Gerald Charles Masterlink Atelier Edition
Gerald Charles introduces a new expression of the Masterlink with a hand-hammered Maillechort dial, crafted facet by facet by a single artisan at the Maison's Geneva atelier. Each dial scatters light across its textured surface rather than reflecting it uniformly, making every piece unique. The edition is limited to 25 pieces in each of three colourways.
The 38mm case retains the Masterlink's distinctive engineering at just 7.99mm thick, with a screw-down crown integrated without adding to its profile. Inside, the self-winding GCA 1000 calibre measures 2.67mm in thickness and offers a 50-hour power reserve, while the integrated bracelet follows the case's asymmetric curve before returning to a more traditional line.
Gerald Genta Geneva Minute Repeater Golden Obsidian
Gerald Genta returns to one of the complications closest to Mr Genta's vision with a new minute repeater defined by the natural character of golden obsidian. Cut from volcanic glass formed through rapid cooling, each dial reveals a dark surface punctuated by shifting golden highlights, ensuring no two pieces are alike. Set within a 40mm 3N yellow-gold case, its walls taper to just 0.6mm at the edge, while the 0.8mm sapphire crystal allows the chimes to travel with greater clarity.
The open caseback reveals the hand-wound GG-002 calibre, developed entirely in-house with gongs individually cut and tuned by ear before being paired with black-polished hammers. Hand-finishing throughout includes Côtes de Genève and hand-bevelled angles, alongside an octagonal inertia wheel inspired by one of Mr Genta's signature forms. The movement delivers an 80-hour power reserve.
Konstantin Chaykin SC02C
Konstantin Chaykin brings its space-tested chronograph to civilian wrists with the SC02C. Developed with Roscosmos since 2018, the timepiece was tested during four spacewalks outside the International Space Station, most recently in May 2026. Its design reflects that purpose, with a red-tipped hour hand aligning with the rotating bezel's 12-hour scale to measure elapsed time at a glance, while the 44mm steel case incorporates antimagnetic protection and is engineered for 10-atmosphere water resistance and high-vacuum conditions.
The chronograph is powered by the Poljot 3133, a movement with a direct connection to Alexei Leonov's first spacewalk in 1965, modified by Chaykin with 60 manufacture-made components and a 45-hour power reserve. The set includes two straps, including an extended version designed to be worn over a spacesuit. Limited to 28 pieces.
Konstantin Chaykin Wolf
Konstantin Chaykin introduces a second character to its East collection with the Wolf, an unlimited edition inspired by the animal's place in East Asian tradition as ancestor, protector and guide. The dial transforms the brand's signature Joker display into a distinctly expressive face, with wavy guilloché following the direction of the fur, sandblasted brow ridges creating depth, and layered pad printing bringing colour to the wolf's eyes.
The watch introduces a new interpretation of the moon-phase display, showing only the two to three days surrounding the full moon as a red disc between white fangs before disappearing once again. Powered by the automatic K.18-28 calibre, based on a modified La Joux-Perret G200 movement, it offers a 68-hour power reserve.
Louis Moinet Stellarium
Louis Moinet commemorates 210 years since its founder created the first chronograph with the Stellarium, a timepiece inspired by his original pursuit of measuring the movement of the stars. Its dial recreates the night sky through a network of longitude and latitude lines that glow blue after dark, set against a deep-blue disc of Muonionalusta meteorite. On the reverse, a hand-painted solar system depicts the precise planetary configuration recorded on the day Louis Moinet's historic breakthrough was confirmed, a moment that can also be set to any date chosen by the owner.
A flying tourbillon with an off-centre cage occupies the lower half of the dial, powered by twin serial barrels that provide a 96-hour power reserve. The case combines a red-gold frame with a blue DLC-coated titanium core, while the edition is limited to 12 pieces.
