The world of watchmaking has always been about finding the perfect balance between technical mastery and timeless beauty, and Zenith has once again hit that mark with impressive precision. Founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot, Zenith has earned its reputation through precise chronometry and innovative breakthroughs, most notably the El Primero, one of the first automatic chronograph movements ever made. With this legacy as its base, the brand continues to create timepieces that marry its history with today.

The new Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar in rose gold exemplifies that philosophy beautifully. Revisiting one of its most treasured complications, the triple calendar, Zenith has integrated its renowned chronograph heritage and showcased it all within a warm, luxurious rose gold case. The result is a watch that feels both steeped in tradition and remarkably contemporary, a companion designed for those who value the elegance of classic complications combined with the confidence of modern design.

It’s not just about function—it’s about style, presence, and the quiet prestige that comes with wearing a watch from a maison that has spent over 150 years at the heart of Swiss horology. The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar in rose gold is Zenith’s way of reminding the world that tradition and innovation can walk hand in hand, and when they do, the outcome is nothing short of extraordinary.

Highlights:

  • Classic Chronomaster design upgraded with a black dial and rose gold accents.
  • Powered by the legendary El Primero 3610 automatic movement with triple calendar and moonphase.
  • Transparent sapphire caseback displaying the blue column wheel and open rotor with Zenith’s star.
  • Priced at $26,300 and available from April 24th at Zenith boutiques, online, and authorized retailers worldwide.

The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar doesn’t shout for attention; it commands it with quiet confidence. Its 38 mm rose gold case remains true to the proportions of the 1969 original, hitting that perfect balance between vintage charm and modern wearability. Slim lugs, polished surfaces, and a well-balanced silhouette make it the kind of watch that slips effortlessly under a cuff but shines brilliantly when it catches the light.

This design is so compelling in how it connects Zenith’s history with its current vision. The black dial with rose gold accents offers modern elegance, while the tri-colour registers pay tribute to the brand’s pioneering El Primero chronographs of the late 1960s. By blending these historic elements with contemporary finishing, a more refined case, and practical complications, Zenith shows that it isn’t just reissuing icons — it’s reinterpreting them for today’s collectors. The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar proves that tradition and innovation can coexist beautifully in one watch.

The Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar features the El Primero 3610 calibre, a movement that proudly upholds Zenith’s legacy in the present day. Operating at 5Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour), it provides chronograph accuracy to a tenth of a second—something Zenith pioneered in 1969 and still sets the standard for today. It serves as a reminder that, while design trends change, true watchmaking innovation remains timeless.

What makes this piece even more captivating is the way it manages its complications. The triple calendar display—day, month, and date—fits smoothly into the dial without appearing cluttered, while the moonphase at 6 o’clock adds a poetic touch to an otherwise technical layout. Turn the watch over, and you’re rewarded with a view of the movement through its exhibition caseback, where the openworked rotor bearing the Zenith star and the finishing details demonstrate the maison’s blend of tradition and modern elegance. With a 60-hour power reserve, it’s as practical as it is beautiful, designed for those who want complexity without sacrificing clarity.

At the back, the El Primero calibre is on full display through a sapphire crystal window. Its integrated architecture is clearly visible, featuring a striking blue column wheel and an open rotor engraved with Zenith’s signature five-pointed star. This level of detail reminds you that this isn’t just a watch, but a work of mechanical artistry. El Primero y solo — a fitting nod to the movement that has carried Zenith’s name to legendary status.

The Zenith Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar in rose gold features a supple leather strap with a matching rose-gold clasp, offering both security and elegance. Priced at $26,300, it is positioned precisely where you’d expect for a timepiece that combines Zenith’s historic expertise with contemporary refinement.

You can purchase one starting April 24th at Zenith boutiques, online, and through authorized retailers worldwide.

