Revolution Watch - Celebrating the Machine with a Heartbeat

There was plenty to take in at this year’s @geneva_watch_days. As we revisit the releases, we’re starting with the collaborations and tributes that brought watchmakers, designers and cultural icons into the conversation.

@bvlgari invited @vianney_halter_official to reinterpret the Octo Finissimo, while @atelierwenwatches and @massenalab explored hand-tremblage engraving and Chinese calligraphy with the Inflection Shuò. At @m.a.d.editions, Vincent Calabrese’s Baladin concept found a new expression in the M.A.D.3.

@oris welcomed Gonzo into its Muppets series, and @czapekgeneve continued its work with @lederertimepieces through the Complicité Glacier Blue. @maisonalcee and @mbandf took the collaboration off the wrist with Nostromo, a mechanical clock its owner assembles, while @breitling paid tribute to Miles Davis with a Navitimer inspired by the reference he wore.

Unveiled in the lead-up to and during the fair, these releases offered plenty to discuss about the people, ideas and cultural connections behind the watches. Which one caught your eye?

Across three sessions at @geneva_watch_days 2026, Revolution’s Horological Symposiums brought together watchmakers, executives, journalists and collectors to examine some of the most important questions facing the industry today.

The opening discussion, Watchmakers vs Movement Constructors, considered how traditional watchmaking and movement construction overlap, and whether modern watchmaking is increasingly defined by calibre architecture. Moderated by Constant Kwong (@constant.kw), the panel featured Mathieu Cleguer (@cleguer.mathieu), Bernhard Lederer (@lederertimepieces) and Jack Forster (@jackjforster).

For Beyond Gender — Do Watchmakers Still Need to Design for Women?, moderator Tracey Llewellyn (@tellewellyn) was joined by Jean-Christophe Babin (@jc.babin), Marie Lehnherr, Ash Longet (@ash.longet), Alexandre Beauregard (@alexbeauregard.ch) and Suzanne Wong (@suzannewongxx). The discussion examined the difference between gendering a watch and properly considering women during the design process.

The final symposium, The Great Polarisation — Is There Still Space Between Giants and Independents?, explored the pressures facing mid-sized brands in a market increasingly shaped by global luxury groups and small independents. Moderated by Constant Kwong, the panel brought together Davide Cerrato (@davidecerrato), Naoya Hida (@naoya_hida_co.official) and Roy Davidoff (@roydavidoff).

Thank you to all our moderators, panellists and everyone who joined us at the Geneva Watch Days Pavilion.

Time, told through cubes.

At @geneva_watch_days Geneva Watch Days 2026, @wei_koh_revolution sits down with Matthieu Hegi, Artistic Director of @lafabriquedutemps @louisvuitton La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, to explore the Tambour Taiko Spin Time collection.

Inspired by the old airport flipboards once used to display departure times, Spin Time transforms the reading of hours into a three-dimensional display of rotating cubes.

From opal marquetry and sapphire-set cases to Spin Time Air, Flying Central Tourbillon and Antipode world-time executions, the collection brings together Louis Vuitton’s travel heritage and the watchmaking expertise of La Fabrique du Temps.

@louisvuitton is giving the Tambour Spin Time another turn. Following last year’s six limited-edition Tambour Taiko Spin Time references, the maison has introduced five new executions to its permanent collection, bringing richer colours and materials to the redesigned cases and fully in-house movements unveiled in 2025.

First introduced in 2009 by Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini, the Spin Time complication was inspired by the mechanical departure boards found in airports and railway stations. Twelve rotating cubes transform the jumping-hour display into something three-dimensional, with a central hand indicating the minutes. The Spin Time Air later pushed the concept further by suspending the cubes around the dial so that they appear to float.

The new collection begins with a 39.5mm white-gold model in muted olive green, joined by a rose-gold execution featuring an Australian opal dial centre, baguette-cut blue sapphires and diamond-set indexes. The larger 42.5mm Spin Time Air arrives in blue and white gold, while the Spin Time Air Antipode uses its 12 cubes to display 24 time zones, pairing cities located 12 hours apart and distinguishing day from night through contrasting cube faces.

Completing the collection is the Tambour Spin Time Air Flying Tourbillon, combining a salmon-coloured dial with a platinum case and a central flying tourbillon shaped like Louis Vuitton’s Monogram flower.

All five watches are powered by manufacture movements developed at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton and displayed through sapphire casebacks.

A look back at the third conversation in Revolution’s Horological Symposiums at @geneva_watch_days.

The Great Polarisation — Is There Still Space Between Giants and Independents?brought together a timely discussion on one of the watch industry’s most important questions: as the market pulls toward global groups on one side and independent makers on the other, what happens to the space in between?

