Bulgari had quite the display of the Octo Roma collection, from the new chronograph design to striking, sportier tourbillon versions.

BAUME ET MERCIER

The Riviera celebrates its 50th anniversary with a new 39-mm diameter.

CARTIER

The Cartier meeting never disappoints, and this year, we can’t stop thinking about the new Cartier Santos-Dumon Skeleton, equipped with Cartier’s new caliber 9629 MC.

CHANEL

For the first time, the MONSIEUR watch houses a flying tourbillon movement, the caliber 5.1, designed and assembled by the CHANEL Manufacture.

CHOPARD

GRAND SEIKO

While Grand Seiko presented an exquisite collection this year, our two standouts are the brand-new Tentagraph and the one-of-a-kind Masterpiece Collection Spring Drive 8-Day Jewelry Watch.

GUCCI

Gucci’s sophisticated moonphase caliber GGV838.MP meets personal expression in a new made-to-order G-Timeless Moonlight, where the wearer’s specific place, time, and date of birth are uniquely depicted on the watch.

HUBLOT

For Hublot this year, the theme was to remain at the forefront of innovation while also further proving Hublot is a real manufacturer; thus, the brand’s legendary classics have been reimagined, feeling more Hublot than ever.

IWC

When you stepped into the IWC booth, you instantly entered the brains of the IWC watchmakers, better understanding the mechanics and complexities behind the IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40.

MONTBLANC

Montblanc unveiled a new limited edition in distressed steel, giving this model a more contemporary look. This distressed steel finish is achieved by treating the 43mm stainless steel case with a black coating, and this new version comes with a white gold fluted bezel inspired by Minerva’s first fluted bezel that dates back to 1927.

PANERAI

At Panerai, this year is all about reaching back into the deep history of the Radiomir to create a stunning new collection of Radiomirs.

The Rolez buzz was alive this year as the brand embraced its debut of the highly-anticipated classics in new versions like the GMT-Master II in yellow gold as well as a breath of fresh air with the vibrant lacquered dial of the Oyster Perpetual with bubbles.

ROGER DUBUIS

Roger Dubuis’ new timepiece reinvents both the tourbillon and the oscillating mass, each associated with one of the most complex traditional fine watchmaking complications: the Split-Seconds Chronograph.

TAG HEUER

TAG Heuer’s brand-new, limited-edition TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma Diamant d’Avant-Garde Chronograph Tourbillon is designed with a total of 124 lab-grown diamonds and weighing 15.5 carats, the timepiece’s black aluminum case, bezel, and bracelet is instantly lit up — creating a TAG Heuer Carrera like no other.