All Eyes on Cartier at Watches and Wonders 2025—From Tank Legends to Jaw-Dropping Jewelry Watches

When Cartier steps into the spotlight, it doesn’t just showcase watches—it reveals a vision. At Watches and Wonders 2025, the 178-year-old maison delivered just that: a presentation shaped around metamorphosis. This wasn’t about evolution in a subtle sense—it was bold, sculptural, and unapologetically luxurious. Cartier embraced its heritage while redefining the rules of what fine watchmaking and jewelry can look like in 2025.

Rather than playing it safe, Cartier embraced reinvention—breathing new life into its most iconic designs and unveiling creations that feel less like accessories and more like statements. It wasn’t about making noise for its own sake; it was about using form, material, and movement to convey something deeper. The message was clear: transformation is the new tradition.

But behind the sparkle and sleek lines lies a team of masterful artisans—craftspeople who transform raw materials into emotion. As Cartier’s CEO, Louis Ferla, puts it, “Magic is at the heart of Cartier’s watchmaking vision.” It’s this blend of imagination and expertise that enables the brand to push boundaries without losing its soul. Metal, stone, movement—each element is utilized with intention, and the results speak for themselves.

So, what does transformation look like in Cartier’s world? Each piece revealed this year, from poetic complications to haute joaillerie creations, tells its own story of reinvention. Let’s take a closer look at the watches that turned heads, sparked conversations, and reminded the world why Cartier remains in a league of its own.

Tank Louis Cartier

The Tank Louis Cartier isn’t just a watch—it’s a cornerstone of 20th-century design. First introduced in 1922, it was Louis Cartier’s personal refinement of the original Tank Normale, a model already revolutionary in its own right. While the Normale drew inspiration from the bird’s-eye silhouette of WWI tanks, the Louis Cartier version brought elegance into sharper focus. The lines were lengthened, the brancards smoothed, and the entire case softened just enough to make it both architectural and wearable.

From the moment it launched, the Tank Louis Cartier has been the watch of choice for those who favour timeless style over fleeting trends. It has been spotted on the wrists of icons—Andy Warhol famously wore his even when it wasn’t ticking, declaring that he wore it “because it’s the watch to wear.” The design hasn’t needed radical reinvention, because it got things right from the start. Just the right amount of presence, just the right amount of restraint.

  • Model: Tank Louis Cartier
  • Dimensions: 38.1 x 27.75 mm
  • Thickness: 8.18 mm
  • Material: Rose Gold / Yellow Gold
  • Dial Colour: Silver Sunray With Blue Hand
  • Strap: Semi-matte brown / grey alligator leather 
  • Movement: Automatic 1899 MC
  • Water Resistance: 3 Bar ( 30 metres, 100 feet )
  • Price: USD $14,900

For 2025, Cartier revisits this classic with a quiet sense of confidence. The latest Tank Louis Cartier references stay true to the original’s DNA while introducing just enough evolution to keep things exciting. The case has been gently scaled up to 38.1mm × 27.75mm, providing a more modern stance without disrupting its timeless proportions. The dials retain that familiar Cartier charm—Roman numerals, blue sword-shaped hands, and a silvered flinqué texture that shimmers subtly with every tilt of the wrist.

But the real upgrade lies beneath the surface. For the first time, the Tank Louis Cartier is equipped with the new 1899 MC automatic calibre—bringing in-house mechanical power to the mix. This move enhances the watch’s functionality for daily wear while maintaining a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. Offered in both yellow gold and rose gold, the new editions feel less like a redesign and more like a respectful continuation of a legacy—refined, elevated, and effortlessly cool.

Tank à Guichets

In a collection built on clean lines and classic proportions, the Tank à Guichets has always been the odd one out—in the best possible way. First introduced in 1928, this was Cartier at its most avant-garde. Gone were the Roman numerals, hands, or traditional dial layout. Instead, a solid metal case with two small apertures displayed jumping hours and trailing minutes, making it one of the earliest and most elegant digital displays in the history of watchmaking.

It was bold, unexpected, and decades ahead of its time—so naturally, collectors have been clamouring for its return. And in 2025, Cartier has delivered.

