Day one of Watches and Wonders 2025
It’s day one of Watches and Wonders 2025, and let me tell you, I’m excited!
First, let me quickly introduce myself. I’m Beth, T3’s Home Editor who’s been covering watches – and more specifically Watches and Wonders – for the past few years now. I’ll be the one giving you all the latest launches and news from this year’s event.
This is my third time covering Watches and Wonders live and my colleague Sam Cross is actually on the ground in Geneva seeing all the action – he’ll be sharing plenty of behind the scenes looks throughout this week and he’ll even be giving out some prizes.
But before we jump into what Watches and Wonders is showcasing today, myself, Sam and fellow watch enthusiast and expert, Alistair Charlton thought we’d take a guess at what our watch brands would be showing off and launching this year. Take a look at T3's watch experts predictions for Watches and Wonders 2025.
TAG Heuer wows with new Formula 1 collections
It wouldn't be Watches and Wonders without TAG Heuer stealing the show with three new timepieces. As official timekeeper of Formula 1, TAG Heuer has debuted a new Formula 1 Solograph and Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph, as well as a new Carrera Day-Date.
The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solograph is the standout from the new novelties. Available in nine models - three from the core collection and six limited edition versions - the Formula 1 Solograph is inspired by the original 1986 Formula 1 collection by the brand.
The Formula 1 Solograph has a new 38mm size, and comes in multiple different colour combinations. The dials have bubble and shield icons as the hour markers, and the watch is powered by the Solargraph movement which is recharged by the sun or artificial light.
For more details about the new launches, see our full breakdown of TAG Heuer's Watches and Wonders timepieces.
Panerai debuts new Luminor Marina models
Panerai has debuted new Luminor Marina models at Watches and Wonders. The sporty watch which has its oversized crown have been given new colours and the case itself has been reduced by 12% in thickness.
The new Panerai Luminor Marina is powered by the P.980 calibre which offers three days of power reserve and 500m of water resistance. The watches have a steel case, and come with a stee bracelet or alligator leather straps.
Nomos upgrades its Club Sport Neomatik
Nomos has upgraded its Club Sport Neomatik watch with a world timer complication.
The new Nomos Club Sport Neomatik is powered by the DUW 3202 calibre movement, which offers a 42 hour power reserve and helps power the new world timer complication.
Although this complication has been added to the watch, it hasn't affected the size or thickness of it which is pretty impressive. The watch has a blue ring around it which displays different cities around the world adjacent to the right times.
Measuring 40mm, the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik case is made from stainless steel and comes in two dial options: blue or silver.
I'm obsessed with A Lange & Söhne's Minute Repeater Perpetual
A Lange & Söhne has launched three new stunning watches at Watches and Wonders, but I'm most obsessed with the Minute Repeater Perpetual.
The 40.5mm Minute Repeater Perpetual combines a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar in one watch. It gives the dial three subdials, one that has days of the week, one that has the months of the year and one that has a moonphase.
The dial is black with silver accents, and it has a manually wound movement, so if you keep it wound, it won't need to be corrected until 1st of March 2100.
The stunning Minute Repeater Perpetual by A Lange & Söhne is limited to just 50 pieces.
Zenith is feeling blue...
As you may have guessed from our predictions piece, I love a striking blue dial, and Zenith has given us not one, not two but four stunning blue watches at Watches and Wonders 2025.
The real standout is the new G.F.J Calibre 135, as it marks a revival of Zenith's iconic calibre 135 movement. In the new novelty, the movement has been upgraded with an offset centre wheel, 72 hour power reserve and a lapis lazuli dial.
Zenith has also debuted three of its popular watches in this new blue colour - you can find out more in our full Zenith Watches and Wonders breakdown.
Tudor impresses with huge novelties drop
In its 2025 line-up, Tudor has announced an array of new timepieces, including an all-new Black Bay 68, and Pelagos Ultra.
My favourite, the Tudor Pelagos Ultra, comes in a 43mm titanium case and is powered by the Master Chronometer Certification and MT5612-U automatic movement. It offers 65 hours of power reserve, and has been engineered to overcome the challenges of saturation diving, thanks to its 1,000 metres water resistance.
Tudor has also updated its Black Bay Pro, Black Bay 58 and Black Bay Chrono - see here's everything Tudor just announced at Watches and Wonders for more details.
Jaeger-LeCoultre showcases a whole host of Reverso watches
Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled five new Reverso models at Watches and Wonders. The iconic watch which features a reversible case which has the clock on one side, and a fun engraving on the other, is now back with even more exciting colours and designs.
