Every January, the world’s most visionary watchmakers gather under the LVMH umbrella to remind us why timekeeping is an art form. LVMH Watch Week 2025 didn’t disappoint – this year’s lineup was a celebration of innovation, heritage, and bold design choices that continue to push the boundaries of what a timepiece can be. Across Zenith, TAG Heuer, Hublot, Bulgari, and Louis Vuitton, the Maison’s distinct identities shone through, offering collectors and enthusiasts a glimpse into the future of horology.

But while there were several releases this year to talk about, five collections in particular truly stole my heart. So, rather than sharing the full suite of 2025 releases, I'm choosing to dive deep into the timepieces I haven't been able to stop thinking about. From the intersections of watchmaking and high jewellery to art-deco references and kaleidoscopic reimagining of colour, These five standout pieces reflect the ethos of LVMH’s watch brands: rooted in heritage, yet daringly modern.

Below, find my top five picks of the best releases at LVMH Watch Week 2025.

Bulgari Lady Solotempo BVS100

At LVMH Watch Week 2025, Bulgari once again reminded us why it sits at the intersection of artistry and innovation. The Lady Solotempo BVS100 Automatic movement isn’t just a feat of engineering – it’s a love letter to the craft of watchmaking, reimagined for the modern wearer.

Three years in the making, this slender calibre is an exercise in precision and elegance. At just 19mm in diameter, 3.90mm thick, and weighing a feather-light 5 grams, it quietly achieves what so many aim for: simplicity in form, power in function. With a 50-hour power reserve and a “Solotempo” display that measures only hours, minutes, and seconds, it offers an understated reminder that less is often more.

Bulgari’s dedication to craftsmanship is palpable. The oscillating weight, visible through a transparent case back, is adorned with seven Serpenti scales that shimmer like a serpent’s skin – an ode to the Maison’s most iconic motif. Available in eight different variations and metals – from rose gold to the iconic Tubogas iterations – there’s a poetry in how it moves, powered by the energy of its wearer, as if breathing life into the passage of time.

This release is more than a timepiece; it’s a symbol of evolution. With the Lady Solotempo, Serpenti continues its transformation – slipping seamlessly between past and present, bridging the mechanical with the mystical. It’s a watch that doesn’t just tell time but shapes it, weaving a story of connection, legacy, and the quiet power of movement.

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph

TAG Heuer certainly went all out this year at LVMH Watch Week. From the nostalgic Carrera Chronograph x Chronosprint Rallye to the classic Carrera Date in its two new pastel shades, there's a piece for every wearer. But undoubtedly, it's the new iterations of the Carrera Chronograph that really stole my heart.

These two new designs – introduced in TAG Heuer’s signature blue and a delicate powdery pink – are a masterclass in precision, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal. A continuation of the iconic Glassbox design, they elevate the Carrera’s legacy with a distinctly refined and feminine touch.

The TAG Heuer Carrera has been synonymous with innovation and performance since its 1963 debut, inspired by the Carrera Panamericana road race. Celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2023, the collection reintroduced the Glassbox – a curved sapphire crystal that enhances legibility while preserving the Carrera’s timeless aesthetic. In this latest release, TAG Heuer takes the design to new heights, incorporating a diamond-set flange adorned with 72 diamonds (0.45 carats) and 11 chaton diamond indexes (0.107 carats). This meticulous detailing ensures every angle radiates brilliance.

The dials, structured with a bi-compax layout and finished with a circular-brushed texture, balance depth and clarity. The rhodium-plated hands glide across the dial with precision, while a discreet date window maintains harmony in the design. Paired with luxurious straps – blue alligator leather for the blue model and matching calfskin for the pink – both feature a pearlescent sheen and an interchangeable mechanism for versatile styling.

Powered by the TH20-00, TAG Heuer’s in-house chronograph caliber, these timepieces deliver precision and performance. With an 80-hour power reserve, a vertical clutch, and a five-year warranty, the movement combines technical prowess with beauty, revealed through the open caseback and its shield-shaped rotor.

With its diamond accents, balanced proportions, and vibrant colours, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph represents a new chapter –effortlessly modern yet deeply rooted in its storied heritage.

Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence

It's easy to see why Louis Vuitton's reimagined Tambour Convergence —a striking homage to Art Deco-inspired guichet (aperture) watches – is one of the most remarkable pieces debuted at LVMH Watch Week 2025. Marking a shift from bold complications to refined minimalism, the Convergence is a testament to Louis Vuitton’s meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision, and truthfully, I haven't been able to stop thinking about this piece since it was released.

