One of the biggest launches just ahead of the show is Audemars Piguet’s announcement of not just an update to existing models or a new novelty, but an entirely new collection of watches called Code 11.59.

A quarter of a century ago, A. Lange & Söhne relaunched as a brand under Walter Lang. Among its first releases was the Lange 1 which has since become a pillar timepiece. Its asymmetrical layout and oversize date was an intriguing new design in the ’90s and has since remained timeless. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the latest iteration sports a white gold case, solid silver dial, and a hunter caseback that, when opened, reveals the immaculately decorated Lange caliber 121.1 movement with an engraving of “25” in blue that mimics the watch’s oversize date seen on the dial. A true celebration and a joy to the clients, we can expect only the best.

It will be a launch to remember with a stunning watch that is only for the best of the best. For the first time, it’s offered in a hard gold case and it’s expected to be sold for around $235,000.

At last year’s SIHH, Montblanc unveiled a Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph in steel with a silver-white dial with its MB R200 movement. This year, however, this model is receiving an update. This time around the watch is being offered in a red gold model with a striking anthracite dial and another steel introduction, also with an anthracite dial and silvery-white accents. In alligator leather and red gold, it’s a stunning piece of art you’ll want to showcase on your wrist.

Fresh off his Grand Prix D’Horlogerie De Genève win in the Complication category for the Galet Annual Calendar Montre Ecole, Laurent Ferrier has extended the line with two new pieces that will be presented at SIHH. The black and white opaline dials are a tribute to the contrast and purity of the chess board says Ferrier, whose watches are known for their purity of design.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Thin Moon Enamel

This intense midnight blue watch is one to fall in love with. Here, the color is made even more spectacular with a guilloché finish on a dial created by hand in Jaeger’s Métiers Rare (Rare Handcrafts) workshop. Even the date ring is hand-finished, with raised numerals on a sandblasted background. We can’t help but love this design, and we’re sure you’ll love it too!
