepiece, and the one that most clearly argues for the H08 as a genuine object of manufacture watchmaking rather than a design-forward fashion accessory. Strip the dial from a watch whose case geometry has always done the design heavy lifting, and what's left either validates the investment in horology or exposes the gap. Here, it validates it entirely. The H08 Squelette is available in four colorways. Things to Know About the WatchThe case retains the H08's signature cushion geometry, measuring 39 x 42 mm, black DLC-treated titanium, a satin-brushed ceramic bezel with mirror-polished chamfers, sapphire front and back, and 100-meter water resistance. What changes completely is the dial architecture. Where the standard H08 fills its face with a solid display, the Squelette removes virtually everything, leaving bridges, gears, and the balance wheel as the visual content. Hermès H08 Squelette-2.jpg Hermès H08 Squelette-10.jpg Hermès H08 Squelette-3.jpg Hermès H08 Squelette-14.jpg Critically, Hermès designed the movement's architecture to echo the case shape—the mainplate and bridges trace the cushion outline rather than occupying a traditional round calibre footprint. The hour markers are precision-cut solid blocks of SuperLumiNova in either blue or grey, floating above the mechanical void and delivering genuine legibility. A grey transfer-printed minute track follows the case contour; the semi-openworked seconds hand carries a case-shaped counterweight. For the first time on an H08, there is no date display—a correct call. The MovementPowering the H08 Squelette is the automatic movement calibre H1978S. This new movement, designed from the ground up for this watch, was developed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier and is fabricated entirely from black PVD-treated titanium. The automatic movement comprises 168 components inlcuding 26 jewels, and beats at 28,800 vph, delivering 60 hours of power reserve—an upgrade from the 50-hour base H08 calibre. The oscillating weight is semi-square in profile, directly referencing the H08 case shape. It has been validated to the equivalent of ten years of continuous wear. On the Wrist & PriceThe Hermès H08 Squelette is the most coherent case for Hermès as a serious watchmaker the collection has yet produced. This is a sports watch where the movement is designed to earn its visibility rather than merely accept it. A perfect evolution for a very good-looking watch.Sticker Price USD 21,600.

The new Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 26’ arrives as the brand's annual livery-inspired chronograph tied to the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls team—now two seasons into their partnership—and to the 2026 car, the VCARB 03. The defining update over last year's ‘Carbon 25’ is a shift from blue to yellow accents, drawn directly from the VCARB 03's engine cowling, running across the minute track, subdial scales, and date disc. VCARB drivers Liam Lawson and rookie Arvid Lindblad will be wearing it in the paddock this weekend. Things to Know About the WatchThe 42 mm case is carbon composite throughout, including the one-piece fixed tachymetric bezel. Meanwhile, the watch is equipped with black PVD titanium pushers, a screw-down crown with a Tudor rose in relief, and an integrated hybrid leather-rubber strap with a tire tread pattern and white contrast stitching. The dial is what Tudor calls ‘racing white,’ domed, with layered construction alternating brass discs and carbon fiber sheets to produce the subdial registers and date surround in actual carbon—not a printed approximation. Snowflake hands, a Tudor signature since 1969, are black-outlined and lume-filled. PVD-finished titanium screw-down pushers sit at 2 and 4 o'clock; a titanium case back with individual numbering, and carbon fiber end-links connect the case to the strap. Water resistance is 200 meters. It is worth mentioning that the case back engraving for the Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 26’ differs from that of its predecessor, the ‘Carbon 25’, this time featuring a checkered flag motif and the year 2026—the Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 25’ case back features an F1 car on it. The MovementPowering the Tudor Black Bay Chrono 'Carbon 26' is the in-house Tudor calibre MT5813 manufacture chronograph movement, co-developed with Breitling on the architecture of the B01 and adapted to Tudor's specifications. It is COSC-certified and equipped with a column wheel, vertical clutch, silicon balance spring, and variable-inertia balance. Power reserve is approximately 70 hours. METAS certification is absent here—a conversation that will persist as that standard becomes more prevalent across the Tudor lineup. Summary & PriceThe Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 26’ continues to demonstrate Tudor's willingness to push beyond conventional luxury watch materials while maintaining the core identity that has made the Black Bay line so successful. For collectors who appreciate the intersection of automotive inspiration and horological excellence, this limited-edition chronograph is one of 2026's most compelling releases. The connection to Formula One racing feels authentic rather than forced, and the Tudor Black Bay Chrono 'Carbon 26' is available in a limited edition of 2,026 pieces, each individually numbered.

The new reference is not a re-edition but more of a restatement: the same essential character with a faceted case, a mixed-numerals “California” dial, dressed-down sensibility now executed with a manufacture movement and a METAS Master Chronometer certification that simply did not exist when the original Monarch was presented. At 39 mm in stainless steel, it occupies a genuinely accessible size and price bracket while carrying technical credentials that most competitors charge considerably more to match. Things to Know About the WatchThe watch features a 39 mm case that is 11.9 mm thick, proportions that sit closer to a gentleman's dress watch than anything in the Black Bay lineup. Polished and satin surfaces alternate across the faceted lugs and bracelet links, lending the watch a geometric precision that photographs sharply and reads quietly on the wrist. View fullsize Tudor Monarch-3.jpg View fullsize Tudor Monarch-10.jpg View fullsize Tudor Monarch-5.jpg View fullsize Tudor Monarch-9.jpg The dial is the piece's genuine surprise: a dark champagne—Tudor calls it papyrus—”California” dial with vertical-brushed surface with applied hour markers that mix Roman numerals from 10 to 2 with Arabic numerals from 4 to 8. The combination references Tudor's early Error-Proof dials and gives the Monarch a legibility that is both unusual and immediately arresting. A snailed small running seconds subdial sits at 6 o'clock. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters. The MovementPowering the new Monarch is the Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5662-2U. This automatic movement is exclusive to the Monarch and visible through a full display case back. Its finishing follows traditional decoration with perlage on the mainplate, Côtes de Genève on the bridges, and an 18K gold inlay on the bidirectional rotor. The variable inertia balance wheel runs at 28,800 vph, anchored by a traversing bridge with two-point support, and the balance spring is a non-magnetic silicon alloy. COSC certification comes first, followed by METAS Master Chronometer certification which requires the movement to perform within a 0/+5 seconds daily tolerance and function accurately through magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. Power reserve is certified by METAS at 65 hours. On the Wrist & PriceThe Tudor Monarch comes as a surprise and pleasant release from the brand as it celebrates its 100 years of history. The watch comes with serious horological credentials, a highly appealing design for most watch collectors, historically fueled DNA, and a price that is quite compelling in this segment of the watch market. For collectors who find the Black Bay formula exhausted, this is a meaningful alternative. On the wrist, the watch feels just right. Sticker Price USD 5,875. For more info on Tudor, click here.

