Wondering how it all started? Read our report from 2020 here.

Keep up with us as we update this list live during the course of Geneva Watch Days 2024. 

Bvlgari: Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon & Grande Sonnerie, Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Carbon, Bvlgari Aluminum GMT with Fender, Serpenti Pallini High Jewellery

Bvlgari unveils a horological symphony with its latest additions to the Octo Roma collection, featuring chiming timepieces that challenge conventional soundscapes. Collaborating with conductor Lorenzo Viotti, Bvlgari introduces the tritone harmonic interval (or as the music realm likes to call the “Devil’s Interval”) into its new Octo Roma Grande Sonnerie Tourbillon and Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon watches.

This disruptive tonal quality adds a unique aural dimension to the meticulously crafted timepieces, which chime on two, three, or four gongs. The Grande Sonnerie’s BVV 800 calibre chimes the hours and quarters automatically, while the Carillon’s BVL428 calibre strikes the quarters on three notes.

The Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater has been reissued as the world’s thinnest chiming watch, this time in full carbon. Save for the polished titanium crown and a titanium push button, the black marbled uniform runs from the carbon case down to the carbon bracelet. The carbon dial is ingeniously designed with openings that form the hour markers, while the white seconds indexes and satin-polished rhodium-finish brass hands add a subtle yet striking contrast. Within the ultra-thin 6.85 mm carbon case is the BVL362 manufacture movement that offers a 42-hour power reserve. We explore the trio of chiming watches in greater detail here.

The maison has also issued a 1,200-piece BVLGARI Aluminium GMT x Fender® Limited Edition with a design that echoes the iconic 1954 Fender Stratocaster with its sunburst finish and creamy white hues. To mark this collaboration, 140 exclusive anniversary sets will be released, alongside 70 custom guitars handcrafted by Fender’s renowned Custom Shop. 

And last but certainly not least, Bvlgari presents the Serpenti Pallini introduces three new jewelled designs, marking the first contemporary interpretation of Serpenti Pallini in yellow gold. Drawing from the heritage of the first Pallini bracelet created in 1955, the new Serpenti Pallini collection is equipped with the Piccolissimo caliber, one of the world’s smallest round mechanical movements. Each piece embodies over 500 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, with gold beads or diamonds set on a gold mesh using a technique derived from the 18th-century ‘en tremblant’ method, where each bead moves freely and shimmer with every gesture.

Breitling: Caliber B19 for Premier, Navitimer, and Chronomat 140th Anniversary models

Breitling celebrates its 140th anniversary with the release of three limited-edition models — Premier, Navitimer, and Chronomat — each showcasing the brand’s new Caliber B19. This new movement marks Breitling’s debut into perpetual calendar chronographs, boasting an impressive 96-hour power reserve and the ability to run accurately for nearly a century without major adjustments. 

The Premier B19 Datora 42 140th Anniversary is a nod to the original Premier launched in 1943. It was a time when the Premier redefined the chronograph, transitioning it from a cockpit instrument to functionality for the wrist. This anniversary edition, crafted in solid 18k red gold, upholds the Premier’s distinguished design elements, including its signature Arabic numerals, contrasting minutes scale, and iconic square pushers.

The Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar 140th Anniversary edition celebrates Breitling’s legacy of aviation excellence and horological innovation. Originally launched in 1952 for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the Navitimer quickly transcended its pilot watch roots, capturing the imagination of celebrities and astronauts alike. Notably, it became the first Swiss wristwatch in space in 1962. For its 140th anniversary, Breitling introduces this special edition, which features the iconic circular slide rule in black, paired with a striking 18k red-gold dial. 

The Super Chronomat B19 44 Perpetual Calendar 140th Anniversary edition is a striking tribute to the brand’s iconic Chronomat, which debuted in 1983 as the official watch of Italy’s Frecce Tricolori aerobatics team. This anniversary edition maintains the signature design elements that have defined the Chronomat, including the distinctive four raised rider tabs at the 15-minute intervals, an “onion” crown, and the recognizable Rouleaux bracelet, now reimagined in rubber. A notable innovation in this edition is the introduction of a skeletonized dial — a first for Breitling. 

