Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication – La Première

This year is quite the anniversary for Vacheron Constantin, with the brand turning 270 years old. To mark the occasion appropriately, the Geneva-based manufacture created the mighty Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication – La Première, took eight years to create and is the most complicated wristwatch ever with 41 functions, including a celestial object tracker. Powered by the cal. 3655 with 1521 pieces and 13 patents, it measures 45mm by 14.99mm thick. Despite its size, it exemplifies micro-mechanics and miniaturization. The movement, Calibre 3655, is 36mm by 10.96mm thick and features 14 astronomical complications, five chiming complications, and a split-second chronograph. The rear displays constellations in real-time, with a complex front dial showing cities, astronomical signs, sunrise, sunset, and moon phases. Transparent caseback features months and constellations.

Patek Philippe Reference 5328G Calatrava

The new Patek Philippe Reference 5328G Calatrava is a remarkable eight-day watch with the impressive caliber 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J inside. It shares design similarities with the 5236G travel time, featuring a hobnailed case, syringe hands, and a textured dial. Notably, it has an instantaneous jumping day and date display, and a large power reserve indicator showcasing an incredible eight-day reserve, accomplished by two barrels connected in series, with a ninth day in reserve. The movement is powered by the Patek Philippe Pulsomax in Silinvar, originally from the 'advanced research' watches. The watch is 41mm in diameter, 10.52mm thick, and water-resistant up to 30 meters. It comes with two straps: one in calfskin and another in blue calfskin fabric, plus a grained taupe strap, all with a new butterfly clasp.

The blue dial displays two on-trend details with its grained matte surface and gradient effect transitioning to a more saturated, almost black tone on the periphery. The day function is shown in an aperture placed inside the date sub-dial indicated by a hand at 6 o’clock; the day and date displays jump instantaneously at midnight. 

Roger Dubuis, Excalibur Grande Complication

The Grande Complication is a watch with at least three extra functions, and the Excalibur Grande Complication is a stunning example of this, celebrating the Maison’s 30th anniversary. First introduced in 2009, this timepiece showcases the brand's commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and excellence. A tribute to founder Roger Dubuis, who dreamed of creating unique watches, this model features a perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and tourbillon, earning the prestigious Poinçon de Genève. The 45mm case is crafted from pink gold, complemented by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating and water resistance up to 50m. The dial, with its black and white design, boasts a polished slope and calendar display, while the gold-plated hour markers add a touch of elegance.

To match its exceptional design, the Excalibur comes with a premium brown calf leather strap, designed to complement both the case and movement. It also features an interchangeable Quick Release System for convenience. The finishing touch is the 18K pink gold triple-folding buckle clasp, a perfect blend of sophistication and practicality.

This timepiece is a true celebration of the Maison’s legacy and innovation.

The Reverso Hybris Artistica Gyrotourbillon and the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater.

Jaeger-LeCoultre unveils two stunning timepieces: the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater and the Reverso Hybris Artistica Gyrotourbillon. The Gyrotourbillon isn’t brand new but is a reimagined design from 2023, showcasing complex, breathtaking craftsmanship. The Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater, however, introduces a new, over-engineered hand-wound movement. Its blue enamel dial features a hand-guilloché barley-seed pattern, taking 12 hours to create in the Métiers Rares workshop, while the reverse is skeletonized to reveal the movement. Both dials display the same time, with the minute repeater trigger above the crown on the 18k pink gold case (51.1 x 31 mm x 12.6 mm).

The new Calibre 953 movement includes seven patents, such as crystal gongs for clearer sound and silent-interval elimination for seamless chiming. The power reserve is 48 hours, and the price is $299,000.

Reverso Hybris Artistica Gyrotourbillon

The Reverso Hybris Artistica Gyrotourbillon features the Calibre 179 movement, known for its multi-axis tourbillon. Now in 18k white gold, with a skeletonized back and blue lacquer front, it has a second-time-zone indicator on the reverse dial. Produced in a limited edition of 10 pieces, the watch is priced at $565,000.

The Tank à Guichets Returns to Cartier Privé Collection

One of Cartier’s most iconic and unique Tank watches is back in the Cartier Privé Collection. Known for its shaped watches, Cartier’s Tank is a signature design, and the Tank à Guichets is one of the most unconventional models in the brand’s history. After being sporadically produced, it returns for Watches and Wonders 2025.

