Watches and Wonders 2025 LIVE: the best timepieces from Rolex, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Hublot and more
T3 is reporting live from Watches and Wonders 2025 – here’s everything you need to know
U-Boat's hypercurved watch is diving opinions
U-Boat has debuted the U-65 at Watches and Wonders... and I don't know how to feel about it!
Described as a hypercurved watch, the U-Boat U-65 has an ultra-domed sapphire crystal that makes the watch look like a giant bubble! The crystal is completely risen off the case, and features a three-layer skeleton dial.
The movement peeks through the dial and U, 8 and 4 are dotted around the dial in a big font. The watch has an “Oil Immersion” concept which enhances the design, and it's complete with industrial accents.
I don't know if I like it or not but one thing's for sure - it's got people talking.
Cartier reinvents the Tank à Guichets
Cartier originally created the Tank à Guichets in 1928, but for Watches and Wonders 2025, it's brought it back with a reinterpretation.
The Cartier Tank à Guichets is powered by the manual 9755 MC calibre movement. Instead of a full dial with hands and markers, the Cartier Tank à Guichets showcases the time via two apertures: one for the jumping hours and one for trailing minutes.
The winding crown of the Cartier Tank à Guichets sits at the top of the watch (where 12 o'clock would normally be) and it's discreetly hidden between the watch's case and strap. It's available in platinum, yellow gold or rose gold.
Raymond Weil Freelancer Complete Calendar
Raymond Weil has added to its Freelancer collection with a Complete Calendar, available in blue or white.
This beautiful watch features a moonphase at six o'clock which playfully shows off the night sky. Around the counter are the dates of the month and further up the dial but just below the logo, there's day and month windows.
The Raymond Weil Freelancer Complete Calendar has a redesigned 40mm case with featuring integrated correctors. It's crafted from rose gold and completed with a brown calfskin strap.
Blue sporty chic with Laurent Ferrier
As I've said countless times in this live blog, I love blue dials and I love a counter subdial too, so this Laurent Ferrier Classic Auto Horizon is right up my street.
Aside from sporting a horizon blue dial, which looks purple in certain lights, the Classic Auto Horizon is powered by the LF270.01 calibre movement which was originally used in the brand's Sport collections.
With 72 hours of power reserve, a small seconds subdial and a date window, the Classic Auto Horizon has a 40mm stainless steel case and a pebble-like shape so it looks like a stopwatch.
Well done Laurent Ferrier - I'm a big fan!
You can personalise this Louis Moinet
Louis Moinet has debuted its TIME TO RACE novelty, and you can customise it to your unique taste. Available in red or blue, wearers can choose their 'lucky number' to go on the white subdial at six o'clock.
The TIME TO RACE really gives me Herbie vibes and its crown and pusher makes it look a lot like a stopwatch. It has that old vintage car feel, and shows off the intricacy of the movement on the dial.
What number would you choose?
This Patek Philippe watch has an 8-day power reserve
Patek Philippe has added a new Calatrava watch to its collection, and it has an impressive eight-day power reserve.
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5328G-001 has an instantaneous day-date displays at the six o'clock position, while a power indicator sits at 12 o'clock. The watch has a white gold case with a guilloché hobnail pattern around the outside which offsets the dark blue dial.
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5328G-001 is powered by the new 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J caliber movement which can be seen through the caseback. It's undeniably impressive.
Sam Cross, Senior News Writer for T3 and current attendee at Watches and Wonders headed over to the Patek Philippe stand and saw these beauties, too.
Grand Seiko debuts most accurate watch ever made
Grand Seiko has debuted its SLGB003 novelty at Watches and Wonders, and claims that it's the most accurate mainspring-powered watch ever made. Quite a big claim, but Grand Seiko has the smarts to back this up.
The Grand Seiko SLGB003 has an icy textured dial and a 37mm titanium case which houses its clever 9RB2 movement. The new movement is what gives the watch this accuracy, as Grand Seiko says it's accurate to plus/minus 20 seconds per year!
An IWC made entirely of ceramic
IWC Schaffhassen has debuted the Ingenieur Automatic 42, the brand's first IWC Ingenieur that's been crafted entirely from ceramic.
The case has a pure ceramic construction and measures 42mm. The movement which is stylishly shown via the caseback is the 82110 Calibre, which offers 60 hours of power reserve.
Frederique Constant upgrades its Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture
Frederique Constant has given its Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture a new design and movement upgrade.
Originally unveiled in 2016, the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture now comes in a 40mm steel case and has a salmon dial which is a collectors' favourite colour. The watch also features a new movement, the Manufacture FC-776 calibre, which is the 34th movement developed in-house by Frederique Constant.
The world's lightest mechanical dive watch
![Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air]](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nVs6TDSsKaQ8vcLzvgEqQK-1920-80.jpg.webp)
Ulysse Nardin has surprised everyone at Watches and Wonders but not launching a new Freak and instead debuting the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] – the world's lightest mechanical dive watch.
Ulysse Nardin has achieved this feat by removing materials from its UN-374 calibre movement, so the overall weight of the watch – including the strap – weighs just 52g!
