Daniel Roth launches the Tourbillon Platinum, a contemporary revival of the iconic 1988 C187 reference and a powerful continuation of the Maison’s renewed golden era. Crafted from platinum, a metal traditionally reserved for the most exceptional creations, the new model preserves the brand’s signature double ellipse case while refining it for a more elegant profile and improved ergonomics. The anthracite white gold dial showcases hand executed guilloche work completed line by line by a Maître Guillocheur, while the in house DR001 calibre reveals its hand finished architecture through a sapphire caseback, complete with black polished steel, slim Côtes de Genève and gold chatons. With an 80 hour power reserve and a design philosophy rooted in timeless haute horlogerie, the Tourbillon Platinum stands as a tribute to Daniel Roth’s legacy and a defining statement in the brand’s modern renaissance.

Crafted entirely in matte black ceramic with a striking cherry red sunburst dial, the watch introduces a refined two tone aesthetic while preserving the SUB lineage’s technical DNA, including the COSC certified automatic movement, dual scale unidirectional bezel and 300 meter water resistance.

Gerald Charles- Maestro GC39 Remaster Diamond Baguettes
Gerald Charles presents a striking Dubai Watch Week exclusive with the Maestro GC39 Remaster Diamond Baguettes, a unique creation celebrating the Maison’s 25th anniversary through artistry, innovation and homage to Gérald Charles Genta’s visionary codes. The piece is adorned with a bezel set with sixty baguette cut diamonds totalling 2.66 carats, adding brilliance to the iconic Maestro case architecture. Its dial debuts the proprietary meta guillochage technique, an intricate micro chemical engraving process that layers multiple patterns to form a dramatic Baroque inspired star motif that shifts with the light. At twelve o’clock, a rare jumping hours complication animates the design with a rotating disc that advances instantly every sixty minutes, paired with a lapis lazuli centre that deepens the watch’s visual identity. Together, these elements create a poetic balance between mechanical mastery and artistic expression, capturing the spirit of Gérald Charles at a milestone moment for the Maison.
Gerald Genta- Gentissima Oursin 41 mm
Gérald Genta expands its expressive Gentissima Oursin universe with two bold new 41 mm models featuring mesmerising blue and green meteorite dials set within a grade 5 titanium case adorned with 234 white gold beads. Designed and assembled at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, these contemporary interpretations bring a more assertive and masculine presence to the Oursin line while honouring the iconic sea urchin inspired silhouette first imagined by Gérald Genta in 1994. Each dial slice is cut from genuine cosmic meteorite, giving every piece a one of a kind crystalline pattern that shifts beautifully with the light, while Super LumiNova tipped indexes and gold hands ensure clarity. The faceted sapphire crystal echoes the collection’s subtle internal octagonal form, and the Zenith Elite based GG 005 automatic calibre delivers a 50 hour power reserve visible through the transparent caseback. With rubber straps, 50 meter water resistance and a tactile sport chic aesthetic, the Gentissima Oursin 41 is crafted for collectors who appreciate rare materials, sculptural design and the audacious spirit at the heart of the Gérald Genta legacy.
MB&F- HM11 Art Deco
MB and F introduces the HM11 Art Deco, a bold reinterpretation of its architectural Horological Machine concept through the geometric, vertical and graphic vocabulary of 1930s design. Building on the original HM11 Architect’s rotating micro structure with four functional chambers and a central flying tourbillon under a double domed sapphire roof, the new edition transforms the aesthetic with radiating sunbeam motifs, stepped profiles inspired by Manhattan skyscrapers and red stained glass style enamel hands. Designer Maximilian Maertens infuses the watch with Art Deco rhythm through two tone dial plates, sculptural bridges reminiscent of ornamental stonework and a reimagined tourbillon bridge that anchors the visual axis. Crafted in grade 5 titanium and limited to two sets of ten pieces each in blue or green with gold toned bridges, the HM11 Art Deco remains powered by MB and F’s in house manual movement with 96 hour reserve and is wound by rotating the entire case. It stands as a miniature city on the wrist, merging horology and architecture into an expressive collectible work of mechanical art.
Oris – ProPilot Desert Edition
Oris introduces the ProPilot Desert Edition at Dubai Watch Week, a rugged and contemporary evolution of its aviation inspired ProPilot Date, redesigned with sharper lines, improved ergonomics and a striking desert driven aesthetic.

A grained sand beige dial echoes the texture and colour of desert landscapes, contrasted with bold black numerals and hands for high legibility, while touches of red add an adventurous edge.

Purpose built, wearable and visually distinctive, the ProPilot Desert Edition reflects Oris’ commitment to creating mechanical timepieces that deliver performance and character in equal measure.
Parmigiani Fleurier- Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante Arctic Rose

This new Arctic Rose edition brings a shifting pale rose dial rendered in exceptionally fine Grain d’Orge guilloché, paired with the Maison’s signature platinum knurled bezel and fluid stainless steel case and bracelet. The colour pays homage to the historic use of rose in eighteenth century masculine elegance, reintroducing the shade as a confident and contemporary expression of refinement. Powered by the ultra slim PF052 calibre with a rose gold micro rotor and 271 components, the watch merges aesthetic purity with mechanical sophistication, offering an intuitive and intimate way to reclaim moments through its quietly ingenious rattrapante mechanism.
Roger Dubuis – Hommage ‘Sukoon Al Layl’
Roger Dubuis unveils the Hommage “Sukoon Al Layl,” a unique platinum creation that concludes the poetic La Placide series with a tribute to the Maison’s founder and his calm, contemplative spirit. Presented at Dubai Watch Week, the 38 mm piece evokes the serenity of a nighttime desert through a layered dial featuring Astral Blue guilloché waves, luminous mother of pearl segments, Arabic numerals, and a moonphase crafted in aventurine with twin domed gold moons. Every detail reinforces the theme of tranquillity, from the platinum case, crown, bezel and buckle to the Astral Blue calfskin strap woven with rare platinum thread. At its heart beats the RD1472 calibre, combining Roger Dubuis’ historic RD14 automatic movement with the biretrograde Perpetual Calendar module and showcasing meticulous Geneva Seal finishing. “Sukoon Al Layl” stands as a singular expression of heritage, emotion and technical artistry, honouring Mr. Dubuis through a watch that captures the quiet power of the desert night.
