Vacheron Constantin presents two very different watches centred on the theme of travel and exploration in its 2026 novelties. The Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points is made for the collector always on the go, with four compass-inspired dial colours, accentuated by the grain finish, and a sleek titanium silhouette that feels quietly adventurous.

The Égérie Moon Phase Spring Blossom, meanwhile, is softer and more romantic: a pink mother-of-pearl dial and a hand-painted strap with sakura flowers that sits somewhere between couture and high watchmaking.

Patek Philippe marks 50 years of the Nautilus by doing what it does best: refinement and just enough drama to make collectors lose sleep. The anniversary line-up keeps the famous ship porthole-inspired design clean and elegant, with an ultra-thin case measuring 6.9mm, available in white gold or platinum, plus an unexpected desk clock that turns the Nautilus into an objet d’art that will certainly delight every connoisseur.

Hublot came into Watches and Wonders 2026 with energy and a high-impact sense of fun. The Big Bang Reloaded sharpens the brand’s signature openworked style, making the watch feel bolder, moodier and more architectural, while the Big Bang Joyful Steel Purple brings a brighter beat with its violet strap, amethyst-set bezel and playful colour story. Together, they show the two sides of Hublot: technical bravado for the maximalist, and gemstone savoir faire for those who like their wristwear with extra bling.

Roger Dubuis leaned fully into the small watch trend at Watches and Wonders this year with the Excalibur Lady of the Lake, a 36mm rose-gold watch inspired by Viviane, guardian of Excalibur. Its green mother-of-pearl mosaic dial ripples like enchanted water, complete with a moonstone seconds indicator and a diamond-set fluted bezel.

The manufacture also produced two feminine Excalibur creations that feel more spellbound than traditional. The new Excalibur Brocéliande reimagines the mythical forest of Arthurian lore in two 38mm rose-gold models—Dawn Rose and Twilight Blue—where engraved mother-of-pearl ivy leaves and sapphire discs reate the effect of a forest stirred by wind.

H.Moser & Cie. and Reebok may not be the most expected pairing, but the Streamliner Pump makes the case for luxury with a sense of humour. The collaboration translates Reebok’s cult ’80s Pump sneaker gesture into mechanical watchmaking: instead of a traditional crown, an orange anodised aluminium pusher winds the movement with each press. One pump delivers more than an hour of power reserve, while the mechanism can still be pressed even when fully wound. The limited edition watches are available in black or white forged quartz fibre, which is light, tactile and graphic, and equipped with an integrated rubber strap.

With the high watchmaking capabilities of La Fabrique du Temps, Louis Vuitton continues to push the boundaries of the craft, especially with its most recent Tambour Taiko Arty Automata. The 42mm white gold case with a swirl of pastel colours as a backdrop is an artisanal canvas for seven animated elements, including an eye with dramatic lashes made of real feathers and a pair of red lips with pearly whites on the dial to dance together in whimsical glory with a single touch by the wearer. This technical marvel also houses a one-minute tourbillon to ensure the utmost accuracy.

Jacob & Co. marks its 40th anniversary with the Angel Cut—a proprietary and patented diamond cut conceived entirely in-house and named after Angela, the wife of founder Jacob Arabo. This unique cut, with a lozenge-shaped tablet, features 37 precise facets—one for every year the couple has been married—which preserve the elegance of a rectangular diamond while improving the light reflecting and refracting through the stone, making it even more brilliant. Accompanying the debut of this cut, the brand also launched the Billionaire Double Tourbillon Angel Cut, featuring exclusive diamonds covering the case and dial.

Vacheron Constantin’s Titanium Beauty

Vacheron Constantin updates its Overseas collection with a titanium tourbillon model with all the same design cues as previous iterations, except for a pop of colour on the dial. The deep red hue adds a lovely contrast against the greyish tones of the titanium case and bracelet, which is notably 30 percent stronger than steel and weighs half as much, making it a great daily driver. The watch also comes with two additional rubber straps in red or white, which can be easily changed without tools.
