New releases from TAG Heuer, Universal Genève, Vacheron Constantin and more

Pietro Pilla

While all eyes last week focused on the result of the GPHG, we still saw numerous big releases. Among these, we also had something of our own – the last chapter of the year-long celebration we’ve had for the 10^th anniversary of Time+Tide, our collab with TAG Heuer. Kurono is also celebrating the opening of its first salon overseas in Shanghai with a special edition, Panerai released one for the left-handers and Universal Genève unexpectedly shared a teaser of what will probably come in 2026. Discover all the rest of our weekly selections below!