Frederique Constant: Classic Tourbillon Manufacture, Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture, Classics Carrée Small Seconds

Frederique Constant’s summer novelties are all about looking pretty. The first of which is a new Classic Tourbillon Manufacture with an aventurine glass dial. A large cut-out at 6 o’clock reveals the tourbillon, with the bridge engraved in gold letters to mark the limited series number. Limited to just 36 pieces, the 39mm white gold case houses the self-winding FC-980-4 caliber. Collectors can expect delivery of this exquisite timepiece starting in November 2024.

A malachite dial takes residence in a limited-edition update of its Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture watch. The natural straight-grain pattern is unique in each sliver of malachite, livening up the canvas. The date and moonphase share a sub-dial at 6 o’clock, while redesigned hour markers and alpha-shaped hands complement the dial’s aesthetic.

Limited to just 36 pieces, this refined version marks the most significant revamp since the model’s inception. The 40mm white gold case houses the new FC-716 calibre movement that has been reworked to fit the new barrel, enhancing the power reserve up to 72 hours, almost double the previous model’s. 

Moving away from the conventional round shape are three new references in the Classics Carrée Small Seconds models. The collection features a quartz movement with a 25-month battery life. Framed within the 36mm × 25.2mm rectangular case is a silver-finish dial with large Roman numerals and a small, off-center seconds hand at 6 o’clock. There are three distinct versions: a diamond-set model with 158 diamonds (1.185 carats) and a silver opaline dial on a calfskin strap; an all-steel version on a bracelet; and a classic steel case with a calfskin strap.

Girard-Perregaux: Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges

In 2024, Girard-Perregaux revisits the iconic Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges that was first released in 2021. Drawing design cues from the 1889 pocket watch’s unique movement — namely the three flying bridges that not only support the geartrain, barrel, and tourbillon but also provide the structural integrity of the entire movement thus creating an ethereal floating effect — the new model introduces subtle yet significant enhancements. Notable updates include newly designed indexes with twin batons at noon, more curved and symmetrical sapphire crystals, and a larger, rounder crown for improved manipulation. The watch’s overall design has been refined with smoother contours, shorter lugs, and a rounder case middle, enhancing wearer comfort, especially for those with slimmer wrists.

Further refinements include satin-finished hour and minute hands with additional Super-LumiNova for better readability in low light. The timepiece is offered with two straps: a fabric effect strap and a black alligator strap with a gold effect. The Flying Bridges retains its signature three gold bridges, now dressed in black PVD with chamfered edges revealing gleaming pink gold.

Girard-Perregaux’s first Esmeralda “A Secret” Eternity Edition was introduced as a pièce unique in 2018 (which in turn was inspired by Constant Girard’s 1889 pocket watch of the same name), then thereafter became an annual series from 2021. This year, the watch is released in a new interpretation christened La Esmeralda Tourbillon ‘A Secret’ Eternity Edition Honey.

The 43mm pink gold case features the iconic Three Gold Bridges and a honey-colored Grand Feu enamel dial. This limited edition of 18 pieces displays a case and lugs dressed in honey-toned Grand Feu enamel, with the rear engraved with a fluted pattern and the signature three galloping horses. The decorative piece displays main hours and tourbillon via the automatic-winding Manufacture caliber GP09600.

H. Moser & Cie × Studio Underd0g: Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit and 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit

It’s double the fun with H. Moser & Cie. and Studio Underd0g who have jointly released their own interpretation of passion fruit-inspired watches. Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit takes on a stunning purple lacquered sunburst dial paired with a Maracuja “Grand Feu” enamel dial. The minimalistic presentation of time, date, power reserve and month are all set against an 18K yellow gold base with a hammered texture.

On the other hand, Studio Underd0g’s 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit boldly defies traditional norms. This vibrant piece shows off a Coarse Dégradé Amber and Royal Purple multilayer dial. It’s powered by a Swiss cam-operated mono-pusher chronograph movement — a first in their lineup. We take a closer look at the watches here.

Bianchet: B 1.618 Grande Date Sapphire

Bianchet presents the B 1.618 Grande Date in a full sapphire crystal case fit on an integrated vulcanized rubber strap in white.

The transparent caseback shows off a hand-wound titanium flying tourbillon movement with big date displayed below the 12 o’clock mark. The watch is limited to 21 pieces and priced at CHF 85,500 (excl. taxes). 

Corum: Golden Bridge “Serpent”

Corum introduces a pièce unique Golden Bridge “Serpent” that spotlights the iconic central bridge movement. Encased in a 5N rose gold tonneau-shaped case, the Golden Bridge CO 113 movement is accompanied by a hand-painted micro-sculpture of an 18K gold serpent, surrounded by a lush jungle of leaves and vines. This work of art reportedly took nearly 100 hours of detailed craftsmanship.