Louis Moinet Moon Meteor
Louis Moinet brings the night sky to life with the Moon Meteor, a timepiece that reveals a second world after dark. By day, a hand-painted nebula surrounds a domed lunar disc and astronaut appliqué, crossed by meteors including genuine fragments of Mars, a meteorite containing amino acids and a rare enstatite carrying interstellar microdiamonds. As darkness falls, luminescent details reveal a hidden celestial landscape and bring the Moon into full view.
Two further meteorite fragments mark the full and new moon, driven by a 135-tooth gear train that tracks the lunar cycle to within one day every 122 years. Crafted in grade 5 titanium and weighing just 18 grams on the wrist, the timepiece also features a flange cut from Muonionalusta meteorite, formed 4.5 billion years ago. Limited to 12 pieces.
Oris Social Club Edition II
Oris celebrates its global community with the second Oris Social Club Edition, created in recognition of the 62 chapters active worldwide. Based on the Aquis Date Relief 43.5mm, the watch features a frosted silver dial inspired by the individuality of a fingerprint, while the relief minute scale on the steel bezel recalls the original Aquis design.
An olive green NATO strap gives the edition a distinctive finish, while subtle details make it uniquely dedicated to the Social Club with the Oris Bear appearing in the date window on the first of every month, and the caseback carrying an engraving of the Hölstein factory alongside the 'OSC | INT' marking. Water-resistant to 300 metres and powered by an automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve, the edition brings Oris' community spirit into a distinctly personal expression.
Oris ProPilot Bronze
Following last year's ProPilot Date redesign, Oris introduces the ProPilot in bronze, bringing a distinctive material character to its aviation-inspired design. The 41mm case, crown and clasp are all crafted in bronze, paired with a dark green suede strap that complements the metal's natural patina as it evolves over time, giving each watch its own character.
The design retains the fluted bezel inspired by jet-engine turbines, a grippy crown based on an Oris aviation design from 1938, and the LIFT clasp inspired by aircraft seatbelts. Powered by the automatic Calibre 733, the timepiece offers time and date functions, a 41-hour power reserve and 100-metre water resistance.
Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 29mm
Oris brings its signature Big Crown Pointer Date into a new 29mm case, offering the design's distinctive character in a more compact proportion. First introduced in 1938, its fluted bezel, oversized crown and central pointer hand remain defining features, while considered refinements include a tapered crown, harmonised pointer tip and skeletonised hour and minute hands for a lighter expression.
The dial combines a sunburst centre with a grained outer ring, available in black or rose gold and paired with either a leather strap or steel bracelet. Powered by the automatic Swiss Made Calibre 534, the timepiece offers a 42-hour power reserve.
Breitling Navitimer B09 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Miles Davis
Breitling celebrates the centennial of Miles Davis' birth with a tribute to the Navitimer ref. 806 Mk5 worn by the musician throughout the 1960s. Reinterpreting a timepiece that brought a pilot's instrument into the world of personal style, the new edition retains the original's reverse-panda dial, 41mm proportions and era-correct Twin Jet logo, with cream-toned Super-LumiNova adding to its vintage character.
Powered by Breitling's hand-wound Calibre B09, the chronograph combines heritage design with contemporary manufacture expertise. Limited to 500 pieces.
Daniel Roth Extra Plat Rose Gold Gilt
Daniel Roth revisits a rare pre-war dial-making technique for its latest Extra Plat, building layers of black through electroplating before revealing the numerals and inscriptions from the solid gold beneath. Set against the pinstripe guilloché, the effect creates a quiet sense of depth that shifts subtly as the light moves across the dial. The restrained composition is framed by the brand’s signature 5N rose-gold double-ellipse case, measuring just 7.7mm thick.
The hand-wound Calibre DR002 has been developed specifically for the Extra Plat's slim proportions, with hand-bevelled edges visible through the open caseback. Operating at 4Hz and offering a 65-hour power reserve, the timepiece reflects Daniel Roth's continued focus on traditional craftsmanship and restrained mechanical refinement.
De Bethune DB25 Digitale
De Bethune reimagines the digital display with the DB25 Digitale, creating a dial inspired by a nocturnal riverscape. Layered blue finishes evoke moonlight on water, while the jumping-hour display sits beneath a sky of 82 hand-placed stars and a spherical moon crafted from polished palladium and flame-blued steel.
