Every spring, the watch world holds its breath—and Watches & Wonders delivers. 2025 was no exception. Although the event may be over, its impact? Still ticking strong. We may not have walked the halls of Geneva this year, but we were glued to every reveal, drop, and whispered surprise like kids in a candy store.

From heritage revivals to record-breaking feats of micro-engineering, this year felt like a celebration of both the past and the future—wrapped neatly around our wrists. Legacy brands came in swinging, independents brought their A-game, and a few surprise drops turned more than a few heads. We saw ultra-thin tourbillons, rugged GMTs, refined minute repeaters, and even a new Rolex no one saw coming.

We sifted through it all—specs, wrist shots, live streams, and collector chatter—to highlight the 25 standout watches that truly defined the show. No fluff, no filler—just timepieces that impressed, intrigued, and maybe even stirred a little envy. So buckle up—these are the 25 best watch releases from Watches & Wonders 2025, and trust us, you’ll want to see every single one.

• Best Overall Watch: Patek Philippe Calatrava 8-Day
• Best Dress Watch: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater
• Best Sports Watch: Rolex Land-Dweller
• Best Value: Tudor Pelagos Ultra
• Thinnest Watch: Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon

Our favourites are just the start. Let’s check out the entire list.

The first one on our list sets the tone perfectly. Angelus made a strong impression this year with the Chronographe Télémètre in yellow gold, featuring a white-nickel domed dial, and honestly, we couldn’t stop staring. It’s got that rare charm—a blend of 1940s elegance and modern mechanical finesse that feels as sharp today as it did eighty years ago.

The dial is a love letter to classic chronographs, featuring crisp scales, Arabic numerals, and leaf hands that captivate with every glance. Beneath all that vintage charm lies serious watchmaking: a manual-winding flyback chronograph movement (Calibre A5000) housed in a compact 37 mm case, just 9.25 mm thick. Limited to only 15 pieces, this piece isn’t just rare—it’s the kind of release that quietly reminds us why we fell in love with watches in the first place.

Next up is an absolute show‑stopper. Arnold & Son honoured its roots and one of the greatest watchmakers in history—John Arnold—by pairing a constant-force mechanism with a one-minute tourbillon in an 18k yellow-gold case. The constant force motor, visible on the dial, ensures the escapement receives a steady pulse—smooth, precise, minute after minute—while the tourbillon is showcased on the caseback. Limited to just 11 pieces, this watch carries the weight of horological history and technical mastery in every millimetre.

It’s a heavyweight, but not in the way you’d expect. The 41.5 mm, 13.7 mm-thick case fits surprisingly well on the wrist, and the snow-white Grand Feu enamel dial is both sophisticated and crisp. Powering this piece is the in-house A&S5219 calibre—two barrels, 100-hour reserve, hand-wound accuracy. This isn’t just a watch; it’s a tribute to friendship, innovation, and the spirit of marine chronometry.

Bulgari, with the launch of the. Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon, officially snatched back the title of the world’s thinnest tourbillon watch, coming in at a mind-bending 1.85 mm thick. That’s thinner than most credit cards and sleeker than anything Piaget has recorded, including their Altiplano Concept. Made from sandblasted titanium and anchored by a tungsten-carbide mainplate, it’s as much a feat of engineering as it is a design statement. With a flying tourbillon integrated into that ultra-slim profile, this piece feels less like a watch and more like a manifesto for horology.

Patek Philippe knows how to make a quiet statement, and the Calatrava 8-Day is exactly that. From the outside, it’s pure sophistication—a 41 mm white gold case with hobnail guilloché, paired with a blue-to-black gradient dial that catches the light just right. Subtle indicators for the power reserve, day, date, and small seconds keep the layout refined yet full of purpose.

Inside, it’s all about muscle. The new Calibre 31‑505 8J features a 192-hour (8-day) power reserve, with a smart red warning window on the ninth day. It is manual-winding, slim at 10.52 mm, and meticulously finished, combining heritage and innovation in a way only Patek can. Price? Approximately USD $70,700—and worth every look.

At Watches & Wonders 2025, amidst all the high-tech dazzlers and headline-grabbing unveilings, Jaeger‑LeCoultre quietly reminded us what true horological poetry looks—and sounds—like. The maison reintroduced one of its most iconic creations in jaw-dropping form: the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater. Wrapped in luxurious pink gold and limited to just 30 pieces, this isn’t merely a tribute—it’s a masterclass. On one side, a rich teal-blue Grand Feu enamel dial shimmers with that classic Art Deco elegance. Flip the case (because, of course, it still flips), and you’re treated to an openworked marvel where gold bridges and polished gears reveal the intricate inner workings of a musical masterpiece.

