Geneva is once again the epicentre of horology as Watches & Wonders 2025 unfolds and brings the industry’s finest together for a week of innovation, craftsmanship and heritage. From technical marvels to artistic flourishes, each day offers something new to discover, making this edition one to watch. Here are today’s highlights from H. Moser & Cie., Baume et Mercier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and more
H. Moser & Cie.
H. Moser & Cie. showcases the breadth of its vision for 2026 with a confident slate of additions, from the Reebok-collaborated Streamliner Pump to a masterfully reduced perpetual calendar forged in tantalum.
Drawing inspiration from Reebok’s iconic 1980s sneakers, the former replaces the traditional crown with an orange pusher at 8 o’clock that serves as a direct callback to the shoes. Measuring 40mm with a profile of 11.4mm, both the black and white colourways are made in forged quartz fibre materials. Limited editions of 250 pieces, both models also come with an exclusive Reebok Pump sneaker.
The latter, meanwhile, takes the Streamline’s already streamlined design to its most minimalistic expression. Completely stripped down to the complete essentials, this wath allows both the unique material and the refined complication to take centre stage. Measuring 42mm and powered by the manually wound HMC 800 manufacture calibre, both the case and the sunburst-finished dial are crafted exclusively in tantalum.
But the technological pièce de résistance from Moser this year is the Endeavor Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, which unites three of watchmaking’s most demanding expressions: a fully skeletonised architecture, a minute repeater brought dial-side and a flying tourbillon equipped with a cylindrical hairspring.
And finally, on the other end of the spectrum, there’s a new time-only Streamliner with frosted fumé dials. Sized at 34m and 28mm, it’s the brand’s smallest take on its staple Streamline yet.
Roger Dubuis
Roger Dubuis returns to the biretrograde for Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026, reasserting one of the maison’s most defining signatures through two new calendar-focused watches.
The first is the Excalibur Biretrograde Calendar. Housed in a 40mm steel case, it combines the maison’s patented biretrograde display with a sporty, contemporary aesthetic. The striking Cosmic Blue dial, with its layered construction, adds unexpected depth and dimension. Powering the watch is the automatic RD840 calibre, visible through the sapphire caseback and finished to meet the demands of the Poinçon de Genève.
The second is the Excalibur Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar, driven by the new in-house RD850 calibre with a 60-hour power reserve. The movement is adorned with 19 different finishes, while the dial is composed of nine unique layers, including Astral Blue mother-of-pearl discs and counters with polished bevels, a brushed and coated main plate and leap year indicator, an aventurine moonphase disc with a domed 18K pink gold moon, and retrograde bridges with internally angled finishing.
Bremont
Building upon a legacy defined by air, sea and land, Bremont ascends to the cosmos with the debut of the Supernova collection.
The collection launches with the Supernova Chronograph, created in collaboration with American aerospace company Astrolab. The timepiece is destined to fly aboard Astrolab’s FLIP (FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform) rover as part of Astrobotic’s Griffin Mission One (Griffin-1), scheduled to land at the lunar south pole no earlier than summer 2026. In preparation, the watch has undergone rigorous testing at Astrolab’s facilities.
The 41mm case is a geometric take on Bremont’s signature “Trip-Tick” case architecture, in 904L steel – a material known for strong corrosion resistance and long-term durability – with a DLC-coated middle section and a decahedral black ceramic bezel. Designed to reference the illusion of movement through space, the dial glows from beneath, with a perforated black galvanic grid set over over a full blue-emission Super-LumiNova base.
The watch is available on an integrated 904L steel bracelet or a rubber strap. Both use quick-release systems, allowing easy strap changes without tools.
Oris
For Watches & Wonders 2026, Oris brings back the Artelier collection while paying tribute to one of the most meaningful chapters in its history with the launch of the new Oris Star Edition. Their first in-house lever escapement movement, the Oris Star came in 1966, after Oris’s now honorary chairman Dr Rolf Portmann fought against limitations on Swiss watchmaking that were unintentionally established in the 1930s, during the Great Depression.
Now, the Star Edition revival represents the same ideals, but with modern finesse. Sized at 35mm, the steel watch features a very vintage size. Inside is the Oris Calibre 733, an automatic movement essentially a Sellita SW-200 with 41 hours of power reserve. The watch also has 50m of water resistance and a sunburst dial and chamfered, sloping edges.
Adding to the elegance of Oris’s contemporary offerings is the new timepiece from the updated Artelier collection. Called the Artelier Complication, the watch arrives in a 39.5mm stainless case. The dial is subtly finished, with a smooth chapter ring making way to a softly grained centre dial, surrounded by modern applied indices and a slender but legible handset. The movement is the Calibre 782, with all the functions adjusted via the crown or a single recessed pusher on the right case flank. The Artelier Complication is launched in six versions: leather or bracelet versions of three dials – ivory, midnight blue or chestnut.
