Ulysse Nardin revives its 2009 Moonstruck concept inside the 45mm Blast case in rose gold and black DLC titanium. The in-house UN-106 calibre links a 40.3-year-accurate moonphase, lunar calendar, tides, a worldtimer and Sun/Moon positions into one domed celestial display — 20 pieces at around US$116,000.
Bovet's first watch it calls a "true GMT" sets the second time zone via a left-flank pusher and stages it alongside an elevated flying tourbillon, in a 42 mm case with an in-house 375-part, 10-day movement. Limited to 60 pieces each in titanium (CHF 150,000) and red gold (CHF 175,000).
Frederique Constant introduces its first-ever solar movement, the calibre FC-120, in the new Classics Moneta Solarmetre.

Wrapped in a 39 mm coin-edge steel case with translucent ice-blue, burgundy or cloud-white dials, it costs £995 / CHF 1,150 — with a Milanese bracelet included on two of the three references.
Glashütte Original's annual Sixties Chronograph turns purple for 2026 — a translucent hand-lacquered galvanic dial over hand-galvanised gold, manually incised hour markers, and the brand's in-house Calibre 39-34 with a swan-neck-regulated three-quarter plate, all in a 42 mm polished-steel case. Reference 1-39-34-08-22-04, priced at USD 10,000, available now from May 2026 for one year only before leaving the catalogue. The most dial-craft-intensive annual chronograph the manufacture has produced since 2021.
Ming Thein replaces traditional hands with two linearly-polarised sapphire discs — when they align, the iridescent multiphasic dial reveals itself; when they cross at 90°, it blacks out completely. Schwarz-Etienne ASE 200.M1 micro-rotor inside a 40 mm grade-5 titanium case. CHF 22,000, limited to 50 pieces.
