In a year where most brands have trimmed their new collections and scaled down on launches, it’s business as usual for Vacheron Constantin as the manufacture released novelties across the entire spectrum. Collections that got people talking are FiftySix, which is completely new-to-market, and Metiers d’Art Les Aerostiers.

Ulysse Nardin’s first batch of novelties after new CEO, Patrick Pruniaux, who hails from Apple Watch and Tag Heuer came on board, include the new Freak, a stunning watch and concept, although the others need more convincing to appreciate.