The URWERK UR-120 Blue Planet is the third and final iteration of a model that has become one of the most cinematically charged pieces in contemporary independent watchmaking. Urwerk is not hedging. This is a farewell, and it has been built accordingly.The UR-120 Blue Planet arrives in deep blue, not the polished, aspirational blue of a dress watch dial, but something heavier, suspended somewhere between the color of Earth seen from orbit and the cold infinite of open space. Against that background, 24K yellow-gold PVD-treated lyre springs catch the light like something energized. Things to Know About the UR-120 Blue PlanetThe URWERK UR-120's defining gesture is the Vulcan salute—and it is not a visual trick. As each of the three-hour satellites reaches the left edge of the case, its two rectangular arms split apart to form a V. This is a fully engineered horological complication. Each satellite's arms pivot independently on their own axes, controlled by a lyre-shaped spring produced in-house, with Maltese crosses choreographing the sequence to within a micron. Felix Baumgartner is plain about what this required: the carousel alone comprises 175 components, and controlling their interactions demands energy management of uncommon precision. The case follows Martin Frei's two-part interlocking construction—base and upper shell fitted together with a seam that disappears—giving the UR-120 the visual language of a space module. At 47 x 44 x 15.8 mm in sandblasted titanium and steel, it wears with exactly the presence those dimensions imply. Articulated lugs extend it seamlessly, and a spring inside the 6 o'clock lug fine-tunes the wrist fit. Water resistance is pressure-tested to 30 meters. The Blue Planet is limited to 20 pieces, and URWERK has confirmed this is the final UR-120 and no further editions will follow. The MovementCalibre UR-20.01 is a self-winding automatic movement displaying time through three hour satellites orbiting a central carousel on triple planetary gears. The satellites counter-rotate to remain legible as the carousel advances. The movement beats at 28,800 vph with a 48-hour power reserve. Materials include beryllium copper, anodized aluminum, ARCAP, titanium, brass, LIGA-processed components, and blue ALD (atomic layer deposition)-treated parts, with lyre springs and Maltese crosses in 24K yellow-gilt PVD. Finishing encompasses circular graining, straight graining, sandblasting, Côtes de Genève motif, and polished screw heads. On the Wrist & PriceThe UR-120 Blue Planet is a final transmission. For one last time, those satellites open into a V beneath the sapphire crystal—a Vulcan salute from a watch that has operated at the furthest edge of what independent watchmaking attempts. Twenty pieces. No sequels. It wears on a blue Cordura-textured calfskin strap with a satin-brushed steel pin buckle in blue PVD.Sticker Price USD 156,000. For more info on Urwerk, click here.

The Super Freak is not a celebration edition. It is a culmination: a four-year-in-the-making, 511-component declaration that the Freak family has still not reached its ceiling. Things to Know About the WatchThe Super Freak carries the full weight of the Freak lineage in a 44 mm white gold case—with a total weight of 53 grams—, yet the architecture inside bears no resemblance to any predecessor. The watch simultaneously deploys two flying tourbillons, each inclined at 10°, mounted on a flying carousel that rotates around its own axis — a visual spectacle that doubles as a genuine anti-gravity solution. View fullsize Ulysse Nardin Super Freak-4.jpg View fullsize Ulysse Nardin Super Freak-7.jpg View fullsize Ulysse Nardin Super Freak-6.jpg View fullsize Ulysse Nardin Super Freak-5.jpg Underpinning all of it is the world's smallest differential, measuring just 5 mm across and assembled from 69 components, including ceramic ball bearings manufactured to micron-level tolerances. A patented gimbal system—also the smallest of its kind—ensures the twin regulators operate in continuous equilibrium regardless of wrist orientation. Production is limited to 50 pieces in this nanosital transparent blue dial variant. The MovementPowering the Super Freak is the calibre UN-252, a self-winding manufacture movement—grinder winding system—that required four years of development and comprises 511 parts. Two independent silicon balance wheels and balance springs each beat at 2.5 Hz (18,000 vph), synchronized via the vertical differential. Both escapements use Ulysse Nardin's proprietary DIAMonSIL technology—diamond-coated silicon components that run without lubrication. Power reserve is 72 hours. Ulysse Nardin calls this the most complicated time-only watch ever made, and on mechanical grounds, the claim is difficult to contest. The rotating seconds cylinder in itself is a feat of horology. What makes the UN-252 particularly remarkable is the orchestration required to keep its competing systems in harmony. One single watchmaker works on it, and 70% of the movement is hand-finished. The two tourbillons do not operate independently; they are coupled through the vertical differential, which continuously averages their outputs to deliver a single, corrected impulse to the hands. The carousel adds another layer of three-dimensional motion, rotating the entire tourbillon assembly as a unit while each regulator spins on its own axis. Titanium bridges keep the overall weight in check without compromising structural rigidity. The result is a movement that functions less like a collection of complications and more like a precision instrument engineered around a single obsessive goal: accuracy. On the Wrist & PriceThe Super Freak represents the most ambitious chapter yet in the Freak story. This is a watch-collecting game-changer and one that treats horological complexity not as an end in itself, but as a language for pushing what a time-only watch can articulate. Simply amazing on the wrist.Sticker Price CHF 320,000. For more information on Ulysse Nardin, click here.

Few watches in the Vacheron Constantin catalog carry the historical weight of the American 1921. Born from a small series produced for the American market in 1921, its cushion case, 45-degree offset dial, and unconventionally positioned crown remain as visually arresting today as they were in the Roaring Twenties. The 2026 iteration doesn’t reinvent the formula; it refines it.Two new variations arrive in 36.5 mm and 40 mm cases in 18K 5N pink gold, each distinguished by a grained silver-tone dial with bright blue Arabic numerals and 18K gold blued hands. The finishing includes a circular satin treatment around the dial periphery that contrasts with snailing in the small seconds counter, which sits at 3 o'clock. A dark blue patinated calfskin strap with a gradient effect ties the palette together with appropriate restraint. The MovementPowering the watch is the calibre 4400 AS, Vacheron Constantin's in-house manual wound movement composed of 127 components with a 65-hour power reserve. It is rotated within the case to reconcile its functions with the asymmetrical dial layout, a small but telling detail. Côtes de Genève decoration across the two large bridges and the balance cock are visible through the sapphire case back. Both references carry the Hallmark of Geneva, with all that entails for finishing standards and provenance verification. On the Wrist & PriceThe American 1921 has been reinterpreted several times since its modern relaunch in 2008, and the Historiques collection's ongoing willingness to revisit it reflects genuine confidence in the original design's endurance. The new dial colorway, silver with blue numerals gives the watch a slightly cooler, more contemporary read without compromising the period character that defines it.Sticker Price Upon Request.

