Below, we’ve compiled our favorite timepieces from this year’s edition.
JEAGER LE-COULTRE
Reverso One ‘Precious Flowers’
Two new limited-edition models—Green Arums and Purple Arums—bloom into the Reverso One collection. Each watch unites champlevé grand feu enamel, shimmering lacquer accents, and intricately set brilliant-cut diamonds on a pink gold case. The vivid green or purple enameling involves multiple firings at high temperatures, while the diamond setting uses both snow- and grain-setting techniques, creating a breathtaking floral motif that wraps around the case. Powered by the hand-wound Calibre 846 and paired with matching alligator straps, these watches—each limited to 10 pièce—embody the Maison’s expertise in artistry and fine watchmaking.
HERMÈS
Hermès continues to play with its vision of time. In 2025, three highlights illustrate that “time suspended” is more than a mechanical feat; it’s an invitation to pause and revel in the moment.
Arceau Le temps Suspendu
A refreshed interpretation of the 2011 model, now with an open-worked dial to showcase the “Time Suspended” complication driven by the Manufacture Hermès H1837 movement. Housed in a 42 mm white or rose gold case with dial colors ranging from sunburst blue to brun désert and rouge sellier.
PIAGET
Piaget channels its 1960s history of experimental shapes and bold color with the new Sixtie line—a trapezoidal design for the wrist, reinterpreting the Maison’s iconic “play of shapes.” Each model highlights chiselled gold details, a satin-finished dial, and geometric Roman numerals. The collection spans steel, two-tone steel and rose gold, full gold (with or without diamonds), and ornamental turquoise dials. Sleek yet attention-grabbing, Sixtie is a wearable ode to Piaget’s boundary-pushing past.
VACHERON CONSTANTIN
Celebrating its 270th anniversary, Vacheron Constantin unveils multiple new timepieces that underscore its centuries-long heritage and the expertise of its master artisans.
Les Cabinotiers Tribute to the Tour de l’Île
Three singular dials (each a pièce unique) pay homage to Geneva’s historic clocktower. Grand feu enamel, guilloché, and hand-engraving miniaturize the tower’s lithograph in remarkable 33.6 mm spaces. Each 40 mm watch houses the self-winding Calibre 2460, featuring fine Haute Horlogerie finishes and a mesmerizing view of the rotor.
Traditionnelle Openface Series
From a Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date to a Tourbillon Retrograde Date, these limited editions reveal meticulously skeletonized surfaces, peripheral oscillating weights, and retrograde complications. Each brings a new level of transparency and architectural beauty.
Traditionnelle Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar
/div>
Offered in a 42 mm platinum case and limited to 127 pièce, this watch marries a tourbillon regulator with a perpetual calendar. Newly developed Calibre 2162 QP/270 beats at 18,000 vph (2.5 Hz), balancing a long 72-hour reserve with a slim profile and a breathtaking dial showcasing guilloché detailing and a “côte unique” finishing on the bridges.
HUBLOT
Hublot celebrates two decades of its emblematic Big Bang by revisiting key milestones in a suite of new releases. From reimagined 2005 aesthetics to boundary-pushing material tech, the Big Bang’s legacy as the 21st century’s “iconic watch” continues.
Big Bang One Click Joyful & New Ceramic Colors
Hublot introduces fresh 33 mm Big Bang One Click editions that recapture the vivid gemstone hues of past Big Bangs. Five references—each matching the color of the gemstones on the bezel with the same tone of rubber strap—inject everyday wear with a bright, gem-sparkling twist. The brand also debuts two new ceramic tones, Mint Green and Petrol Blue, available across Unico 42 mm and One Click 33 mm lines.
TAG HEUER
Revitalizing its motorsport pedigree, Tag Heuer returns as the Official Timekeeper of Formula 1, unveiling an array of new pièces.
TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph
Powered by solar energy for zero downtime, these nine references (three core, six limited editions) add TH-Polylight to the brand’s innovative repertoire. A refined 38 mm case pays homage to F1 livery colors, combining a next-gen movement with a sleek, track-inspired look.
Carrera Day-Date & Carrera Date Twin-Time
TAG Heuer reimagines the “success watch” with two new TH31-powered lines featuring 80-hour power reserves, refined ergonomics, and quick-change bracelets. The Twin-Time version includes a radiant teal dial referencing vintage racing’s glory days.
Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph | F1®
Tag Heuer unveiled a 10-piece ultra-exclusive edition celebrating the brand’s renewed alliance with Formula 1. White ceramic meets the split-second Calibre TH81-00 to time multiple intervals simultaneously. Bold red accents and track-textured counters pay tribute to iconic F1 aesthetics, making this Monaco the ultimate motorsport statement.
