The 2025 edition of Geneva Watch Days opened with a slew of new introductions, adding substance and excitement to the weekend of luxury watch events, seminars and celebrations. The show, now in its sixth year, has become an important date on the calendar for watch lovers and the trade alike, and stands as the most inclusive show based on new introductions from the 66 participating brands. Here are just a few of the launches from the weekend.
This is the last in a trilogy that celebrates NASA space exploration, and as such, it has an otherworldly meteorite dial. The titanium case is unusual in that it features something called a Cerakote H140 coating, which gives it a bright white glow. It’s limited to 60 pieces. Fun fact: The caseback is engraved with a meteor comparison chart that explains the difference between an asteroid, a meteoroid, a meteor, a fireball and a meteorite, in case you’ve always wondered.
A pure minute repeater—without other high watchmaking functions as part of a grand-complication package—is a rare thing. Even rarer these days is a repeater that does not show its gongs and hammers on the dial side. This minimalist repeater in vintage-y yellow gold appears in a cushion case—a first for the brand—and a glossy onyx dial. Only 10 pieces a year will be made. Fun fact: The strap is black sheep leather.
