Not a single public ticket left, which shows the ever-growing fascination with prestige watchmaking. In total, 65 brands have gathered at Watches and Wonders 2026, offering an extensive overview of the industry. Among the standout moments is Audemars Piguet\u2019s noteworthy comeback. Having left the SIHH several years ago, this brand makes its official return to the trade show, marking a symbolic and strategic milestone for the event. Beyond the major announcements, this year\u2019s fair highlights new aesthetic directions. Smaller case diameters are gaining ground, revealing that tastes are shifting towards greater simplicity and elegance. At the same time, traditional gender codes are fading: today, people choose watches that suit their personal style, regardless of conventional classifications. The horizons are broadening, with the industry becoming increasingly mindful of present-day expectations. Among the commercial successes, the comeback of great brands and the trend shifts, the Watches and Wonders fair reinforces its special place in the watchmaking world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-border-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\" style=\"border-color:#e67204;border-width:4px;color:#e67204\"><blockquote><p><strong>Watches and Wonders 2026 key figures<\/strong>:<br><br>65 brands<br>&nbsp;Around 60,000 unique visitors<br>&nbsp;6,000 retailers<br>1,750 international journalists<br>&nbsp;25,000 tickets sold during the three public days<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the spotlight in this first episode: Rolex new releases, celebrating the centenary of the Oyster, and a modern rite of passage at Audemars Piguet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>ROLEX<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Oyster Perpetual 41: The Exclusive Anniversary Piece<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47767\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Presented at Watches and Wonders 2026, the Oyster Perpetual 41 watch made of Oystersteel and yellow gold marks 100 years of the iconic Oyster.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41, Rolex skilfully plays with its own design heritage.

Housed within the Mus\u00e9e Atelier Audemars Piguet, this new space recreates the concept by bringing together complementary skills to create contemporary masterpieces. Engravers, enamellers, watchmakers, specialised in skeletonisation, gem-setters and lapidaries work alongside designers and engineers. Each contributor focuses on a specific stage of the process, from manufacturing components to their decoration and casing. The timepieces produced by this workshop use modern calibres adapted to the requirements of each project. The movements are hand-decorated using traditional finishing techniques before being assembled on-site. This approach opts for limited production runs, in order to create highly refined artisanal work, which is often does not suit industrial production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three brand-new watches are spearheading this programme presented at the Watches and Wonders 2026 fair. They epitomise the ambition of preserving rare techniques whilst bringing them into contemporary watchmaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>\u00c9tablisseurs Galets: The Pinnacle of Watches and Shaped Calibres<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"One timepiece.

Crafted in 18-carat gold, it brings out a case with softly rounded contours, waterproof to 20 metres, and comes in between 7.5 mm and 8.8 mm thick depending on the configuration. The dial carved from natural stone\u2014turquoise, in this case\u2014with no hour markers, is elegantly swept by gold baton hands and an applied &#8220;AP&#8221; monogram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"47791\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/galets4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47791\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"47792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/galets5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47792\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">This debut piece takes its looks from stones rolled and polished by the waters of the Lac de Joux.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 18-carat gold bracelet warrants attention on several fronts.