The Dual Time Cardinal Points traces a direct line from a prototype built for photographer and mountaineer Cory Richards in 2019—tested at 25,000 feet on Everest's northeast face during an attempt on a new route—and the Overseas ‘Everest’ Limited Editions. These four new references expand that singular commission into four production references, each assigned to a cardinal direction and a corresponding dial color. It is a rare instance of a purpose-built field prototype informing a production watch in a meaningful, traceable way, and the lineage shows in every design decision. Things to Know About the WatchThe four dials map to compass points and the landscapes they evoke: white for the frozen North, brown for the plains of the South, green for the forests of the West, and blue for the Eastern horizon where ocean meets sky. Beyond color, the dial architecture rewards examination—a grained center minimizes reflection while the snailed date counter catches the light, and two concentric finishing rings (circular satin on the minutes track, lacquer on the seconds track) add further textural contrast.

The 41 mm case, integrated bracelet, and folding clasp are all titanium, with a matte anthracite grey finish on the bezel, crown, and pusher ring that echoes the Maltese Cross cutaway geometry. Water resistance reaches 150 meters. Three strap options include: a titanium bracelet, orange rubber, and a dial-matched rubber with orange saddle stitching, and all are easily swappable thanks to the interchangeable strap system. The blue, brown, and olive-green rubber straps are textured to resemble canvas.

Two compelling new variants that exemplify why, after nearly three centuries, the Maison remains at the pinnacle of haute horlogerie.The new additions to the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin lineup present a fascinating dialogue between warmth and coolness, tradition and modernity. The 18K 5N pink gold iteration ref. 4300V/220R-H144, with its matching 18K 5N pink gold golden-toned translucent lacquer dial, embodies the sun-kissed confidence of a seasoned traveler. Subtle blue accents on the minute track and leap year months provide the only interruption to an otherwise harmonious tone-on-tone aesthetic, creating a watch that whispers rather than shouts its presence. In striking counterpoint, the 18K white gold variant ref. 4300V/220G-H151 commands attention through its rich burgundy lacquer dial—a bold choice that transforms the clinical precision of perpetual calendar displays into something approaching artistry. The contrast between the cool white gold case and the deep, wine-dark dial creates a visual tension that speaks to the sophisticated collector who appreciates complexity in all its forms. The MovementAt the heart of both timepieces lies the extraordinary Calibre 1120 QP/1, a movement that represents one of watchmaking's most impressive achievements: the ultra-thin perpetual calendar. At just 4.05 mm thick, this mechanical marvel packs the computational power to track our imperfect calendar system through 2100, accounting for leap years and the irregular lengths of months with the precision of a mechanical computer. The movement's 276 components work in harmonious concert, beating at 19,800 vph while maintaining a respectable 40-hour power reserve. Yet numbers alone cannot capture the significance of this achievement. In an 8.1 mm case—remarkably thin for such a complex complication—Vacheron Constantin has created what amounts to a wearable miracle of miniaturization.The compass rose-adorned 22K gold oscillating weight serves as both functional element and philosophical statement. It reminds us that true luxury isn't about destination—it's about the confidence to explore new horizons while carrying the finest expressions of human craftsmanship on your wrist. Interchangeable StrapsPerhaps most compelling is the watch's chameleon-like adaptability. The Overseas collection has always celebrated the spirit of exploration, and these new models embody that philosophy through their innovative quick-change strap system. Without tools, the wearer can transform their timepiece from boardroom elegance to casual sophistication, switching between 18K gold bracelets and complementary rubber straps.The 18K 5N pink gold model is delivered with a second strap in dark blue rubber and a third strap in white rubber; delivered with an 18K 5N pink gold buckle with interchangeable system, compatible with both additional strap.Meanwhile, the 18K white gold model is delivered with a second strap in burgundy rubber and a third strap in white rubber; delivered with an 18K white gold buckle with interchangeable system, compatible with both additional straps. A Heritage of InnovationThe Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin represents more than technical achievement; it embodies Vacheron Constantin's unique position in contemporary watchmaking. Founded in 1755, the Maison has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, yet continues to push boundaries while honoring traditional craftsmanship. The hand-finished movement, visible through the transparent sapphire caseback, reveals Côtes de Genève, straight-graining, and chamfering work that transforms functional components into miniature works of art.In launching these new Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin models, Vacheron Constantin has created more than timepieces—they've crafted instruments of possibility. For the collector who appreciates technical mastery wrapped in refined aesthetics, these watches represent the sweet spot where innovation meets tradition, where complexity serves elegance, and where the measurement of time becomes an art form.At a moment when the watch industry often prioritizes spectacle over substance, Vacheron Constantin reminds us why some achievements transcend trends. These are watches for those who understand that true luxury isn't about making a statement—it's about making a difference in how we experience time itself.Sticker Price Upon Request.

One arrives in 18K 5N pink gold with a monochromatic rose-gold dial, the other in stainless steel with a vivid deep-red face. Both retain the hexagonal Maltese Cross bezel that has defined Overseas since its inception, and both ship with Vacheron's interchangeable strap system, giving owners three distinct looks from a single watch. Things to Know About the WatchesThe 34.5 mm diameter is the headline change, a size calibrated for smaller or feminine wrists without diluting the collection's sporting character. The Maltese Cross bezel and center-link bracelet carry over from the line's larger references, and the absence of diamond-set options here lets the case architecture speak for itself.Dial execution is where these two models differentiate. The 18K pink gold model ref. 4600V/200R-H128 wears a lacquered rose-gold dial with a sunburst satin-finished base and a velvet-textured minutes track, paired with 18K pink gold hour markers and hands lit by blue SuperLumiNova in the dark. The steel model ref. 4600V/200A-H127 goes bolder, with a lacquered deep-red dial finished the same way but set off by 18K white gold markers, also treated with blue SuperLumiNova. The case measures 9.33 mm thick and carries a screwed-down crown, a sapphire display case back, and water resistance to 50 meters. Each watch arrives with three straps and Vacheron's tool-free, self-changing system: the gold model pairs its pink gold bracelet with a white rubber strap and a white alligator strap, while the steel model pairs its matching metal bracelet with a deep red rubber strap and a glossy red alligator strap finished with tone-on-tone stitching.

The movement comprises 144 parts and 24 jewels. Summary & PriceBy trimming the case to 34.5 mm without touching the design language that defines Overseas, Vacheron Constantin has built a pair of references aimed squarely at wrists the larger models never quite suited, while the interchangeable strap system ensures neither watch is locked into a single mood. It is a sports watch that can dress up, dress down, and change color on request, all while keeping the manufacture credentials intact underneath.Sticker Price USD 59,500 for gold, and USD 26,600 for steel.