The movement itself comprises over 190 components and offers up to 40 hours of power reserve.

Czapek & Cie: Antarctique Polar Sky & Flying Diamonds

Czapek & Cie unveils a dazzling evolution of its Antarctique collection with two new limited-edition models: Antarctique Polar Sky and Antarctique S Polar Sky models models feature stunning dials in aventurine glass. Available in 40.5mm and 38.5mm, the aventurine glass alone takes on the beauty of the dial, but for those looking for more bejeweled flair, the Antarctique Flying Diamonds and Antarctique S Flying Diamonds feature diamond-set indexes and optional diamond-encrusted cases and bracelets.

The Antarctique’s innovative Antarctique cut diamonds, featuring 24 facets, enhance the light-play and luxury of the dials. The watches are limited to 99, 77, 8, and 18 pieces and will be available for pre-order starting Q4 2025.

Doxa: SUB 300T Aristera, SUB models in Sea Emerald

Destro watches are not dead. The SUB 300T Professional Aristera from Doxa is now designed with a ‘lefty’ configuration. This new model features a crown positioned on the left side of the case, which required rotating movement 180 degrees.

The SUB 300T is a Doxa classic, renowned for its vibrant orange dial and superior underwater legibility. The watch boasts a 42.50 mm 316L stainless steel case, water resistance up to 1,200 meters, and a Swiss automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. The SUB 300T Aristera includes both a stainless steel ‘beads of rice’ bracelet and a NATO-style strap. Limited to 300 pieces, this model will be available for pre-order in October.

What began as an initial ‘Sea Emerald‘ color debut for the SUB 200T at Geneva Watch Week in March has now taken over five key SUB collections: SUB 200, SUB 300T, SUB 300, SUB 600T, and SUB 300 Carbon.

This new shade is complemented by the signature sunburst finish on the dial. Select models, such as the SUB 300T and SUB 300, feature subtle gold accents in accompaniment. The new colored models are now available on Doxa’s e-commerce platform and at retail locations worldwide from November 2024.

Jacob & Co.: Oil Pump

It’s been five years since Jacob & Co.’s release of the Oil Pump watch — you know the one, with that fascinating automaton depicting a pair of oil derricks at work? Today, Jacon & Co. unveils an advanced new edition. It retains the mesmerizing 35-second bobbing motion of the derricks but it’s all happening within a more compact case. We’re speaking of a reduction from 49.5 mm to 44 mm in diameter and from 20 mm to 18 mm in height.

The domed sapphire crystal houses the hand-wound caliber JCAM53 that’s assembled from 450 components, features a 60-second flying tourbillon; the automaton, featuring  solid rose gold derricks, barrels, and pipelines, is activated by a pusher at 1:30 o’clock. The watch is limited to 88 pieces.

MB&F: M.A.D.1S

MB&F has introduced a new iteration of its popular M.A.D.1 model: the M.A.D.1S. The “S” in M.A.D.1S represents a slimmer case, now just 15mm thick, housing a single-cylinder display and a newly incorporated Swiss movement, the La Joux-Perret G101.

The streamlined design features slimmer lugs and a reimagined winding rotor. The 42mm diameter of the case remains, but the reduction in thickness results in the absence of a dedicated minute scale, with time now read across the hour cylinder display. We have the full details here, which includes what the new raffle system entails.

Micromilspec: Milgraph

Micromilspec debuts the Milgraph, their first timepiece to combine GMT and chronograph functions. The Milgraph was, essentially, a military-issued watch contracted by Special Operations Forces, and thus has been recreated in a civilian-issue version. It features a left-hand chronograph with a swapped crown position and a new QuadGrip bezel with deep indents for easy operation.

The watch operates on the La Joux Perret L121 movement that offers up to 60 hours of power reserve. The dial design includes an orange-tipped GMT hand with an additional minutes scale on the rotating bezel. The watch is water-resistant up to 100m and is produced in a limited annual run of 50 pieces. 

Oris: Divers Sixty-Five Ligue de Football Professionnel Limited Edition

Oris has been appointed the Official Timekeeper for Ligue 1 McDonald’s and Ligue 2 BKT in partnership with France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP). Together with LFP and France’s National Convention of Child Protection Associations (CNAPE), Oris has launched the LFP Limited Edition watch. This special timepiece, based on the Oris Divers Sixty-Five, celebrates the “Les Défenseurs de l’Enfance” football tournament, which benefits children and CNAPE-supported charities.