The new launches include the Reverso Tribute Geographic, Monoface and DuoFace Small Seconds and Minute Repeaters, as well as a Hybris Artistica Calibre 179. The latter is the most exciting as it has an intricate skeletonised dial on one side and its dramatic movement on the other.
With the Hybris Artistica Calibre 179, Jaeger-LeCoultre has built a gyrotourbillon into the dial and layered with geometric patterns. The case is crafted from white gold and dark blue lacquer, and it's limited to just 10 pieces!
See our full story on Jaeger-LeCoultre's Watches and Wonders releases.
It all started with the Big Bang!
Hublot is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Big Bang with a new collection, more colours and other stunning launches.
The most exciting new launch if a full Big Bang 20th anniversary collection which features five new references. The new watches combine details from the first Big Bang and the Big Bang Unico to fully celebrate the evolution of the Big Bang watch.
Available in five different colour variations, the new models feature a checkerboard pattern on the dial, two chronograph counters and rubber dials.
There's a new Rolex in town...
It seems like something is in the air this Watches and Wonders, as almost every brand is treating us with tons of new watches - it's the most launches I've seen in my past three years covering the event.
In true Rolex style, the brand wasn't going to miss out and has debuted an all-new Land-Dweller. The Rolex Land-Dweller features an integrated bracelet design and is available in 36mm or 40mm sizes. It also has many Rolex flourishes, like a cyclops magnifier over the date window and a fluted bezel.
The dial of the Land-Dweller also has a honeycomb pattern and a stunning blue-teal colourway. For a full breakdown, check out all of Rolex's Watches and Wonders launches.
Gerald Charles 25th anniversary Maestro is top of my wishlist
It seems that almost every watch brand is celebrating an anniversary this year, but I think Gerald Charles might have just debuted my favourite model yet.
The Maestro GC39 25th Anniversary Edition by Gerald Charles is inspired by Mr. Genta's 2005 GC39. Another blue dial (shock!), the Maestro GC39 25th Anniversary Edition has a lapis lazuli centrepiece that's surrounded by striking silver lines.
The stone offsets the jumping hour complication which looks like it's being hidden by the other silver accents. A 25 sits at the six o'clock mark for the anniversary, and a simple light blue hand ticks between the hours.
The Maestro GC39 25th Anniversary Edition is set in a 42mm polished titanium case, which makes the watch look like a photo frame. It's limited to just 100 pieces - and it's definitely on my wishlist!
Parmigiani Fleurier ticks all my boxes
If there's one thing you need to know about me (and if you've been reading this live blog, chances are you know already), I'm currently loving two things: blue colourways and subdials.
Lucky for me, Parmigiani Fleurier is ticking all my boxes with it new Toric Quantieme Perpetual Platinum Morning Blue. The simple blue dial has silver accents for the hour markers and hour and minute hands.
But what makes it standout, other than its morning blue colour, is its two subdials. The left one points to the days of the week and the month, while the right one is for the months of the year.
It's classy and elegant, and I can't stop looking at it!
This Bell & Ross is anything but simple...
At T3, we're big fans of Bell & Ross and its Watches and Wonders display is anything but simple. While it might look so on the outside, the BR-03 Skeleton Black Ceramic is extremely technical and intricate, if you look a bit closer.
The Bell & Ross BR-03 Skeleton Black Ceramic has an openworked dial and exposed movement that sits inside it black 41mm case. It's bold cartoon-like letters overlap the movement, adding more dimension and making the watch look bolder and more intriguing.
That's a wrap from day one!
That's a wrap on day one – at least for me from the UK. I'm sure our Senior News Writer, Sam Cross is heading off to an exciting launch event in Geneva as we speak!
But day one of Watches and Wonders has been pretty impressive, with tons of new novelties from TAG Heuer, Tudor, Rolex, Hublot and many more. We're expecting to see lots more tomorrow and I'll be back to keep you up-to-date on all the latest novelties.
Stay tuned, and see you tomorrow for another Watches and Wonders-filled day!
Day Two of Watches and Wonders
It's day two of Watches and Wonders! Yesterday, we saw plenty of colourful and technical novelties from the likes of Tudor, Rolex, TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot, Gerald Charles and many more.
Now for the second day of the event, I'm back to highlight more of our favourite launches from Watches and Wonders - stay tuned!
Is this the most complicated watch ever made?!
This might be the most complicated wristwatch ever made!