It's a pretty impressive feat, plus the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] still looks amazing with its skeletonised dial, 44mm titanium case and orange and white straps.
Montblanc puts the mountains on your wrist
Montblanc is known for its mountaineering-inspired watches and its latest novelty is no exception. The 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition pays homage to alpinist Reinhold Messner and Mount Vinson, Antarctica's highest peak reached by Messner in 1986.
The Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition is crafted from titanium and measures 43.5mm. The middle case is made from quartz and aluminised basalt fibres and light blue resin which is devoid of oxygen.
Removing the oxygen means that the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition can endure tough temperatures and climates. Powered by the MB 29.25 movement, the watch has rotating Northern and Southern hemisphere globes, a worldtime complication, 24-hour scale, dual time display, day and night indications and date window.
The Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition is packed with features, and it's a looker, too. It has a 3D coloured image of Mount Vison and comes in a stylish blue-green dial and strap colour.
Is this the most complicated watch ever made?!
This might be the most complicated wristwatch ever made!
The new (deep breath!) Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication features a grand total of 41 complications which included 13 patent applications to get it made!
The Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication is eight years in the making, and it might be the most elaborate watch I've ever seen. It has five astronomical functions, 1521 components, a moonphase, and multiple other measurements, so it's a full timer, clock and watch in one!
Even though it might sound complicated (pun intended), the Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication is also lovely to look at and sits in a 45mm white gold case. The dial is mainly black and has red, yellow and green accents on the subdials.
Day Two of Watches and Wonders
It's day two of Watches and Wonders! Yesterday, we saw plenty of colourful and technical novelties from the likes of Tudor, Rolex, TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot, Gerald Charles and many more.
Now for the second day of the event, I'm back to highlight more of our favourite launches from Watches and Wonders - stay tuned!
That's a wrap from day one!
That's a wrap on day one – at least for me from the UK. I'm sure our Senior News Writer, Sam Cross is heading off to an exciting launch event in Geneva as we speak!
But day one of Watches and Wonders has been pretty impressive, with tons of new novelties from TAG Heuer, Tudor, Rolex, Hublot and many more. We're expecting to see lots more tomorrow and I'll be back to keep you up-to-date on all the latest novelties.
Stay tuned, and see you tomorrow for another Watches and Wonders-filled day!
This Bell & Ross is anything but simple...
At T3, we're big fans of Bell & Ross and its Watches and Wonders display is anything but simple. While it might look so on the outside, the BR-03 Skeleton Black Ceramic is extremely technical and intricate, if you look a bit closer.
The Bell & Ross BR-03 Skeleton Black Ceramic has an openworked dial and exposed movement that sits inside it black 41mm case. It's bold cartoon-like letters overlap the movement, adding more dimension and making the watch look bolder and more intriguing.
Parmigiani Fleurier ticks all my boxes
If there's one thing you need to know about me (and if you've been reading this live blog, chances are you know already), I'm currently loving two things: blue colourways and subdials.
Lucky for me, Parmigiani Fleurier is ticking all my boxes with it new Toric Quantieme Perpetual Platinum Morning Blue. The simple blue dial has silver accents for the hour markers and hour and minute hands.
But what makes it standout, other than its morning blue colour, is its two subdials. The left one points to the days of the week and the month, while the right one is for the months of the year.
It's classy and elegant, and I can't stop looking at it!
Gerald Charles 25th anniversary Maestro is top of my wishlist
It seems that almost every watch brand is celebrating an anniversary this year, but I think Gerald Charles might have just debuted my favourite model yet.
The Maestro GC39 25th Anniversary Edition by Gerald Charles is inspired by Mr. Genta's 2005 GC39. Another blue dial (shock!), the Maestro GC39 25th Anniversary Edition has a lapis lazuli centrepiece that's surrounded by striking silver lines.
The stone offsets the jumping hour complication which looks like it's being hidden by the other silver accents. A 25 sits at the six o'clock mark for the anniversary, and a simple light blue hand ticks between the hours.
The Maestro GC39 25th Anniversary Edition is set in a 42mm polished titanium case, which makes the watch look like a photo frame. It's limited to just 100 pieces - and it's definitely on my wishlist!
There's a new Rolex in town...
It seems like something is in the air this Watches and Wonders, as almost every brand is treating us with tons of new watches - it's the most launches I've seen in my past three years covering the event.
In true Rolex style, the brand wasn't going to miss out and has debuted an all-new Land-Dweller. The Rolex Land-Dweller features an integrated bracelet design and is available in 36mm or 40mm sizes. It also has many Rolex flourishes, like a cyclops magnifier over the date window and a fluted bezel.
The dial of the Land-Dweller also has a honeycomb pattern and a stunning blue-teal colourway. For a full breakdown, check out all of Rolex's Watches and Wonders launches.
It all started with the Big Bang!
Hublot is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Big Bang with a new collection, more colours and other stunning launches.
The most exciting new launch if a full Big Bang 20th anniversary collection which features five new references. The new watches combine details from the first Big Bang and the Big Bang Unico to fully celebrate the evolution of the Big Bang watch.
Available in five different colour variations, the new models feature a checkerboard pattern on the dial, two chronograph counters and rubber dials.
