LVMH Watch Week has officially kicked off in New York City (and Paris) today after a quick-switch change of venues. The annual event—showcasing the latest watchmaking releases from everyone from Louis Vuitton, TAG Heuer, Daniel Roth, Gérald Genta, and Bulgari to Tiffany & Co, Hublot, and Zenith—was originally set to take place in Los Angeles, but due to the devastating wildfires, the luxury conglomerate wisely decided to switch gears at the last minute to host its big event in the Big Apple. It couldn’t have been an easy pivot, but it was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, New York City is experiencing a dump of snow and frigid temperatures, but the show must go on. The good news it there are plenty of noteworthy new timepieces to talk about.

Some of the trends that emerged from the releases included: a focus on gem setting, chronographs galore, and sophisticated tweaks to timeless icons. That meant everything from a TAG Heuer chronograph outfitted in diamonds to Bulgari Serpentis equipped with a serious new movement to a sophisticated new look for Louis Vuitton’s Spin Time. Speaking of Louis Vuitton, the company has typically been known for some rather bombastically-styled watches, but this time around there appeared to be a more subdued approach with a vibe that felt like it was meant to catch the savvy collector’s eye and it was a welcome surprise. From the toned-down vibe of the Spin Time to two ultra-cool versions of a guichet watch (a guichet is a ticket office window in French and the watch thus has openings for the hour and minutes that resemble the small window openings of a ticket office). They are elegant and resemble the kind of thing that collectors are swiping up on the secondary market. And, wisely, the Louis Vuitton logo was kept small on this timepiece offering a simple and sophisticated new look for Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking—a new direction refreshingly spearheaded by Jean Arnault, the 26-year-old director of watches at Louis Vuitton and the son of LVMH scion, Bernard Arnault.

Here’s what the world’s biggest luxury conglomerate is cooking up in its watchmaking ateliers.