Inside beats the hand-wound Calibre 953, armed with seven patented innovations that elevate the minute repeater complication—think crystal gongs, trebuchet hammers, and no silent intervals. Slide the discreet trigger, and suddenly the watch becomes an instrument, ringing out tones so clear and soulful, you’ll swear time just stood still. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. This Reverso whispers brilliance and rewards those who pay attention. In a room full of loud statements, Jaeger-LeCoultre dropped the mic.

The Piaget Polo 79 has made a comeback—this time replacing its yellow-gold flash with a much cooler, more sophisticated look. Entirely cloaked in 18k white gold with a rhodium finish, this version tones down the drama and elevates the elegance. While the yellow-gold model from 2024 gained attention for its boldness, the new white gold iteration whispers luxury in a more personal, discreet way.

Coming in at seven is a piece that blends pure Cartier elegance with mechanical mystery—the Tank à Guichets WGTA0237. The name might sound fancy (and it is), but it translates quite literally from French as “Tank with Windows.” And that’s exactly what you get: no traditional dial, no hands, just two clean-cut apertures—one for the jumping hour at 10 o’clock, another for dragging minutes at 4. It’s stealthy, architectural, and full of that early 20th-century spirit.

The Ingenieur is back—and this time, it’s dressed for the shadows. With the Ingenieur Automatic 42 in full black ceramic, IWC reimagines one of its most iconic designs through a modern, stealthy lens. The case and bracelet are crafted entirely from lightweight zirconium-oxide ceramic, giving it a sleek edge while still offering durability. The signature “Grid” dial nods to Genta’s original vision, but what’s inside is all 2025—the in-house Calibre 82110, loaded with ceramic components and a 60-hour power reserve. It’s smooth, sharp, and quietly confident—the type of watch that doesn’t seek attention but definitely earns it.

A. Lange & Söhne took its sporty-meets-luxury Odysseus and gave it the royal treatment at Watches & Wonders, cloaking the entire 40.5 mm case and integrated bracelet in their proprietary Honeygold alloy. It’s not just a gold watch in disguise; it’s a watch that ages beautifully, with finishes that shift between warm rose and creamy yellow depending on the light. The rich brown dial exudes elegance—embossed grooves, Honeygold hands and indices with lume, and signature oversized date and day displays that pop in white and red accents.

Despite its precious metal wrapping, the Odysseus maintains its athletic soul intact with 120 metres of water resistance, pushers for the day and date, and a slim 11.1 mm profile that slips easily under a cuff. Only 100 pieces are made, making it as exclusive as it is refined. If you’re after gold that speaks softly but carries serious horological weight—this is it.

This isn’t just another sports watch—it feels like wearing a glacial summit on your wrist.

Measuring a precise 41 mm with a sleek 8 mm thickness, it features an automatic L.U.C 96.42-L calibre with a platinum micro-rotor, twin barrels, COSC chronometer certification, and the Geneva Seal—all while providing a 65-hour power reserve.

Well, here we are—watch number twenty-five. After all the flying tourbillons, skeleton dials, and record-breaking thinness, it’s only fitting we close the curtain with something subtly clever. The Raymond Weil Freelancer Complete Calendar might not have arrived with fireworks, but it’s the kind of piece that earns respect from anyone who appreciates form meeting function.

Sized at a sweet-spot 40 mm, the Freelancer Complete Calendar strikes a balance between dressy and casual. It features a full calendar—day, date, month, and moon phase—all clearly displayed on a dial that is both balanced and attractive.

Offered in two striking dial variants—silver and dark blue—this piece is Nomos doing world time their way: crisp, clever, and effortlessly cool.

Instead of overcomplicating things, Nomos offers a 24-hour home time display along with a rotating city ring that’s connected to the local hour hand.

There’s something quietly impressive about a watch that delivers high complication without the usual six-figure flex, and Frederique Constant knows exactly how to strike that balance. The Classic Perpetual Calendar FC‑776SAL3H6 is dressed in a 40 mm stainless steel case, but what truly steals the spotlight is its salmon sunray dial—warm, vintage-inspired, and incredibly well-executed.

The layout is clean and legible, with the day, date, month, moonphase, and even a leap-year indicator running smoothly off the brand’s new in-house FC-776 calibre. It’s automatic, has a 72-hour power reserve, and sits comfortably on the wrist at just over 12 mm thick. And while the mechanics are impressive, it’s the feeling this watch gives—refined, intelligent, quietly confident—that makes it such a standout. All that, and it still comes in under $10K? That’s how you make a perpetual calendar feel personal.