Moderated by @constant.kw, the panel featured Davide Cerrato, Naoya Hida and Roy Davidoff, with perspectives spanning brand building, independence, pricing, creativity, collectability and the realities of today’s watch market.

Live from Geneva Watch Days 2026, @constant.kw takes a closer look at the @urwerkgeneve URWERK UR-1001 Amadeus.

A portable timepiece that can be carried as a pocket watch or displayed on a stand, the UR-1001 Amadeus brings URWERK’s wandering-hour language into one of the brand’s most extreme creations.

On the front, it combines a wandering-hour display with indications for the month, date and power reserve. Open the back, and the idea of time stretches across generations, with counters for 100 years and 1,000 years.

The titanium case is hand-engraved by @floriangullert_engraving in a Baroque-inspired style, with around 500 hours of work going into its decoration.

Live from Geneva Watch Days 2026, @constant.kw takes a closer look at the @mingwatches MING 57.05 Comet.

Created to mark MING’s ninth anniversary, the 57.05 Comet is a worldtime watch built around a clever solution to daylight saving time. Cities that observe DST sit on a separate outer bezel, allowing them to be advanced by one hour without disturbing the cities that do not.

A small aperture on the bezel gives a clear visual cue: silver for standard time, red when DST is active.

The dial adds another layer of motion, with MING’s multilayered blue “Comet Tail” construction creating a shifting pattern that changes as the watch moves through the day.

A practical worldtimer, executed with a very MING sense of design.

Live from Geneva Watch Days 2026, @constant.kw takes a closer look at the @fleurymanufacture Jean-Marc Fleury FXR-4 Openwork Chronograph.

Shown here in a new turquoise execution inspired by the Ferrari Amalfi in Verde Costiera, the watch brings a vivid new character to Fleury’s openworked chronograph architecture.

The FXR-4 Openwork features a date and day/night indicator at six o’clock, with the movement left open to reveal the mechanics and finishing beneath.

This prototype is shown in the V1 case, while the production version will be paired with the slimmer and more ergonomic V2 case.

Live from Geneva Watch Days 2026, @constant.kw takes a closer look at the @laurent_ferrier Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon Dusk – Série Atelier.

Limited to 20 pieces, the watch pairs an 18k yellow gold case with a warm golden-brown gradient dial, giving Laurent Ferrier’s annual calendar and moon phase a richer, tone-on-tone expression.

The highlight sits at six o’clock: a moon phase built on brown-grey gold sheen obsidian, engraved with stars and a moon, then painted with luminescent material to come alive in the dark. Above it, translucent plique-à-jour enamel discs indicate the moon phase.

Elegant, poetic and very Laurent Ferrier.

Live from Geneva Watch Days 2026, @constant.kw takes a closer look at the new @kerbedanz_official KERBEDANZ MAXSPOR GR8 41mm Monopusher Chronograph.

A more compact evolution of the original 46mm MAXSPOR GR8, the new 41mm version keeps one of the collection’s most recognisable signatures: the regulating organ brought to the dial side, held by a three-armed star-shaped balance bridge.

Powered by the automatic KRB14-2 calibre, the watch combines hours, minutes and seconds with a monopusher chronograph and 30-minute counter, while the openworked guilloché dial places the balance and hairspring directly within the visual composition.

A technical, architectural take on the sports chronograph, now in a more wearable form.

A look back at the second conversation in Revolution’s Horological Symposiums at @geneva_watch_days.

“Beyond Gender — Do Watchmakers Still Need to Design for Women?” brought together a lively and at times pointed discussion on one of the most debated questions in contemporary watchmaking: as traditional gender categories become less fixed, does it still make sense to create watches specifically for women?

Moderated by @tellewellyn Tracey Llewellyn, the panel featured @jc.babin Jean-Christophe Babin, Marie Lehnherr, @ash.longet Ash Longet, @beauregardwatches @alexbeauregard.ch Alexandre Beauregard and @suzannewongxx Suzanne Wong, with perspectives spanning design, wearability, marketing, aesthetics and the changing expectations of collectors.

Live from Geneva Watch Days 2026, @constant.kw takes a closer look at the latest additions to the @girardperregaux Girard-Perregaux Laureato Fifty family.

Presented here in rose gold and with a blue Grand Feu enamel dial featuring a Clous de Paris pattern, the Laureato Fifty Tourbillon continues the design language of the three-hand Laureato Fifty collection introduced earlier this year.

At 6 o’clock sits a classical tourbillon, powered by the new Calibre 8410, an automatic micro-rotor movement created specifically for this watch.

A refined addition to Girard-Perregaux’s high-watchmaking line-up.
