Watches & Wonders 2023

Capitalizing on its swiveling concept, the Reverso Tribute Chronograph marries watchmaking tradition to modern aesthetics. The sophisticated recto echoes the original Reverso while its open-work verso is resolutely modern.

The retrograde 30-min counter is a pure watchmaking twist to transform circular motion into “come and go”. Composed of 14 components, it allows the minute hand to return to its initial position in a fraction of a second. Thanks to this display, the complication adapts perfectly to the rectangular shape of the watch.

More than two decades since it released the first Freak, Ulysse Nardin celebrates its joyously unorthodox watch with the new Freak ONE.

Freak ONE is a new watch inspired by the first Freak featuring its three signature characteristics: no dial, no hands and no crown.

Movement is king as it rotates to tell the time. It's movement doubles as its minute hand, while the hour hand is a pointer set on a rotating disc that sits under the movement. The unconventional Freak has neither a big hand nor a little hand. Instead, its one-hour orbital carrousel tourbillon becomes the minute hand and the hour hand is replaced by a pointer on a rotating disc. The original Freak replaced the crown with a time setting system integrated into the bezel and was wound via a mechanism in the case back.

IWC Schaffhausen introduces the Ingenieur Automatic 40 at the Watches and Wonders exhibition in Geneva. This newly engineered automatic model reflects the bold aesthetic codes of Gérald Genta’s Ingenieur SL, Reference 1832, from the 1970s while meeting the highest standards regarding ergonomics, finishing, and technology.

Stainless steel case, aqua dial, rhodium-plated hands and appliques integrated stainless steel bracelet with polished center links and butterfly folding clasp. 

The SBGE295 runs on Grand Seiko’s Spring Drive Caliber 9R66. The movement has a 72-hour
power reserve when fully wound, and there is a visible power reserve indicator next to the eight
o’clock index on the dial. The 9R66 is a true GMT, so the hour hand is independently adjustable
while the GMT hand remains fixed to home time.

The Sport Collection Spring Drive GMT Triple Time Zone SBGE295 has a patterned dial that represents these sheer cliffs and features a green color designed to capture the brilliance of Hotaka’s short summers.

Depicting two gold moons and a star-studded sky, this poetic complication only needs adjusting every 122 years. Thanks to its folding clasp and three straps – steel, leather, and rubber – equipped with a self interchangeable system, the watch can be personalized according to the owner’s wishes.
