Watches and Wonders 2025 wrapped up in Geneva, Switzerland, on April 7th, with a plethora of exciting new releases from brands on the cutting edge of horology. Brands like H. Moster & Cie, Ulysse Nardin, Ressence, and Armin Strom are known for pushing boundaries and releasing styles that reimagine what it means to be a watchmaker. This year was no different, with new releases from each brand that are sure to excite watch enthusiasts all over the world.

H Moser & Cie.


H. Moser & Cie. introduced the Endeavour Pop collection, a collection of round watches inspired by the color of the gemstones incorporated into each dial. These limited-edition pieces combine high horology and high art, drawing from the Endeavor collection's signature minimalist aesthetics, monochromatic designs, and iconic fume dials. To highlight the vibrancy of the gemstones, H. Moser & Cie. has eliminated logos, indices, and any disrupting elements that may detract from the pure color, but don't let their simplicity fool you. Each gemstone style is reimagined into three extraordinary watch complications: a Small Seconds model limited to 28 pieces, a Tourbillon limited to 8 pieces, and an exclusive, one-of-a-kind Minute Repeater Tourbillon in 5N red gold.

Lemon Chrysoprase and Lapis Lazuli


H. Moser and Cie. released six styles in Lemon Chrysoprase and Lapis Lazuli. Lemon chrysoprase, known for its almost neon-like hue, was sourced from South Africa. It's extremely rare to find large diameters of homogeneous sections of this gemstone, making each dial a unique and rare achievement. The Lapis Lazuli was selected for its deep and luminous blue. Each piece continues to have minimal pyrite inclusions, an exceptional quality that is rarely seen.

Deep Orange Coral and Turquoise


Orange Coral and Deep Turquoise are combined in six unique styles. The deep orange coral used in these Endeavor Pop watches is sourced from the Pacific Ocean. The original specimen from which these dials were cut was originally over 6kg, so harvesting enough material was an incredibly rare and impressive. H. Moser & Cie. blends the intensity of the deep orange coral with the striking clarity and intense blue color of turquoise. Its smooth, even texture and lack of visible veining give it a distinctive and almost ethereal quality. These colors combine to create an unforgettable visual impact in the stainless-steel case or the 5N red gold case.

Burmese Jade and Pink Opal


H. Moser & Cie. combines pops of pink and jade in six bright styles. Burmese or "Imperial" jade is one of Asia's most highly revered stones, prized for its translucency and vibrant green hue. The veins, clouds, or speckles that indicate the high value of the stone are matched in the pink opal from Peru. Only the highest-quality pieces of opal were selected to create a smooth and uniform appearance of these dials. The combination of these gemstones results in a canvas of natural elegance.

Ulysse Nardin


In 2021, Ulysse Nardin introduced the Diver X Skeleton, a timepiece that revolutionized the industry as a skeletonized dive watch. Ulysse Nardin is dedicated to pushing the limits of innovation, regardless of its previous accomplishments. So, this year at Watches and Wonders 2025, Ulysse Nardin introduced the Diver [Air], a skeletonized high horology sport watch made from titanium, silicon, Carbon-foil and Nylo®-Foil, resulting in a skeletonized design that weighs just 52g including the strap. Cutting the weight hasn't sacrificed any of the watch's durability, as this dive watch is water resistant up to 200 meters and can withstand the impact of 5,000 G-forces.

These innovative materials are more than just revolutionarily light. Ulysse Nardin is also revolutionizing the use of recycled materials. The sides of the Dive [Air] case are made of two materials : 60% Nylo® and 40% carbon fibre. The Nylo® used is sourced from ocean netting, supplied from a French recycling start-up. At the same time, the carbon fiber is recovered from the world's fastest IMOCA sailing boats and painstakingly recycled. The escapement is produced from an upcycled silicon wafer. Each element of this dive watch is high technology and performance, creating a dive watch designed for the extremes.

In addition to the comfort and unique style of this titanium bracelet watch, Ressence has also equipped the TYPE 7 with a GMT function to seamlessly track a second time zone without interrupting the watch's display.
