A. Lange & Sohne - Saxonia Moon Phase
One of the several novelties presented by A. Lange & Söhne at SIHH 2016, the new Saxonia Moon Phase successfully combines two of the most popular and appreciated watchmaking complications: date and moon phase display.


Tag Heuer - Heuer Monza 40th Anniversary
Tag Heuer reinterpreted the 1976 historical model housing it in a titanium case coated with titanium carbide and maintaining the two key functions - the pulsometer and the tachymeter scale.


Rolex - Cosmograph Daytona Steel with Black Ceramic Bezel 
From Rolex, the highly sought-after new version of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona equipped with a monobloc Cerachrom bezel in black ceramic.


Bulgari - Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater
With this model, Bulgari set a world record with the thinnest striking watch currently on the market.


Grönefeld - 1941 Remontoire
The Dutch horological brothers, Bart and Tim Grönefeld, presented a completely new model (case, dial and movement) featuring an eight seconds constant force mechanism which optimizes time keeping.


Urban Jurgenesen - Jules Collection
Urban Jürgensen expanded its offering with the new Jules Collection, launched on occasion of Baselworld 2016.


Glashütte Original - Senator Excellence
For the introduction of its brand new manufacture automatic movement, Calibre 36, Glashütte Original launched an entirely new line: the Senator Excellence.


Officine Panerai - Luminor Due Collection
With this new collection, Officine Panerai achieved a reduction in the thickness of the case compared to the historic one which is up to 40% for some models.


Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary
Patek Philippe celebrated the 40th anniversary of its casually elegant Nautilus collection with two Nautilus 40th Anniversary limited-edition models.


Armin Strom - Mirrored Force Resonance Fire
A new Armin Strom creation featuring a patented resonating dual regulator developed for maximum precision while displaying its fascinating mechanism on the dial side.


World record for a wristwatch sold at an auction
On 12 November 2016, “The Geneva Watch Auction: Four” held by Phillips Watches  established the world record for any wristwatch sold at an auction with the ultra-rare Patek Philippe Reference 1518 in stainless steel which achieved the impressive amount of Swiss Francs 11,002,000.
