The 12th edition of Watches & Wonders was held in Geneva from 9 to 13 April 2024, one of the main events in the world of luxury watchmaking.
Verga1947 took part in the event to discover the news to offer its customers and enthusiasts: Umberto, Riccardo and Federico Verga explain the news that most excited them.
Rolex
The Rolex 1908 is now available in a 950 platinum version with an ice blue dial, a color reserved for the brand's watches made in this prestigious metal. On the guilloche dial featuring a rice grain pattern, light plays with the reliefs, giving a variety of reflections with every movement of the wrist.
Tudor
TUDOR introduces a completely new model to the Black Bay line: the METAS-certified Black Bay 58 GMT, which retains the classic proportions of the Black Bay 58 with a 39 mm case and is powered by the new medium-sized GMT MT5450 U Manufacture Caliber.
Cartier
Cartier adds a new element to the Santos-Dumont collection. Thanks to the inverted rotation movement, the Santos-Dumont Rewind can make time flow in reverse.
Patek Philippe
Launched in a limited series on the occasion of the Great Patek Philippe “Watch Art” Exhibition held in Tokyo in 2023, the World Time Ref. 5330 makes its entry into the manufacturer's current collection.
This new generation of Universal Time stands out for a patented world first: the display of the date indexed to local time, i.e. that of the time zone selected at 12 o'clock and indicated by the central hands.
Parmigiani Fleurier
With the introduction of the new Toric Petite Seconde, Parmigiani Fleurier reaches new heights of masculine elegance. These masterpieces demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship, with every element crafted in gold, including the pinnacle of a new manufacture movement and the grené and chevé dials meticulously finished by hand.
Nomos
All 31 watches of the limited edition Tangente 38 with date have a patented NOMOS structure at six o'clock: an extra-large date. Easy to read, elegantly positioned on the edge of the dial and with colors individually matched to the watch design.
H. Moser & Cie.
Designed to offer an unprecedented visual and mechanical experience, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton features minimalist aesthetics and perfect symmetry. One of the most striking features of this model is its transparency. Faithful to its minimalist philosophy, H. Moser & Cie. has eliminated all superfluous material to best highlight and enhance this watch, exposing the bare beauty of its mechanism. The heart of this exceptional, fully skeletonized watch is a one-minute flying tourbillon with a double balance spring that appears to float weightlessly. A bold stylistic statement, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton is simply a manifesto of ingenuity.
Hublot
Unico Orange Ceramic: with this addition to the Big Bang Unico collection, Hublot expands the range of colors by offering a new bright orange that fits perfectly with the arrival of the summer.
Gerald Charles
At Watches & Wonders 2024, Gerald Charles presented the Masterlink, the latest evolution of the iconic Maestro case designed by Mr. Genta himself, with the Maison's first integrated asymmetric bracelet. Slimmer than the Maestro, versatile and instantly recognisable, the Masterlink represents refined elegance that effortlessly combines sophistication and sporty charm. Gerald Charles presents a skillful and brilliant evolution, based on the archives of Gérald Charles Genta, the most famous watch designer of the 20th century and founder of the company.
