Watches and Wonders 2025 TLDR: Every Watch You NEED to Know About

Hello, watch lovers, and welcome to our wrap-up video for Watches and Wonders 2025. Join me as I round up all of the hot new watch releases from the year's biggest event in watchmaking. Now, we've got a lot to get through, so let's just get straight into it, beginning with Grand Seiko. And if you like icy forests and record-breaking accuracy in a wristwatch, then Grand Seiko has got you covered. Here we have two new additions to the Evolution 9 collection. one in highintensity titanium and another in platinum. Both featuring textured dials depicting forests in mid- winter and both featuring the new spring drive caliber 9RB2 which receives the new UFA designation standing for ultra fine accuracy. It delivers an astounding annual rate of plusus 20 seconds a year. Unflipping believable accuracy is more like it. There was also two new tentraph chronograph watches announced. one in the shape of a lion and both with Mount Iwattate textured dials. And then there was this mechanical Kiri, a 36.5 mm steel watch with a pale purple dial, also with the Mount Iwattate textured dial. Next up, commemorating their 270th anniversary is Vasheron Constantine. And they're also breaking records with this, the new most complicated wristwatch ever made. This beast is packing a flabbergasting 41 complications and comprised of 1,521 components. Among the complications are a minute repeater, Westminster chime, perpetual calendar, zodiac sign indicator, equation of time, and a tide level indicator. And it can even determine based on a set location when a star will appear in the sky. Heavens to breakfast. Tell me you're not flabbergasted by that. There was also a trio of traditional openf face models featuring combinations of Torbjon's retrograde dates and calendars. And there was an additional traditional in the form of the traditional Torbjon perpetual calendar. This one featuring that knockout onetwo combo of Torbjon and perpetual calendar as well as a 270th anniversary hand guos dial finisher. Not afraid to keep it simple too though, Vashron are also offering these new timeonly traditional watches in platinum and pink gold alongside new patrimony models in white and pink gold with retrograde date and moonphase displays. Next up, we have Rolex, who released a brand new model to the collection, the Land Dweller. A watch made with the difficult task of broadening Rolex's already mass appeal by specifically targeting people who live on land. This is a sporty watch with a blocky integrated case and bracelet, a honeycomb motif dial, and a new automatic highfrequency movement with patents up the yin-yang, the caliber 7135. It boasts a 66-h hour power reserve and Rolex's Dapulse escapement. And there was also new dials all around with the Lefty GMT getting a green ceramic dial. The Rootbeer GMT got a new dial in tiger's iron material, but it has nothing to do with golf clubs, I don't think. There was a new Sky Dweller in yellow gold with a bright green dial. And the Daytona got a tropical turquoise dial, also in a yellow gold case. And then there were three new pastel colored oyster perpetual wolves in lavender, pistachio green, and a rather striking beige. And now on to TUDA, who had black bays for days sun. As per usual, this year they added a new line to the Black Bay family with the new Black Bay 68, the largest Black Bay yet with a 43mm case diameter. It comes in either a dark blue or silver dial and is equipped with a Metascertified movement. The 68 in the name refers to the year TUDA introduced the snowflake hand. Good times. The Black Bay 58 line was bolstered with burgundy. This new model gets a deep red dial and bezel, a metas caliber, and a choice between a five-link bracelet, a three-link rivet style bracelet, or a rubber strap. All are fitted with a Tit clasp. The TUDA Black Bay Pro got a new dial in white Opaline for increased Rolex Explorer comparisons. And then there was a new Polaros model too, the Polaros Ultra with a larger titanium case also in 43 mm and a whopping 1,000 m of water resistance. Holy diver. Now, PC Philippe had exquisite time pieces up to the rafters. But here's the real doozies. Starting with the quadruple complication 5308G. For the sum of £1,59,630, you can enjoy a minute repeater, split seconds chronograph, and an instantaneous perpetual calendar in a white gold case with sunburst ice blue dial. Shut up and take my money in very small incremental installments, please, for the next 500 years. Thanks. Next, there was this Calatraa 6196P. A refined time only platinum watch with vintage look opaline rose guilt dial contrasted with anthraite white gold applied and faceted hour markers. Then we have the first rose gold 5370 split seconds chronograph from PC. This is the Grand Complications 5370R. And we have another grand complication, a white gold perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand and a sapphire dial. This is the Grand Complication 6159G. And if you still haven't got yourself a Cubitus yet, come on guy. Well, then maybe perhaps you were holding out for these 40 mm versions with cases 5 mm smaller than the models released last year here in white and rose gold. And finally, why not treat yourself to this cheeky diamondcoated nautilus encrusted with 1,285 brilliant cut diamonds. This Bobby Dazzler will run you around £544,950. Over to our Langanger and Zona next, and this is the new Odessius model, the Odessius Honey Gold. Langanger's sporty runaround is now available in a warm toned 750 honey gold case paired with a brown dial and the automatic caliber L155.1 datamatic movement. And it