Geneva Watch Days 2026 begins on September 2, but the final week of August already delivered a packed run of new releases from major maisons, independent watchmakers and collaborative projects.

@speakemarin introduces the five-piece Tourbillon Royal Blue in red gold, while @renaud.tixier completes its Monday Organica trilogy with the platinum Black and rose-gold Bordeaux editions. @vacheronconstantin explores six unexpected artistic crafts through its Métiers d’Art Tribute to the Animal Kingdom concept watches.

Beyond the wrist, @maisonalcee × @mbandf presents Nostromo, a 222-component table-clock kit inspired by Alien, while @urwerkgeneve returns to its pocket-watch-sized UR-1001 with the intricately hand-engraved Amadeus.

Craft takes several forms elsewhere. @anordain introduces an in-house porcelain dial bearing numerals by Kia Tasbihgou; @atelierwenwatches × @massenalab combines tantalum with a hand-tremblage gold dial; and @bellrosswatches cuts the BR-X5’s dial from 4.5-billion-year-old Muonionalusta meteorite.

Sport provides the color for @hublot’s Big Bang Reloaded UEFA Champions League and @iwcwatches’s purple Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 created in tribute to Singapore. @omega, meanwhile, completely revises the Speedmaster 38 across seven references, while @longines expands the Master Collection with its first monopusher chronograph, an updated Chrono Moonphase and new three-hand models.

Finally, @tiffanyandco marks 160 years since its first timing watch with a titanium and platinum Tiffany Timer, while @mingwatches celebrates its ninth anniversary with the 57.05 Comet and its patent-pending approach to adjusting worldtime for daylight saving time.

@geneva_watch_days returns from September 2 to 6, 2026 for its seventh edition, bringing together 71 participating brands across established maisons, independent watchmakers and microbrands.

Created in 2020 following the cancellation of the industry’s major fairs, Geneva Watch Days has since carved out its own place on the calendar through its decentralised format, free public access and emphasis on community.

Ahead of this year’s edition, Revolution spoke with President and Co-founder Jean-Christophe Babin about how the event has evolved beyond the traditional watch fair, its role as an incubator for younger and smaller brands, and the importance of making watchmaking accessible to a new generation.

“We are not competitors; we are a community,” says Babin.

@parmigianifleurier brings back one of the defining models from the early years of the Tonda PF, now with a more glamorous combination of 18K rose gold and Milano blue.

First introduced in 2022, the Tonda PF Skeleton opened up the collection’s refined architecture to reveal the automatic Calibre PF777. For this new 30-piece edition, Milano blue — previously paired with platinum in 2024 — is applied to the sculpted bridges using atomic layer deposition, preserving their contours while allowing the colour to shift from radiant to brooding under different light.

The openworked construction puts its finishing on full display, including sandblasted and vertically satin-brushed surfaces, bevelled edges and mirror-polished chamfers. Rose gold indexes and skeletonized delta hands contrast against the blue, while the gear train, barrels and escapement are rhodium-plated for a darker, stealthier appearance.

Two openworked barrels arranged in series provide the 4Hz Calibre PF777 with a 60-hour power reserve, with the mainsprings visible from both the dial and sapphire caseback. At the rear, a skeletonized 18K rose gold rotor takes centre stage. The 40mm case retains the familiar Tonda PF hallmarks, including its hand-knurled bezel, sculpted lugs and integrated rose gold bracelet, along with 100 metres of water resistance.

Shohei Ohtani has transformed baseball through relentless refinement, and @grandseikoofficial Grand Seiko has done the same for Japanese watchmaking. Their partnership reflects a shared belief that lasting excellence comes through countless small improvements.

Ohtani’s career has always been about more than natural ability. As both hitter and pitcher, he has taken something many thought impossible in the modern game and made it feel methodical, built on repetition, discipline and the pursuit of marginal gains.

Grand Seiko’s story follows a similar rhythm. Rather than chasing noise, the brand has spent decades refining its own language of Japanese watchmaking, from case architecture and dial craft to movements that continue to push precision forward.

There is also a deeper geographic connection. Ohtani was born in Oshu, in Iwate Prefecture, the same prefecture that is home to Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, where the brand’s mechanical watches are made.

That shared sense of place can be seen in the White Birch, the SLGH005, which Grand Seiko presented to Ohtani after his 2021 American League MVP season. It continues today through the updated SLGH031, while the SBGM221 and SLGB003 each reflect different sides of the same idea: restraint, precision and continuous improvement.

This is why the partnership works. Not because Ohtani is famous, but because his story already speaks the same language as Grand Seiko.

@vacheronconstantin explores the animal kingdom through six crafts rarely associated with traditional watchmaking.

