Our Top Picks From LVMH Watch Week 2025

With last year's leadership reshuffle among the watch brands of the LVMH group in our rearview mirror, the 2025 edition of LVMH watch week re-centers all the attention on the novelties being presented in New York and Paris. Three iconic brands, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and L’Epée 1839 joined the prestigious line-up of Maisons that have regularly taken part in the event in previous years — Bulgari, Hublot, TAG Heuer, Zenith, Daniel Roth and Gérald Genta.

Each brand stayed true to its core essence with some brands adding a bit of “oomph” to some of their collections. Read through to discover our favorite releases from the 2025 LVMH Watch Week.

Louis Vuitton’s New Spin On The Tambour

The Spin Time complication represents an iconic pillar of Louis Vuitton’s haute horlogerie collection and became the first movement patented by La Fabrique du Temps in 2009. Conceived by Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini – the founders of La Fabrique du Temps and arguably the industry’s most captivating watchmaking duo – who were inspired by the flap displays of airports and train stations, the original movement was created exclusively for Louis Vuitton, and cemented the place of the French Maison as part of the high watchmaking world.

Sixteen years after the first introduction of this complication, and with La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton fully integrated within the LVMH group, a new Tambour Taiko Spin Time collection is introduced featuring six limited-edition variants split into two sizes, 39.5mm and 42.5mm, all cased in 18k white gold and equipped with all-new in-house calibers made entirely for the new collections.
 

The new Tambour Taiko case, named after the large Japanese ceremonial drums, has been refined to become slimmer and include integrated lugs. The high level of finishing showcases the in-house skills of case makers at La Fabrique des Boîtiers with an elegant mixture of  mirrored and satin surfaces paired with relief and recessed elements.
 

First up in the new collection is the Tambour Taiko Spin Time, housed in the 39.5mm white gold case and powered by the new LFT ST13.01 calibre. Paired with an integrated rubber strap complementing the dial, this version is the sportier and more versatile version of this new collection. A jeweled version is also available with baguette-cut diamonds on the lugs and dial.

The Tambour Spin Time Air is the big brother of the Spin Time and, as it name suggests, features a “floating” display of the time just as if the spinning cubes were levitating in the air. It features the same movement as the standard Spin Time but in the larger 42.5mm white gold case. An iced-out version showcases over 1,000 diamonds set by hand and arranged in a snow setting all over the timepiece.

The Tambour Taiko Spin Time Air Tourbillon combines the floating time display of the Spin Time Air and adds another element engaged in fighting gravity, the flying tourbillon complication. With most of the space taken up by the spinning cubes, an impressive reengineering work had to be done in the new LFT ST05.01 caliber to have the tourbillon cage position on the dial on top of the base caliber, and with the minute hand also placed under and around the dial.

Last but certainly not the least: the Tambour Taiko Spin Time Air Antipode. Powered by the new in-house LFT ST12.01 caliber, this model blends the jumping hour mechanism with a 24-time zone indication but in a way that has never been done before. Local time is indicated via the yellow hour pointer and a conventional minute hand, but the 24 time zones are split up on the 12 cubes of the spin time mechanism with each cube representing two cities that are exactly 12 time zones apart. The background colour of each city provides the day-night indication.

Daniel Roth Goes Flat Out

Wristcheck Is An Authorized Retailer Of Daniel Roth

After successfully relaunching the Daniel Roth Tourbillon – first in a souscription model, then followed by a production model joining the main catalogue – the Maison is following the same direction for their newest release: the Daniel Roth Extra Plat Souscription.

First introduced in 1990, the original Extra Plat (meaning extra flat in French) was an ultra-thin and very elegant dress watch, and one of Daniel Roth’s personal favorites. This modern iteration of it retains all the design cues of the original but with an all-new in-house movement, the DR002. Just was with the Daniel Roth Tourbillon, the movement development of the new Extra Plat is directly overseen by Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini, the founders of La Fabrique du Temps.

The 18k yellow gold case keeps the double ellipse form and the same dimensions as the Tourbillon model, but unlike the original model which featured a pinstripe guilloché pattern on the dial, the new Extra-Plat showcases a hand-engraved Clous de Paris pattern which is turned by one artisan in a process that requires at least 10 hours of work per dial.

A New Heart For The Bulgari Serpenti

As the Chinese calendar celebrates the Year of the Snake in 2025, Bulgari is taking this opportunity to refresh their iconic Serpenti collection and unveil an all-new in-house automatic movement developed and produced entirely at its manufacture in Le Sentier. The BVS100 Lady Solotempo automatic movement is featured across all of this year’s novelties and joins Bulgari’s family of in-house movements, following the Tourbillon in 2020 and the Piccolissimo in 2022. To highlight their new updated mechanical heart, each new model features the word “Automatic” on the dial.

The collection includes a variety of case materials and dial colors, and the slightly refined case of the Serpenti is adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds.

Bold And Dazzling For Zenith

Following on last year’s rose gold Zenith Chronomaster Sport which featured a meteorite dial and a gem-set bezel, the brand follows up this year with a white gold version of the Zenith Chronomaster Sport adorned with a full “Rainbow” bezel with almost 4 carats worth of precious stones.