even gets an admirable 120 m of water resistance. Next, we have the Minute Repeater Perpetual with a killer complication combo of a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar. This new watch comes in a 950 platinum case with a glossy black enamel dial and is limited to 50 pieces. And then lastly from Langer, we have two new 1815 models available in 750 white or pink gold. These are discrete watches coming in a traditional dress watch diameter of 34 mm and equipped with the manually wound caliber L1521. Let's take a look next at the new releases from Tag Hoya. Starting with the Carrera Day Date. Now, this is a paired back Carrera stripped of all its usual chronograph business to something quite refined. It comes in a 41mm steel case in a variety of dial options with day and date windows at 3:00 and a new movement co-developed with Celita, which has a power reserve of 80 hours. Next, there was this Carrera Date Twin Time, an updated version of a GMT model that has its roots in the 1950s with this model featuring a teal sunray dial with Arabic numerals and baton indices. And then we have the Formula 1 Solar range. Here's nine new Solar Quartz models in a fun array of colors and material case options from steel, black PVD, and TAG's own bioplastic material, biopolyamide. And then finally, there was also a special Monaco model. The Monaco split seconds chronograph F1 cased in white ceramic with a skeletonized dial that features the words lights out gorilla radio. No, it doesn't say that. I wish it did, but it's some reference to Formula 1 racing, which makes sense, I guess. Moving on. In a similar style to protect Philippe, Ja Loot also have an abundance of new releases, so we'll just quickly cover our favorites now. We'll work our way up from the simple to the insane. Beginning with the Reverso tribute monoface small seconds. Among the less complicated of the Reverso releases this year, it's an all pink gold look that really stands out. Plus, it's got a pink gold Milan link bracelet which is exquisite. It also comes with a golden colored finely grained dial and is powered by a manual wind caliber 822 movement. Then we have the Reverso tribute minute repeater. A watch that's the epitome of business in the front and party round the back. The front dial features a guosade swirling barley seed pattern elevated by several layers of teal blue enamel while the reverse reveals a skeleton dial, a visual feast featuring hand beveing and brushed and grained surfaces. This watch is powered by a newly developed manual wind caliber 953 which includes crystal gongs for a more penetrating sound. Then we have the reverso tribute geographic where the reverse dial features an innovative world time display with a 24-hour world time ring that rotates around the center of a polished silver globe with blue lacquer ocean. And then there was the hybrris artistica caliber 179 in white gold with a stunning blue lacquer dial and a skeleton reverse dial. It features a gyro tobon visible from both sides of the dial and is limited to just 10 pieces. Onto IWC now and this is the big pilot's watch shock absorber tobon skeleton XPL. This watch features a 44mm case made from serotanium and it's equipped with the spring protect system which protects the Torbon against shocks. It's limited to just 100 pieces. Then we have the Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph perpetual calendar digital date month and maybe that's a new record for the longest watch title. Not sure. But this watch is 43 mm in black serotanium and packs in a perpetual calendar with large double-digit displays for both the date and the month as well as a flyback chronograph. There was also in great abundance, most notably thiser perpetual calendar 41, which sees IWC equip its Gerald Genta classic with one of watchmaking's most revered complications. Cartier now and this is the Privy Tank Agish. And if you don't like dials with hands and numerals, but instead you want more brushed metal and little windows, then this might be the watch for you. It's an uber minimalist watch with a display consisting of two apertures, one for the hours and the other for the minutes controlled by a crown at 12:00. And there's also one available with the windows at an angle. And there was also this Tank Louie Cartier model available in yellow and rose gold. This updated icon boasts the automatic caliber 1899MC which has a power reserve of 40 hours. Next, Bulgari were up to their old magic tricks again with their 10th world record. This time for the thinnest Torbjon watch. This Bulgari Octimo Phenisimo Ultra Torbon has a total thickness of just 1.85 mm. That's as thin as a gnome's coin. And finally, we have the new releases from Panerai. Starting with this new trio of Luminor Mariner, the PAM03312, 3313, and 3314 in black, blue, and white. Featuring Panery signature sandwich dial, copious amounts of loom, 500 m of water resistance, and the automatic caliber P980. There was the olive green dialed PAM 03325, a 44mm Mariner clad in titanium. There was the PAM 03323, now featuring a new V-shaped bracelet with quick length adjustment. And then the 44mm Pam01575, constructed from platinum tech and featuring the caliber P4100, an automatic perpetual calendar movement with GMT function that can be controlled by just the crown. And lastly, there was the Jupitarium, Panerai's planetarium clock, consisting of 1,650 parts and with a 40-day power reserve that replicates Galileo's geocentric perspective. You know the one, I'm sure. Certainly one of my favorite perspectives. It also comes complete with a retrograde function to simulate planetary motion. Phew.
