Introducing: Richard Mille RM HJ-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon—Turning Jewelry Into Movement Architecture

Richard Mille presents the new RM HJ-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon, the second chapter in the brand's high jewelry saga and a collection conceived to mark 20 years of designing for women. Presented as twelve unique timepieces organized into four chromatic universes—pink, violet, blue, and green—the RM HJ-02 treats gem-setting not as decoration but as architecture, with stones shaping every surface, from the case and buckle to the movement itself.

Introducing: Myst de Cartier—The Objet d'Art Timepiece with an Expandable Bracelet (Live Photos)

There is a meaningful distinction between a watch that incorporates jewelry and a jewelry object that tells time. The new Myst de Cartier, introduced at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, belongs definitively to the latter category—and makes no apology for it. It is one of the most ambitious métiers d'art objects Cartier has presented at the fair in years.

Introducing: Cartier Baignoire Clous de Paris (Live Photos)

There is a particular confidence required to cover a watch's every surface, including the dial, case, and bracelet, in a single, unbroken decorative motif and expect it to cohere rather than overwhelm. Cartier demonstrates exactly that confidence with the 2026 Baignoire, which extends the Clous de Paris hobnail pattern across the entire piece.

Introducing: Richard Mille RM 07-01 Colored Ceramics 2026—The Final Chapter

Five years ago, Richard Mille launched the first RM 07-01 Colored Ceramics, recontextualizing its signature feminine silhouette through the irreverent lens of 1980s Memphis Design. A second chapter followed in 2023. Now, Richard Mille closes the trilogy with The Final Chapter: three new RM 07-01 models that introduce gem-setting to the ceramic bezels and white gold casebands for the first time. Each is limited to 50 pieces.

Introducing: Hermès Cape Cod Mini—Smaller Case, Sharper Identity.

Henri d'Origny's Cape Cod has always been an exercise in productive tension—a square dial locked inside a rectangular case, geometry arguing with itself in the most elegant way possible. Since 1991, the design's anchor-chain link silhouette has proven remarkably resistant to the passage of time, evolving through material and color variations without ever needing to rethink its fundamental architecture.

From the Editor: Is Time for Love—A Valentine's Reflection

Every mechanical watch carries a quiet metaphor the industry trots out each February: the balance wheel oscillates, the mainspring unwinds, and somewhere inside that architecture of steel and brass, a tiny heart beats. The Valentine's Day limited edition is, by its nature, a commercial exercise.

Introducing: Frederique Constant Manchette Golden PVD with Onyx Dial

Frederique Constant isn't known for making provocative statements, but the Classics Manchette has become an unexpected disruptor since its 2025 debut. Now celebrating its first birthday, the Geneva manufacture unveils a golden 2N PVD iteration with a full-black onyx dial, a combination that trades subtle sophistication for unapologetic glamour. This isn't your grandmother’s dress watch; it's a cuff bracelet that happens to tell time, and it revels in that identity.

Introducing: Richard Mille RM 07-01 Starry Night, RM 07-01 Baguette, RM 07-01 Gourmette, and RM 037 Red Gold

Twenty years is a significant milestone in any relationship, and Richard Mille's two-decade courtship with women's haute horlogerie has been nothing short of a masterclass in understanding that strength and elegance aren't mutually exclusive—they're perfectly complementary. As 2025 draws to a close, the brand is spotlighting its feminine universe with a quartet of timepieces that prove technical prowess and precious beauty can coexist in the same tonneau-shaped case.

The Cartier Baignoire: An Oval Icon's Century-Long Journey from Royal Gift to Modern Status Symbol

In a world of circular conformity, one watch dared to be different—and in doing so, became timeless. There's something almost rebellious about the Cartier Baignoire. While the watch world was content with its round traditions in the early 20th century, Louis Cartier stretched the conventional circle into an elegant oval, creating what would become one of horology's most enduring and quietly influential designs.

Introducing: Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 38 Night

Arnold & Son interprets this powerfully symbolic scene through mechanisms and minerals. The astronomical moon complication of Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide is adorned in mother-of-pearl and ruthenium: a delicate, evocative composition that fully expresses the dial-makers’ expertise. The mother-of-pearl marquetry, ruthenium crystal inlays, and abundance of diamonds symbolize the painstaking care lavished on the women’s collections of Switzerland’s most English brand.

Introducing: MB&F LM FlyingT Onyx. The Fifth Iteration in the Stone Dial Saga.

In 2021, MB&F started adding other stone dials including a malachite dial version, a tiger eye dial, and last year the brand presented the 'Coeur de Rubis' dial —aka anyolite, which is a combination of Ruby within Zoisite and is also known as Ruby Zoisite. Today, the brand continues the stone dial saga for the LM FlyingT and presents the fifth iteration with an Onyx dial.

From the Editor: Six Watches I Think Barbie Would Wear. Even if You're Not a Barbie, Take a Look.

The latest Barbie movie just released less than a week ago where Barbie and Ken are having the time of their lives in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land has made the world go nuts about everything Barbie, everything pink, Rosa Mexicano —actually the hue of pink used by Barbie—, and that just made me want to talk about some of the watches that I think Barbie would totally wear because of their color scheme.

Introducing: Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Dazzling Night & Day Green

Capturing the essence of femininity, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Dazzling Night & Day has been reimagined this year in green as a homage to the unspoiled nature that surrounds Jaeger-LeCoultre’s home in the Vallée de Joux and provides a perpetual source of inspiration. Just as the cosmic cycles inspired JLC’s watchmakers to develop a mechanism that displays the night and day on the dial, the fields and forests of the valley surrounding the manufacture inspire designers and artisans.