Parmigiani Fleurier’s Toric Perpetual Calendar might be the most refined understatement of the year.

The polished 40.6 mm case, available in either platinum or rose gold, features the signature knurled bezel and a beautifully hand-grained dial that displays a full perpetual calendar without any visual clutter.

Panerai doesn’t usually dabble in complicated watchmaking—but when it does, it makes sure the watch still looks like it could survive a warzone. The Luminor Perpetual Calendar GMT Platinumtech is exactly that: a full technical flex wrapped in a classic, battle-ready Luminor case. At 44 mm, it carries plenty of wrist presence, but the case is made from Platinumtech, a proprietary alloy that’s 40% harder than standard platinum. The dark-blue sapphire dial is partly transparent, allowing glimpses of the complex movement underneath while remaining clean and easy to read.

Flip it over, and the sapphire caseback reveals the in-house P.4100 calibre, a micro-rotor movement packed with features: perpetual calendar, GMT, leap year, and day/night indicators, all crown-adjustable—no extra pushers needed. It’s practical, powerful, and well-constructed.

When Rolex introduced the Land-Dweller at Watches & Wonders 2025, it felt like the brand quietly dropped a bombshell. This wasn’t just another Oyster variation—it was something entirely new, blending vintage cues with cutting-edge mechanics. Inspired by the angular confidence of the ‘70s Oysterquartz era, the 40 mm Land-Dweller is slim at just 9.70 mm, sharp in profile, and fitted with a flat Jubilee bracelet that flows seamlessly into the case. The honeycomb white dial adds a retro-futuristic texture, framed by a white gold fluted bezel that keeps the look unmistakably Rolex.

But it’s what’s inside that has collectors talking. This is the first watch to feature Rolex’s new Calibre 7135—a high-frequency 5 Hz movement equipped with the innovative Dynapulse escapement. It offers a 66-hour power reserve, and for the first time on a core model, Rolex has given us a glimpse inside via a sapphire caseback.

Tudor doubled down on toughness with the Pelagos Ultra, and it’s as overbuilt as it is impressive. The beefy 43 mm titanium case (just 14.5 mm thick) is rated to an incredible 1,000 m depth and features a compact helium escape valve—making it feel like a mini submarine on your wrist. Despite these specifications, it wears surprisingly comfortably thanks to its mixed-grade titanium construction and ergonomic bracelet with a clip buckle and diver’s extension. High-visibility luminescence in blue and green, sculpted snowflake hands, and oversized markers ensure it remains readable in any conditions—whether deep dive or desk dive.

It even earned a METAS Master Chronometer certification for accuracy, resistance to magnetism, and durability under pressure. Featuring a reliable movement, a 65-hour power reserve, and bold design, the Pelagos Ultra isn’t just a dive watch—it’s a statement of Tudor’s tough, no-compromise ethos.

Few watches feel as warm and nostalgic as the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date—and this year, it arrives for summer 2025 dressed in a colour that could brighten any wrist. With a dial dipped in a radiant Sun yellow, this cheerful take on a 1938 pilot’s classic doesn’t just revive history—it celebrates it.

The green dial on TAG Heuer’s latest Carrera Date Twin-Time might just steal the spotlight—rich, dynamic, and somewhere between petrol and racing green, it’s the kind of tone that shifts with the light and grabs attention without trying too hard. Then there’s the red GMT hand and matching “TWIN-TIME” text, injecting just the right dose of sportiness to remind you this is still very much a racing-bred timepiece. It’s one of those watches that wasn’t on anyone’s radar—until it dropped—and now we can’t stop thinking about it. A clean, modern dual-time that proves TAG still knows how to surprise.

Grand Seiko has always danced to its own rhythm, and with the SLGB003, it makes a quiet yet strong statement.

The frosted silvery-blue dial takes inspiration from the frozen forests of Kirigamine in Japan, adding a calm, natural elegance to the wrist.

Inside, the watch runs on the Calibre 9RA2, blending high-tech mechanics with Grand Seiko’s unique style.

Bell & Ross is having a serious skeleton moment with its BR‑03 line, dropping not one, but three bold openworked designs. Leading the pack is the Skeleton Black Ceramic—a production model wrapped in sleek micro-blasted ceramic and powered by the automatic BR‑CAL.328. The smoked sapphire dial offers a full view of the inner workings, complemented by bright Super-LumiNova accents and the brand’s signature square case. But it doesn’t stop there—the Skeleton Grey Steel and LUM Ceramic, both limited to 250 pieces, complete this new trilogy with their own unique personalities. Honestly? It’s tough to pick a favourite.