Jaeger-LeCoultre showcases a whole host of Reverso watches
Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled five new Reverso models at Watches and Wonders. The iconic watch which features a reversible case which has the clock on one side, and a fun engraving on the other, is now back with even more exciting colours and designs.
The new launches include the Reverso Tribute Geographic, Monoface and DuoFace Small Seconds and Minute Repeaters, as well as a Hybris Artistica Calibre 179. The latter is the most exciting as it has an intricate skeletonised dial on one side and its dramatic movement on the other.
With the Hybris Artistica Calibre 179, Jaeger-LeCoultre has built a gyrotourbillon into the dial and layered with geometric patterns. The case is crafted from white gold and dark blue lacquer, and it's limited to just 10 pieces!
See our full story on Jaeger-LeCoultre's Watches and Wonders releases.
Tudor impresses with huge novelties drop
In its 2025 line-up, Tudor has announced an array of new timepieces, including an all-new Black Bay 68, and Pelagos Ultra.
My favourite, the Tudor Pelagos Ultra, comes in a 43mm titanium case and is powered by the Master Chronometer Certification and MT5612-U automatic movement. It offers 65 hours of power reserve, and has been engineered to overcome the challenges of saturation diving, thanks to its 1,000 metres water resistance.
Tudor has also updated its Black Bay Pro, Black Bay 58 and Black Bay Chrono - see here's everything Tudor just announced at Watches and Wonders for more details.
Zenith is feeling blue...
As you may have guessed from our predictions piece, I love a striking blue dial, and Zenith has given us not one, not two but four stunning blue watches at Watches and Wonders 2025.
The real standout is the new G.F.J Calibre 135, as it marks a revival of Zenith's iconic calibre 135 movement. In the new novelty, the movement has been upgraded with an offset centre wheel, 72 hour power reserve and a lapis lazuli dial.
Zenith has also debuted three of its popular watches in this new blue colour - you can find out more in our full Zenith Watches and Wonders breakdown.
I'm obsessed with A Lange & Söhne's Minute Repeater Perpetual
A Lange & Söhne has launched three new stunning watches at Watches and Wonders, but I'm most obsessed with the Minute Repeater Perpetual.
The 40.5mm Minute Repeater Perpetual combines a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar in one watch. It gives the dial three subdials, one that has days of the week, one that has the months of the year and one that has a moonphase.
The dial is black with silver accents, and it has a manually wound movement, so if you keep it wound, it won't need to be corrected until 1st of March 2100.
The stunning Minute Repeater Perpetual by A Lange & Söhne is limited to just 50 pieces.
Nomos upgrades its Club Sport Neomatik
Nomos has upgraded its Club Sport Neomatik watch with a world timer complication.
The new Nomos Club Sport Neomatik is powered by the DUW 3202 calibre movement, which offers a 42 hour power reserve and helps power the new world timer complication.
Although this complication has been added to the watch, it hasn't affected the size or thickness of it which is pretty impressive. The watch has a blue ring around it which displays different cities around the world adjacent to the right times.
Measuring 40mm, the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik case is made from stainless steel and comes in two dial options: blue or silver.
Panerai debuts new Luminor Marina models
Panerai has debuted new Luminor Marina models at Watches and Wonders. The sporty watch which has its oversized crown have been given new colours and the case itself has been reduced by 12% in thickness.
The new Panerai Luminor Marina is powered by the P.980 calibre which offers three days of power reserve and 500m of water resistance. The watches have a steel case, and come with a stee bracelet or alligator leather straps.
TAG Heuer wows with new Formula 1 collections
It wouldn't be Watches and Wonders without TAG Heuer stealing the show with three new timepieces. As official timekeeper of Formula 1, TAG Heuer has debuted a new Formula 1 Solograph and Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph, as well as a new Carrera Day-Date.
The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solograph is the standout from the new novelties. Available in nine models - three from the core collection and six limited edition versions - the Formula 1 Solograph is inspired by the original 1986 Formula 1 collection by the brand.
The Formula 1 Solograph has a new 38mm size, and comes in multiple different colour combinations. The dials have bubble and shield icons as the hour markers, and the watch is powered by the Solargraph movement which is recharged by the sun or artificial light.
For more details about the new launches, see our full breakdown of TAG Heuer's Watches and Wonders timepieces.
Day one of Watches and Wonders 2025
It’s day one of Watches and Wonders 2025, and let me tell you, I’m excited!
First, let me quickly introduce myself. I’m Beth, T3’s Home Editor who’s been covering watches – and more specifically Watches and Wonders – for the past few years now. I’ll be the one giving you all the latest launches and news from this year’s event.
This is my third time covering Watches and Wonders live and my colleague Sam Cross is actually on the ground in Geneva seeing all the action – he’ll be sharing plenty of behind the scenes looks throughout this week and he’ll even be giving out some prizes.
But before we jump into what Watches and Wonders is showcasing today, myself, Sam and fellow watch enthusiast and expert, Alistair Charlton thought we’d take a guess at what our watch brands would be showing off and launching this year. Take a look at T3's watch experts predictions for Watches and Wonders 2025.
