LVMH Watch Week 2026: Top Timepieces You Need To Know About

LVMH Watch Week 2026 unfolds with the kind of assured ease that comes from experience, the sort of confidence you only get when you understand both your past and your audience. This is not a week built on noise or novelty for its own sake, but on considered decisions, where design feels intentional, mechanics feel honest, and evolution is preferred over theatrics. Move from one maison to the next and a pattern begins to emerge, a shared belief that modern watchmaking does not need to rush or shout, but can afford to be thoughtful, precise, and quietly ambitious. There is optimism here, not the forced kind, but the genuine sense that mechanical watches are enjoying a renewed relevance, shaped by better proportions, smarter materials, and a deeper respect for craft. By the time you step away, it becomes clear that this week is less about individual moments and more about direction, a collective statement that fine watchmaking is not standing still, but moving forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose. With that in mind, here are the key timepieces that defined the week and truly stood out

Zenith DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton

The DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton signals a decisive evolution for the collection, transforming transparency into structure and mechanics into architecture. Housed in a sharply faceted 41mm rose gold case, the watch opens itself entirely to view, revealing an openworked interpretation of the El Primero 3630 SK calibre that feels suspended in space. Stripped of a traditional dial, the movement becomes the visual centrepiece, rising like a miniature skyline framed by a peripheral flange carrying gold-plated, Super-LumiNova hour markers. Rendered in a vivid blue PVD finish with rhodium-plated bevels, the calibre plays with depth, light, and contrast, its geometry reinforced by two sculptural bridges at 10 and 2 o’clock. The one-minute tourbillon at 6 o’clock adds kinetic drama, beating at a high-frequency 5 Hz and delivering a visible, living pulse, while the skeletonised barrel offers a direct view of the mainspring as it unwinds across a 50-hour power reserve. Completed by a solid gold oscillating weight and an interchangeable bracelet and rubber strap system, this limited 50-piece creation blends technical audacity with refined elegance.

TAG Heuer Carrera Seafarer

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer brings the brand’s maritime heritage into sharp contemporary focus, pairing functional sailing instrumentation with the refined clarity of the Carrera glassbox design. Set within a 42mm finely brushed and polished steel case, the champagne opalin dial is framed by a beige flange carrying a crisp 60-second and minute scale. Three colour coded counters define the layout: a lacquered teal blue and beige azuré 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, a beige chronograph seconds counter at 6 o’clock, and a teal blue and yellow lacquered tide indicator at 9 o’clock allowing the wearer to precisely set the tide disc so higher and lower tides align accurately with local conditions. this timepiece has faceted 18K yellow gold-plated applied indexes and matching hour and minute hands are treated with teal blue Super-LumiNova, complemented by a polished gold-plated central chronograph hand. Black printed TAG Heuer branding and Carrera Seafarer text anchor the dial visually. Powering the watch is the in house Calibre TH20-04 automatic movement with column wheel and vertical clutch, delivering an impressive 80-hour power reserve. Designed for clarity, precision, and real world sailing use, the Seafarer balances heritage character with modern technical confidence.

Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Novak Djokovic Goat Edition Blue

The novelty is a highly conceptual tribute that translates one of the greatest careers in tennis into mechanical form. Presented in three expressions inspired by the sport’s iconic playing surfaces, the watch appears in blue for hard courts, orange for clay, and green for grass, with each colour produced in a numbered sequence reflecting Novak Djokovic’s career victories on that surface. Powering the watch is the Manufacture HUB6035 automatic tourbillon movement, delivering an approximate 72-hour power reserve and showcasing Hublot’s technical audacity. Instead of a traditional solid mainplate, the movement is built around a three dimensional lattice inspired by tennis racquet strings, with each ultra fine 0.55mm “string” tensioned and irregularly spaced to mirror a racquet in play. The 44mm case and bezel are crafted from matte recycled composite incorporating Djokovic’s shirts and racquets, giving the watch a deeply personal material narrative. A sapphire crystal dial reveals the movement’s sculptural architecture, while a white calfskin strap with grip tape pattern and blue Velcro closure reinforces the unmistakable sporting DNA of this singular creation.

Louis Vuitton Escale Tiger’s Eye

This 40mm yellow gold and tiger’s eye is a striking fusion of artistry, innovation, and elegance, limited to just 30 pieces. Its centre dial and middle case crafted from tiger’s eye create a singular visual signature, with the stone’s natural gold-brown hues and fibrous bands ensuring that no two watches are alike. The design pays homage to Louis Vuitton’s art of travel, echoing the refined details of the Maison’s iconic trunks while maintaining a contemporary, luxurious aesthetic. At its heart beats the self-winding LFT023 caliber, a high-precision movement measuring 30.6mm in diameter and 4.2mm thick, offering hours, minutes, and seconds, and driven by a micro-rotor in rose gold. With a 50-hour power reserve, the watch combines technical performance with aesthetic mastery. The 40mm case features polished bezel, brushed and polished lugs, and a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, while the open case-back reveals the engraved “1 of 30” plate. Gold hands, PVD-coated titanium seconds hand, and gold indexes complete this unique expression of horological elegance.

Gerald Genta Geneva Time Only Grafite

 

Housed in a 38mm white gold cushion-shaped case, this timepiece combines understated elegance with refined technical precision. The silver-shaded, grained dial provides a textured backdrop that beautifully highlights the rose gold 4N applied hands and indexes, creating a harmonious interplay of light and depth that transforms the watch into wearable art. Powered by the automatic GG-005P calibre, the watch delivers a reliable 50-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, ensuring consistent performance for daily wear.

Daniel Roth Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton

The Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton from Daniel Roth offers a striking openworked reinterpretation that unveils a new facet of the Maison’s watchmaking expertise. Housed in a 38.6mm 5N rose gold case, the iconic double-ellipse frame now exposes the full architecture of the DR002SR calibre, showcasing the elevated level of hand-finishing applied to its bridges and plates while paying homage to the great traditions of high watchmaking. Developed from the DR002, the movement has been reconfigured for openworking, optimising structural rigidity while achieving maximum transparency, and serving as a noble foundation for meticulous, hand-executed anglage.