Frederique Constant
This year, Frederique Constant presents three updated versions of the Classic Manufacture Worldtimer – one of the brand’s most iconic models. Housed in a newly designed 40mm stainless steel case, measuring 12.53mm thick and with 20mm lugs, the watches now offer much more modern, wearable dimensions. The dial has also been redesigned by omitting the date display previously positioned at 6 o’clock, allowing the characteristic world map motif to stand out with greater clarity and elegance.
The other big update is the movement inside. The calibre FC-718 seen in previous versions has been updated and lives on as the FC-719. The ability to operate the world time functionality via the crown remains, as does the automatic winding and the 28,800 bph beat rate. The biggest improvement is the increase in power reserve, going from 38 hours in the previous versions to 72 hours in the new FC-719, made possible by a longer mainspring and a revised alloy. The movement is finished with sunburst Côtes de Genève, circular graining and a gold-toned rotor with snailed and grained finishes.
With this redesign, Frederique Constant saw fit to release a special edition. Limited to 88 pieces – a nod to the watchmaker’s founding year – this version features 70 diamonds on the bezel and 12 diamond-set hour markers that lend a luxurious touch to the sky-blue dial. It is surrounded by a white hour ring and a 24-hour ring in white and light blue to clearly distinguish between day and night.
Meanwhile, the two non-limited editions feature blue as a defining design element. The first features a blue dial paired with a contrasting blue and light blue outer ring for the 24-hour scale, while the second has a darker, navy blue dial with a matching city chapter ring and the 24-hour ring in blue and white. This model is complemented by a new five-link stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly deployant clasp and quick-release spring bars.
Baume et Mercier
This year, Baume et Mercier presents two distinct yet complementary collections that capture the spirit of wonder: Joia de Baume & Mercier and Riviera 73.
Baume & Mercier’s longstanding association with the world of women’s watches dates to 1918 when Paul Mercier joined forces with William Baume. Together, they made the pertinent observation that women of the time were indicating a clear interest in watches, and were intent on more than telling the time. Soon after, the brand began creating ladies’ timepieces, including striking jewellery watches that highlighted the strong, independent modern woman who was determined to break away from convention while maintaining her femininity. The new Joia de Baume & Mercier lineup continues to honour this same legacy.
Among the four models of the new collection, the limited-production Ref. M0A10850 stands out for deftly bridging the worlds of heritage and modernity. Designed as an object of desire, the 24mm jewellery watch draws inspiration from a historical piece dating back to the 1980s. The beauty of the model is further elevated by the 40 diamonds studded in the bezel and the silvery dial with criss-crossed satin-brushed finishes, which echo its flattened-link strap decoration.
Since its launch in 1973, the Riviera has stood out for its unique silhouette that combines modernity and elegance in equal measure. The collection’s signature dodecagonal case brought a bold geometry to watchmaking of the time. The new Riviera 73 carries forward the spirit of the iconic lineup by reinterpreting the aesthetic ethos of the first generation of the Riviera launched in 1973. The new references offer a refined, contemporary interpretation of its heritage.
The three new timepieces (M0A10844, M0A10845 and M0A10845) are all housed within 39mm cases, and are powered by a quartz movement (ETA F06.115). Like the original, the dodecagonal bezel adds an elegant yet bold appeal to the watch. On the caseback, each model features the engraving “73” among vertical stripes, evoking the deck of a boat, and a typography inspired by the 1970s, a discreet signature that echoes the collection’s origins.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre’s 2026 novelties are a masterclass in precision and rare craftsmanship, reaffirming the brand’s position at the pinnacle of watchmaking for nearly two centuries.
Among the key models is the Gyrotourbillon À Stratosphère, which features a new patented triple-axis tourbillon engineered to negate the effects of gravity in 98% of positions. The Master Hybris Mechanica Ultra Thin Minute Repeater Tourbillon introduces what the brand describes as the thinnest automatic minute repeater tourbillon, while the Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Jumping Date returns with an updated movement architecture that includes a cutaway at 9 o’clock revealing the “papillon” mechanism in action.
Alongside its technical focus, Jaeger-LeCoultre also presented new pieces highlighting its Métiers Rares™ capabilities. Continuing its homage to Hokusai, one of Japan’s most influential 19th-century artists, the maison completes their Reverso Tribute Enamel Hokusai Waterfalls cycle by releasing the final four designs in the eight-artwork A Tour of the Waterfalls of the Provinces series. Each limited to 10 pieces, these watches showcase a miniature enamel reproduction of Hokusai’s work on the caseback, crafted painstakingly from 14 layers of enamel. On the front, the primary dial features a guilloché engraving coated with enamel – a technique known as flinqué.
Similar to the Hokusai editions but more feminine is the haute jewellery La Vallée Des Merveilles Reverso One series. It’s an artistic ode to Pacific islands showing flora and fauna from Japan and Hawaii, building a bridge across the great ocean. Two of them show a humming bird visiting a hibiscus flower, while the third shows a crane with cherry blossom.