Available in rose gold and platinum, the latter dazzling with 795 diamonds, the Tambour Convergence offers a classically sized 37mm case, just 8mm thick. Its tapered design ensures a perfect fit on the wrist, while its construction – crafted entirely in-house at Louis Vuitton’s Geneva facilities – emphasises precision and elegance. The distinctive three-part case features individually soldered lugs and a fluted crown, subtly modernising the Tambour’s iconic silhouette.

One of my favourite features is the watches' point of inspiration – inspired by the light streaming through gilded clouds and the ornate architecture of the Louis Vuitton family home in Asnières, the watch’s display reinterprets the traditional guichet aesthetic. Hours and minutes are presented on two rotating brass discs, with blue-printed numerals framed by a lozenge-shaped aperture. Rather than a jumping hour complication, both indications glide smoothly, prioritising visual harmony over mechanical complexity.

Under the hood lies the new Caliber LFT MA01.01, developed entirely in-house by La Fabrique du Temps. Featuring a full-rotor automatic movement crafted with 18k rose gold, it runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, offers a 45-hour power reserve, and showcases Louis Vuitton’s dedication to fine watchmaking with brushed and frosted finishing visible through the sapphire caseback.

The Tambour Convergence embodies Louis Vuitton’s unique balance of heritage and innovation, seamlessly blending the artistry of métiers d’art with technical mastery.

Zenith Chronomaster Sport Rainbow

My personal favourite release from Zenith at LVMH Watch Week 2025 was actually the Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton (I've been in love with the collection since I saw it in person last year at Watches & Wonders 2024), but there was no way I could write this piece without mentioning the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow.

Combining its signature high-frequency precision with dazzling gem-setting, this luxurious evolution redefines what a sport watch can be, proving functionality and opulence are far from mutually exclusive.

Crafted in 18k white gold, the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow radiates brilliance, its bezel adorned with 50 baguette-cut gemstones. A vibrant interplay of 40 sapphires (3.9cts) and 10 baguette-cut diamonds (1ct) punctuates the design, offering chromatic harmony that feels both deliberate and effortless. Each gemstone, sourced for its flawless uniformity in size, cut, and colour, reflects Zenith’s uncompromising dedication to craftsmanship.

Under the sapphire crystal, the lacquered black dial offers a striking contrast to the rainbow bezel. Zenith’s iconic 3-6-9 tricolour overlapping counters anchor the design, while sapphire markers echo the bezel’s vibrant palette. Super Luminova on the faceted hands ensures impeccable legibility, even in low light.

The heart of the timepiece is the legendary El Primero 3600 calibre – a testament to 55 years of horological evolution. Operating at 5 Hz (36,000 vph), this high-frequency automatic chronograph displays 1/10th of a second with unparalleled readability as its second hand completes a full rotation in just 10 seconds. A sapphire caseback reveals its intricate workings, including the signature blue column wheel and open rotor adorned with Zenith’s five-pointed star.

Exclusive to Zenith boutiques, this piece isn’t just a watch – it’s an emblem of the Maison’s fearless innovation and artistry, transforming timekeeping into a vivid celebration of colour and precision. And even with all its remarkable technological feats aside, it exudes pure joy. You could never be mad with this piece on your wrist.

Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph

Twelve years on, Hublot's Spirit of Big Bang collection evolves in ways both unexpected and unmistakably Hublot. At LVMH Watch Week 2025, the brand introduced its first trio of coloured ceramic cases in the collection – a bold move for the barrel-shaped icon that has long pushed boundaries in watch design.

These new iterations – offered in Sand Beige, Dark Green, and Sky Blue – signal a vibrant expansion of the Spirit of Big Bang’s aesthetic vocabulary. Until now, these tones were exclusive to the Big Bang’s classic round case. Crafted in coloured ceramic, the cases are hypoallergenic, scratch-resistant, and incredibly lightweight, with a gender-neutral appeal that speaks to Hublot’s inclusive design ethos. Limited to 200 pieces each, they balance innovation with exclusivity.

Beneath the coloured ceramic lies the beating heart of the Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph – the HUB4700 calibre. A modernised descendant of the legendary El Primero, the movement boasts high-frequency precision and features like a low-friction silicon escape wheel. Visible from the open dial and sapphire display back, the HUB4700 reminds us why it remains one of the most revered chronograph calibres in Swiss watchmaking.

Every detail of these models is a masterclass in harmony. From the matching hour markers, chronograph counters, and hands to the black rubber straps with coloured inlays, each element is meticulously coordinated with the bold ceramic cases.