History of the Tank à Guichets

Introduced in 1928, the Tank à Guichets was a radical departure from traditional designs. Inspired by the Art Deco era, it replaced a traditional dial with a sleek, gold case featuring two small apertures for the time: one for the hours and one for the minutes. The design was futuristic and distinct, with a flat, brushed gold surface and a crown at 12 o'clock. Over the years, Cartier reinterpreted the Tank à Guichets in various forms, including limited editions in the 1990s and 2000s, most notably the 1997 and 2005 models.

2025 Tank à Guichets

The 2025 Tank à Guichets retains its classic design but with updated proportions. Measuring 24.8mm in width and 37.6mm in length, the new version has thinner, more curved brancards and a slightly elongated profile. The watch maintains its traditional "closed" look, with two time apertures on a brushed gold/platinum case and polished bevels for added refinement. The crown is back at 12 o'clock, just like the original 1928 model, though the absence of the separating bevel from the brancards is a design change.

Three versions of the watch will be available: a yellow gold model with green accents, a rose gold version, and a platinum edition with a burgundy strap. All maintain the signature jumping hour and dragging minute indications on Art Deco-inspired discs.

Limited Edition Twist

In addition to the three standard versions, a 200-piece limited edition will feature a unique design, with the hour aperture at 10 o'clock and the minute aperture rotated 90 degrees at 4 o'clock. This unconventional design is sure to stand out among collectors.

The 2025 Tank à Guichets continues Cartier's legacy of blending history and innovation, offering both classic and bold new interpretations of an iconic watch.

The New Panerai Luminor Marina Collection in Steel

Panerai’s legacy dates back to 1860, but it was its contract with the Italian Royal Navy that transformed the brand. Known for producing precision instruments, Panerai became famous for its luminous watches, especially after introducing the Luminor in 1949, replacing radium with tritium. By 1993, the Luminor was available to civilians, and it has since become a flagship collection.The new Luminor Marina models in stainless steel offer enhanced water resistance (500 meters), improved luminosity, and a new 3-day automatic movement. The signature crown-protecting bridge now contributes to the watch’s higher water-resistance rating. Thanks to the slimmer, more compact movement, the 44mm case is 12% thinner and 15% lighter, enhancing comfort and wearability. The case is made from AISI 316LVM steel, known for its durability and corrosion resistance.

The sandwich dial, treated with Super-LumiNova X2, is 10% brighter than previous versions, with new bevelled numerals and reduced inscriptions for a cleaner look. Inside, the new P.980 automatic caliber features a 3-day power reserve, stop-seconds, and a frequency of 28,800vph. The PAM Click Release System allows for tool-free strap changes, and the new V-shaped bracelet design offers quick length adjustments.

There are four new models: a light blue dial (PAM03323) on a V-shaped bracelet, a black dial (PAM03312) with a black alligator strap, a white dial (PAM03314) with an alligator strap, and a dark blue dial (PAM03313) with a blue strap. Each model includes a complimentary rubber strap. Prices start at EUR 8,900 for the leather strap models and EUR 9,900 for the steel bracelet model.

Piaget Sixtie

Piaget’s new Sixtie brings bold design back with its trapezoidal case, a nod to the brand’s experimental 1960s era when Piaget merged horology with fashion. This was the same time that icons like Andy Warhol wore Piaget's unconventional styles, including a gadrooned model that inspired this release.

The Sixtie measures 29mm by 25.3mm and is just 6.5mm thick, thanks to a slim quartz movement and Piaget's ultra-thin watchmaking expertise. Designed with women in mind, its unique geometry—rounded corners, subtle asymmetry, and a mix of brushed and polished surfaces—makes it a collector’s favorite. Available in stainless steel, 18k 4N pink gold, or a two-tone combination, two models feature bezels set with 51 diamonds (0.52 ct).

The white solar satin-brushed dial, with vertical brushing, evokes Piaget’s 1970s designs. The clean layout includes baton hands, golden hour markers, and Roman numerals. The fluid bracelet, made from interlaced trapezoid-shaped links, integrates perfectly with the case, while the hidden folding clasp adds security and seamless style.

Water-resistant to 5 ATM, the Sixtie is a stunning, sleek timepiece that combines striking design with everyday wearability.