The Overseas Tourbillon Deep Red ref. 6000V/110T-H036 combines Grade 5 titanium construction with a sunburst satin-brushed deep red dial, marking the first time the collection pairs this particular material with this distinctive color palette. Where previous titanium tourbillon iterations explored skeletal transparency and blue lacquer, this latest expression charts a more assertive course. Things to Know About the Watch The 42.5 mm case demonstrates Vacheron Constantin's continued mastery of titanium finishing, with polished link angles on the integrated bracelet contrasting with vertical satin-brushing. The bezel's Maltese cross-inspired profile receives circular satin-brushing over a sandblasted ring, accentuating the watch's 10.39 mm case height. These refinements prove essential given the material's tendency toward uniformity—titanium demands deliberate surface treatment to achieve visual depth. The integrated titanium bracelet features a triple-blade folding clasp with comfort-adjustment, allowing 4 mm expansion, while two additional straps—deep red rubber and white rubber—accompany the watch with interchangeable Grade 5 titanium clasps that require no tools for strap changes. This interchangeability system, signature to the Overseas collection since its contemporary reimagining, transforms a haute horlogerie tourbillon into a genuinely versatile daily proposition. View fullsize Vacheron Constantin Overseas Deep Red Tourbillon Titanium-7.jpg View fullsize Vacheron Constantin Overseas Deep Red Tourbillon Titanium-8.jpg View fullsize Vacheron Constantin Overseas Deep Red Tourbillon Titanium-9.jpg The MovementBeneath the deep red dial's lacquered flange sits Calibre 2160, an automatic tourbillon movement measuring just 5.65 mm in height. This ultra-thin construction stems from peripheral oscillating weight architecture, where a 22K gold segment mounted to the movement's periphery eliminates thickness while providing unobstructed views of the movement. The 31 mm calibre delivers an 80-hour power reserve via bidirectional winding, with the openworked tourbillon cage employing peripheral drive to eliminate central pinion mass. Circular-grained mainplates, Côtes de Genève bridges, hand-beveled edges, and polished screw chamfers across 188 components demonstrate Hallmark of Geneva certification requirements. On the Wrist & PriceOn the wrist, the Overseas Tourbillon Deep Red wears its 42.5 mm diameter with remarkable ease, the titanium construction ensuring the watch remains substantially lighter than steel equivalents despite housing a complex tourbillon mechanism. The deep red dial reads as sophisticated rather than sporty, offering a stronger presence than the blue predecessor while maintaining the collection's essential elegance. This represents Vacheron Constantin's most compelling titanium tourbillon execution—a watch that successfully balances technical accomplishment with genuine wearability.Sticker Price Upon Request.

And that is the result of the brand staying true to François Constantin's motto: “Do better if possible, and that is always possible.” It is Vacheron Constantin's continued commitment to refining its in-house calibres that means Calibre 3610 QP now delivers a 70-day power reserve instead of 65 days, maintaining the same nomenclature while adding /2 to the calibre mainplate, now referenced as Calibre 3610/2.Inspired by the seasonal system of the Japanese Edo Period, which divided day and night into six segments—the lengths of which varied with the time of day, the season, and the period—the clocks of this period were equipped with a single or double foliot balance, enabling automatic changes in their operating speed. And just like those clocks, the Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar beats at a high frequency when worn and, on demand, can be slowed by pressing a pusher to guarantee an outstanding power reserve of 70 days when the watch is not being worn. A remarkable power reserve, unlike anything previously achieved in a wristwatch perpetual calendar.For this editorial, since we haven’t had access to the new watch—result of this evolution—, we will use some of our live photos of the 2019 model, which show aspects of the watch that remain unchanged, and will allow you to see the differences. The most evident changes include a black technical calfskin with a nylon-like texture and red contrast stitching, and a new power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock with a different scale that shows ‘70’ instead of ‘65’ as in the previous iteration of the watch. Things to Know About the WatchThe Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar is equipped with a 42 mm case in 950 platinum and a fully open-worked aesthetic achieved through a sapphire dial on the lower half. Displaying hours, minutes, date, month, leap year, dual-scale power reserve, and frequency mode on its dial, the watch remains remarkably slim at just 12.3 mm thick—no small achievement given the extraordinary complication and extended power reserve housed within. A color-coded dual-scale power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock—now updated to reflect the evolution of the power reserve to 70 days—indicates the remaining reserve in either frequency mode. While the Twin Beat delivers a power reserve of 4 days while beating at 5 Hz in Active mode, it now delivers an impressive 70-day power reserve while beating at 1.2 Hz in Standby mode—a 5-day improvement over the original 2019 reference achieved through further optimization of Calibre 3610 QP. View fullsize The Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar utilizes a patented mechanical system that allows instantaneous switching between Active mode, where one balance wheel beats at a frequency of 36,000 vph —5 Hz— and Standby mode, where a second balance wheel beats at less than a quarter of that frequency at only 8,640 vph—1.2 Hz. View fullsize By pressing a pusher located on the left case band at 8 o'clock, the wearer can switch the watch between Active and Standby mode. A clever indicator on the dial displays 5Hz and 1.2Hz for whichever mode is active. A supremely useful function for a perpetual calendar, relieving the owner from the meticulous and tedious process of resetting every calendar indication after the watch has run out of power reserve. View fullsize On its split grey and sapphire dial, the new open-worked treatment is meant to be more resolved than the 2019 iteration. The lower sapphire section reveals the movement's mainplate, sandblasted and treated with NAC galvanic coating. The upper portion of the dial is defined by an 18K gold plate—finished in a slate-grey hue and hand-guilloché with a radiating pattern. The hours and minutes are indicated by faceted white gold Dauphine hands. To perfectly achieve this union of tradition and modernity, gold hour markers are set into the sapphire crystal section, which is then laser-engraved and filled with ink for a sleek, seamless appearance. View fullsize To optimize the readability of all displays, the power reserve, day, and month counters have been reworked, with laser-etched glass giving them a more frosted appearance—in comparison to its predecessor, photographed below, we honestly couldn’t find much difference between our photos and the press images—that contrasts beautifully against the movement and the guilloché upper dial. And in keeping with the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle design codes throughout, the Maltese cross logo is printed in white on the sapphire crystal rather than on the dial itself. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize The MovementExclusively developed for the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar is the manual wound in-house Calibre 3610 QP, now labeled as 3610/2. This movement, composed of 480 components, is just 6 mm thick and 32 mm in diameter—an impressive feat of micro-engineering in its own right. The calibre is fitted with two balance wheels, only one of which oscillates at a time. Because of this, the hour and minute hands must draw information from two gear trains for a single reading of time—accomplished via a first-gear differential that ensures a smooth transition between the two trains. A second differential is specifically designed to split energy from the mainspring, channeling it exclusively to the 1.2 Hz gear train and balance wheel. That Standby balance wheel—identifiable by its larger diameter—is fitted with a hairspring of extraordinary delicacy, specially developed for this movement with a minuscule thickness of 0.015mm, far thinner than a human hair. A third differential handles power reserve indication, allowing both reserves to be displayed by a single hand across a single counter with two scales, set at 12 o'clock. View fullsize Among the most significant updates to the 2026 Calibre 3610 QP is a new double-gear spring-winding mechanism for the instantaneously jumping perpetual calendar indications. This patented system requires four times less torque than conventional instant-jump mechanisms, making the date change dramatically less energy-intensive — and it is this optimization, together with refinement of the 1.2 Hz system overall, that accounts for the additional 5 days of power reserve.The smaller balance wheel beats at 36,000 vph, while the larger balance wheel beats at 8,640 vph. The movement plates and bridges are decorated with Côtes de Genève and treated with an NAC galvanic coating—a dark finish that offers superior resistance and durability while lending the movement a distinctly contemporary character when the watch is turned over. The reverse of Calibre 3610 QP presents a striking two-tone contrast between the anthracite grey of the fixed components and the golden yellow of the moving parts, with bridges hand-beveled and the imposing barrel cover given a circular satin finish. The calibre carries the Geneva Seal. View fullsize On the Wrist & PriceOn the wrist, the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar wears true to its 42 mm dimensions—substantial but not oversized, and impeccably balanced. The contemporary aesthetic is complemented by a black technical calfskin strap with a textured finish and a hand-stitched red-thread lining, a more modern choice than the grey alligator of the 2019 reference and one that suits the open-worked dial beautifully. Buckled with a 950 platinum pin buckle, the package is as refined as you would expect.

