Luxury watch industry product releases

Overview

In September 2026, several luxury watchmakers introduced new models and artistic collaborations.

During Geneva Watch Days, Corum debuted a new Admiral collection featuring ceramic cases and bracelets, while Speake-Marin released a limited edition Tourbillon Royal Blue. Following these debuts, independent watchmaker Sartory Billard released the SB04-E Des Bulles, a timepiece featuring Japanese lacquer and mother-of-pearl.

Hublot expanded its artistic collaborations by naming American artist Jeff Koons a new brand ambassador. This partnership introduced the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog collection, inspired by Koons’ ‘Celebration’ series sculptures. To replicate the voluminous appearance of the sculptures, Hublot re-engineered the Classic Fusion architecture with a redesigned 42-millimeter convex case, bezel, and dial featuring a raised sapphire crystal. The collection includes three versions—blue anodized aluminum, red anodized aluminum, and mirror-polished steel—each limited to 200 pieces. Design elements include a crown shaped like a balloon inflation valve, a flexible balloon tail at the 10:30 position, and a central second hand with a relief weight in the shape of a Balloon Dog. These models are powered by the HUB1710 automatic movement with a 50-hour power reserve.

The collaboration also includes the MP-14 Origin by Jeff Koons, a 44-millimeter sapphire and titanium model limited to 30 pieces. Described as a mechanical sculpture interpreting the cosmic origin of time, it marks Hublot’s first automatic central tourbillon. It utilizes the in-house Calibre HUB9014 movement and features rotating rings with floating indicator cubes, accented by 20 gems including baguette-cut diamonds and blue sapphires.
