In the watch-loving community, all eyes are on Geneva, Switzerland, right now. That’s where the 2024 edition of Watches and Wonders is being held from April 9 to April 15. Iconic luxury brands such as Cartier, Chopard, Van Cleef & Arpels, TAG Heuer, and Chanel all have a strong presence at the annual expo, where brands unveil their newest timepieces in front of a global audience of press and insiders. Luckily for watch enthusiasts, the final three days are open to the public.
Below, I rounded up my favorite new watches that just debuted in Geneva. Some are durable and practical, while others are fanciful and precious. Select styles will be available to purchase, and others will only be offered in extremely limited quantities. In the case of one Chanel watch, for instance, only 12 timepieces will be made. How’s that for exclusive? Scroll down to learn about my favorite launches from the 2024 edition of Watches and Wonders.

The Lady Arpels Brise d’Été watch by Van Cleef & Arpels is a true work of art. “White- and yellow-gold butterflies rendered in plique-à-jour enamel not only tell the time, but flutter off thanks to an on-demand animation module that also breathes life into the flowers and their stems,” the brand explains in a press release.
Tudor

Hermès

An instant classic, the new Hermès Cut watch comes in a wide variety of styles. You can choose one with a steel bracelet, shown above, or go with a two-tone version in steel and rose gold. Or perhaps you’re feeling sporty, in which case you’d gravitate towards the rubber strap options, which are available in eight different colors. Last but not least, The Cut watch comes in versions with and without diamonds. The choice is yours.

Behold: The striking new Hermès Arceau Chrous Stellarum watch. “The characters—dashing skeleton riders astride their noble steeds—are embodied in mobile yellow gold appliqués, engraved and painted by hand,” the brand explained in a press release.
Jaeger-LeCoultre

Jaeger-LeCoultre explained the most intriguing element of its new watch in a statement: “Powered by the new Calibre 391, the Duometre Chronograph Moon presents an intriguing contrast between the lightning-fast operation of the chronograph— which can time intervals as small as 1/6th of a second—and the slow rhythm of the moon as it passes through its cycle in 29.53 days, complemented by a Night and Day display.”
Cartier

The mythical chimera, a cross between a zebra and a crocodile, inspired this jaw-dropping Cartier Animal Jewelry watch that debuted at this year’s Watches and Wonders.

The new Reflection de Cartier design is the ultimate melding of the watch and jewelry worlds. The open bracelet features a dial on one side and a mirror on the opposite side. The diamond-set white-gold version is pictured above, and it also comes in yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold paced with colored stones. It’s driven by a quartz movement.

Fans of the classic Cartier Santos watch will love this updated version. It’s called the Santos de Cartier Dual Time watch because it can display two time zones, making it perfect for traveling.

Six years after Piaget debuted the thinnest watch in the world, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept, the house has again pushed boundaries. The new version, unveiled at Watches and Wonders, is just as thin as its predecessor at just 2 mm thick, yet can handle the 25% additional power required by the new tourbillon complication. Impressive.
Baume & Mercier

Baume & Mercier’s new Clifton M0A10756 watch features a lacquered blue dial and matching alligator strap. It’s driven by the Baumatic manufacture movement, which the house designed in Les Brenets, Switzerland.

Baume & Mercier also just launched the minimal Hampton M0A10760 boasting a rectangular steel case. The brand touts this timepiece as “the epitome of French-style elegance,” and I can’t help but agree.