Zenith's new Chronomaster Original Paris Edition borrows that same architectural discipline, but rather than channeling the city's contemporary geometry the way the 2024 DEFY Skyline Paris Edition did—see below—, this latest tribute reaches back into the Manufacture's own heritage. Limited to 50 pieces and built exclusively for the French market, it reinterprets one of Zenith's most historically important chronographs through a distinctly Parisian lens. Things to Know About the WatchThe Chronomaster Original takes its cues directly from the legendary A386 of 1969, and the proportions here remain faithful to that original: a compact 38 mm stainless steel case, pump-style chronograph pushers, tapered lugs, and a box-shaped sapphire crystal. What sets this edition apart is the dial, a gradient verdigris finish created exclusively for the Paris release. The color references the patinated copper rooftops and domes that define the city's skyline, rendered here as a graduated wash across the dial rather than a flat application, with tone-on-tone counters that keep the chronograph registers legible without disrupting the composition. Hour markers and hands are rhodium-plated, faceted, and coated with SuperLumiNova SLN C1. The dial features a 60-minute counter at 6 o'clock, a 60-second counter at 3 o'clock, running seconds at 9 o'clock, and the date at 4:30.The sapphire case back is engraved with “ÉDITION PARIS” and each watch's individual number within the run of 50. The watch comes on a stainless steel bracelet fitted with Zenith's new ZENCLASP folding clasp, which adds tool-free micro-adjustment in 2.5 mm increments, along with an additional black nubuck strap for a more casual alternative. The MovementThe beating heart inside this watch is the El Primero 3600, the current iteration of Zenith's column-wheel automatic chronograph calibre and one of the few movements from the golden age of Swiss chronograph development still in series production. Beating at 36,000 vph, it delivers a genuine 1/10-second reading via a central chronograph hand that completes a full rotation every 10 seconds. The movement shows its signature blue column wheel and an openworked star-shaped oscillating weight with satin-brushed finishing. Power reserve is rated at 60 hours, and the caliber incorporates a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. Summary & PriceThe Chronomaster Original Paris Edition leans on a genuinely important historical reference rather than reworking it. Pairing the A386's proportions with a color language pulled straight from the Parisian skyline gives this limited run a clearer point of view than most market-exclusive editions manage, and the addition of ZENCLASP to a Chronomaster reference is a notable mechanical upgrade in its own right. It will be available exclusively through Zenith France's e-commerce platform, ahead of its arrival in the Maison's Paris boutiques in September 2026.Sticker Price €11,800—USD 13,500.

Presented at LVMH Watch Week 2026 in Milano, the DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton in rose gold represents a compelling synthesis of skeletonized architecture and high-frequency precision, rendered in a striking contrast of warm precious metal and luminous blue finishing. Things to Know About the WatchThe DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton marks new territory for the collection launched in 2022, bringing the manufacture's most complex regulating organ into an entirely skeletonized configuration. While Zenith introduced another Rose Gold Tourbillon variant with Brick Red Dial to the Skyline line in 2025, this represents the first skeleton execution, eliminating the traditional dial entirely to reveal the movement's architecture as the watch's defining aesthetic. The 41 mm rose gold case—alternately satin-brushed and polished to accentuate its dodecagonal faceting—frames an entirely openworked El Primero 3630 SK calibre finished in intense blue PVD. The result is a timepiece that exists at the intersection of structural transparency and metropolitan elegance, its geometric forms echoing the cantilevers and relief of contemporary architecture. The dial construction itself becomes an exercise in spatial design. Zenith's signature four-pointed star from 1969 is integrated directly onto the skeletonized mainplate, while the brand name floats above the calibre on the sapphire crystal. A peripheral flange anchors the hour markers and deepens the sense of three-dimensional depth. Two architectural bridges, positioned at 10 and 2 o’clock, feature double-tiered, sloping geometry that creates shifting relief across the dial surface, their forms reminiscent of modern structural engineering. The DEFY four-point star is integrated into the tourbillon at 6 o’clock that serves as a seconds indicator. Lastly, Zenith opted to add Super-Luminova to the hour markers and hands for excellent readability in low-light conditions. The MovementThe beating heart powering this watch is the automatic El Primero 3630 SK calibre, beating at 36,000 vph (5 Hz) and delivering 50 hours of power reserve. The one-minute tourbillon at 6 o'clock comprises 56 components, its high-frequency rotation providing both technical performance and visual dynamism. The movement's finishing demonstrates considerable artisanship: blue PVD treatment across the bridges and mainplate is selectively polished to reveal rhodium-plated chamfers that catch light with refined brilliance. The skeletonized barrel offers direct visualization of the mainspring's gradual unwinding throughout the power reserve cycle. Zenith's star-shaped rotor, visible through the sapphire case back, features satin finishing that complements the overall architectural theme. Summary & PriceLimited to 50 pieces, the DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton in rose gold represents Zenith's most sophisticated expression of the collection's urban-inspired design language. The integrated quick strap-change system allows seamless transitions between the rose gold bracelet and the star-patterned blue rubber strap with matching gold folding clasp—a practical consideration for contemporary collectors who value versatility alongside technical complexity.By opening the calibre to its structural core and rendering it in contrasting blue and gold, the manufacture has created a timepiece in which mechanical complexity and architectural presence exist in harmonious balance, in their continued quest for Haute Horlogerie.

