When LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) kicked off its inaugural LVMH Watch Week in Dubai a little over two years ago, the pandemic was still in its infancy. As the global health crisis became a norm in our daily lives, the luxury goods conglomerate – undeterred by the challenges caused by it – trudged on with the second edition in January 2021, held online for health and safety reasons. This year, the third edition was held virtually from Jan 24 to 28.

Four maisons shared their new releases at the highly anticipated event. Bvlgari continues to seduce with bejewelled timepieces, including the stunning Serpenti Misteriosi high jewellery secret watches and the Octo Roma Emerald Grande Sonnierie, the latter a prime example of the house’s expertise in chiming timepieces. There’s also the 30-piece limited edition Octo Roma Blue Carillon Tourbillon, which redefines watchmaking traditions by combining two classic complications.

Zenith goes all out with its Defy collection. This includes the Defy Revival A3642 that revives the first Defy model from 1969, as well as the Defy Skyline, which recalls the unique octagonal geometry often seen on early models in the collection.

Hublot presents big and bold watches, with yellow gold making a return in most of them. The Big Bang Unico Sang Bleu II with a Magic Gold case sees Swiss tattoo artist Maxime Plescia-Buchi celebrating his seventh year of collaboration with the manufacture by employing threedimensional geometry on the latest creation.