The watch features child-inspired script, a blue dial representing the UN’s 17th goal, and a stainless steel case back adorned with the tournament’s logo. Since becoming an Oris Sustainability Partner in 2022, the collaboration has focused on more than just branding, aligning with the LFP’s robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Every LFP club contributes to over 2,000 operations supporting 2,500 organizations, reflecting a commitment to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Armin Strom: Dual Time GMT Resonance First Edition

Armin Strom’s latest release, the Dual Time Resonance 39mm, showcases the brand’s expertise in resonance technology while marking a significant shift in design. The new model features a 39mm round case, a substantial reduction from its predecessor’s larger oblong form, which measured 59mm by 43.4mm. This achievement is made possible by the vertical arrangement of the two independent movements within the case, along with the meticulous refinement of their components to conserve space.

Here, we explore the Dual Time’s new symmetry and how the architecture has been reworked to accommodate a double-balance construction.

Arnold & Son: Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold in blue aventurine and cliff gray dials

The Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold by Arnold & Son introduces two limited-edition dials: 88 pieces of blue aventurine glass and 28 pieces of sunray-brushed grey. 

The blue aventurine dial, speckled with metallic particles, mirrors a starry night sky, while the “cliff grey” dial shifts subtly with a moiré effect beneath a matte midnight blue sky. Both editions boast a large, luminescent mother-of-pearl moon phase, framed by the constellations of Cassiopeia and Ursa Major. This moon phase, powered by the A&S1612 calibre, maintains an accuracy of 122 years.

Behrens: Batman Tourbillon “The Dark Knight”

It’s been 85 years since the world got introduced to the superhero Batman, so Behrens partnered up with Warner Brothers to create a limited-edition timepiece, aptly named “The Dark Knight”. This 38mm manual-wind wristwatch runs on the in-house developed skeletonized tourbillon movement, the Cal.BM05. The Dark Knight’s tourbillon mechanism features a luminous Batman logo that completes a full rotation every 60 seconds. The watch also boasts a power reserve indicator at 1:30, a black-and-white globe-style Day/Night indicator at 9:30, and a date window at 6:00.

Limited to just 200 pieces, the watch comes with two sets of rubber straps — one in black and one in orange, both featuring the Batman logo — with a quick-change mechanism for versatility. 

Claude Meylan: Ondine

Claude Meylan lends a jewelry-forward to the new Ondine, a 1970s-style bracelet piece that’s designed with a series of circles. Each bracelet “link”, in rose gold-plated silver, is fitted with a mother-of-pearl disc. The main case body at 35mm exposes a manual-wind open-worked movement offering a 42-hour power reserve. It’s framed by a white lacquered inner bezel with 12 Roman numerals.

Cvstos: Sealiner PS Blue Sapphire

Cvstos introduces the Sealiner PS Blue Sapphire, a watch inspired by, as so named,  nautical design. Limited to just 25 pieces, the case is crafted from translucent blue sapphire that gives a view to the watch’s automatic mechanical movement, the Cvstos CVS410.

A small seconds indicator has been designed to resemble a yacht’s propeller, while a teak wood marquetry dial serves to emulate a boat’s deck; the words “bow” and “stern” are at 12 and 6 o’clock to mimic a sealiner’s anatomy. 

Daniel Roth: Tourbillon Rose Gold

This year, Daniel Roth revisits its iconic Tourbillon with a refined version in rose gold, introducing a see-through case back that unveils the in-house DR001 movement. Limited to 50 pieces annually, this new model stands out with its pink-on-pink palette — a rose gold dial paired with a matching case — offering a modern twist on the vintage originals that typically featured silver or grey dials.

The rose gold Tourbillon builds on the legacy of the previous Souscription model in yellow gold, with several subtle yet impactful updates. The new version features a ligne or straight-line guilloché pattern on the dial, replacing the clous de Paris or hobnail pattern of its predecessor. The real star, however, is the DR001 movement, developed by La Fabrique du Temps. Visible through the sapphire case back, this hand-wound movement boasts an 80-hour power reserve and showcases exquisite finishing, including black-polished components and intricate bridge work. 

We take a closer look at the new Tourbillon here.

