 Bvlgari

Bvlgari marks the Year of the Snake in 2025 with the unveiling of a timepiece that signals a significant evolution in the Serpenti collection. The Lady Solotempo BVS100 automatic movement, the result of three years of meticulous development in the brand’s workshops, exemplifies the perfect blend of intricate craftsmanship and innovative design. Seamlessly integrated into the iconic Serpenti silhouette, this sophisticated movement offers exceptional precision, coupled with an impressive 50-hour power reserve.

Its intricately sculpted oscillating weight, engraved with a snake scale motif, serves as a nod to the symbol of perpetual rebirth. The introduction of this advanced movement elevates both the Serpenti Seduttori and Tubogas collections, transforming Serpenti into more than just a timepiece, but a masterful union of high jewellery and haute horology.

 Louis Vuitton 

The Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence is a testament to the Maison's exceptional watchmaking prowess. Entirely crafted in-house at Louis Vuitton's Geneva ateliers, this timepiece presents an innovative display featuring sculpted guichets, inspired by natural and decorative motifs drawn from the Louis Vuitton family home in Asnières. Offered in both rose gold and platinum, the platinum version is encrusted with 795 snow-set diamonds, while the gold variant develops a unique patina over time. At its heart, the new in-house Calibre LFT MA01.01 ensures precision with a 45-hour power reserve, a 4Hz balance frequency, and flawless finishing.

The Tambour Taiko Spin Time marks the evolution of the patented 3D jumping hour Spin Time complication, first introduced in 2009. The new collection comprises six limited-edition models in 39.5mm and 42.5mm white gold cases, each featuring dolphin grey dials and meticulously crafted cushion-shaped cubes that enhance light reflection. Drawing inspiration from Japanese taiko drums, the redesigned Tambour Taiko case integrates lugs and showcases a harmonious blend of polished and satin-finished surfaces. Powered by a new family of in-house Spin Time movements, the timepieces offer automatic winding, a 45-hour power reserve, and a 4Hz balance frequency. Each calibre boasts a solid-gold rotor engraved with the LV motif and an upgraded, patented Maltese cross gear, allowing bidirectional time adjustment.

 Hublot

Hublot showcases its innovation with three extraordinary timepieces, each pushing the boundaries of modern watchmaking. First, the Big Bang MECA-10, reintroduced after nearly a decade, now comes in a compact 42mm case of King Gold, Titanium, and Frosted Carbon. With its Meccano-inspired movement and signature ring-shaped base plate, this watch features a 10-day power reserve, a visible balance wheel, and a hacking seconds mechanism for precision.

The Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green SAXEM, a limited edition of 18 pieces, features a striking emerald-green SAXEM case—combining sapphire and aluminium oxide rare earth elements for enhanced brilliance. Powered by the MHUB6035 automatic tourbillon movement, it boasts a 72-hour power reserve and a dynamic open dial with a 22-carat gold micro-rotor.

Finally, Hublot celebrates the Year of the Snake with the Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake, a limited edition of 88 pieces. This timepiece features a golden snake wrapping around the chronograph counters, with a snake scale-engraved bezel and a velvet-finished rubber strap. Powered by the HUB4700 automatic skeleton chronograph calibre, it blends innovation with craftsmanship.

Zenith 

 Zenith continues to redefine haute horlogerie with its latest masterpieces: the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow and Defy Skyline Chronograph. The Chronomaster Sport Rainbow is a flawless fusion of precision and vibrant design, featuring a bezel adorned with baguette-cut diamonds and sapphires in a seamless rainbow gradient. Powered by the iconic “El Primero 3600” movement, it operates at a 5Hz frequency, allowing the seconds hand to complete a full rotation in just 10 seconds. Mounted on a refined white gold bracelet, it effortlessly combines luxury with practicality.

Meanwhile, the Defy Skyline Chronograph unveils a striking skeletonised dial, showcasing geometric cut-outs inspired by Zenith’s “Double Z” logo. Its avant-garde design and exceptional craftsmanship make it an undeniable statement piece, epitomising the essence of modern watchmaking.
