New releases from Gerald Charles, Greubel Forsey, Swatch x Blancpain + LVMH Watch Week 2025!

Pietro Pilla

During these past seven days, we saw the 2025 edition of LVMH Watch Week take place between Paris and New York. Fires plagued the initial location of Los Angeles and it was not possible to happen there. All watch brands in the group’s portfolio announced a first round of novelties for the year (the second big one will be Watches and Wonders Geneva), of which we’ve highlighted a selection here. But we had many releases from other brands as well, most notably Greubel Forsey with a new hand-crafted piece and Hermés with one of the most elegant and poetic watches to date. Enjoy the reading!
