Watches and Wonders 2026 LIVE: up-to-date coverage on the biggest watch event of the year

Hublot's Big Bang Reloaded has my favourite skeleton dial yet

Hublot is celebrating the Big Bang's 20th anniversary by introducing a new Big Bang Reloaded collection at Watches and Wonders, featuring five stunning editions.

Measuring 44mm, the Big Bang Reloaded are powered by the HUB 1280 UNICO Manufacture chronograph movement. On the multi-layer dial is a flyback calibre with column wheel, two chronograph counters, hour markers, date window and skeleton hours and minutes hands.

The case of the Big Bang Reloaded features Hublot's iconic screws around the bezel, and an oversized crown that's flanked by two long pushers.

The five versions are titanium ceramic, blue ceramic, dark green ceramic, all black and magic gold, the latter of which is made from 18K gold. The watch comes with a fabric-inspired rubber or black rubber straps.

Hublot also debuted Big Bang Reloaded watches in collaboration with its athlete ambassadors which you can find out more in our rundown of Hublot's Watches and Wonders launches.

Grand Seiko brings the sparkle with ‘Red Lion’ jewellery watch

Grand Seiko has wowed at Watches and Wonders with the ‘Red Lion’ Spring Drive 8-Day Jewellery Watch, and you won't miss it in a hurry!

The Grand Seiko ‘Red Lion’ Spring Drive 8-Day Jewellery Watch features a 44.5mm case made from 18ct rose gold. There are 267 diamonds and 26 garnets on the bezel surrounding the dial.

The dial is made from mother-of-pearl. It has a deep red colour that is left pretty plain, aside from the gold hours, minutes and seconds hands. Powered by the Spring Drive calibre 9R01, the Grand Seiko ‘Red Lion’ Spring Drive 8-Day Jewellery Watch has an eight day power reserve and is finished with a red leather strap.

As you might expect from all the gemstones, the Grand Seiko ‘Red Lion’ Spring Drive 8-Day Jewellery Watch is pretty pricey at £250,000. There are also only eight pieces available worldwide.

Tudor revives the Monarch

Tudor has debuted six new novelties at Watches and Wonders 2026, but the standout has to be the revived Tudor Monarch.

The Tudor Monarch now has a 39mm size with a stainless steel case and a dark champagne dial. With a strong vintage feel, the Tudor Monarch has a black small seconds counter and a minute track.

The hour markers feature Roman numerals from 10 to 2, and Arabic numerals from 4 to 8. The MT5662-2U calibre movement can be seen via the open caseback and gives the Tudor Monarch a 65 hour power reserve. It's a true masterpiece.

Zenith's skeletonised Chronomaster Sport marks a 'first'

For Watches and Wonders 2026, Zenith has introduced the Chronomaster Sport Skeleton in four versions. For the first time ever, the watch features a skeletonised dial and subdials.

Measuring 41mm, the Zenith Chronomaster Sport Skeleton has three chronograph counters and a date window between four and five o’clock. Powered by the El Primero 3600, the movement powers the small seconds, 60-second and 60-minute counters, and the central hours and minutes.

The four versions include two stainless steel cases, one with a green ceramic bezel and the other with a black ceramic bezel. A third features an 18K rose gold with a black ceramic bezel. The fourth, 10-piece limited edition version is in rose gold and has a diamond bezel.

Zenith has also announced more watches so check out Zenith's Watches and Wonders launches.

Ulysse Nardin is a super Freak (watch)

I will never get enough of the Freak puns, and nor will Ulysse Nardin. To celebrate 25 years of the Freak, the brand has debuted the new Super Freak which has been dubbed the most complicated time-only watch ever made.

Measuring 44mm, the Super Freak is built on 35 patents which the Freak has had since 2001. A further eight patents have been introduced, including the exclusive gimbal system which breaks a record as the smallest component.

Another first, the Super Freak introduces the world's first automatic double tourbillon and a seconds display. It has a combination of blue, silver and black colours, and as always with Freak watches, the Super Freak doesn't have a dial, hands or crown. The intricate movement is placed directly at the centre, and it has distinct arrows pointing at the hour markers.

I'm obsessed!

TAG Heuer bets it all on Monaco

TAG Heuer has arrived at Watches and Wonders 2026 and it's betting it all on Monaco!

For fans of the Monaco Chronograph, there's a new generation which features the all-new in-house Calibre TH20-11 movement. It's available in blue, green and black colourways which is much more vibrant than before, and includes more legible numbers and text. The 39mm case is now also available in grade 5 titanium.

The real star of the show, however, is the Monaco Evergraph. Measuring 40mm, the Monaco Evergraph has a one-of-a-kind compliant chronograph mechanism that features just one governing start and stop, and reset components.

The new Monaco Evergraph comes in black titanium with red, and natural titanium and blue. Both dials are skeletonised so you can see the Calibre TH80-00 movement just beneath the chronographs.
