Following the conclusion of Watches & Wonders 2025, the watchmaking world continues to dazzle with an array of exceptional timepieces. From high complications to vintage-inspired divers, this week’s releases showcase the pinnacle of craftsmanship.
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Grand Complication Openface
Vacheron Constantin has stunned enthusiasts with the Overseas Grand Complication Openface, a masterpiece combining a perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and tourbillon. Housed in a lightweight titanium case, the openworked dial reveals the intricate mechanics while maintaining legibility—a rare feat in skeletonized watches.
Christian Selmoni, Vacheron Constantin’s style and heritage director, emphasized the challenges of balancing aesthetics and functionality. “When the dial is openworked, movement components require specialized treatments to uphold both beauty and avant-garde spirit,” he explained.
Despite its substantial 44.5mm diameter, the watch’s refined engineering ensures it remains a wearable work of art. Availability is limited, with pricing disclosed only upon inquiry.
Girard-Perregaux Deep Diver Legacy Edition
Girard-Perregaux revisits its 1969 Deep Diver with a modern Legacy Edition. The cushion-shaped titanium case, sunray-brushed dial, and vibrant orange-blue accents pay homage to the original while enhancing durability.
Limited to 350 pieces, the watch features a metallized trident logo on the caseback, concealing the automatic movement. Though its bold design may polarize purists, the Legacy Edition stands as a testament to the brand’s dive-watch heritage.
Daniel Roth Extra Plat Souscription
Daniel Roth’s ultra-thin Extra Plat Souscription exudes old-world elegance with a manually wound movement and rose gold case. At just 7.7mm thick, the watch’s clean dial and refined architecture evoke classic haute horlogerie.
Limited to 20 pieces, this model underscores Roth’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship fused with contemporary precision.
Ming 29.01 Midnight Worldtimer
Ming’s latest worldtimer combines practicality with avant-garde design. The bezel-free case, domed sapphire crystal, and signature “flying blade” lugs create a striking silhouette.
The ASE 222 movement, visible through the exhibition caseback, captivates with its intricate finishing. Limited to 25 pieces, the 29.01 Midnight Worldtimer reaffirms Ming’s reputation for innovative, wearable art.