Reintroduced under the Privé collection, the new Tank à Guichets models remain remarkably faithful to the original concept while adding a modern twist. The case, now sized at 37.6mm × 24.8mm with a slim 6mm profile, is available in yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum. Each is powered by Cartier’s new hand-wound 9755 MC calibre, specifically designed to animate the jump hour and wandering minutes in smooth succession.

And if that weren’t enough, Cartier introduced a wild card: a limited-edition platinum “Oblique” version, rotated on the wrist and featuring offset apertures for hours and minutes at 10 and 4 o’clock. With only 200 pieces available, it’s a collector’s dream—and a playful nod to the maison’s love of turning tradition on its head.

The Tressage Watch

Cartier’s flair for turning everyday inspiration into high jewellery design was on full display with the debut of the Tressage Watch at Watches and Wonders 2025. Named after the French word for braiding, the Tressage draws from the art of intertwining strands—but instead of thread or leather, Cartier uses precious gold, diamonds, and sapphires to create a series of sculptural, high-glamour timepieces.

Each model features a dramatically elongated case (56.2mm × 25.7mm) framed by twisted gold elements that wrap around the wrist like woven jewelry. While the design references Cartier’s bold, architectural collections such as the Maillon, Coussin, and Réflection, the Tressage tells its own story—an elegant fusion of movement and form that plays with light, texture, and colour. Beneath it all is a discreet quartz movement, as here, it’s the artistry that does the talking.

The collection features four standout pieces: a sleek yellow gold model with a black lacquer dial; a radiant diamond-set version adorned with 466 stones; a fully pavé white gold model showcasing 916 diamonds; and a spectacular piece combining white gold, 570 diamonds, and 330 blue sapphires. Each one makes a statement—and not just about timekeeping. Tressage proves, once again, that when Cartier plays with materials, the result is pure alchemy.

Panthère Jewellery Watch

Cartier’s most iconic creature makes a stunning return at Watches and Wonders 2025 with the Panthère Jewellery Watch—a bold fusion of sculpture, symbolism, and sparkle. Designed around a “Toi & Moi” bracelet concept, the piece features a three-dimensional panther in mid-prowl, dramatically facing the gem-set dial. It is a visual showdown between wild beauty and refined timekeeping, executed with the kind of craftsmanship only Cartier can deliver.

The watch is available in two distinct editions. The white gold version dazzles with over 1,100 snow-set diamonds, emerald eyes, and onyx detailing that adds a lifelike texture to the feline form. In contrast, the yellow gold model opts for bold lines and striking contrasts, featuring black lacquer spots, tsavorite eyes, and a diamond-framed dial that stands out against the polished gold. Both editions are quartz-powered, water-resistant, and unapologetically glamorous—more wearable sculpture than everyday timepiece. But that’s exactly the point.

Panthère De Cartier Watch

The Panthère de Cartier watch is a timeless emblem of elegance and innovation. It was first introduced in 1983 and quickly became a favourite among fashion icons and celebrities, celebrated for its fluid bracelet and distinctive design. The watch’s name and supple link bracelet draw inspiration from Cartier’s iconic panther motif, symbolizing grace and strength.

In 2025, Cartier reimagines this classic with a bold new collection unveiled at Watches and Wonders. The latest models showcase animal-inspired motifs, blending zebra and tiger patterns through a fusion of black and golden-brown lacquer, pavé diamonds, and vibrant spessartites. Each timepiece is a testament to Cartier’s dedication to craftsmanship, featuring hand-polished links and meticulous gem-setting that require over 110 hours of work per piece. The dials, adorned with 145 brilliant-cut diamonds, reflect the maison’s commitment to artistry and technical prowess.

This collection honours the Panthère’s rich heritage while propelling it into the future, blending tradition with contemporary design. The Panthère de Cartier remains a symbol of timeless luxury, captivating new generations with its enduring allure.
