Watches and Wonders 2025 kicked off in Geneva, Switzerland, on April 1st with plenty of exciting new developments for the world of luxury watchmaking. Originally known as the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), Watches and Wonders has become the central platform for presenting new watch collections and groundbreaking innovations. The annual event provides the perfect stage for brands to showcase their new creation for watch enthusiasts.

Here are some of the exciting new releases and developments from Watches & Wonders 2025:

IWC Schaffhausen

IWC Schaffhausen introduced a line of watches inspired by F1, the upcoming movie starring Brad Pitt, that arrives on Apple TV in July. IWC Schaffhausen's illustrious history with the sport makes sense as an inspiration for this newest collaboration, using F1 as inspiration for the three new releases.

Ingenieur Automatic 40 Limited Edition

This 40 mm version of the Ingenieur Automatic is designed to reference the bespoke prop watch Brad Pitt's character Sonny Hayes wears in the upcoming movie F1. IWC Schaffhausen collaborated with a design studio specializing in bespoke timepieces to create the original prop. Inspired by that unique piece, IWC Schaffhausen is releasing this special edition of the Ingenieur Automatic to celebrate the film. Limited to 1,000 pieces, the "grid"-patterned green dial and gold-plated appliques match the design worn by Pitt in the movie.

This piece is much more than a prop. It carries the same comfort and precision that have made the Ingenieur a versatile sports watch for the 21st century. The gold hands and gold-coated metal markers are filled with Super-LumiNova® to ensure perfect legibility. The IWC-manufactured 3211 calibre movement that powers this movie-star watch has a power reserve of 120 hours and 10 bar water resistance.

Pilot's Watch Chronograph APXGP

In keeping with its collaboration with F1, IWC Schaffhausen unveiled three "APXGP"-inspired Pilot's Watch Chronographs, named for the fictional racing team featured in the film. Their black, gold, and white elements reference the fictional team's colors, with the APXGP team logo printed in gold on the sapphire back. The Pilot's Watch Chronograph is available in two case sizes: 43mm or 41mm.

Additionally, IWC Schaffhausen released a gold 41 mm chronograph, the Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph. It features a black lacquered dial and ceramic tachymeter bezel. Gold appliques and gold-plated hands filled with Super-LumiNova® elevate the watch to movie-star status. This watch is worn by Damson Idris in the film, on the wrist of his character Joshua Pearce. It features 100 meters of water resistance and 46 hours of power reserve.

All three chronographs feature the IWC-manufactured 6985 Calibre, engineered for performance, reliability, and precision. The hours and minutes are displayed in two totalizers at 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock, with stopped minutes at 12 o'clock to enhance readability. The movement's classic column-wheel design enables the wearer to accurately measure stop times of up to 12 hours, proving that it's built both for the camera and the track.

Pilot's Watch Chronograph Perpetual Calendar with Digital Date-Month

IWC Schaffhausen's last release is the first perpetual calendar in the Pilot's Watch collection. In line with the precision and technical prowess we've come to expect from the Formula 1 universe, this highly complicated chronograph offers a perpetual calendar with a digital indication for the date and the month and a combo totalizer at 12 o'clock, all encompassed in a 43 mm Ceratanium® Case.

Hublot

This year's Hublot is celebrating twenty years of the Big Bang collection. Over the past 20 years, Hublot has established the Big Bang as one of the most innovative styles on the market, characterized by its distinctive materials and design. To celebrate its status as a 21st-century Icon, Hublot revisits significant moments in the collection's history with five limited-edition models. These models feature emblematic details from the first iterations of the collection, including pinched lugs, a knurled bezel edge, and the distinctive Big Bang silhouette. All Big Bang 20th anniversary pieces feature a special gold oscillating weight and a crown specially engraved with a Hublot 20th anniversary logo.

Titanium Ceramic and King Gold Ceramic

Hublot is releasing 500 pieces in Titanium Ceramic, paying homage to the "Art of Fusion" ethos at the collection's heart. These watches, along with the 250 pieces of special edition King Gold Ceramic, feature a new 43 mm diameter but still retain the pinched lugs and polished bezel of the original. The carbon-patterned dial merges the stylings of the Big Bang Unico with Arabic numerals and the automatic flyback chronograph manufacture caliber.

Red Ceramic

Red was initially an accent color of the original Big Bang collection, but with this 20th anniversary model, Hublot has given the color room to shine. Hublot has historically pioneered ceramics in vivid colors, a notoriously difficult feat as each color requires specific pigments and temperatures to retain structural integrity. Hublot's first vivid ceramic was red, unveiled in 2018. To represent this historical technical achievement, Hublot is releasing a Red Ceramic Big Bang with a carbon-patterned dial, limited to only 100 pieces.

All Black

Most sports watches lean into increasing legibility, but Hublot broke the mold with the All Black Big Bang limited edition in 2006. The All Black edition followed the "invisible visibility" concept, which eliminated colors and light to create a stealthy style. For the 20th anniversary, Hublot revives this concept with a matte and polished black ceramic Big Bang. The carbon-pattern dial, standard on each 20th Anniversary edition, is a first for the All Black Big Bang. This model is limited to 500 pieces.

Magic Gold

Magic Gold represents Hublot's ability to master advanced materials. First perfected in 2011, it was the world's first and only scratch-resistant 18-karat gold alloy, combining the strength of ceramic with the elusive luster of a fully gold case. In honor of this achievement, Hublot released a Magic Gold edition of the 20th Anniversary Big Bang, limited to only 100 pieces.

Panerai

Panerai has also reimagined an iconic collection for its releases at Watches and Wonders 2025 . The Luminor collection has been beloved for over six decades, constantly evolving with the Maison’s drive for excellence. Panerai also examined a much more distant past, with a timepiece inspired by the work of Galileo. Here are the exciting new creations from Panerai:

Luminor Marina

The new Luminor Marina refines this classic's performance, resilience, and comfort while retaining its emblematic identity. Iterations of the Luminor Marina stunned in neutral white, black and blue dial colors. Upgrading its water resistance to 500 meters, this release changes the standard for the Luminor collection. Super-LumiNova® X2 on the hands and dial markers ensures optimal legibility in any condition, while the introduction of the P.980 movement offers a traversing balance bridge that improves stability. The three-day power reserve is an extra delight in this reliable and precise Panerai.

Luminor Marina Titanio

The Marina Titanio takes a further step into technological advancement. Crafted from Grade 5 Titanium, this 44mm style is 44% lighter to ensure durability and comfort. The bold olive-green details on the sun-brushed dial and the suede calf strap pay tribute to vintage military designs.

Luminor Perpetual Calendar GMT Platinumtech™

Further reinventing the Luminor collection is this high-complication watch with a bold platinum construction. Made from Platinumtech™, its 44mm case is scratch-resistant with a satisfying weight. The perpetual calendar's intricate workings are displayed within a striking blue sapphire crystal dial, revealing the watch's genius without sacrificing legibility of the day and date functions.