De Bethune: DB28XS Steel Wheels, DB28XS Aérolite

De Bethune revists the DB28XS Steel Wheels in a compact 39mm titanium case size and an 8 mm thickness, yet retaining the glory of the original design with its signature openworked dial, revealing the intricacies of its manually wound caliber DB2115V13. One would recognize De Bethune’s hallmark technical innovations from the titanium balance wheel to gray gold weights, and a balance spring with a flat terminal curve.

First it was Météorite, then Starry Seas, then Purple Rain, as if they all came together to bring us … Aérolite. This limited-edition model features a dial crafted from Muonionalusta meteorite, herein showing off a unique geometric pattern — although not an entirely new material: a slice of Muonionalusta was used in this particular DB25. The DB28XS Aérolite sports a 39mm black zirconium case, and within a miniaturized DB2005 caliber.

Favre Leuba: Chief Chronograph & Date, Deep Blue Revival & Renaissance, Sea Sky Chronograph

Favre Leuba marks a new chapter with the reimagining of its iconic Chief collection, a line deeply rooted in the brand’s adventurous spirit and 70s-inspired design. Now led by CEO Patrik Hoffman, the debut’s relaunch takes inspiration from the 1970 Chrono Valjoux 23 hand-wound model. 

The Chief Chronograph captures the essence of the 70s with its 41mm bezel-less case, featuring a dynamic, faceted, cushion-like appearance. The grooved flanks, sporty pushers, and streamlined lugs seamlessly transition into an integrated steel bracelet with sleek H-links, though a rubber strap option is also available for a sportier look.

Complementing the Chronograph, the Chief Date offers a slightly smaller 40mm case, retaining the distinctive lines but presenting a simpler design. The dial, however, is far from plain, showcasing a textured tapestry pattern of interlocking hourglasses with an off-centered sunray finish. Available in black, blue, and now a verdant green, the Chief Date adds a fresh dimension to Favre Leuba’s renewed vision.

We delve into Favre Leuba’s history and brand revival here.

Favre Leuba also commemorates the 60th anniversary of its iconic Deep Blue collection with the reintroduction of the Deep Blue Revival, a faithful homage to its 1964 predecessor. This reissue remains true to the original design, featuring a 39mm case and a sunray-finished gray dial. The Deep Blue Revival’s robust case surpasses the original model’s 200-meter capability that now boasts water resistance up to 300 meters. Alongside, the Deep Blue Renaissance introduces a contemporary twist with a 40mm case and a smoked dial available in deep blue, intense green, and anthracite gray. 

Favre Leuba’s Sea Sky Chronograph is presented in three new references — black, blue, or sunburst brown dials — in a look that’s sporty and casual chic of 70s design. Its unidirectional rotating bezel is crafted from black ceramic and engraved with countdown markers, while white sub-dials, broad arrow-style hands and vintage-inspired indices add to the legibility.

Genus: GNS2

Genus reveals the GNS2, a limited-run that reinterprets the brand’s previous creations with its 39mm titanium case, showcasing a unique, hand-hammered dial. The design features a monochrome palette of grays, where the dial’s intricate texture — created through tens of thousands of precise hammer strikes — imbues the watch with a distinct, tactile quality.

The 260Rh-2 caliber powers the movement’s hallmark time-indicating elements, which glide fluidly through two spherical openings.

HYT: T1 Titanium Millésime Editions

HYT’s new T1 Series introduces three striking limited-edition colors: purple, green, and chocolate. Launching this fall, the T1 Series stands out with its refined 45mm diameter and slimmer design, along with a vertical grain satin-finished dial.

The purple, green, and chocolate dials are accentuated by fluidic time displays (operated by the hand-wound 501-CM caliber), with vibrant red fluid in the green and chocolate versions, and a sleek black in the purple edition. The case options include titanium, DLC titanium, and 5N gold.

L’Epee 1839 × MB&F: ‘Albatross’

Inspired by Jules Verne’s airship in Jules Verne’s Robur the Conqueror, L’Epée 1839 and MB&F put together the ‘Albatross’, an intricate clock with a dynamic automaton and 32 propellers that activate every hour. Designed by Eric Meyer, this 17kg clock is composed of an astonishing 1,520 components, standing 60cm tall and wide, with a length of 60cm.

