MB&F returns to its award-winning chronograph with the LM Sequential Flyback EVO, refining a movement that claimed the Aiguille d’Or in 2022. Designed by Stephen McDonnell and developed under Maximilian Büsser’s direction, the calibre now adds flyback functionality within a titanium EVO case, with key components produced by specialist partners including Chronode, Bandi and HorloFab, while Atokalpa supplies the balance wheel. With twin chronographs, Twinverter control and improved durability, it delivers a timing system built for real-world use

20 years after the Big Bang disrupted Swiss watchmaking, Hublot has comprehensively reworked its defining model. The Big Bang Original Unico pairs the manufacture’s in-house chronograph movement with refined 43mm proportions across four material variants. CEO Julien Tornare describes it as the best version yet, honouring the 2005 original whilst delivering genuine manufacture credentials through the Unico calibre’s five patented innovations

The Expérimentale 1 brings Breguet’s most advanced research to the wrist. A 10 Hz tourbillon with magnetic constant-force escapement operates with exceptional consistency, while a regulator-style display and fully visible movement highlight the craft behind every detail. Limited and precise, it bridges 250 years of horological heritage with a quietly confident vision of the future

Twenty years after its debut, OMEGA’s Planet Ocean returns with a thoughtful, confident redesign. The fourth generation pares back to the original 42mm case, incorporates modern materials, and sharpens its design language, resulting in a watch that feels lighter, slimmer, and more capable than ever. Familiar yet refreshed, it reaffirms the Planet Ocean’s status as a modern classic

Breguet marks 250 years with two remarkable additions to its Reine de Naples collection. The Crazy Flower features 436 mobile diamonds that flow with the wrist, whilst the Perles Impériales showcases lustrous Akoya pearls against Brazilian opal. Both house the slim calibre 586/1 movement, proving that technical horology and high jewellery can achieve something rather special together

Audemars Piguet stole the spotlight at Geneva’s 2025 horology awards, with the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar in sand gold earning the coveted Iconic Watch prize. Celebrating 150 years of craft, the Swiss maison wowed the jury with five patented innovations, a sleek design, and a complication that makes one of watchmaking’s most complex mechanisms surprisingly intuitive, with comment from Ilaria Resta, Chief Executive Officer of Audemars Piguet

Approaching the Milano Cortina 2026, OMEGA unveils the Speedmaster Milano Cortina 2026. The 38mm polished steel case, blue ceramic bezel, and frost-finished dial with azurage subdials combine elegance with winter-inspired character. Powered by the Co-Axial Calibre 3330, this chronograph delivers precision, practicality, and a subtle nod to the Games

The MB&F HM11 Art Deco transforms the brand’s signature architectural watch into a geometric, Art Deco expression. Limited to just twenty pieces, the 42mm titanium case houses four functional chambers and a central flying tourbillon. Sunburst dials, stepped profiles, translucent enamel hands, and a rotating-case winding system showcase technical sophistication and sculptural design in a compact, collectible wristwatch

Swiss watchmaker Hublot has joined forces with American artist Daniel Arsham to create the MP-17 Meca-10 Arsham Splash Titanium Sapphire, a limited edition of 99 pieces. Combining Arsham’s “fictional archaeology” vision with Hublot’s technical mastery, the watch blends sculptural form, innovative materials, and skeletonised mechanics. CEO Julien Tornare describes the collaboration as “a discovery of new design and perception.”
