Eberhard & Co. Contodat

This new sporty and elegant collection consists of the Contodat Automatic and the Contodat Chronographe. Both variants are offered with a carefully curated selection of dials and represent the first watches in the current collections to be exclusively designed with an integrated bracelet. While the name revives the historic Contodat brand (registered in 1955) in a fresh new form, the collection takes inspiration from a timepiece from the second half of the 1970s, conceived by then President Palmiro Monti: one of the first mechanical chronographs of the “new era” for the Maison, featuring striking lines and an intriguing colour scheme, highlighted by a contrasting orange seconds hand.

Omega Railmaster

One of Omega’s most enduring watch designs makes a return this year, featuring new 38mm versions in stainless steel with new colour gradients and a distinctly pure aesthetic. The original Railmaster, released in 1957 as part of the legendary “Professional Line” trilogy, was able to resist magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss, while most anti-magnetic watches at that time offered protection at only around 60 gauss. More than 60 years after the Railmaster’s debut, Omega remains one of the industry’s leading names in anti-magnetic innovation: the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 (and Small Seconds 8804) is 15 times more resistant than the original Railmaster models and is certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

Alto Art 01 Falcon Eye

Alto’s vision is to create timepieces where art and time meet with subtlety. Falcon’s eye is a gemstone known for its shimmering reflections, with hues shifting between blue, gray and black, punctuated by golden highlights. To design the three-dimensional dial of the Art 01 Falcon Eye, Alto had to push the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship and invent a completely new and unique process. The result is a spectacular architectural dial, with the stone gradually darkening towards the centre to evoke the pupil and iris. The case is crafted from a 3N yellow gold alloy. At the heart of the timepece is the A01 calibre, an automatic movement with a micro-rotor developed in collaboration with Swiss manufacture Le Cercle des Horlogers.

Cauny x Tadao Ando

“The architects of time” series by Cauny is a collection of watches designed by the best architects of our time. The latest iteration is by none other than Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Designed after the green apples that the 1995 Pritzker often places outside his buildings, this watch symbolises youth. This 37.5mm version is the most faithful to Ando’s concept and proves that youth “is not a stage of life, but a movement of the heart”.

Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days – Gübelin Special Edition

This special edition reinterprets one of Bvlgari’s most emblematic creations with striking blue accents developed solely for Swiss retailer Gübelin. The luminous blue hands and indices inject a daring vibrancy into the architectural precision of its skeletonised dial – revealing the inner workings of the hand-wound calibre BVL 199 SK, a marvel of mechanical elegance that is just 2.50mm thick. Boasting an exceptional 8-day (192-hour) power reserve, this ultra-thin movement exemplifies Bvlgari’s mastery of miniaturisation and mechanical artistry. The 40mm octagonal titanium case, enhanced by a crown set with a black ceramic insert, is paired with a matching titanium bracelet secured by a folding clasp.

McGonigle The Ogma  

This new masterpiece with a fully in-house mechanism is the result of over three years of development by the Irish independent watchmaker. Stephen McGonigle collaborated with his sister Frances to create a design for the hand-engraved barrel bridge that shows a representation of Ogma, the Irish mythological god of eloquence and invention, credited with the creation of the Ogham alphabet (used in all McGonigle timepieces). The balance bridge is painstakingly hand-finished, focusing the eye on the heart of the movement. Of special note is the added complication of a power reserve: using a differential, the 90-hour reserve is visible on the dial indicator.

Perrelet Weekend Sand Dunes  

The highlight of the new 39mm Weekend Sand Dunes is undoubtedly the dial, which portrays the breathtaking scenery of the Arabian Desert. The embossed dunes in Pantone colour 727C – a faded light brown that turns to salmon pink – add dynamism and depth to the timepiece. In keeping with the Arabian theme, the silvered applied hour indices, minutes flange and date in the window at 3 o’clock are displayed in Arabic. The Weekend Sand Dunes with time-and-date functions is driven by the Perrelet P-321 calibre that guarantees a 42-hour power reserve.

Dennison + Collectability

Dennison Watch Company’s A.L.D. watches – featuring cushion-shaped cases, inspired 1970s flair and striking natural stone dials, offered at an attractive price point of under CHF 700 – have garnered industry-wide attention. John Reardon, globally recognised expert on Patek Philippe, former International Head of Watches at Christie’s and founder of Collectability, had never previously lent his name to a watch project. Available in both stainless steel and gold PVD, the Dennison + Collectability watch’s two-tone sunray dial draws inspiration from the rarest pieces in Collectability’s archives, evoking the design language of the 1960s and 1970s while maintaining the aesthetic blueprint of Dennison’s acclaimed A.L.D. Collection by Emmanuel Gueit. 

Certina DS Action Diver 40.5mm

With its 300m water-resistance and ISO 6425:2018 certification, this model meets the highest standards for professional dive watches. The DS Action Diver 40.5mm also marks a milestone as the first Certina watch to feature the next evolution of the DS system: the “New DS Concept Extreme Shock Resistance”. This technology enables the timepiece to withstand G-forces so extreme that the testing equipment itself reached its limits during trials. Four variations feature choices between titanium or stainless steel paired with ceramic bezels matching the dials.

Seiko Power Design Project

The Power Design Project is an initiative for the brand’s in-house experts to creatively explore watches outside of conventional design frameworks. Following its success in 2024, the Incredibly Specialised Watches Exhibition 2 marks the second international instalment of the series with bold, visionary concepts, each created for a specific function. In-house watchmakers have taken the very essence of a watch and entirely repurposed it. This second edition presents six imaginative designs, each telling a story. From a watch designed and crafted for Ninjas to a timepiece made specifically for boiling eggs, these playful inventions reflect Seiko’s continuing commitment to innovation and the art of horology.