The Albatross showcases dual movements: one powers timekeeping and the striking hour function, while the other drives the propellers. The propellers’ synchronized rotation, controlled by a mechanical system, can be activated or deactivated at will, offering a mesmerizing display without affecting the chime. With a power reserve of eight days for the clock and one day for the automaton, this creation pushes the boundaries of horological art.

Crafted in brass, steel, and aluminum, and available in five limited-edition colors, the Albatross is priced at SGD 157,000.

Laurent Ferrier: Classic Auto Sandstone

The Classic Auto Sandstone by Laurent Ferrier features the watch’s iconic round, pebble-shaped stainless steel case this time with a rose-hued dial that draws inspiration from sand and earth colors. The dual-finish design showcases a vertically satin-brushed center and a circular satin-brushed railway track, complemented by white gold assegai hands and delicate white gold indices, with a date window in slate gray.

The case sits at a diameter of 40.30mm and a thickness of 6.30mm, housing the LF270.01 automatic movement with a micro-rotor, offering a 72-hour power reserve. The watch is limited to just 20 numbered pieces and priced at CHF 50,000, available exclusively through Laurent Ferrier’s website.

Maurice Lacroix: Aikon Automatic 42, Aikon Automatic Chronograph 44

Maurice Lacroix introduces new titanium versions of its Aikon Automatic and Aikon Automatic Chronograph models. The Aikon Automatic, available in 42mm, comes in two striking dial colors: a monochromatic gray and a vibrant purple, both featuring the signature clous-de-Paris motif and luminescent hands. The 44mm Aikon Automatic Chronograph offers additional functionality with a day-date display and three counters, presented in either purple with silver subdials or gold with black subdials.

Both models showcase the use of Grade 2 and Grade 5 titanium for the case that’s water-resistant to 200m. The bracelet system is interchangeable using Maurice Lacroix’s ML Easy Strap Exchange.

Perrelet: Turbine Carbon Ice Blue, Turbine Titanium Ice Blue

Perrelet expands its Turbine collection with two new models in carbon and titanium in an ice blue color palette. The Turbine Carbon Ice Blue features a 44mm case made of polycarbonate and carbon fiber, paired with a black DLC steel bezel. In contrast, the Turbine Titanium Ice Blue sports a 41mm Grade 2 titanium case, also coated in black DLC.

Both models are water-resistant up to 100m and showcases Perrelet’s signature turbine dial, composed of 12 black anodized aluminum blades that spin with wrist movement. This reveals the lower-dial decorations in the model’s signature ice blue color, one inspired by the Grande Dixence dam. Powered by the in-house P-331-MH automatic caliber, these timepieces are COSC and Chronofiable®-certified.

Ressence: TYPE 3 BB2

Ressence’s TYPE 3 watches have been on a monochromatic streak lately — not that it’s something to complain about. The last TYPE 3 EE adopted an invigorating eucalyptus shade that invited a burst of color in the oil-filled line up. Now they’ve turned down the saturation and introduced an all-black model in the BB2.

The new sleek black-on-black design enhances the brand’s signature flush rotating discs. It’s complemented with a matt black DLC-coated titanium case where the dial displays subtle pops of primary colors. The Bellows System compensates for temperature-induced oil expansion, ensuring consistent performance.

Alpina: Heritage Automatic, Extreme Skeleton Automatic

Alpina introduces the Heritage Automatic, a new addition to its Heritage collection. This latest model is available in two versions, both bearing designs that reflect the aesthetics of the 1920s and 1940s. The watch is inspired by a 25.7 mm timepiece from Alpina’s archives but has been sized up to 38mm for greater wearability.

The first version showcases an all-beige dial with 12 Arabic numerals, while the second offers a beige center with a satin-finish gray hour circle, accented by alternating bronze-colored hour markers and numerals. The time-only watch runs on an automatic-winding AL-520 caliber with a 38-hour power reserve.

The Alpiner Extreme collection introduces a new skeletonized model in the Alpiner Extreme Skeleton Automatic. For the first time, the sports watch is offered in a skeletonized version in a new 39mm case size. Two versions are available: in full steel, with the other in a steel case with a navy-blue rubber strap, crown, and flange. The exposed movement is the same one running in the Heritage model — the AL-520.

Angelus: Chronodate Titanium Magnetic Silver Edition

The Angelus Chronodate Titanium introduces a new sleek “Magnetic Silver” dial, extending the grey tones of titanium across the entire ensemble. The monochrome aesthetic is carried through the titanium case, bracelet, and rhodium-plated hands.

