@girardperregaux gives the Laureato Chronograph 42 mm a warmer, more unexpected expression with a two-tone construction in 904L steel and rose gold. Revisiting a theme closely associated with the 1970s, the new interpretation contrasts the Laureato’s tonneau-shaped steel case with rose gold accents across the octagonal bezel, crown and chronograph pushers, bringing a more nuanced play of sportiness and refinement to the collection.

The brown Clou de Paris dial complements the warmth of the rose gold, while the matching brown rubber strap — also adorned with a Clou de Paris hobnail pattern — gives the watch a more contemporary, ergonomic feel on the wrist. Measuring 42 mm in diameter and 12.16 mm thick, the Laureato Chronograph 42 mm is designed with everyday comfort in mind, while retaining the architectural language that has defined the Laureato since its debut in 1975.

Inside is the self-winding Manufacture GP03300 chronograph calibre, offering hours, minutes, small seconds, date and chronograph functions, with a minimum 46-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the movement is finished with details including circular graining, Côtes de Genève, bevelling, mirror polishing, satin brushing, engraving, sunburst finishing and snailing. ...

There is no shortage of high-quality time-only watches in the present market, many of which seize every opportunity to dazzle the eye. But there is something to be said about those that do not arise from a desire to impress, but instead from the simple pursuit of excellence and mastery of the work itself. Such is the case with the latest release from Canadian watchmaker @bradleytaylor.ca Bradley Taylor, the Ardea.

The watch is limited to 50 pieces in total, offered in either steel or platinum and measures 37.8mm x 10.9mm. It is stunning both inside and out, pairing a handmade silver dial with a finely decorated movement featuring a 60-second retrograde seconds display, developed in-house over the course of four years.

The multi-part dial features an engine-turned border and seconds sector, while the silvery white finish is achieved in an equally traditional manner through depletion gilding. The Breguet numerals, on the other hand, are in solid platinum and finished with a rounded bombé polish. The Calibre 475RS is based on the architecture of the famed Omega 30T2, though virtually every part was manufactured from scratch by Taylor himself in his North Vancouver workshop, including the mainplate, bridges, train wheels, and free-sprung balance. All parts are finished to a standard that hardly needs pointing out.

@tagheuer expands the Formula 1 38mm Solargraph collection with five new pastel-coloured models, bringing a softer, more playful expression to one of the brand’s most recognisable sports watch lines. The collection includes three TH-Polylight models in pastel blue, beige and pastel pink, each fitted with a matching rubber strap, colour-matched bidirectional bezel, opalin dial, date window at 3 o’clock and 100 metres of water resistance.

Two additional versions offer a more refined take on the pastel theme, pairing sandblasted steel cases and three-row steel bracelets with diamond-set indexes. These arrive in pastel green and lavender-blue, the latter combining a pastel blue dial with a pastel pink flange and central seconds hand.

All five models are powered by the Calibre TH50-00 Solargraph movement, which charges through natural or artificial light. Two minutes of direct sunlight is enough to power the watch for a full day, while a full charge provides up to 10 months of autonomy in total darkness.

The 2026 Met Gala red carpet was not short on statement dressing, and that extended to the watches on the wrist.

Rami Malek leaned into @cartier`s most surreal silhouette with a platinum Crash, while Paul Anthony Kelly paired his look with the architectural refinement of a @vacheronconstantin Overseas Tourbillon. Serena Williams brought the @audemarspiguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar into the evening, and Luke Evans turned to @Hublot with a diamond-set Big Bang Unico High Jewelry 44mm.
Elsewhere, Joe Alwyn completed his Valentino look with a Hublot on the wrist, while Al Sharpton opted for a gold-dial @rolex Day-Date.

Dwayne Johnson went full maximalism with the @jacobandco
Billionaire III, while Tyriq Withers and Finn Wolfhard both opted for the @jaegerlecoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds "Or Deco Cocktail" in white gold - a fittingly Art Deco note for fashion`s biggest night.

At the 2026 Met Gala, @omega built its presence around a conversation between past and present — placing 1982 Constellation “Manhattan” watches alongside the new Constellation Observatory models.

It was a fitting move for an evening themed around “Fashion is Art”, where archives are no longer just historical references, but active parts of the story. In fashion, vintage has long carried cultural weight on the Met steps. Omega applied the same logic to watchmaking, treating the red carpet less like a shop window and more like a curated gallery.

Nicole Kidman wore a diamond-set 1982 Constellation “Manhattan” in white and yellow gold, while Colman Domingo opted for the Manhattan Grand in steel and yellow gold with a black dial. Mondo Duplantis continued the vintage thread with a gold-toned 1982 “Manhattan”, as Desiré Inglander brought the collection closer to the present with a contemporary steel Constellation featuring a mother-of-pearl dial, diamond bezel and Omega’s signature claws.

The new Constellation Observatory models then completed the arc. Tom Francis wore the Canopus Gold version, Dónal Finn chose the steel model with a deep green dial, and Connor Storrie went for Moonshine Gold on bracelet. Together, the watches traced 44 years of evolution — from the integrated-bracelet “Manhattan” of 1982 to Omega’s latest Observatory expression in 2026.

Music remains at the heart of @mbandf’s M.A.D.Editions universe with the new M.A.D.2 Live, an event-exclusive edition that continues the collection’s tribute to vinyl records, DJ turntables and long nights behind the decks.

