Centurion editions and slim new feats—these are all of this year's Watches & Wonders moments that captured our editor’s attention

It’s couture week for the horologically inclined. For its fifth official year, Watches & Wonders is taking place in Geneva, and, as is typical for the week-long convention, it has seen the introduction of many clever new novelties and timepieces with their sights set on greatness. And as the week continues to unfold, here are a few of the pieces that have caught Remix's attention.

Bvlgari presents for a second year
Traditionally tied to LVMH Watch Week (of course), Bvlgari has unveiled a number of creations during the Roman House’s second year at the fair. Alongside a new Octo Finissimo 37mm and platinum Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon, which, at 1.85mm thickness, is truly a remarkable feat, Bvlgari has launched the Serpenti Tubogas Studs Capsule, carrying forward one of its boldest creative hallmarks: the union of gold and steel. Bringing together Serpenti, Tubogas, and the stud, jewellery enters a new dialogue with industrial design to create a truly emblematic timepiece. A piece that sits very cleverly next to the Serpenti Aeterna—entirely pave set with a vibrant composition of coloured gemstones. After all, timepieces should be playful too.

Rolex unveils its 2026 collection
Curiosity with colour seems to be a through-line for this year’s releases, with seven new timepieces from Rolex all considering how colour can both fold into the everyday or rise for a special occasion. A new Oyster Perpetual 41 consecrates 100 years of watchmaking achievements—a very clever collectors edition (read: possibly impossible to get one’s hands on) offered in an unprecedented configuration that expresses with strength, simplicity and elegance, the quintessence of a watch according to Rolex. This holds its own alongside the Oyster Perpetual 36 with a multicoloured lacquer dial decorated with the Jubilee motif and the emblematic Rolex Green of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41.

Van Cleef & Arpels look to celestial cues
Ever the romantic, this delightful Maison has intuited the spectacle of the stars and the heavens, observing the Moon’s subtle variations through a new Poetic Complications timepiece. Expanding its Jour Nuit collection, this year’s creation honours the moon, featuring two overlapping complications housed in a 42-mm case. The first animates the eponymous Jour/Nuit display, while the second ‘astronomical’ complication illustrates the current Moon phase. Elsewhere, featuring a dual-time zone movement, the Midnight Heure d’ici & Heure d’ailleurs watch offers a refined and poetic interpretation of time in two different corners of the planet, and the Ludo Secret epitomises the deftness of the Maison—a High Jewellery masterpiece reimagined as timepiece.

Gucci launches High Watchmaking alongside the fair
While not traditionally involved in the realm, the G-Timeless Métiers d’Art and GUCCI 25H High Watchmaking collections are evidence enough that clever horological advancements are clearly within their wheelhouse. Revisiting themes from the Gucci Archive, each G-Timeless Métiers d’Art model serves as a perfect canvas for the finest artisanal watchmaking techniques. From painted miniatures to plumage, enamelling, and exceptional materials, the four new creations are an ode to the natural world and artfully bring to life the House’s recurring themes of nature, wildlife, and movement. Alongside this is the 40mm GUCCI 25H with its signature architectural form, and two iconic timepiece collections revisited—Horsebit and Bamboo.