The new (deep breath!) Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication features a grand total of 41 complications which included 13 patent applications to get it made!
The Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication is eight years in the making, and it might be the most elaborate watch I've ever seen. It has five astronomical functions, 1521 components, a moonphase, and multiple other measurements, so it's a full timer, clock and watch in one!
Even though it might sound complicated (pun intended), the Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication is also lovely to look at and sits in a 45mm white gold case. The dial is mainly black and has red, yellow and green accents on the subdials.
Montblanc puts the mountains on your wrist
Montblanc is known for its mountaineering-inspired watches and its latest novelty is no exception. The 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition pays homage to alpinist Reinhold Messner and Mount Vinson, Antarctica's highest peak reached by Messner in 1986.
The Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition is crafted from titanium and measures 43.5mm. The middle case is made from quartz and aluminised basalt fibres and light blue resin which is devoid of oxygen.
Removing the oxygen means that the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition can endure tough temperatures and climates. Powered by the MB 29.25 movement, the watch has rotating Northern and Southern hemisphere globes, a worldtime complication, 24-hour scale, dual time display, day and night indications and date window.
The Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition is packed with features, and it's a looker, too. It has a 3D coloured image of Mount Vison and comes in a stylish blue-green dial and strap colour.
The world's lightest mechanical dive watch
Ulysse Nardin has surprised everyone at Watches and Wonders but not launching a new Freak and instead debuting the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] – the world's lightest mechanical dive watch.
Ulysse Nardin has achieved this feat by removing materials from its UN-374 calibre movement, so the overall weight of the watch – including the strap – weighs just 52g!
It's a pretty impressive feat, plus the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] still looks amazing with its skeletonised dial, 44mm titanium case and orange and white straps.
Frederique Constant upgrades its Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture
Frederique Constant has given its Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture a new design and movement upgrade.
Originally unveiled in 2016, the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture now comes in a 40mm steel case and has a salmon dial which is a collectors' favourite colour. The watch also features a new movement, the Manufacture FC-776 calibre, which is the 34th movement developed in-house by Frederique Constant.
An IWC made entirely of ceramic
IWC Schaffhassen has debuted the Ingenieur Automatic 42, the brand's first IWC Ingenieur that's been crafted entirely from ceramic.
The case has a pure ceramic construction and measures 42mm. The movement which is stylishly shown via the caseback is the 82110 Calibre, which offers 60 hours of power reserve.
Grand Seiko debuts most accurate watch ever made
Grand Seiko has debuted its SLGB003 novelty at Watches and Wonders, and claims that it's the most accurate mainspring-powered watch ever made. Quite a big claim, but Grand Seiko has the smarts to back this up.
The Grand Seiko SLGB003 has an icy textured dial and a 37mm titanium case which houses its clever 9RB2 movement. The new movement is what gives the watch this accuracy, as Grand Seiko says it's accurate to plus/minus 20 seconds per year!
This Patek Philippe watch has an 8-day power reserve
Patek Philippe has added a new Calatrava watch to its collection, and it has an impressive eight-day power reserve.
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5328G-001 has an instantaneous day-date displays at the six o'clock position, while a power indicator sits at 12 o'clock. The watch has a white gold case with a guilloché hobnail pattern around the outside which offsets the dark blue dial.
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5328G-001 is powered by the new 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J caliber movement which can be seen through the caseback. It's undeniably impressive.
Sam Cross, Senior News Writer for T3 and current attendee at Watches and Wonders headed over to the Patek Philippe stand and saw these beauties, too.
You can personalise this Louis Moinet
Louis Moinet has debuted its TIME TO RACE novelty, and you can customise it to your unique taste. Available in red or blue, wearers can choose their 'lucky number' to go on the white subdial at six o'clock.
The TIME TO RACE really gives me Herbie vibes and its crown and pusher makes it look a lot like a stopwatch. It has that old vintage car feel, and shows off the intricacy of the movement on the dial.
What number would you choose?
Blue sporty chic with Laurent Ferrier
As I've said countless times in this live blog, I love blue dials and I love a counter subdial too, so this Laurent Ferrier Classic Auto Horizon is right up my street.
Aside from sporting a horizon blue dial, which looks purple in certain lights, the Classic Auto Horizon is powered by the LF270.01 calibre movement which was originally used in the brand's Sport collections.
With 72 hours of power reserve, a small seconds subdial and a date window, the Classic Auto Horizon has a 40mm stainless steel case and a pebble-like shape so it looks like a stopwatch.
