Best Watches From LVMH Watch Week 2026

###

LVMH Watch Week has been once again and with it has come a flurry of brilliant releases across the entire LVMH Watches portfolio. We have seen both high-horlogy pieces and watches for everyday wear, as well as a whole host of limited editions. Some standout releases and big developments have defined the path the group will be taking in the future, with a lot more collaboration between the different Maisons. Without further ado, let’s jump straight in and see what the pieces are all about…

Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence Guilloche

Last year Louis Vuitton really stepped up their watchmaking game with a series of powerful releases that really put them on the high-horology map. One of those releases was the Tambour Convergence: a seriously classy jump hour. The case is a masterful execution of ‘less is more’ design. However, the piece had one glaring flaw in my opinion: the huge polished dial side of the case. I couldn’t help but think of the scratches that it would end up accumulating in a short period of time, totally ruining the otherwise gorgeous aesthetic. LV have somehow heard my silent misgivings about the piece, and released the Tambour Convergence Guilloché. As you might be able to guess, the watch has now got a mesmerising guilloché pattern adorning the dial side. The new decoration both draws your attention to and from the time display, making this piece visually stimulating and aesthetically pleasing. I really didn’t think that LV would be able to improve this design as much as they have, and for this reason it has to be top of our list. 

It retails for $58,500 USD. Find out more about this watch here.

Zenith Skyline Tourbillon 

Last year I really fell into an obsession with Zenith. Between the collaboration with USM Haller and their fabulous 160th anniversary pieces, I found little room to fault them. Amongst their many iconic designs, none spoke to me more than the Zenith Defy Skyline. I am not often enamoured with integrated bracelet designs, but there’s something about the decagonal bezel, octagonal case, and the discrete bracelet that really capture my attention. I have also developed a new found passion (or maybe folly) for solid gold watches, and so it is only natural that this Rose Gold Zenith Defy Skyline Tourbillon caught my attention. Equipped with a brand new skeletonized tourbillon calibre, this piece really seems to embody all of Zenith’s best bits: from design to calibre, and from proportions to comfort. If I had the hundreds of thousands of dollars required to purchase this piece, you can bet that I would be spending them here: how can you say no to the regal combination of blue and gold in this compelling package.

Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Novak Djokovic Collection 

The Hublot Big Bang Novak Djokovic Collection is Hublot doing what it does best: turning a collaboration into a full-force statement piece. Built around the Big Bang’s aggressive, modern silhouette, this Djokovic edition leans into high performance and high visibility. The 44mm case and vivid colour scheme deliver instant wrist presence and a very powerful statement worthy of such a legend. The tourbillon at the heart of the watch reminds you this isn’t just branding, Hublot have serious technical capacity that they are not scared to deploy. My favourite detail is by far and away the small rotor at 12 o’clock, it is so rare and unique to see the winding mechanism in this way. Many brands would make this the centre of their piece, but not Hublot. Love it or not, it’s unmistakably Hublot: bold, technical, and made to win attention as effortlessly as Djokovic wins matches.

These Hublots retail for $121,000 USD. Find out more about this powerful collaboration here.

Tiffany Timer Chronograph

The new Tiffany Timer chronograph was absolutely the last thing I could have predicted for this year’s LVMH watch week. Tiffany stamped Patek Phillippe Nautiluses broke all kinds of records and are still in extremely high-demand. The watch world was so taken with the ‘Tiffany’ blue, that turquoise watches have also been highly prised, regardless of the brand. Tiffany, who already have a reputable horology collection, have taken their game to the next level. Pairing up with Zenith, who could now be considered as the movement supplier for the LVMH Group, Tiffany are delivering a chronograph with performance comparable to that of an El Primero, but with a completely reworked and unique visual package: one that is almost certainly more opulent. Indeed, opulence is probably the best word to describe this watch with its platinum case and baguette diamond indices. This is a promising start for a new era of Tiffany’s horological journey.

