From April 1 to 7, 2025, Geneva hosted Watches and Wonders, the most prestigious event in the world of haute horlogerie. This year’s edition, which saw a record participation of 60 brands, displayed an exceptional array of creations that skilfully blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary trends. Luigi Verga Orologi has selected the most interesting novelties, which will soon be available in store.

Tudor sets the tone for 2025 with standout releases that pay tribute to its heritage while boldly embracing innovation in both style and savoir-faire. Highlights include:

Black Bay 58

The Black Bay 58, which has earned a reputation as an enthusiast’s favourite, now is getting the Master Chronometer treatment. For the first time, the new all burgundy Black Bay 58 also comes on a 5-link bracelet with T-fit.

Pelagos Ultra

Engineered specifically to overcome the challenges associated with saturation diving, this is the most technically capable Pelagos ever made, with 1,000 metres of water resistance, a proprietary bracelet adjustment system, and a 43mm titanium case. It represents a giant stride in technical advancements with a Master Chronometer Certification from METAS. Meet the Pelagos Ultra, ready to reach new depths.

The Art of Balance: Baume & Mercier presents the perfect balance between elegance, functionality, and tradition. The Maison captures each second, transforming it into a singular moment, making life’s most precious instants truly unforgettable.

Riviera 10827

Just as a photographer captures the fleeting nature of a moment—emphasizing the depth of emotion—so time becomes a perspective, a focus, a click, a creative journey. Four new chronographs enhance the iconic Riviera Collection, first introduced in 1973, and now more than ever a masterful blend of form, function, and heritage. Among them, the Riviera 10827, which plays on black and white contrasts: 41 mm case with a white wave pattern, black snailed counters and a stainless-steel bracelet. Automatic, self-winding watch with a power reserve of 48 hours.

Clifton 10771

Baume & Mercier also enriches the Clifton line, which embodies the harmony between classic refinement and modern design. The new Clifton Baumatic 10771 takes a bold step forward, reinterpreting many details to deliver an even more striking elegance. The Clifton 10771 boasts a round case in satin-finished stainless-steel, joining the collection in a 39mm format. The gradient blue lacquered dial, edged by a white minute track and crosshair, highlights the Arabic numeral at 12 o’clock. It is equipped with a self-winding Baumatic movement with a 5-day power reserve.

Renowned for its cutting-edge, high-performance timepieces, the independent and family-owned Swiss brand NORQAIN continues to merge traditional watchmaking with the latest innovations.

Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm

Living by the motto "My life, my way," NORQAIN’s adventurous spirit comes to life in the two new editions of the Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm in Grade 5 Titanium: one with purple accents, the other in a vivid Jade Green—limited to just 500 pieces. Both are powered by the brand’s exclusive NORQAIN Manufacture Calibre 8K, a skeletonized flyback chronograph built for modern explorers.

Wild ONE Skeleton 39mm

Also new are four bold colorways for the Wild One Skeleton 39mm: Hyper Pink, Sky Blue, and Mint—all with black NORTEQ® cases contrasted by their vibrant tones. The Purple Ice Blue edition features a never-before-seen shade of purple paired with Ice Blue shock-absorbing rubber protection—truly eye-catching.

In a continued dialogue between heritage and modernity, Frederique Constant unveiled the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture with a fresh design and an all-new movement—an evolution that redefines timeless sophistication.

The dial sports one of collectors’ favourite colours – salmon – in a steel case that comes in a 40-millimetre diameter. The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture houses the Manufacture FC-776 calibre, the 34th developed in-house by the Geneva-based watchmaker and boasting a three-day power reserve. Free of hour and minute numerals, the watch's dial is simple and minimalist, leaving space for the three perpetual calendar indications on its wide sunray background.