The moon-phase complication tracks the lunar cycle to within one day every 1,112 years. Housed in a 42mm grade 5 titanium case, the timepiece is powered by the third-generation Calibre DB2144V3, which introduces a self-regulating twin barrel and titanium-and-grey-gold balance wheel, visible through the sapphire caseback alongside De Bethune's signature random guilloché.
Chronomètre Ferdinand Berthoud FB 3SPC.4-1
Ferdinand Berthoud introduces its first black ceramised titanium case for the award-winning FB 3SPC collection, pairing the lightweight, scratch-resistant material with a crown guard and black fabric strap. The movement features a cylindrical balance spring with hand-shaped Berthoud terminal curves, a historical technique designed to improve isochronism and precision.
The nickel silver movement showcases eight forms of hand-finishing, including black polishing and satin-finished bridges, while 117 angles are bevelled by hand at a traditional 45-degree angle. COSC-certified and offering a 72-hour power reserve, the chronometer reflects Ferdinand Berthoud’s uncompromising approach to precision, construction and traditional finishing.
Bell & Ross BR-X5 Meteorite
Bell & Ross opens a new chapter for the BR-X5 with a dial crafted from genuine Muonionalusta meteorite. Formed in space some 4.5 billion years ago before reaching Earth around a million years ago, each fragment reveals the distinctive Widmanstätten pattern, a crystalline structure that cannot be replicated. As a result, no two dials are ever alike.
The meteorite is integrated directly into the BR-X5's construction, with no brass base beneath it and the dial feet passing through the raw material itself. Housed in a 41mm stainless-steel case with the collection's distinctive open-worked architecture and four exposed screws, the timepiece is powered by the COSC-certified BR-CAL.323 manufacture movement, offering a 70-hour power reserve. Limited to 250 pieces.
URWERK UR-150 Golden Scorpion
URWERK presents a new interpretation of the UR-150 in yellow gold, bringing a warmer and more precious expression to the brand's distinctly architectural design language. Crafted in satin-finished 2N yellow gold, the sculptural case preserves the technical complexity and striking proportions that define the collection.
At its heart, the UR-150 retains URWERK's signature wandering-hour display, with three hour satellites rotating on a central carousel as the retrograde minute hand sweeps across a 240-degree arc before returning to zero in one hundredth of a second. Powered by the UR-50.01 calibre and regulated by a double turbine system, it offers a 43-hour power reserve. Limited to 25 pieces.
Trilobe Château Trente-Deux
One year after unveiling its first in-house collection, Trilobe introduces Château Trente-Deux, an edition defined by the depth of burgundy. Its matte sunburst dial takes inspiration from the precise hue of a great vintage, while its name pays tribute to the brand's Parisian workshop on Rue Trente-Deux, in the historic Opéra district.
Its 316L stainless-steel case is composed of seven individually finished components, with a fluted bezel contrasting mirror-polished and satin-brushed surfaces. At the centre is the X-Nihilo calibre, developed entirely in-house and delivering a 42-hour power reserve. Trilobe will introduce the Château Trente-Deux through an initial release of 100 pieces before welcoming it into the brand's permanent collection.
Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon Dusk Série Atelier
Laurent Ferrier introduces the Classic Moon Dusk, a new Série Atelier edition that brings yellow gold to the Classic case for the first time. The brand's signature pebble-shaped silhouette frames an opaline dial that graduates from taupe at the centre to deep brown at its edge, while its first moon-phase display features a gold-sheen obsidian disc beneath an anise-yellow plique-à-jour enamel bridge.
Beneath the dial, the hand-wound LF126.02 calibre combines an annual calendar with a precision moon phase requiring just one correction each year. Comprising 266 components and finished entirely by hand in the brand's workshops, the movement is distinguished by details including Côtes de Genève bridges and mirror-polished screw heads. Limited to 20 pieces.