Daniel Roth Extra-Plat Skeleton 

The Daniel Roth Extra-Plat Skeleton is by far and away the most impressive watch that was released during this year’s LVMH Watch Week. I will say it now: skeletonization is always an impressive feature on a high-end watch. It is far too easy to reduce it removing matter from the movement. The process requires a ton of thought and extra-work when you are working with such high-end designs and pieces. I can only imagine that working with the Extra-Plat (or ultra-thin) platform only complicates the task further. You only have to scrutinise the way that the hands are connected to the mechanism beneath it to start recognising the challenges. Moving away from the technical feat for a second, I want to talk about the case shape. The flat-sided oval shape is what draws me towards the watches, having never really seen anything like it anywhere else. There is something about the stepped case and bezel, that manage to make the look simple but very refined at the same time. When all is said and done, you either come for the case and stay for the technical mastery, or you come for the impressive watchmaking and stay because you’ve been enchanted by the gorgeous design.

Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer

TAG Heuer is a brand we will always associate with motor racing, and yet they branch out in the nautical world much more than we think. Having released a nautical Carrera a couple of years ago (to great success might I add), you could be forgiven for thinking that their nautical heritage stops there. In fact, it runs much deeper and starts some time ago with a watch produced for Abercrombie and Fitch if you can believe it. And it is that very watch that today’s TAG Heuer Carrera Seafarer is based on.   Built on the brand’s sharp Glassbox Carrera platform, it pairs a clean, nautical palette with genuine functionality, headlined by the Calibre TH20-04 and its highly complex tide indicator. This is not just a pretty complication added for show, this is truly functional (admittedly less useful if you live in the Midwest as opposed to on the coast). It strikes a good balance between sportiness and heritage, you still get the feeling from the original piece without feeling like it is a fragile reissue. The standout detail is the additional pusher at 9 o’clock, which indicates the tide display, giving the watch a slightly eccentric shape. If you loved the regatta timer, but were looking for something with a little more heritage, this is definitely for you. 

This Carrera Seafarer retails for $8,800 USD, find out more here.

Bulgari Maglia Monete Milanese Secret Watch 

The Bvlgari Maglia Monete Milanese is Bvlgari at its most Roman. You can choose to interpret this statement one of two ways.  The first interpretation  is through the bold, textural, and unapologetically decorative Roman design executed with the refinement of true high jewelry. Secondly you can, rather unoriginally, choose to call it Roman because of the Roman coin enclosed into the hinged dial cover. The house’s iconic Monete motif turns ancient coin-inspired elements into wearable sculpture, blending heritage references with a distinctly modern sense of glamour. It might surprise you, but Bvlgari almost never do a Milanese bracelet, so this is particularly poignant to find it on their most Roman of designs.  This feels less like a conventional watch and more like an object of adornment: tactile, expressive, and rich with character. In a landscape dominated by sporty minimalism, the Maglia Monete stands out as something rarer: an ornament with intent.

Gerald Genta Geneva 

As enthusiasts we often obsess over the holy grail of watch designers: Gerald Genta. The Royal Oak, the Nautilus, and the Ingenieur are all highly prized as a result of his commanding work on their designs. And yet, for some reasons unbeknownst to me, enthusiasts never seem to hold the designs delivered with his name on them in the same esteem. However, I think the release of the new Gerald Genta Geneva is going to change things drastically. Obviously, it will not hold the same kind of weight as the aforementioned icons, but it doesn’t need to: it is competing in a completely different weight class, a dressier one. That being said, the spec sheet is powerful: equipped with a Zenith calibre and almost unrivalled finishing on the dials at this price point, this watch is to die for. For me, the most compelling factor is the sort of round, sort of square case that keeps making you take another look at it. Available in both white and rose gold, these are definitely worth your while if you’re in the market for a dress watch that is a little less mainstream.

Zenith Defy Revival A3643

Zenith does many things well: movements, blue dials, fabulous designs. One thing that I think they do especially well, and that is also quite overlooked in my opinion, is resurrecting their own classics. They do not try too hard to make the watches look vintage or aged. No, they make them with modern tech and specs, as if they had come out of the workshop when it was initially produced.  Based on one of the very first Defy models from 1969, this revival keeps the sharp, geometric spirit intact, most notably through its compact 37mm octagonal steel case and the instantly recognizable bezel. The result feels unapologetically like a futuristic tool-watch even decades later. Paired with a crisp, sunray-finished dial and Zenith’s airy steel ladder bracelet, it wears with surprisingly easily despite the strong silhouette. Underneath, the Elite 670 automatic movement keeps things clean and reliable. It’s a watch with vintage attitude, rebuilt for the expectations of today’s market.

This Zenith retails for $7,800 USD. Find out more about this watch here.