The second novelty from the Maison is a skeletonized version of their large and sporty Defy Skyline Chronograph model. Zenith’s skeletonization enhances the angular design of the Defy Skyline and creates interesting play on light within the timepiece. The calibre El Primero 3600, which powers the collection, also receives a skeletonization work while still maintaining the same performance.

TAG Heuer’s Focus On Racing

2025 is a big year for TAG Heuer with the brand celebrating its 160th anniversary, and also starting its contract as the title watch sponsor of Formula 1. It is clear that this year will be a big focus on racing and the brand is already setting up the pace for LVMH Watch Week with novelties centered around the Carrera collection.

The highlights are arguably the TAG Heuer Carrera “Glassbox” Chronograph and the Carrera “Glassbox” Chronograph Tourbillon, both presented with a striking smokey purple sunray dial. There is no doubt that the dial is the star here with a smooth gradient effect going from deep black on the outskirt of the dial to a rich purple hue at the center.

Celebrating 5 years of partnership with Porsche, TAG Heuer is releasing the Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye in 2 limited edition versions with designs inspired by historic Heuer dashboard times. The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche Rallye features red lines on the right side of the flange represent a bright visual for speed and the azuré subdials with silver rings add depth to the dial. In a nod to endurance in racing, the watch is powered by the in-house TH20-08 Chronosprint movement with an impressive 80-hour power reserve.

To mark the start of the Formula 1 partnership, TAG Heuer is releasing five new timepieces to mark this exciting blend of history with modern craftsmanship, including a special edition for Oracle Red Bull Racing. These large and bold models, at 44mm in case size, remains light thanks to the use of titanium. A selection of red, blue and yellow colors are available for the dial and the special Oracle Red Bull edition featured an engraving on the caseback and a checkered pattern on the dial.

Hublot In All Its Complexity

Hublot has been known in recent years to release timepieces featuring innovative materials produced internally by their manufacture. At this year’s LVMH Watch Week, we are seeing new examples showcasing what Hublot is capable of.

The Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green SAXEM leads the pack with a striking emerald-green transparent case, showcasing its MHUB6035 automatic tourbillon movement, and presented in a limited edition of 18 pieces only. SAXEM is a material based on sapphire with similar properties such as hardness and transpareny, but it can take on a diverse range of colors and hues. This material was also seen last year in the Big Bang Unico Green SAXEM.

Staying in the theme of colors, the Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph collection welcomes 3 new limited edition models, for the first time in coloured ceramic (200 pieces each in Sand Beige, Dark Green and Sky Blue) and previously only available in the round Big Bang shape.

This year, the Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 slims down to a versatile 42mm case size with an optimized caliber to fit the smaller housing. Presented in King Gold, Titanium and Frosted Carbon materials, this new version of the MECA-10 retains all the aspects that made waves upon its original release in 2016, with a skeletonized movement with refined finishing and decorations and the impressive power reserve of 10 days.

Gerald Genta Gentissima Oursin Fire Opal

The fourth model in the recently relaunched Oursin collection, this new version comes in yellow gold and paired with screwed fire opal gems surrounding the case. This provide a new level of warmth to the collection and sets itself apart from the other members of the family which retain more classical combinations.

’Epée 1839 Launches A Mechanical Watch Box

Known for creating high-end mechanical clocks, often designed as pure works of art that collectors can proudly display in their homes or offices, L’Epée 1839 is venturing into creating a mechanical watch box for the first time.

Unlike other creations of the brand, where time is often displayed in a unique and creative way, here the timepiece slotted inside the watch box becomes the highlight of this mechanical creation and is used to tell the time.

Inspired by high-end mechanical movements, the Watch Box features a transparent housing with visible gears. Pressing the button on the box activates the mechanical lift system which brings to life the Watch Box and opens the case while simultaneously raising the watch. Closing the cover of the box automatically rewinds the internal mechanism, allowing the Watch Box to be ready for its next watch unveiling.

Diamonds All Over For Tiffany

Jean Schlumberger is one of Tiffany’s most renowned designers, and remains one of only four jewelers that were allowed to sign their work done at Tiffany & Co. One of his most iconinc designs is a brooch introduced in 1965 and titled “Bird on a Rock” where the famed Tiffany Diamond was mounted. At LVMH Watch Week 2025, the Maison unveils two new interpretations of the Bird on a Rock watch.

The Bird on a Rock Full Pavé Diamond watch is a high jewellery timepiece presented in a 36mm case made of 18k white gold paired with a matching bracelet, and set with 1,318 round brillant diamonds totalling over 8 carats. Snow-setting technique is used throughout the timepiece to create a glittering effect, and 30 baguette aquamarines complement the dial.

The Bird on a Rock Tsavorite uses 36 baguette tsavorites set on the rotating outer ring to contrast with the pavé diamond dial. A dark green alligator strap complements the look of the watch. Each version of the Bird on a Rock timepiece will be a very limited production each year.

Tiffany & Co. is also introducing a third timepiece — the Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Twenty Four Stone watch — which takes inspiration from the Sixteen Stone collection, created by Jean Schlumberger in 1959. The signature design element of the collection is the cross-stitch motif in 18k yellow gold which is prominently featured on the rotating ring of the timepiece’s dial which has 24 round brillant diamonds totalling 1 carat.
