Rolex Land-Dweller

There’s a reason Rolex remains the biggest attraction at Watches and Wonders year after year. This time, the brand introduces the Rolex Land-Dweller, a significant leap in movement technology. After seven years of development, the timepiece has led to 32 patent applications, 18 of which are exclusive to this model.

Powering the Land-Dweller is Rolex’s entirely new self-winding Caliber 7135, visible through the sapphire case back. The movement introduces several innovations, with 16 patent applications filed, particularly for the escapement and oscillator. Aesthetically, the Land-Dweller reinterprets the integrated bracelet style, marking Rolex’s bold return to the integrated bracelet sports watch arena.

Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication

Vacheron Constantin has once again stolen the headlines with the most complicated wristwatch ever made. Following on from 2024, when the Swiss brand unveiled an incredible pocket watch (whose pocket it could fit in was an open question) with 63 complications, this Ultra Grand Complication breaks more world records and outdoes its predecessor for convenience. This watch packs 41 complications and needed eight years of development and 13 patented inventions to come to fruition. Consider the fact that the watch measures only 45mm by 14.99mm thick, and the technological achievement becomes clear. The watch looks nothing out of the ordinary on the wrist. Like last year’sc, this watch was a one-of-one commission.

A. Lange & Söhne Minute Repeater Perpetual

The Saxon powerhouse A. Lange & Söhne presents the Minute Repeater Perpetual, a remarkable fusion of a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar. Limited to 50 pieces, this 40.5mm by 12.1mm platinum timepiece features a striking four-piece black enamel dial and Lange’s signature big date display.

The Minute Repeater Perpetual is powered by the newly developed manual-winding Caliber L122.2. Movement consists of 640 components, including a hand-engraved balance cock and a three-quarter plate in untreated German silver with black rhodium engravings. A sapphire caseback reveals its intricate craftsmanship and a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap with a platinum deployant buckle enhances the watch’s refined aesthetic.

Cartier Tank à Guichets

For Watches and Wonders 2025, Cartier revives one of its most distinctive and unconventional Tank models. The French jeweler-watchmaker presents the Cartier Privé Tank à Guichets, a modern take on the rare 1928 design, featuring a new movement while staying true to its original form.

The limited-edition platinum version measures 37.6 x 24.8mm with a sleek 6mm profile. Like the original, the crown sits at 12 o’clock, but the display has been reinterpreted: the jumping hour aperture is now at 10 o’clock, while the wandering minutes appear at 4 o’clock in a driver-style layout. Limited to 200 pieces, it is powered by the new hand-wound 9755 MC jump hour caliber. Additional models in yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum maintain the classic Tank à Guichets configuration and the gold versions feature black numerals and tracks, while the platinum editions use maroon lettering.

Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar

Vacheron Constantin unveils the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar, a celebration of its 270th anniversary. Limited to 127 pieces, the watch is housed in a 42mm by 11.1mm platinum case and features the new in-house Caliber 2162 QP/270. Based on Caliber 2160, this ultra-thin self-winding movement integrates a tourbillon and a perpetual calendar requiring no adjustment until 2100. A peripheral rotor enhances the view of the côte unique bridge finish and anniversary engraving. Beating at 18,000 vph, it offers a 72-hour power reserve and a patented secure drive system, allowing safe bidirectional calendar adjustments.

Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Quantième Perpétuel

Parmigiani Fleurier enhances its reputation for delivering supremely minimalist dials with its unique take on the perpetual calendar. This sleek Toric displays the day, date, month, moon phase and leap year in two cleverly designed sub-registers. The watch is available in gold and platinum, but both are limited to just 50 pieces. The hand-grained dials come in powder blue (platinum) and rose gold (gold).

TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph F1

Doubling down on its recent reaffiliation with Formula 1, TAG Heuer continues its efforts to propel its iconic Monaco model into the realms of haute horology. This new interpretation of the split-second chronograph contains the same in-house Calibre TH81-00 movement, which allows for the measurement of two time intervals simultaneously. The two chronograph counters are inscribed with F1 commentator David Croft’s famous phrase “Lights out and away we go”.

Chopard L’Heure du Diamant Moonphase

A high jewelry moon phase watch is one of the most impressive expressions of ladies’ watchmaking, mixing a poetic complication with sizeable diamonds.

Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon

For its debut at Watches and Wonders, Bulgari sets another ultra-thin record with the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon — the thinnest tourbillon ever produced at just 1.85mm thick, marking Bulgari’s 10th world record in ultra-thin watchmaking. The 40mm titanium case integrates an ultra-hard tungsten carbide mainplate/caseback, partially skeletonized to highlight the movement. Instead of a traditional crown, two horizontal steel knobs on either side of the case handle winding and time setting.

Chanel J12 Bleu X-Ray

Chanel has marked the 25th anniversary of its J12 line with a new line-up of blue editions. While the main headlines go to the new matte ceramic versions, which took five years of development to perfect, this new X-Ray limited edition is equally stunning. The case and bracelet are carved from a single block of synthetic sapphire, taking 1,600 hours of work for each watch (no wonder Chanel are limiting this to just 12 pieces).  The bezel and links have been set with 196 bright blue baguette-cut natural sapphires, creating a constant sparkle inspired by the ocean on a sunny day. The indicators are also baguette-cut natural sapphires.

Piaget Swinging Sautoir

Piaget continues to dazzle with its Swinging Sautoir creations, which allow wearers to swap their watch face from timepiece to necklace.  The necklace includes a 17-carat cushion-cut pink spinel and a 12.57-carat white opal. The pendant watch is set with yellow and white diamonds and has a deep red dial carved from ruby root. You can wear the watch pendant on the necklace to create a showstopping piece or detach it to make two separate pieces with the burgundy satin strap.