Presented under the Maison’s “One of Not Many Crafts Programme,” the Métiers d’Art Tribute to the Animal Kingdom brings six independent artists into the confines of a watch dial. With no more than 4mm separating the dial surface from the sapphire crystal, each artist had to rethink their tools, materials and techniques at an entirely different scale.

Julien Vermeulen’s Feathersnake uses more than 200 fragments cut from seven lophophore feathers; Simone Crestani’s Glassoctopus suspends a 3.5mm-high transparent glass sculpture above a hand-guilloché dial; and Anya Midori’s Oraygami features six manta rays folded from dyed Japanese paper.

Laura Baverstock embroidered the Tigerbroidery using 9K yellow- and white-gold wire; Marianne Guély sculpted the Papercroc from white cotton paper; and Anna Le Corno formed the Woodenwings falcon from 12 different wood species using three marquetry techniques.

All six concept watches are housed in 42mm cases crafted from 18K white or pink gold. They share the self-winding calibre 2460 G4, which displays the hours, minutes, day and date through four apertures around the dial’s perimeter, leaving the centre unobstructed for the artwork. A hand-engraved 22K gold oscillating weight decorated with motifs inspired by artisans’ tools completes each watch.

@renaud.tixier Renaud Tixier has completed the Monday Organica trilogy with two new versions: Monday Organica Black and Monday Organica Bordeaux.

The first Organica, Blue, was launched last year and was entirely spoken for on unveiling. Black and Bordeaux now close the same story, each limited to seven pieces.

The dial is the point. What reads at first as an organic, botanical composition is derived from the curves of three components of calibre RVI2023. It is decorative, but also mechanical in origin.

Black is the darker, more severe expression. Made with Ateliers Olivier Vaucher, its dial combines hand engraving, hand chasing and black grand feu enamel, set in a 950 platinum case.

Bordeaux takes the same motif in a warmer direction, pairing Bordeaux grand feu enamel with a 5N rose-gold case and beige Island calfskin strap.

Inside both is calibre RVI2023, with 274 components, a minimum 60-hour power reserve, titanium bridges and balance cock, a gold-plated platinum micro-rotor and platinum flywheel.

Together, Black and Bordeaux complete the trilogy that began with Blue: blossom, root and fruit.

Created by @maisonalcee and @mbandf for the M.A.D.Gallery’s 15th anniversary, the 50-piece Nostromo mechanical clock arrives as a kit of 222 components. Only the regulating organ comes pre-assembled, leaving its owner to install the remaining gears, wheels and pinions over approximately 10 hours with the help of professional tools, a 250-page illustrated manual and QR-linked videos.

Designed by MB&F creative designer Maximilian Maertens, Nostromo turns Maison Alcée’s Persée architecture onto its side and adds three organic, sculptural feet, a segmented peacock-blue dial and an upward-angled display. Maertens cites H.R. Giger as an inspiration, while the clock takes its name from the commercial space tug at the centre of Ridley Scott’s 1979 film Alien.

Once assembled, Nostromo displays the hours, minutes and seconds, features a switchable hour chime and runs for 14 days. The completed clock measures 160mm wide, 135mm deep and 123mm high, with a weight of 760g.

For 2026, @iwcwatches brings its Mercedes-AMG Petronas Team Chronograph to Singapore with a new purple color treatment.

The Singapore edition Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team Ref. IW388121 builds on IWC’s established team-watch architecture, this time with a purple dial and matching purple rubber strap incorporating IWC’s tool-free EasX-Change system.

Created in collaboration with Mercedes-AMG Petronas and Adidas for the Singapore Grand Prix, the color treatment takes inspiration from Singapore’s Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid, the country’s national flower since 1981. Inside the watch is IWC-manufactured calibre 69385, an automatic chronograph movement built around a traditional column-wheel architecture with 46 hours of power reserve.

@mingwatches marks its ninth anniversary with the 200-piece 57.05 Comet, a 40mm stainless-steel worldtimer introducing a patent-pending system for accounting for daylight saving time.

Cities unaffected by DST remain fixed on the inner bezel, while those that observe it are positioned on a separate outer bezel. Turning this bezel by one 15-degree click advances only the relevant cities by an hour against the 24-hour scale. A DST ON aperture displays silver for standard time and red when DST is active.

The multilayered blue “Comet Tail” dial uses overlapping raster structures to create an interference pattern that shifts in appearance throughout the day. Its luminous display distinguishes daytime hours in blue from nighttime hours in orange, while the primary indices emit white and the DST indicator glows red.

Measuring 40mm across and 10.33mm thick, the steel case features Ming’s triple-stepped lug architecture and offers 100 metres of water resistance. Inside is the automatic Sellita for Ming calibre 330.M2, delivering approximately 50 hours of power reserve. ...