Some watches shout for attention. Others whisper sophistication—and the Pequignet Concorde Titanium does just that, in fluent French. Quietly introduced this year, this 36 mm beauty is an exercise in refined minimalism, wrapped in ultra-light Grade 5 titanium. At just under 85 grams, it feels like you’re wearing air, yet its presence is undeniably sharp. The integrated bracelet flows naturally into the case, while the muted grey dial—perfectly in tune with the metal—offers just the right touch of understated cool. Those blackened hands and soft green Super-LumiNova? Just enough contrast to keep things legible without disrupting the vibe.

But don’t let the looks deceive you—this one has a heart inside. Beating within is Pequignet’s Calibre Initial, a ruthenium-treated automatic movement that provides a reliable 65-hour power reserve and a steady 4 Hz beat rate. Flip the watch over, and you’ll see a sapphire case back showcasing the beautifully finished movement. It’s water-resistant up to 100 metres, so you can go from a Paris café to a weekend hike without missing a beat.

Baume & Mercier brought serious charm to the table this year with a limited-edition take on their Riviera classic. The Chronograph Flyback 10828 pairs ‘70s spirit with sharp modern touches, but it’s the gold-toned sunray dial that truly stands out. With its warm, metallic glow and layered telemeter and tachymeter scales, it captures the golden hour on a coastal drive—luxurious, a little nostalgic, and subtly bold. Wrapped in a 41 mm twelve-sided steel case, powered by the flyback-capable La Joux-Perret 8147, and limited to just 73 pieces, this is the kind of chronograph that draws you in.

Inspired by the rugged charm of early 20th-century trench watches, Bremont’s Terra Nova Jumping Hour Bronze feels like a time-traveling field instrument with a twist of modern mischief. The compact 38 mm bronze case isn’t just stylish—it’s designed to age with you, developing a unique patina the more you wear it. And while it pays homage to vintage military style, the dial layout is anything but conventional. Gone is the traditional handset—instead, you see a jumping hour window at 12, a rotating minutes disc at 6, and a compass-like running seconds in the center.

It’s clever, full of character, and quietly rebellious in that very British way. Powered by the BC634AH automatic calibre with a 56-hour power reserve, and limited to just 100 pieces, this piece doesn’t shout for attention—but it certainly earns it.

The Streamliner has always been Moser’s playground for blending retro curves with cutting-edge mechanics, and this new Midnight Blue Fumé edition might be its most seductive yet. Dressed in warm 5N red gold, the case flows seamlessly into a sculpted integrated bracelet, giving off strong vintage sport-chic vibes—but it’s that dial that stops you in your tracks. The hand-finished frosted fumé texture ripples under the light like moonlight on still water, shifting from deep ocean blue to smoky twilight with every flick of the wrist.

Beneath that dreamy surface lies serious watchmaking. The HMC 907 calibre, created with the geniuses at AGENHOR, delivers a central-minute flyback chronograph that remains beautifully symmetrical—no cluttered sub-dials here. The rotor is hidden beneath the dial, so all you see through the caseback is pure mechanical artistry. Sporty, sculptural, and just a little rebellious, this piece proves that less can indeed be more—as long as it’s by Moser.

Vacheron Constantin didn’t just arrive at Watches & Wonders—they kicked things off with a cosmic spectacle. The Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication – La Première is, quite literally, the most complicated wristwatch ever made. Created to celebrate the brand’s 270th anniversary, it features a staggering 41 complications over two dials and introduces something never seen before in a wristwatch: a celestial object tracker. That alone could have been the headline, but this is Vacheron—we’re only getting started.

The list of functions sounds like a comprehensive astronomy guide. You’ve got a perpetual calendar, dual time zones, ISO 8601 calendar tracking, spring and neap tides, moon phases, seasons, solstices, sunset and sunrise tracking by city, sidereal time, zodiac positions, a sky chart, and even the sun’s culmination time. It’s a poetic dance of time, space, and mechanical craftsmanship. All this is powered by a movement with over 2,000 components—featuring a split-seconds chronograph, tourbillon, and Westminster carillon chiming system. If it moves, glows, rotates, or shines in the sky, this watch probably measures it.

For all its grandeur, the Solaria doesn’t just exist to impress—it exists to inspire. It’s the kind of watch that reminds you why people fall in love with horology in the first place. The artistry, the astronomical precision, the sense of wonder—all here. This isn’t just a milestone for Vacheron Constantin; it’s a moment for the entire world of watchmaking. Even if most of us will only ever admire it from afar, it’s a masterpiece that raises the bar for what’s possible on the wrist.