Calibre 135 Yellow Gold and Bloodstone Dial (Live Photos) When Zenith introduced the G.F.J. Calibre 135 at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, it marked one of the more consequential acts of horological archaeology in recent memory: the full re-engineering of Calibre 135, the most decorated movement in the history of observatory chronometry trials. That inaugural piece came in platinum with a lapis lazuli dial. For Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, Zenith closes out its 161st year with a second interpretation in an 18K yellow-gold case and a dramatically different dial material, shifting the watch's personality from cool, nocturnal to something warmer and earthier, this time paired with a bloodstone dial. Things to Know About the WatchThe case geometry is unchanged from last year's platinum debut with 39 mm in diameter and just 10.5mm thick, with a stepped bezel and curved lugs drawn from the 1950s dress watch vocabulary. What differs is everything, from material to palette. The yellow gold feels considerably more immediate on the wrist than platinum—warmer, richer, more expressive, and in conversation with a different collecting tradition. The three-part dial retains the brick guilloché chapter ring that references the facade of Zenith's Le Locle manufacture, but the center is now bloodstone, a dark green jasper with characteristic red mineral inclusions, ensuring no two dials are identical. The small-seconds subdial at 6 o'clock remains in mother-of-pearl. The hands and indices are yellow gold, completing a cohesive warmth across the dial. Production is capped at 161 pieces, matching Zenith's age in 2026. Zenith GFJ Calibre 135 Bloodstone Dial-3.jpg Zenith GFJ Calibre 135 Bloodstone Dial-4.jpg Zenith GFJ Calibre 135 Bloodstone Dial-5.jpg The MovementThe G.F.J is powered by and updated version of the iconic manual wound calibre 135. This 157-part movement beating at a frequency 18,000 vph provides a power reserve of 72 hours. This time, the movement is not decorated the same way as in the G.F.J. Platinum 160th-anniversary piece, but with Côtes de Genève.This manual wound movement deliberately beats at a slower rate as it was engineered in the original 1940s calibre to maximize rate stability for observatory competition. The re-engineered version retains this architecture while adding a 72-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, spring-mounted shock jewels, and a Breguet overcoil hairspring. COSC certification is held to ±2 seconds per day. The oversized 14 mm balance wheel and characteristically offset center wheel remain the movement's defining structural statements. On the Wrist & PriceThe Zenith G.F.J. in yellow gold is a convincing argument for the color's return to serious horology. Due to its size and design, it wears as a proper dress watch, slim enough for a shirt cuff and proportioned for most wrists without apology. The bloodstone dial is the real visual event: moody, mineral, and entirely non-repeatable piece to piece. Three straps are included—beige nubuck alligator, green alligator, and black calfskin, all with yellow gold pin buckles—and a matching yellow gold bracelet is available as an additional option.

Exclusive to Exquisite Timepieces. In one of the most captivating collaborations of the year, Arnold & Son has partnered exclusively with Exquisite Timepieces to unveil the Luna Magna Red Gold 5N Turquoise Edition—a stunning, limited-release piece of just five that reimagines celestial watchmaking through the radiant beauty of natural stone.The Luna Magna has established itself as one of Arnold & Son's most distinctive complications since its introduction, featuring a 12 mm three-dimensional moon sphere that rotates in harmony with the lunar cycle. This Turquoise Edition takes that signature complication into entirely new territory, crafting the moon from half turquoise and half Cacholong opal to represent the balance between Earth and sky.Arnold & Son has long been recognized as a pioneer in integrating fine stones and celestial materials—such as meteorite, pietersite, and turquoise—into haute horlogerie. Each natural element, shaped by millennia, becomes a canvas for horological expression. The brand's willingness to push beyond conventional materials has yielded some of the most visually striking timepieces in modern watchmaking."This collaboration embodies both rarity and emotion. The moon and turquoise express two eternal forces—mystery and vitality—brought together in a case of pure gold. We proudly offer our collectors this unique edition that bridges fine art, craftsmanship, and celestial inspiration," says Tim Richardson, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Exquisite Timepieces.The 44 mm case is crafted from 18K 5N red gold, producing a warm and radiant presence on the wrist. The Arizona turquoise dial captures and reflects light in vivid hues of blue, creating a dialogue with the moon sphere below. The hour dial is crafted from white Cacholong opal and treated with SuperLumiNova for enhanced legibility. In contrast, the three-dimensional moon—composed of half turquoise and half Cacholong opal—rotates through its 29.5-day cycle with mesmerizing precision. Turquoise holds deep cultural and spiritual significance, revered by ancient civilizations for its protective and healing properties. Through this limited release, Arnold & Son and Exquisite Timepieces pay tribute to both the stone's heritage and the artistry of haute horlogerie, creating a bridge between the celestial and terrestrial worlds."Arnold & Son has always sought to merge the poetry of the cosmos with the precision of fine watchmaking. In this collaboration with Exquisite Timepieces, the Luna Magna becomes a mechanical achievement and a symbol of creative partnership," says Pascal Béchu, Managing Director of Arnold & Son. The MovementAt the heart of this timepiece beats the A&S1021 calibre, a manual-winding movement entirely developed and manufactured in-house. The movement offers an impressive 90-hour power reserve and features a secondary moon-phase display on the case back for precise astronomical adjustments. The main plate features circular graining, while the bridges are finished with radiating Côtes de Genève and chamfering. Wheels receive a circular satin finish, and screws are blued, chamfered, and polished—finishing touches that reflect Arnold & Son's commitment to traditional haute horlogerie. Summary & Price The watch comes with two strap options: a black alligator leather strap with turquoise stitching and a turquoise alligator lining, as well as an additional turquoise alligator leather strap with black alligator lining. Both feature an 18K 5N red gold folding clasp.Produced in a strictly limited edition of five pieces and available exclusively through Exquisite Timepieces, the Luna Magna Red Gold Turquoise stands as a radiant celebration of craftsmanship, rarity, and partnership—a celestial masterpiece brought to life in gold.Sticker Price USD 53,400.

