Audemars Piguet
Audemars Piguet continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking innovation with two new Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronographs. Fusing cutting-edge ceramic craftsmanship with bold aesthetics, the first model features a 43mm black ceramic case accented by green ceramic and titanium details, paired with a textured green leather strap and interchangeable black rubber option.
Audemars Piguet
The second, more minimalist model, boasts a 42mm case and integrated bracelet entirely in black ceramic, offering a sleek monochromatic look. Both timepieces house the Maison’s latest self-winding chronograph movements—Calibre 4401 and 4404—visible through sapphire and titanium casebacks. Resistant to scratches and remarkably lightweight, these new launches reaffirm ceramic’s place at the forefront of AP’s high-performance, luxury sports watch design.
Hublot
Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 is a sun-soaked celebration of innovation and colour. Crafted from ultra-light, high-tech ceramic, its glowing orange case and sky-blue bezel evoke golden hour by the sea.
Engineered for bold living, it offers 100m water resistance and three interchangeable rubber straps in oceanic tones, easily switched via Hublot’s patented One-Click system. Powered by the brand’s in-house Unico movement, this timepiece pairs cutting-edge mechanics with vibrant, scratch-resistant ceramic—a true icon for seamless transitions from beach to party.
IWC Schaffhausen
IWC Schaffhausen celebrates the magic of storytelling with two new Pilot’s Watches honouring The Little Prince. The Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Le Petit Prince pairs a rich blue ceramic case with 18-carat 5N gold accents, powered by the intricate 51950 calibre, which features a perpetual calendar and flying tourbillon.
Its counterpart, the Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Tourbillon, is housed in platinum with a deep blue sunray dial and the refined 82905 calibre. Both models include sapphire case backs engraved with the Little Prince on his asteroid, capturing the poetic spirit of Saint-Exupéry in timeless mechanical form.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre expands its Polaris collection for 2025 with the new Polaris Chronograph, introduced in a striking Ocean grey lacquer dial. Evoking the spirit of the Maison’s 1960s diving watches, the timepiece effortlessly bridges sportiness and refinement. Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case, it features vintage-inspired elements including bold orange accents, a tachymeter scale, and skeletonised hands.
The lacquered dial, achieved through 30 layers of meticulous handwork, adds luminous depth and texture. Equipped with a chronograph seconds hand, dual sub-dials, and luminescent markers, this versatile chronograph is both technically accomplished and visually captivating, making it a refined companion for everyday wear and sporting adventures alike.
Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton unveils its second collaboration with celebrated independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen—the LVKV-02 GMR 6. Crafted for modern explorers, this exceptional piece merges Voutilainen’s artisanal precision with Louis Vuitton’s design savoir-faire. Housed in a 40.5mm Escale case made from tantalum with platinum accents, the watch honours the Maison’s heritage of travel through meticulous detailing inspired by its iconic trunks.
The riveted lugs echo the brass corners of Louis Vuitton’s historic luggage, while the name “Escale” (French for “stopover”) captures the spirit of global adventure. First launched in 2014 as a world timepiece, this new iteration blends timeless design with elevated craftsmanship. A testament to horological artistry, the LVKV-02 GMR 6 is a visually striking, technically accomplished companion for connoisseurs who view time through the lens of travel and refinement.
Parmigiani Fleurier
The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronograph No Date is a masterclass in elegant precision. Redesigned in a 40mm stainless steel case and powered by a COSC-certified, high-frequency chronograph movement, this timepiece marries mechanical excellence with refined aesthetics. Its Mineral Blue dial, adorned with the brand’s signature Grain d’Orge guilloché, shifts subtly in the light—an ode to the sky and to the poetic duality of time itself: movement and stillness.
With a 65-hour power reserve and ultra-slim 6.95mm profile, this chronograph is as technically impressive as it is visually striking. A rose gold open-worked rotor and impeccable finishing round out its elevated appeal—a harmonious blend of contemporary elegance and timeless craftsmanship.
Ulysse Nardin
Ulysse Nardin’s new Freak [X Gold Enamel] is a breathtaking fusion of avant-garde horology and centuries-old craftsmanship. Limited and handcrafted in Le Locle, Switzerland, this timepiece reinterprets the brand’s iconic Freak model with a 43mm blue PVD titanium case accented by rose gold side panels and a bold alligator strap.
Its signature flying carousel complication sees the movement rotate without an upper bridge—seemingly floating—to display the time. Adding to its spectacle is a hand-finished Guilloché-Flinqué rotating disc adorned with layered blue enamel, creating an extraordinary depth and shimmer. With a 72-hour power reserve and luminous details, the Freak X Gold Enamel stands as a poetic interplay of history, artistry, and horological disruption.
Zenith
Zenith plunges into new depths with two remarkable titanium timepieces: the DEFY Extreme Diver and DEFY Revival Diver Shadow editions. Designed for underwater adventurers, both models boast 600m water resistance and advanced performance features. The DEFY Extreme Diver’s bold 42.5mm micro-blasted case integrates a ceramic unidirectional bezel and El Primero 3620 automatic calibre with a 60-hour power reserve, visible through a rare exhibition case back.
Meanwhile, the vintage-inspired DEFY Revival Diver pays homage to Zenith’s 1969 A3648 model, reimagined with a compact 37mm case, yellow-tinted sapphire bezel insert, and screw-down crown at 4:30. Powered by the Elite 670 automatic movement, it offers a 50-hour reserve and sleek visibility of the decorated calibre through the back. Both timepieces feature matte black dials enhanced by yellow accents and Super-LumiNova, combining technical prowess with a stealthy, architectural aesthetic. These DEFY Divers blend heritage and innovation with precision and style.