CARTIER
Long regarded as a pioneer of shaped watches, Cartier uses Watches & Wonders 2025 to refresh beloved icons and add new references that reaffirm the Maison’s inventive watchmaking. Drawing on classic silhouettes and gem-setting know-how, each launch preserves CARTIER’s design DNA while offering intriguing perspectives on shape, geometry, and refined simplicity.
Privé Tank à Guichets
Inspired by an innovative 1928 digital display, the revived Privé Tank à Guichets series arrives in platinum and gold variants, with carefully engineered hour and minute apertures. Beneath the pared-down exterior lies a manual-winding caliber that animates the jump-hour display. By focusing on essential geometry Cartier channels the pure lines of its oldest design codes.
Panthère & Tressage
The Panthère collection welcomes new wild stripe motifs, blending black lacquer, orange or yellow spessartite, and diamond accents in an eye-catching interplay. Meanwhile, the Tressage line braids precious metal rods into a bold openwork watch that’s as much high jewelry as a horological object. With an integrated strap and hidden clasp, Tressage exemplifies Cartier’s boundary-pushing approach to ladies’ timepieces.
CHOPARD
At Watches & Wonders, Chopard continues to unite haute horlogerie with a dazzling jewelry sensibility, brilliantly showcased in the L’Heure du Diamant Moonphase. This new timepiece embodies the Maison’s poetic precision. Its aventurine dial mirrors a midnight sky, around it, diamonds trace a refined bezel, underscoring Chopard’s expertise in gem-setting. By merging lyrical aesthetics with meticulous craftsmanship, L’Heure du Diamant Moonphase stands as a luminous testament to the brand’s savoir-faire.
BVLGARI
A recognized master of the ultra-thin, Bvlgari continues its world-record-breaking tradition while also reinterpreting the iconic serpent motif. At Watches & Wonders 2025, the brand underscores a daring spirit that pairs Roman jewelry heritage with boundary-pushing watchmaking feats.
Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon
The 10th world record in Bvlgari’s push for the thinnest watch, this new edition stands at 1.85 mm thick. By skeletonizing components and uniting the main plate with the movement, BVLGARI achieves a hairline silhouette that still supports a tourbillon regulator. The meticulous engineering behind every micron ensures structural integrity, enabling collectors to wear a piece of watchmaking history on the wrist.
VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
Van Cleef & Arpels‘, a Maison defined by romantic symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship, enchants visitors at Watches & Wonders 2025 with automaton novelties and jewel-like timepieces. Known for combining fairy-tale narratives with high watchmaking, each new watch or mechanical object captures love, beauty, and a touch of magic.
Pont des Amoureux & Lady Arpels Bal des Amoureux Automate
Continuing a cherished saga launched in 2010, four new Pont des Amoureux variants—Aube, Matinée, Soirée, and Clair de Lune—blend double-retrograde mechanics with miniature grisaille enamel dials, each with its own pastel or midnight palette. A push of a button summons the couple’s fleeting kiss. In a fresh chapter, the Lady Arpels Bal des Amoureux Automate relocates the lovers to a guinguette scene in motion, driven by a new automaton movement that gracefully aligns their arms as they lean in for a kiss.
IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN
IWC Schaffhausen touches down with expanded Ingenieur and Pilot’s collections. Headlining the Ingenieur line is a 42mm in black ceramic, a nod to the famed Gérald Genta-inspired design now rendered in a tough new material. Meanwhile, the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month in Ceratanium® is as technical as its name suggests—and that hammered-texture dial is quite the conversation starter. Further along, a Big Pilot’s Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton XPL turns heads with a Ceratanium® case and IWC’s SPRIN-g PROTECT® system. If you lean classic, check out the Ingenieur Automatic 40 in 5N gold or the 41mm Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar with Kurt Klaus’s hallmark mechanism. New 35mm models also make an appearance, giving more wrists the chance to rock that beloved look.
ORIS
Oris livens up its venerable Big Crown Pointer Date range with a rainbow of dial colors—warm terracotta, green, yellow, lilac, and blue—plus smaller-case versions (including one set with lab-grown diamonds!). Some references incorporate Oris’s in-house Calibre 403, sporting a small seconds subdial and anti-magnetism, while others house trusty Swiss automatics. A redesigned H-link bracelet and sustainable deer-leather straps complete the package, making it easy to find a comfortable fit that also feels delightfully current. And with a heritage that dates to 1938, this Big Crown Pointer Date refresh puts a modern twist on a watch that started life as a pilot’s faithful cockpit companion.