Well done Laurent Ferrier - I'm a big fan!
Raymond Weil Freelancer Complete Calendar
Raymond Weil has added to its Freelancer collection with a Complete Calendar, available in blue or white.
This beautiful watch features a moonphase at six o'clock which playfully shows off the night sky. Around the counter are the dates of the month and further up the dial but just below the logo, there's day and month windows.
The Raymond Weil Freelancer Complete Calendar has a redesigned 40mm case with featuring integrated correctors. It's crafted from rose gold and completed with a brown calfskin strap.
Cartier reinvents the Tank à Guichets
Cartier originally created the Tank à Guichets in 1928, but for Watches and Wonders 2025, it's brought it back with a reinterpretation.
The Cartier Tank à Guichets is powered by the manual 9755 MC calibre movement. Instead of a full dial with hands and markers, the Cartier Tank à Guichets showcases the time via two apertures: one for the jumping hours and one for trailing minutes.
The winding crown of the Cartier Tank à Guichets sits at the top of the watch (where 12 o'clock would normally be) and it's discreetly hidden between the watch's case and strap. It's available in platinum, yellow gold or rose gold.
U-Boat's hypercurved watch is dividing opinions
U-Boat has debuted the U-65 at Watches and Wonders... and I don't know how to feel about it!
Described as a hypercurved watch, the U-Boat U-65 has an ultra-domed sapphire crystal that makes the watch look like a giant bubble! The crystal is completely risen off the case, and features a three-layer skeleton dial.
The movement peeks through the dial and U, 8 and 4 are dotted around the dial in a big font. The watch has an “Oil Immersion” concept which enhances the design, and it's complete with industrial accents.
I don't know if I like it or not but one thing's for sure - it's got people talking.
That's it for day two!
That's it from me for Watches and Wonders day two! Today, we saw some amazing timepieces from Cartier, Ulysse Nardin, Grand Seiko, Frederique Constant, Montblanc and more.
We also saw a lot of records broken today, including the lightest mechanical watch and a hypercurved watch. Let's hope there's more tomorrow.
See you soon for day three!
Day Three of Watches and Wonders
Welcome to day three of Watches and Wonders 2025! Yesterday, we had a look at record breaking watches from the likes of Ulysse Nardin, Cartier, U-Boat, Patek Philippe, Laurent Ferrier and more.
For today, I'm back to highlight more novelties from the event and I'll be focusing on the more outrageous models with flying tourbillons, ultra-thin cases and hand painted dials.
Stay tuned for more!
Jacob & Co made a ... normal?! ... watch
Jacob & Co has done the unthinkable and has debuted a 'normal' watch at Watches and Wonders.
The Jacob & Co Epic X Sport has an Astronomia four-axis tourbillon, and it's the first time the brand has used a chronometer certified movement. With a 41mm steel case, the Jacob & Co Epic X Sport has a patterned honeycomb-like design and comes in blue, yellow and black colourways, complete with a rubber strap.
Roger Dubuis's Excalibur Grande Complication
If you like the look of the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Grande Complication, chances are you won't be able to get one... here's why.
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Roger Dubuis has debuted the Excalibur Grande Complication as a tribute to the brand's first creation and its founders. The timepiece features a tourbillon, minute repeater and perpetual calendar.
The 684 hand-decorated components of the Excalibur Grande Complication are stunning to look at, and some of the dates and numbers look blown out, similar to the melting clocks by Salvador Dali.
Due to the intricacy of the timepiece, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Grande Complication is limited to just eight pieces.
This Armin Strom has two oscillators in one
Armin Strom has debuted its Dual Time GMT Resonance Manufacture Edition, and it has two oscillators that beat as one.
Powered by the ARF22 calibre movement, the watch has two balance wheels that synchronise the two oscillations for perfect time regulation. It offers a 42 hour power reserve and GMT function which is shown via two independent displays on the dial.
Overlapping the intricate movement, the GMT counters can have their hour and minute hands independently adjusted, so you can set your own time zones.
Bulgari is back with a new record-breaking ultra-thin watch
Last year at Watches and Wonders, Bulgari showed off its Octo Finissimo Ultra, its thinnest watch to date. But never one to be outdone (even by themselves), Bulgari is back with a new record.
The brand has debuted the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon that has a total thickness of just 1.85mm. It has a skeleton tourbillon in the main plate and is showcased in stainless steel with an integrated bracelet.
The Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon marks the 10th world record achieved by Bulgari. Hats off to them!
