٦. Piaget’s Dazzling Duality: From Warhol’s Legacy to Sixtie Chic
At Watches & Wonders 2025, Piaget revives a pop culture icon with the return of the Andy Warhol watch—now officially named in his honor. This bold 1970s design gets a luxurious update with vibrant gemstone dials like lustrous opal and rich tiger’s eye, wrapped in opulent gold and framed by sapphire gadroons. From playful colorways to intricate craftsmanship, these high jewellery versions pay tribute to Yves Piaget’s colorful vision and the Maison’s legacy in ornamental stones.
On the other side of the Piaget spectrum is the striking Sixtie—a fresh take on vintage glam inspired by the free-spirited energy of the late ‘60s. With its bold trapeze shape, gold bracelet, and sparkling details, the Sixtie isn’t just a watch—it’s a statement. Designed for individuality and offered in steel, two-tone, full gold, or adorned with diamonds and turquoise, it continues Piaget’s iconic “Play of Shapes” with elegance, flair, and a rebellious twist.
٧. Audemars Piguet Paints the Sky in Ceramic
Audemars Piguet reaches for the stars—literally—with the launch of its new “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” ceramic at Watches & Wonders 2025. Inspired by the deep night skies of the Vallée de Joux, this rich blue hue now dresses three Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore models, fusing iconic design with material innovation. The color, first seen on the original Royal Oak dial in 1972, has been reborn in ceramic after years of research, maintaining perfect consistency across all components.
From the openworked elegance of the 41mm Royal Oak with pink gold touches, to the bold sportiness of the 42mm and 43mm Royal Oak Offshore Chronographs, each timepiece reflects AP’s commitment to blending tradition with cutting-edge technology. Beyond their visual impact, these watches are powered by some of the brand’s most sophisticated calibres, including the patented double balance wheel and integrated flyback chronograph. It’s a celebration of 150 years of savoir-faire—written in the stars and now, in ceramic.
٨. Jaeger-LeCoultre Mixes Time and Taste with a Chocolate-Crafted Experience
At Watches & Wonders 2025, Jaeger-LeCoultre takes horological storytelling to the next level with 1931 Café, a new sensory journey created in collaboration with Chef Chocolatier Mathieu Davoine under its Made of Makers programme. Inspired by the iconic Reverso and the spirit of polo, Davoine crafted four daring chocolate creations that blend unexpected flavors—think porcini mushrooms, black olives, and forest pollen—with sculptural, trompe-l’œil presentations. Each bite is paired with a cacao pulp drink, designed to reset the palate and deepen the tasting experience.
This immersive chocolate tasting celebrates the Vallée de Joux’s natural richness and reimagines chocolate as an artistic medium. From “Galop des Bois” to “Douceur du Cavalier,” Davoine’s creations challenge conventions and echo Jaeger-LeCoultre’s ethos: combining tradition with innovation. It’s haute horlogerie, reinterpreted through flavor, craftsmanship, and imagination.