Patek Philippe made a quietly bold move at Watches & Wonders with the release of the 6159G Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date. Housed in a 39.5 mm white gold Calatrava case, this timepiece combines timeless elegance with a modern twist—most notably through its smoked sapphire dial that fades at the edges, revealing a glimpse of the intricate mechanics beneath.

The signature hobnail bezel adds texture, while the retrograde date display gracefully arches across the top, leaping back to 1 at the end of each month with that signature Patek snap. Powered by the self-winding calibre 26‑330 S QR, the watch features a perpetual calendar, moonphase, and instant-jump day, month, and leap year displays—all housed within a sophisticated case that’s just 11.49 mm thick. It serves as a poetic reminder that even after nearly two centuries, Patek Philippe continues to push the boundaries of timeless watchmaking.

One of the most refreshing moves at Watches & Wonders came from IWC, and it wasn’t about adding more—it was about removing just enough. The new Ingenieur Automatic 35 scales things down without sacrificing personality. At 35mm, it hits that perfect spot: compact, confident, and entirely in tune with the rising love for smaller sport watches. The case still reflects Genta’s genius — with an integrated bracelet, bold bezel, and textured grid dial — but now in a more elegant silhouette that slips under the radar in the best way. Offered in steel with a silver or black dial, or in warm 18k red gold, this is IWC’s quiet flex—understated, refined, and genuinely cool.

A. Lange & Söhne has always exhibited a flair for poetic precision, and the Minute Repeater Perpetual in 950 platinum exemplifies this. At 40.5 mm in diameter and just 12.1 mm thick, this timepiece gracefully houses two of haute horlogerie’s most esteemed complications—a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar—without feeling bulky on the wrist. Its black enamel dial is subtle yet opulent, while the hand-wound Calibre L122.2 runs smoothly underneath, offering a 72-hour power reserve.

What makes this piece truly magical is its musicality. The minute repeater can produce up to 720 different chiming sequences, with clever mechanisms like a pause-elimination system and hammer blockers ensuring clarity and precision. Add to that a perpetual calendar that stays accurate until the year 2100, and a moonphase that only requires adjusting once every 122.6 years, and you’ve got a timepiece that not only measures time — it celebrates it.

Piaget’s Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase might be one of the most poetic watches to debut this year. Wrapped in lightweight titanium and featuring a deep blue dial, it elegantly balances a flying tourbillon at 12 o’clock with a dreamy moonphase at 6. The gadroon-patterned dial offers a subtle nod to the Polo’s heritage, while the ultra-thin hand-wound Calibre 642P ensures precise timekeeping with elegance. It’s sleek, intricate, and unexpectedly sporty—proof that Piaget still excels at blending refinement with innovation.

Just when we thought the Reverso couldn’t get any cooler, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Tribute Geographic at Watches and Wonders 2025—and let’s just say, it stole the spotlight. The front remains refined with a balanced big date and small seconds display, but flip it over and you’re treated to something completely unexpected. The reverse side showcases a beautifully detailed world map, laser-engraved right into the dial, framed by a 24-hour rotating ring and city names from around the world. It’s a clever take on the classic worldtimer, wrapped in the signature elegance of the Reverso’s dual-face design. Available in stainless steel or pink gold, this piece is crafted for the modern globetrotter with a fondness for vintage charm.

Zenith closed Watches & Wonders 2025 with a dramatic nod to its roots: the G.F.J., named for founder Georges Favre-Jacot. In platinum and a sleek 39.15 mm case, it revives the legendary Calibre 135—rebuilt in-house with modern refinements like a 72‑hour power reserve, COSC certification at ±2 s/day, and a brick-guilloché bridge design echoing the brand’s Manufacture façade. The dial is just as striking: a lapis lazuli centre framed by brick guilloché and finished with a mother-of-pearl small-seconds subdial. Limited to 160 pieces and priced at around USD 49,900, this isn’t just a tribute—it’s a statement that Zenith’s precision heritage is alive and thriving.

Roger Dubuis doesn’t do things by halves, and with the Excalibur Grande Complication, the maison has shown its horological strength in full force. This breathtaking timepiece combines three of watchmaking’s most esteemed complications: a perpetual calendar, a minute repeater, and a flying tourbillon. Sure, it’s bold—quite loud even—and won’t appeal to those seeking subtlety, but that’s never been the Dubuis way. This watch isn’t here to whisper; it roars with confidence, complexity, and character.