As I write this from my desk, surrounded by the quiet satisfaction of a morning spent with family rather than deadlines, I'm reminded that watch collecting, at its essence, shares this same quality of intentional reflection.This year brought remarkable moments in haute horlogerie. We witnessed Vacheron Constantin celebrate 270 years of uninterrupted history with launches that challenge the laws of horology, Greubel Forsey continue their relentless pursuit of mechanical innovation with the Nano Foudroyante, literally rewriting physics by measuring energy in nanojoules. We saw Laurent Ferrier demonstrate how independent manufactures can offer bespoke diamond pavé work that rivals—and often surpasses—what conglomerates produce with infinitely larger resources. And throughout it all, we've watched traditional Swiss manufactures navigate an industry increasingly defined by both heritage and disruption. What strikes me most about 2025 isn't any single technical achievement, though there were many. It's how the industry continues to serve those of us who approach watch collecting seriously. Those of us who put our hard-earned money where our mouth is. The watches that resonated most deeply this year weren't the loudest or most hyped—they were the pieces that demonstrated genuine innovation paired with uncompromising execution. Whether it was A. Lange & Söhne's continued refinement of traditional German watchmaking, Vacheron Constantin's sophisticated complications, or the smaller independents pushing boundaries with limited resources but unlimited vision, quality remained paramount. For collectors, Christmas morning carries particular significance. Perhaps you're unwrapping something special today—a grail piece finally acquired, a thoughtful gift from someone who understands your passion, or even your own purchase justified by year-end bonuses and the excuse of holiday celebration. Or perhaps you're simply enjoying the watches you already own, reminded that the best collections aren't built through acquisition alone but through appreciation of what you've gathered over years of careful curation. The watch community itself deserves reflection. Despite market volatility that sent speculators scrambling and flippers reconsidering their strategies, serious collectors continued to do what we've always done—studying, appreciating, and acquiring pieces we genuinely love rather than those we hope to enjoy. The softening of specific segments hasn't diminished horological excellence; if anything, it's refocused attention on what matters: craftsmanship, innovation, and the mechanical artistry that first drew us to this pursuit.As we close out 2025, I'm grateful for this publication's readers—collectors who appreciate nuanced analysis over breathless hype, who understand the difference between a dial and a face, who recognize that a manufacture's actual value lies not in marketing budgets but in what happens inside their ateliers. Your engagement, your questions, and your willingness to dive deep into technical details make this work meaningful. Your respect and appreciation for my calling a spade a spade makes my job worth doing.Whether you're celebrating with family today, enjoying a quiet moment with a favorite timepiece, or planning next year's acquisitions, know that you're part of something special. The horological community remains vibrant precisely because some watch collectors like you refuse to settle for surface-level appreciation.May your holidays be filled with time well spent—both the kind you share with loved ones and the kind you measure on your wrist. Here's to another year of mechanical excellence, thoughtful collecting, and the continuing evolution of watchmaking's highest art.Merry Christmas to all of you!

Audemars Piguet participated in the SIHH-Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie—preceding event to Watches & Wonders—up until 2019. This expansion transforms Watches & Wonders Geneva into a comprehensive week-long experience, seamlessly integrating the traditional Salon with the In The City programming to create an unprecedented celebration of watchmaking excellence. Watches & Wonders 2026 will take place at the Palexpo April 14-20, 2026. Notable New ArrivalsWatches & Wonders Geneva 2026 welcomes an exceptional roster of eleven new participants, bringing the total number of exhibiting brands to 66. The marquee addition is Audemars Piguet, distinguished as the oldest fine watchmaking manufacture to remain under the stewardship of its founding families. Joining AP is L'Epée 1839, Switzerland's sole manufacture dedicated exclusively to luxury clock production and now under the ownership of LVMH Group.The complete list of new exhibitors includes Behrens, Bianchet, B.R.M Chronographes, Charles Girardier, Corum, Credor, Favre Leuba, March LA.B, and Sinn Spezialuhren.

New initiatives include museum openings, afterwork networking events, educational workshops, youth-focused programming, and the highly anticipated Thursday evening celebration.The City and Canton of Geneva provide crucial support for this expanded cultural agenda, while a complimentary shuttle service will facilitate seamless movement between the main Salon and In The City venues, ensuring visitors can fully explore all offerings."The 2026 edition of Watches and Wonders Geneva represents a pivotal moment in our mission to establish Geneva as the world's premier horological destination," explains Matthieu Humair, CEO of the Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation.

The collaboration positions the French-Swiss watchmaker alongside the Defender D7X-R team competing in one of motorsport's most demanding environments, with the first round launching January 3rd in the Saudi Arabian desert.The partnership centers on Bell & Ross equipping the Defender Rally team with the BR-X3 Black Titanium, the manufacture's flagship professional instrument watch. The timepiece is a logical choice for rally-raid conditions, where precision timing is essential and environmental extremes test both mechanical reliability and legibility under stress.The BR-X3 Black Titanium features grade 2 titanium construction throughout its case, providing the strength-to-weight ratio necessary for sustained wear during multi-day rally stages. Bell & Ross paired this material choice with a COSC-certified movement, ensuring chronometric performance meets Swiss standards for precision. According to Carlos Rosillo, Bell & Ross Co-Founder and CEO, the W2RC embodies values central to the brand's identity. "The W2RC is a symbol of boldness, exploration and pushing beyond one's limits—values that lie at the very heart of Bell & Ross' DNA," Rosillo explained. "The BR-X3 Black Titanium, with its iconic 'circle within a square' design, perfectly embodies this philosophy: precision, legibility and robustness in the most extreme conditions."Beyond functional considerations, the partnership reflects an aesthetic alignment between Bell & Ross's design philosophy and the Defender D7X-R's purposeful form. Bruno Belamich, Co-Founder and Creative Director, noted this visual connection: "The functional design of our iconic square watch naturally echoes that of Defender D7X-R. Both express a bold, uncompromising character defined by strong lines and purposeful forms."This collaboration continues Bell & Ross's established presence in high-performance environments. The manufacture has maintained long-standing commitments to aviation, diving, and motorsport partnerships, positioning its timepieces as instruments rather than accessories. The Defender Rally partnership extends this strategy into rally-raid competition, where timing precision directly impacts stage navigation and competitive performance. The World Rally-Raid Championship is motorsport's endurance proving ground, with multi-day stages across varied terrain that demand both vehicle reliability and precise navigation. Drivers competing in these conditions require instruments that maintain functionality despite dust, vibration, temperature extremes, and sustained physical stress—precisely the conditions Bell & Ross designs its professional line to withstand.For collectors interested in tool watches with legitimate professional applications, the BR-X3 Black Titanium's deployment in W2RC competition provides real-world validation of its design specifications. The partnership demonstrates how contemporary watch manufactures continue leveraging extreme-condition partnerships to both test and market their professional instrument lines.For more info on Bell & Ross, click here.

