Tudor had a strong showing at Watches and Wonders 2025. Nothing revolutionary, but solid expansion of their lineup in directions that make sense.
Black Bay 58 Burgundy # This is the headline. A deep wine-red bezel on the 39mm Black Bay 58 platform. Tudor calls it burgundy, but it shifts between dark red and brown depending on lighting.
Cartier’s best announcement at Watches and Wonders wasn’t a Santos or a Panthère. It was a rectangular watch with no visible hands.
The Tank à Guichets is back. Originally introduced in 1928, this jumping hour complication disappeared from the catalog around 2005. Now it returns as part of the Privé collection.
Rolex dropped a bomb at Watches and Wonders. The Land-Dweller is real, and it’s more significant than anyone predicted.
What Is It? # The Land-Dweller is Rolex’s first entirely new collection since the Sky-Dweller launched in 2012. That’s 13 years between genuinely new product lines. When Rolex creates something new, they mean it.
Geneva transforms this week. Watches and Wonders 2025 kicks off today, and the rumor mill has been running hot for months.
The Confirmed Players # All the usual suspects will be there. Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Tudor, Omega (sort of - they have their own thing but still participate). IWC, Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre. The list goes on.
