We wouldn’t go as far as to say that there’s something fundamentally different about the way Jiro Katayama approaches watchmaking. After all, industrial design, be it cars, instruments, or machinery, has inspired and defined quite a few independents. Still, most start from horology and branch outward, yet the mind behind Otsuka Lotec comes directly from […]

This year marked my second year at Watches and Wonders, and guess what: I enjoyed 2026 a lot more than the previous year. In fact, if I include Geneva Watch Days and historic Baselworld visits, this year was a standout. While I didn’t walk away with any must-haves on my list, I relaxed a bit […] Visit Fresh From The Fair: Mike’s Favorite Watches And Wonders 2026 Releases to read the full article.

IWC has spent ninety years building watches for aviation. Pilot's watches—purpose-built, legible, robust— are among the most consistent expressions of the brand's identity. The new Pilot's Venturer Vertical Drive presented at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 does not extend that tradition so much as it uses it as a launch point for something categorically different.

The Santos-Dumont has always lived at the elegant end of the Cartier canon, dressier than the Santos de Cartier, closer in spirit to the original 1904 commission for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Until now, it has been primarily a strap watch. For Watches and Wonders 2026, Cartier introduces three Large Model Santos-Dumont references fitted with a new metal bracelet.

Get ready for a wave of L.U.C watches that Chopard presented during Watches and Wonders 2026.

For a decade now, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud has built its reputation on a deliberate paradox: movements of extraordinary complexity visible only through the case back, partially through the dial, and via portholes on the caseband. A way in which the beauty of the movement remains somewhat mysterious and reserved for the wearer.

The Slim d'Hermès collection has always been Hermès Horloger's argument for restraint as mastery—thin, measured, and disciplined in a way that the H08 expressly is not. The Slim d'Hermès Squelette Lune, which we first covered ahead of Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, debuted in new titanium and platinum executions in early 2026 and was then shown at the Hermès booth at the fair.

Perpetual calendars, pumping power reserves, and mysterious takes on classic functionality make this year's shortlist. More

Of the new Piaget Andy Warhol references unveiled at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, it is the Lapis Lazuli ref. G0A51244 that will likely hold the longest in memory. It is not the most extravagant in the lineup, as that territory belongs to the diamond-set Bronzite Andy Warhol piece—but it is the one that most successfully balances the collection's inherent drama with a sense of collector-appropriate restraint.

More importantly, it is time to focus on the major trends that emerged, both during the show itself and through the launches surrounding it. Beyond individual releases, this year’s edition confirmed […]
