Zenith inaugurates its new Double Signed Program by pairing the legendary observatory Calibre 135 with Tokyo independent Naoya Hida & Co. The result is a 39.15 mm platinum chronometer with a hand-engraved solid-silver dial filled with blue urushi lacquer — limited to just 10 pieces at CHF 58,900.
Daniel Roth's slim ellipsocurvex Extra-Plat enters platinum for the first time under La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, paired with a grey dial decorated with hand-engraved pinstripe guilloché — the most monochromatic and arguably the most 'Daniel Roth' execution of the revival yet.
The third watch from Canadian independent Bradley Taylor — and his first with an in-house movement. The Ardea introduces a refined retrograde-seconds display, solid-platinum applied numerals each individually milled and polished by hand, and the in-house Calibre 475RS, of which roughly 80% of components are made by Taylor himself. Limited to 50 pieces; first reservations open in 2028.
L. Leroy — one of the oldest names in French watchmaking, founded in Paris in 1785 — opens the second chapter of its modern revival with the Elyor: a 42 mm tambour-cased flying tourbillon, equipped with the brand's first-ever micro-rotor calibre, in three executions of grade 5 titanium, platinum 950, and 18k 5N gold. The watch's name itself is a piece of horological history — the anagram L. Leroy used during the French Revolution to disguise its signature.
Patek refreshes its flagship in-line perpetual calendar for Watches & Wonders 2026 with a silvery-grey vertical-satin dial and a black peripheral gradient, replacing both the 2021 blue and the 2024 salmon editions.

Bulgari's world-record-breaking Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon returns for W&W 2026 as a 10-piece platinum limited edition (ref. 104344). Still 1.85mm of total thickness, still the in-house BVF 900 4 Hz tourbillon — now with a platinum case and cool-blue openworked dial.
Vacheron Constantin unveils the Calibre 2550 at Watches & Wonders 2026 — a 2.4mm automatic movement with a platinum micro-rotor, double barrel, and 80-hour power reserve that took seven years to engineer. Debuting in a 7.35mm platinum Overseas case, it is the most technically significant new in-house ultra-thin automatic in a generation.
Patek Philippe elevates the Cubitus to grand complication status with the 5840P — a perpetual calendar skeleton in platinum that pairs the collection's daring square geometry with the all-new Calibre 28-28 Q SQU. At CHF 150,000 and 10mm thin, it is both technically ambitious and visually unlike anything else in the Patek catalogue.

Rexhepi's first eponymous chronograph — a 9.7mm thin flyback with column wheel, horizontal clutch, jumping minutes, and a new in-house escapement. CHF 150,000.