Exclusively available through M.A.D.Editions events throughout 2026, the M.A.D.2 Live begins its world tour in San Francisco this May before travelling across 13 cities over the course of the year. For each stop, only a limited number of pieces will be made available via mini-raffle, with visitors invited to scan a QR code at the booth to enter.

Visually, the M.A.D.2 Live stands apart with a silver dial plate, electric blue winding rotor and matching hour and minute discs, paired with a crisp white rubber strap. Each clasp is engraved with the city code of its corresponding event, giving every piece a subtle link to its place on the tour.

The design itself continues the M.A.D.2’s playful tribute to music culture. Its raised central subdials evoke the turntables of a DJ mixing console, while the central dial recalls the grooves of a vinyl record. Around it sits a stroboscopic platter inspired by the Technics SL-1200, which doubles as the automatic winding rotor and is visible from both the front and the back. Beneath the playful surface is a more surprising bit of watchmaking: a bi-directional jumping hour display with trailing minutes.

Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case, the M.A.D.2 Live is powered by a Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 base calibre fitted with an MB&F-developed jumping hour and trailing minutes module, with a 64-hour power reserve. ...

For the 2026 season, @tudorwatch returns to the track with the new Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 26”, a lightweight chronograph that continues the brand’s long-standing connection to motorsport.

Following last year’s “Carbon 25”, this new edition takes its cues from the 2026 Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One car, the VCARB 03. Its 42mm case, fixed tachymeter bezel and even the end-links are rendered in carbon fibre, underscoring the watch’s racing-minded focus on weight reduction, while yellow accents on the dial echo details from the team’s latest livery.

The domed racing white dial is paired with carbon fibre sub-counters and a date display at six o’clock, while Tudor’s signature snowflake hands retain the Black Bay line’s familiar identity. Inside is the Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813, a COSC-certified automatic movement with a column wheel, vertical clutch, silicon balance spring and 70-hour power reserve.

Limited to 2,026 individually numbered pieces, the Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 26” carries Tudor’s racing story into a new season, with Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad wearing the watch as the brand continues its journey in motorsport. ...

@mattleave Matthew De Jesus, News Editor, found his first Watches and Wonders experience overwhelming in the best possible way. After the first wave of launches, press releases and wrist shots, these were the five watches that stayed with him — each saying something interesting about where its brand is heading.

Among his most memorable releases was the @tudor Monarch, an unexpected move into more formal territory with its faceted case and bracelet, small seconds and papyrus-toned California-style dial. The @grandseiko_official “Mystic Waterfall” Platinum Spring Drive also stood out, bringing texture, light and rhythm to its platinum case and dial through a hand-engraved flowing-water motif. From @vacheronconstantin, the Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points gave the familiar travel watch a poetic new expression, with a titanium case and four dial colours tied to North, South, East and West.

@iwcwatches’s Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Ceralume transformed one of the brand’s signature complications with a luminous ceramic case, white dial and glowing rubber strap — big, strange and seriously cool. Finally, the @panerai Luminor 31 Giorni brought the idea of endurance back into focus, pairing the brand’s unmistakable design language with the P.2031/S calibre and a chronometrically stable 31-day power reserve.

@revoio Israel Ortega, Editor-in-Chief of Revolution Mexico/Latin America looked beyond the usual suspects at Watches and Wonders 2026, turning instead to watches that revealed the breadth, intelligence and expressive richness of contemporary watchmaking.

Among his highlights was @cartier’s Myst de Cartier, a piece that places timekeeping firmly in the background and lets jewellery craft take centre stage, transforming the watch into a sculptural object of precious metal, lacquer and diamonds. From @laurent_ferrier came the Sport Traveller, a compelling study in restraint and usability that integrates a second time zone and date within a clean Grade 5 titanium case, powered by the LF275.01 micro-rotor movement. Also on his list was @vacheronconstantin’s Overseas Self-Winding Ultra-Thin in platinum, whose 39.5mm case, platinum bracelet, salmon dial and new Calibre 2550 give the line a warmer, more nuanced presence.

Israel also singled out @hermes’ H08 Squelette, which opens a new chapter for the line through an airy, graphic skeletonised architecture paired with a Bleu Zanzibar rubber strap and an effortlessly contemporary attitude. Completing his picks is the @arminstrom Minute Repeater Resonance 12:59 First Edition, a true mechanical showstopper that combines resonance and a minute repeater within the open ARR25 calibre, bringing together twin oscillators, four hammers and four gongs in one striking technical landscape.

@de_bethune returns to the sea with the new DB28xs Sea Tourbillon, a watch that channels the shifting blue tones and quiet depth of the ocean through one of the brand’s most poetic executions yet.

The 38.7mm case is crafted in mirror-polished grade 5 titanium and kept to an impressively slim 8mm profile, while De Bethune’s patented floating lugs help ensure comfort on the wrist. On the dial side, blued titanium, microlight decoration and random guilloché bring a sense of movement and shimmer, evoking the changing surface of the sea while revealing the architecture beneath.

Powering the watch is the hand-wound DB2009V7 calibre, equipped with a self-regulating twin barrel delivering a five-day power reserve. At 6 o’clock sits De Bethune’s ultra-light 30-second titanium tourbillon, weighing just 0.18g and beating at a high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour. ...
