  • Faberge Visionnaire Chronograph watch in rose gold
    Fabergé continues to blaze a trail in watchmaking, this year with the revolutionary Visionnaire Chronograph, with its series of concentric rings to display the time and chronograph functions. As full of mechanical surprises as Fabergé’s legendary eggs, the movement was developed by Agenhor (POA).
  • Hermes Caoe Cod watch with red lacquered dial
    Colour is a big protagonist this year, and Hermès will be unveiling gorgeous lacquered dials for its men’s Cape Cod watches, including this subtly graded shade of red (£2,000).
  • TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 smartwatch
    Connectivity and customisation are the buzzwords this year, and TAG Heuer rides the wave with the new Modular 45. Developed in collaboration with Google and Intel, this smartwatch is totally transformable, allowing owners to change the lugs, straps, buckle and case to their heart’s delight (from £1,400).
  • Christophe Claret X-TREM-1-StingHD watch
    For sheer showmanship, we won’t be missing Christophe Claret’s stand, where mind-blowing complications meet the dark side with the X-TREM-1-StingHD and its ghoulish skull, which appears when you breathe on the dial (SFr. 278,000).
  • Omega Speedmaster first watch on the Moon
    This is the big watch story of 2017 as Omega’s legendary Speedmaster, the first watch on the Moon, turns 60. Expect a lot of interesting collector’s pieces as Moonwatch fever strikes big time at Baselworld (£6,240).