This engineering alliance focuses on developing mechanical timepieces capable of withstanding both terrestrial demands and the extreme conditions of space.VAST was established in 2021 by Jed McCaleb and the company develops next-generation space stations while pioneering sustainable space habitation. Haven-1, anticipated as the world's inaugural commercial space station, is under development with a projected 2026 launch. Set to become the world's first commercial space station, preceded by Haven Demo—an orbital testing platform for essential space station technologies. Haven-1 represents a cutting-edge, human-centered facility featuring an innovation laboratory for private astronauts and government missions alike. The station's crew will conduct scientific research, technology development, and in-space manufacturing through the Haven-1 Lab, advancing both terrestrial applications and long-term space exploration. The partnership unites two organizations driven by scientific innovation. Both VAST and IWC Schaffhausen pursue groundbreaking developments within their industries, making this collaboration a significant advancement in spaceflight-certified timekeeping. As VAST expands humanity's low-Earth orbit capabilities and opens new frontiers for space-based scientific advancement, the company is partnering with IWC to create timepieces that embody exploration and discovery."VAST and IWC Schaffhausen both share a passion for innovation driven by scientific progress. With our mutual passion for bold invention in our respective industries, this collaboration will be a historic milestone in the evolution of spaceflight-ready timepieces. As VAST advances humanity's presence in low-Earth orbit and unlocks a new era of scientific progress in space, we're excited to collaborate with IWC on timepieces that capture this ethos of exploration and discovery," said Max Haot, CEO of Vast."Our collaboration with Vast is a natural evolution of our heritage in aviation, which began almost a century ago. We are excited to continue this journey as Vast's Official Timekeeper and look forward to exploring new frontiers together. This collaboration will enable IWC Schaffhausen to intensify its research and development efforts for watches that are tested for spaceflight. During future, long-duration space missions, a mechanical watch showing Earth time can also be the object that emotionally connects the astronauts to their home," commented Chris Grainger-Herr, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen. Building on IWC's participation in the Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn commercial spaceflight missions, this strategic engineering partnership enables continued innovation in spaceflight-ready timepieces. At VAST's facilities, engineers will subject IWC prototypes to simulated launch vibrations and assess material compatibility with Haven-1. These prototypes undergo testing protocols similar to hardware destined for Haven Demo and Haven-1 missions, demonstrating IWC's authentic aerospace credentials.This collaboration represents VAST's first brand partnership and highlights the commercial potential within low-Earth orbit operations.For more info on IWC click here.

The company's entry, JALSA by Nebula—the luxury watchmaking arm of Titan—represents an extraordinary fusion of Indian artistic heritage and sophisticated mechanical watchmaking through a flying tourbillon timepiece.This groundbreaking creation establishes a new benchmark for Indian horology, demonstrating the country's emergence as what could become a serious contender in the luxury watchmaking arena."JALSA is far more than a watch – it is proof that India can speak the language of high watchmaking with fluency and conviction. From its architecture to its artistic treatment, this is a watch fully designed and mastered in-house. From the start, our intention was to give Indian culture mechanical form. And what better medium than a tourbillon – that most poetic of complications – to express it? Collaborating with Shakir Ali allowed us to anchor JALSA in both memory and mastery." —Mahendra Chauhan, Head of Design- Product & UX- Watches, Wearables and Accessories A Cultural Statement Cast in Rose GoldJALSA transcends traditional timepiece boundaries, embodying Titan's evolution from volume manufacturer to haute horlogerie craftsman. Crafted by Nebula, the 10-piece limited edition in 18K rose gold masterpiece—the press release didn’t include any specifications in terms of case size and other technical specs—seamlessly integrates centuries-old Indian artistic traditions with contemporary mechanical complexity, positioning Indian watchmaking alongside established global players.As one of the world's largest watch producers, Titan manufactures over 15 million timepieces annually, surpassing the entire Swiss industry's output. Now, through its luxury Nebula brand, the company ventures into rarefied territory previously dominated by European manufactures.This ambitious three-year project challenged Titan's artisans to create an international-calibre mechanical tourbillon entirely in-house while celebrating India's rich cultural tapestry. The result stands as both a technical achievement and an artistic triumph. Miniature Masterpiece: Where Art Meets MechanicsEach JALSA dial features an original miniature painting created by Padma Shri recipient Shakir Ali, among India's most celebrated artists in this ancient medium. Using traditional single-hair brushes and natural pigments crafted from gemstones according to secret historical formulas, Ali depicts a royal procession before Jaipur's legendary Hawa Mahal.The Palace of Winds, celebrating its 225th anniversary in 2025, provides the perfect backdrop for this horological homage. Each dial, painted on polished white marble, transforms the timepiece into a wearable museum piece of singular artistic value.Under Mahendra Chauhan's design leadership, JALSA's case construction employs a distinctive three-layer architecture. The 18K rose gold structure incorporates a central band of luminous red agate—a gemstone traditionally associated with protection and power in Indian culture. This material choice extends to the movement bridges, visible through the exhibition caseback, creating visual continuity between exterior and interior elements.Poetic Complications: The Magnifying LensJALSA's most enchanting feature reimagines the traditional date magnifier as a storytelling device. Mounted on the minute hand, a sapphire crystal lens creates a rotating window across the miniature painting, revealing intricate details of the royal procession as time progresses. During specific moments each hour, this magnifier passes over the tourbillon itself, creating a mesmerizing interplay between artistic beauty and mechanical precision. Indian Engineering ExcellenceThe beating heart of JALSA showcases Titan's technical capabilities through an entirely domestically conceived flying tourbillon movement. Developed in collaboration with Swiss consultants to ensure global haute horlogerie standards, the 144-component caliber featuring 14 jewels operates at 3 Hz (21,600 vph) with a substantial 48-hour power reserve. JALSA represents more than Titan's GPHG debut—it signals India's arrival as a formidable presence in luxury watchmaking. By successfully bridging traditional artistry with mechanical sophistication, this remarkable timepiece establishes new possibilities for Indian horology while honoring the nation's extraordinary cultural legacy."With JALSA, we mark a decisive step in Titan's ambition to build a premium segment within our watchmaking portfolio. This piece is a reflection of our vision – to bring India's deep cultural heritage into conversation with the standards of haute horlogerie." —Kalpana Rangamani, Chief Marketing & Sales Officer, Titan Company Ltd – Luxury WatchesSticker Price €45,000—approx USD 52,200.
