Late last year, Patek Philippe debuted the Cubitus, the brand's first new collection in 25 years, and the square design had everybody talking. So the question everyone's asking is: how will Patek Philippe follow up on this launch? Will we see the brand release more designs in the Cubitus collection, or will they focus on a completely different part of their catalogue - perhaps Grand Complications or Rare Handcrafts pieces? We don't really know, but if we're completely honest, it's the anticipation that's most exciting.

Watches & Wonders is also an excellent place to see exactly what's trending in watches, thanks to all the year's hottest watches being under the same roof. Based on what's been popular over the last 12 months, we'd expect to see a healthy representation of semi-precious stone dials like malachite and turquoise, a focus on unconventional case shapes, as part of a wider interest in design-driven watches and last, but not least, a continued focus on smaller watch sizes, as part of a broader industry adoption of the 'tiny watch' trend. Now, that's not to say that we're expecting Panerai and Hublot to stop doing what they do best, but we think it's reasonable to expect watches aimed at men offered in cases smaller than 39mm and watches made for women powered by more prestigious calibres.
