Announced in the latter half of last year, Piaget officially (and surprisingly) changed the name of the Black Tie to the Andy Warhol Watch, a moniker that was long used by fans of the model. While the inaugural Andy Warhol Clou de Paris introduced the name change, Piaget expanded the collection at Watches and Wonders 2025, as the complex cushion shape merged with new dials. But before we explore the new watch, it’s important to dive into its backstory first.

The Chanel J12 Bleu Diamond Tourbillon is a limited edition of 55 pieces. Its 50-metre water-resistant blue ceramic case, 38mm in diameter, has a black-coated steel bezel set with 4 carats of baguette-cut sapphires. The manufacture Calibre 5 presents a 42-hour, manually wound, flying tourbillon that is diamond-set. Chanel and dive watches are two things you would be faulted for thinking are completely unrelated. Dive watches and tourbillons, not really a thing either.

Ulysse Nardin presents the lightest dive watch in the world, weighing 52g including the strap. The lightweight case is made of recycled titanium, NyloFoil, and CarbonFoil. Its new 90-hour automatic UN-374 movement is highly openworked and utilises titanium bridges. There are two facets of watchmaking that make a watch more luxurious and expensive. The first, and most obvious, is decoration and finish.

Grand Seiko debuts its second regular-production Tentagraph, the SLGC007. It’s once again executed with a High-Intensity Titanium case and bracelet. New panda aesthetic incorporated with a “snow blue” dial that has dial-contrasting black counters and outer minutes track. With Grand Seiko, we are accustomed to seeing rapid growth throughout its collections. The Tentagraph has been an exception to the rule; the sole production model debuted two years ago with the SLGC001 from Watches and Wonders 2023.
