Watches and Wonders is an annual exhibition that takes place in Geneva, Switzerland and is the largest watchmaking event of the year; 49 luxury Maisons gathered at the 2023 edition to unveil their latest novelties to the world. Here are the timepieces that captured our hearts.
Chopard Happy Sport 25mm
Dancing diamonds dazzle in a reimagining of the Happy Sport watch, now available in its smallest-ever size and with additional customisation options. The 25mm timepiece features five loose diamonds among a gold spinning top and pearlescent dial, and comes in four iterations including fully polished steel or a diamond-set bezel, and with a double-tour leather or alligator leather strap.

Hublot Big Bang Unico Full Baguette King Gold Rainbow
Nothing screams summer quite like kaleidoscopic gemstones – just ask Hublot. The Maison captures the carefree feeling of summer in a whimsical watch that counts rubies, tsavorites, sapphires and amethysts among its 290 gemstones. Set in 18-carat pink gold, the 45mm creation doesn’t restrict colours to the face; the alligator-and-rubber strap is washed in rainbow hues and fastened with a 30-gemstone clasp. Learn more
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon
Inspired by the Maison’s first tourbillon wristwatch, the Reverse Tourbillon, Jaeger-LeCoultre reveals a pink gold timepiece that highlights the Maison’s expertise. The duo-face concept presents two dials of contrasting aesthetics: the first a traditional timepiece, while the second boasts an alternative timezone and day-night indicator perfect for the frequent traveller.

Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Dual Moon Grand Complication
Vacheron Constantin honours the majestic nature of the moon in a one-of-a-kind double-sided watch with 11 horological complications including a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, moon phases for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and sky chart complete with constellations. The moons take pride of place on the dial, boasting a diamond-cut finish to mimic the imperfections of its surface and the appearance of twinkling stars. Turn the timepiece over and you’ll find a dazzling constellation atop a celestial backdrop. Learn more
Chopard Imperiale
The lotus flower partakes in a sun salutation every morning, opening its petals for sunrise and closing when the sun descends. In fact, Egyptian legend states the sun rises and sets from a lotus itself. Chopard captures this daylight dance through a limited-edition timepiece adorned with sapphires, diamonds and ethically sourced 18-carat rose gold. Hand-engraved petals appear like lace against the backdrop of an ever-changing sky, created by artisans using a rotating disc that introduces nightfall using sapphires and greets dawn with diamonds.