Hautlence announces new LINEAR Series 3
Hautlence is back with the LINEAR Series 3, and this time it's all in red.
The LINEAR Series 3 has its classic rectangular stainless steel case design, complete with a linear retrograde jumping hour display. The multi-layer dial shows off the movement, and a seconds counter loops around it in 5 second increments. At the bottom of the dial is a tourbillon.
The Hautlence LINEAR Series 3 is finished with a red rubber strap. It looks like a retro-style TV to me, and it's a fun and inventive new way to tell time.
Trilobe reinvents the Une Folle Journée
Trilobe has reinvented the Une Folle Journée with a new green and rhodium-plated design.
The open dial has a suspended mechanism and three rotating rings that show off hours on the large ring, minutes on the medium ring, and seconds on the small ring.
The new Une Folle Journée is so fun to look at with its three-dimensionality, and the bridges of the movement have been given a new rhodium finish. The rings also have a new green hue – it might be my favourite version yet.
Share a kiss with Van Cleef & Arpels
We've not seen many women's watches at Watches and Wonders this year, but Van Cleef & Arpels have given us something exciting to look at with the Lady Arpels Bal des Amoureux Automate.
The Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Bal des Amoureux Automate is inspired by an open-air dance café popular in the 19th century. It features a couple performing the dance and the watch's automaton movement brings the lovers closer together overtime, so they kiss at noon and midnight.
The dial is intricately beautiful and has a diamond bezel running around it. The hours are on the top left of the watch and the seconds are displayed on the top right in 10 second increments.
Pequignet shrinks the Royale Paris
Pequignet has debuted a new version of the Royale Paris which comes in a smaller size than before. Now measuring 39.5mm, the Pequignet Royale Paris has had a redesign which pays attention to the lugs, case and dial details.
The Royale Paris has two moon phase complications, one for the north hemisphere and the other for the south hemisphere. The moon has been diamond polished and it sits next to a seconds counter, and a day and date window.
This Norqain is inspired by the highest mountains
Norqain's Watches and Wonders novelty, the Independence Skeleton Chrono is inspired by the world's highest mountains.
If you look closely at the skeletonised dial, you can see mountain-shaped accents included in the flyback chronograph movement and the top subdial. Aside from the grade 5 titanium, the Norqain Independence Skeleton Chrono comes in a bold jade green colour.
Rudis Sylva gives its RS 23 Harmonious Oscillator a blue upgrade
Rudis Sylva has debuted the Blue RS 23 Harmonious Oscillator at Watches and Wonders 2025.
Featuring a harmonious oscillator, this new novelty is decked out in titanium and has a wonderful blue dial that sits behind the movement.
By now, you know how much I love a blue dial, and this new colourway is definitely eye-catching and perfectly offsets all the intricacies of the Blue RS 23 Harmonious Oscillator.
Angelus' vintage-inspired Chronographe Télémètre
Angelus has debuted two limited edition version of the Chronographe Télémètre, one in steel and the other in 18kt yellow gold.
The yellow gold version of the Angelus Chronographe Télémètre has to be my favourite. It has a real vintage feel, with a kilometer and seconds tracks looping around the edge, and two subdials in the centre.
It's a small watch at just 37mm in diameter, and it ha a mono-pusher integrated into the crown to track short intervals.
T3 hands out Best of Watches and Wonders awards!
While I've been sat in the UK reporting live on Watches and Wonder 2025, T3's Senior News Writer, Sam Cross has been in Geneva at the show. Not only has he seen all the latest and greatest novelties over the past few days, but he's also handed out a few awards too!
2025 marks the first time that we've given out physical awards to our favourite watches from the event. To find out which watches won, see T3's Best of Watches and Wonders Awards.
Goodbye day three!
And that's a wrap for day three of Watches and Wonders 2025. It's been a great day, and we've seen many amazing novelties from Angelus, Pequignet, Trilobe, Bulgari and more. We also handed out some awards for our favourite watches from the event!
We'll be back tomorrow for the final day of the event. See you then!
Day Four of Watches and Wonders
Welcome back to another day of Watches and Wonders 2025. The last few days have been full of amazing novelties, record-breaking watches and anniversary celebrations.
For day four, we're back to showcase more of our favourite watches, and we'll be giving you behind the scenes access to the event. Stay tuned!
Cyrus Genève wows with 3D gold dial
Cyrus Genève has debuted the Dominion GMT Gold at Watches and Wonders.
