With the Lo Scienziato Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Titanio PAM578, Panerai debuts a case-making technique previously unseen in the industry

A new year deserves an all-new complication wristwatch so, in conjunction with the year of the monkey, we bring you the latest Gyrotourbillon to rock time.

At 5.60mm thick the new Altiplano is the thinnest in its dazzling class so once again, watchmaker and jeweler Piaget crowns itself king of thin chic.

If you have ever wondered what a watch with retrograde hours, variable speed minutes and on-demand animation looks like, Van Cleef & Arpels shows you.

Leading the way for the brand in 2016 are the Big Pilot’s Heritage Watch 48 and 55; these models are so named because of their respective sizes.

A power-reserve on-demand timepiece, this might be the only such complication in a wristwatch. It debuts officially at the SIHH 2016.

German fine watchmaking stalwarts A. Lange & Söhne is introducing the tourbillon with a stop-seconds and zero-reset function in a Handwerkskunst edition.

Swiss watch firm Richard Mille made waves with the RM 016 Ultra Thin model in 2010 and the company is stirring things up for 2016 with the RM 67-01 Automatic Extra Flat. Now this new model, a pre-SIHH release, is based off the RM 010 so collectors will be familiar
