The long-awaited LVMH watch week is here. Zenith launched two timepieces into the market: the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow and the Defy Skyline Chronograph Skeleton.

As the name hints, the Chronomaster Rainbow is characterized by a rainbow allure, thanks to the stones set on the bezel. It’s worth noting that this new rainbow timepiece is based on a rose gold version that was rolled out in 2024. Featuring a 41 mm casing, the new Zenith watch establishes some dominance in the industry with its shiny appearance.

The casing is fitted with 50 different stones for a rainbow-like look—40 sapphire and 10 diamond stones. To complete the whole look, the dial has sapphire markers that blend smoothly with stones set on the bezel.

The black lacquered dial accentuates hour markers and extra elements fitted on the watch.

When it comes to the overall performance, Zenith opted for a powerful caliber, the El Primero 3600.

While the DEFY Skyline has a design that dates back to the ‘60s, it has been remodeled to match the changing times. The latest Defy Skyline, which was unveiled during the LVMH Watch Week, comes with a skeletonized dial. Since this model has an open-dial design, the El Primero 3600 movement is in plain sight. In short, the new Defy Skyline Skeleton offers beautiful views of the mechanism.

Elements fixed on the watch are highlighted by a finish, which reflects light stylishly. Zenith also preserved a few elements from the ‘60s to pay tribute to the initial design.

While the Defy Chronograph Skeleton retails at $15,500, the Chronomaster Sport Rainbow is priced at $112,100.

Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar

Since 2025 is Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary, the brand rolled out new timepieces into the market to celebrate this feat featuring the new Calibre 7138. But one new watch bids farewell to the Calibre 5135: a limited-edition Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked will be the last watch to feature the movement that has powered the brand's 41 mm openworked selfwinding perpetual calendar watches for almost a decade.

The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked "150th Anniversary" limited edition was rolled out with a 41mm casing that reflects light stylishly. Speaking of which, the watch also features an open-work design dating back to the early ‘80s—a tribute of some sort, launched on the 150th anniversary as a reminder of the original model. It was inspired by a pocket watch that's exhibited in the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet (reference 25729). However, the titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) on the case and bracelet keep the watch decidedly modern.

Audemars Piguet, one of the most iconic watch brands, has reimagined the perpetual calendar with the new-generation Calibre 7138. This self-winding perpetual calendar movement has debuted on the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar, a 41 mm watch in 18-carat white gold, and on two 41 mm Royal Oak models in stainless steel or 18-carat sand gold.

Sébastian Vivas, Heritage and Museum Director of Audemars Piguet, said, “Calendar watches have evolved over time to capture the cycles of celestial bodies with a combination of small cams and gears. Among them, the perpetual calendar – one of the most complex in this category – is like a small mechanical computer on the wrist capable of keeping the date correct for an entire century. Perpetual calendars have marked the history of Audemars Piguet since 1875.”

A new Nomos watch that represents something deeper
Nomos Club Campus

Nomos Glashütte just rolled out new timepieces, and if joy and radiance were watch models, they would look like this. Nomos wanted to represent powerful emotions on a dial, so they used bright colors that can also evoke such emotions in these additions to the Club Campus Collection.

The reimagined version of the Club Campus focuses on joy and tranquility, but it also explores the cosmos. The blue version, known as Night Sky, evokes the vastness of the nighttime sky. Starlight, which features a bright yellow dial, shines bright, adding a bold touch to any fashion statement. According to the company, a star’s light is centered around different milestones and achievements when interpreted more deeply and personally.