The Dominion GMT Gold has a 3D dial that displays rose gold and titanium inlays and twin crowns. The 42mm case has a mixture of metals, and a rose gold crown, that balances nicely with the bright, skeletonised dial.
The Cyrus Genève Dominion GMT Gold has a self-winding CYR708 calibre movement and powers a small seconds counter and second time zone with a retrograde hand. It's limited to just 25 pieces, so if you like it, you'll want to be quick!
Seeing purple with H. Moser & Cie
While I've banged on and on about how much I love blue dials, purple is actually my favourite colour, so I'm obsessed with this H. Moser & Cie novelty.
The Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Purple Enamel reinvents H. Moser & Cie's fumé signature dial with an ancestral form of enamelling. The dial is dramatic and has a unique texture which flows onto the leather speckled strap. It sits in a classy stainless steel case, and has silver hours and minute hands, with a purple seconds hand.
Ressence has an interactive time simulator
The Ressence TYPE 7 is an unusual watch as it doesn't have a straightforward dial but it's actually Ressence’s most advanced tool watch to date.
Designed for modern explorers, the Ressence TYPE 7 has a GMT function, plus hours, minutes, runner and oil temperature measurements. It comes with a grade 5 titanium strap and two colours, including Night Blue and XV Aquamarine.
Hermes suspends time
Hermes has transcended time with its new Time Suspended novelty. The brand has redesigned its Arceau singular complication and has given this function to its Cut collection.
The dial has a vintage feel with the bronze colours and italicized numbers and writings. The movement can be seen at the centre of the dial, and a small semi-circle overlaps it which acts as a date calendar with the dates of the month looped around it.
BTS with Rolex
As mentioned plenty of times in this live blog, Sam Cross, T3's Senior News Writer was on the ground at Watches and Wonders and saw tons of beautiful novelties, including the new Rolex Land-Dweller.
As you can see, the Rolex Land-Dweller comes in two colours and has a dainty honeycomb pattern on the dial. It's made up of 31 patents, and has the calibre 7135 movement which operates at 5 Hz.
It also boasts a regulating system composed of a new escapement called the Dynapulse, which took 10 years to develop.
Alpina pays tribute to the Tropic-Proof
Alpina pays tribute to the Tropic-Proof as debuted in the 1960s with its new Heritage Tropic-Proof Handwinding.
The Alpina Heritage Tropic-Proof Handwinding might looks simple, but it has a Swiss made movement that offers an impressive two-day power reserve. The dial is clean and easy to read, with its bold silver hands and hour markers.
You might not be able to tell but the Alpina Heritage Tropic-Proof Handwinding is actually quite small, at just 34mm. It comes with a black or white dial, and I think the one Sam got his hands on is my favourite.
BTS with Hublot
Hublot announced many new watches at Watches and Wonders, and they were all centered around the Big Bang as the brand celebrated 20 years of it being launched.
Below, you can see the new Hublot watches up close as Sam got his hands on them during the show. These include the Big Bang One Click Joyful and the Big Bang Unico Water Blue Sapphire. Aren't they stunning?!
BTS with Baume & Mercier
For Watches and Wonders 2025, Baume & Mercier debuted the Riviera Chronograph 41 mm. Inspired by the 1950s, the black and white has three subdials and a date window that sit atop the wave patterned dial, which is bordered by a black outer flange.
The case of the Baume & Mercier Riviera Chronograph 41 mm is angular with screw accents in each corner. The chronograph pushers sit either side of the crown and are very close to the case so they perfectly blend in.
Baume & Mercier also showed off other novelties, including the limited edition Riviera 10828 as seen above when Sam visited the stall.
BTS with Zenith
A huge anniversary celebration was had by Zenith at Watches and Wonders. The brand debuted its new G.F.J Calibre 135, revival of its Calibre 135 movement with a new monochromatic blue colourway.
Alongside it, the brand reimagined the Big Date Flyback, DEFY Skyline Chronograph and the CHRONOMASTER Sport in the new blue colour too. Sam got a close up look and it's just made me love them more.
BTS with Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre is an undeniably impressive watch maker, due to its flipping Reverso models. When I saw this picture snapped by Sam, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso went straight on my wishlist... I mean, just look at it!
That's a wrap on Watches and Wonders 2025!
That's a wrap on Watches and Wonders 2025 from T3! I've had the best few days reporting on the latest novelties, and have loved seeing the timepieces from TAG Heuer, Rolex, Tudor, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Zenith and many more.
We'll be back next year for more Watches and Wonders fun!