This ultra-sporty chronograph has a modular case structure that features a lightweight carbon composite container. The openworked cradle design unites the case middle and lugs, housing the bezel marked with twelve notches. Powered by the A-500 calibre, the Chronodate Titanium features a peripheral date display, a 30-minute chronograph totalizer, and a small seconds counter. 

Bausele: Infinite Sunset Collection

Australian brand Bausele introduces a new series of ‘Infinite Sunset‘ timepieces, a colorful collection in dynamic dial colors of yellow, blue, orange, and white, set against a black 39.5mm sand-blasted stainless steel case.

These sporty timepieces, powered by the automatic-winding Sellita SW200, are equipped with a water resistance of 200m. The collection is paired with a versatile black tropic rubber strap on a quick-change system. Each watch is priced at USD 1,400 and is available through Bausele’s official website and selected retailers.

Konstantin Chaykin: ThinKing

There’s a new king in town — a thin king, that is. Russian master watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin has come forth with a time-only piece that measures just 1.65mm thick.

The ThinKing cleverly utilizes the existing Wristmon format, where separate dials for hours and minutes resemble the eyes of a face, allowing for a significant reduction in height by eliminating the traditional hand stack. Its monochromatic design echoes his edgier early creations, while the watch’s “face” brings a smile with its playful pareidolic features — the moonphase indication is replaced by a curved rendering of the brand’s wordmark as a “mouth,” and the graphical logo forms the “nose.” We explore the watch’s construction that you can read about here.

Louis Erard × The Horophile La Petite Seconde Metropolis Green

The new Petite Seconde Metropolis Green by Louis Erard is a unique collaboration between the brand and Amr Sindi, aka The Horophile. Within a 39mm steel case, the watch introduces a new style: neo-deco. This design pays tribute to the brand’s roots in the Art Deco movement of the 1920s, specifically 1929, and the color in homage to Jura region’s fir tree-inspired aesthetics. 

The dial’s green hue shifts with the light, contrasting beautifully with the silver “Empire” (a name taken from the Empire State Building) hands and numerals. Completed with a light brown grained calfskin strap, the Petite Seconde Metropolis is a new modern take on architectural design in watchmaking.

Massena Lab × Albishorn Maxigraph

Massena Lab has teamed up with independent watchmaker Albishorn (which also marks their public debut at Geneva Watch Days) to unveil a regatta timer called the Maxigraph. Inspired by the “imaginary vintage” concept, the Maxigraph imagines how a modern-day regatta chronograph might have looked in the 1930s.

What Massena and Albishorn have then put together is a Maxigraph with a patented ten-minute retrograde regatta countdown positioned at 7 o’clock, designed to stop after ten minutes while the chronograph’s seconds continue running. While not specified, a Swiss-made proprietary caliber is making all this happen, within a 39mm stainless steel case that’s topped off with a 41mm bidirectional rotating bezel and with a 100-meter water-resistance. It launches on September 12, 2024 on massenalab.com and will be available in small batches of 25 watches each. 

Ming: 20.01 Series 3

The 20.01 Series 3 from Ming Watches debuts a fused borosilicate dial, with borosilicate here being a type of glass with the main glass-forming constituents’ silica and boron oxide — therefore a first in watchmaking. This innovative dial features 600 voids arranged in a radially symmetric pattern, crafted using high-energy laser technology in partnership with Femtoprint SA. These said voids within the 41.5mm rose gold case and a DLC titanium core are filled with Super-LumiNova X1 for an intense glow, creating a mesmerizing visual effect, as they appear to float and reveal glimpses of the intricate movement beneath.

The Agenhor AgenGraphe movement includes a central chronograph core, backlash-free gears, and a proprietary horizontal clutch mechanism. The watch is accompanied by an anthracite goat strap with an alcantara lining and a matching rose gold buckle by Jean Rousseau Paris. 

Speake Marin: Ripples Skeleton

Speake Marin introduces a skeletonized model to the Ripples collection. The 40.3mm “La City” steel case now exposes the ultra-thin SMA07 caliber (at 3.25mm thick) equipped with a high-frequency of 5Hz. Flame-blued hands add a sole pop of color to the otherwise steely monochromatic skeleton, with a small-seconds counter with a wave motif taking residence at 2 o’clock. The Ripples Skeleton model is priced at CHF 29,900 and is currently available in a limited production.
