Best new watches at LVMH Watch Week 2024 LIVE: my top picks from TAG Heuer, Hublot, Zenith and more
Welcome to my roundup of LMVH Watch Week 2024, where I’ll keep you updated on all the latest releases and highlights from the hottest watch event of the year (so far).
Jumpstarting the new year with a bang, all of the latest novelties from Bulgari, Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith will be on display.
I’ll be picking my very favourite new launches and keeping you updated along the way. Here are the best new watches at LVMH Watch Week 2024 so far:
Zenith Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar
Starting off with my absolute favourite launch this week, the long-awaited Zenith triple calendar chronograph makes its grand return. The Chronomaster Original is already my favourite chrono (if I had to pick a favourite) and I love it even more with the addition of a triple calendar and moon phase. It’s instantly recognizable for its clean and balanced display of information, all in a compact and historically inspired design that’s unmistakably Chronomaster.
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Dato
Considering how successful TAG Heuer’s ‘Glassbox’ Carrera Chronograph is, it’s no surprise that TAG is building out the range over LVMH Watch Week. The most interesting new model is inspired by the iconic DATO layout, which sees the date window at 9 o’clock and a distinctive mono subdial at 3 o’clock. Its dial is a captivating (and bang-on-trend) teal green monochrome look.
Bulgari Bulgari
Born as Bulgari Roma in 1975, this 18-carat gold watch, initially a gift to the Maison’s top clients, with its name emblazoned on a bezel forged in yellow gold, garnering immediate success. It was seen on the wrists of everyone from Tina Turner to George Michael and Bill Gates to Zendaya. On the cusp of its 50th anniversary, Bulgari has revived the true original, pairing yellow gold with a black dial, and rose gold with a silver opaline dial. Now called the Bulgari Bulgari, it’s available in two case sizes, either 26mm or 38mm.
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillion
Alongside the Carrera Chronograph Dato is the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillion (also in a stunning teal green colourway). At its heart, the watch features a tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock, encased within a glass frame, continuously rotating to counteract the influences of gravity on the accuracy of a mechanical movement.
TAG Heuer claims the teal green pays homage to motorsport history, particularly the vintage green shades (think British Racing Green) of the racing cars during the 20’s to the 60’s. This colour selection reflects TAG Heuer’s racing heritage, infusing the Carrera collection with the nostalgia of that golden age of motorsports
Zenith Chronomaster Sport
In the three years since its introduction, the Chronomaster Sport has made its mark and solidified its position as a leading contender among sporty chronographs. Now, the modern chrono takes on a striking green ceramic bezel and dial, while debuting the line’s new integrated rubber strap.
Bulgari Octo Finissimo Yellow Gold Automatic
Looking to make a statement? The Bulgari Octo Finissimo in 18K yellow gold is not for shrinking violets. The case measures 40mm in diameter and just 6.4mm thick. Beating away behind the sunburst blue lacquered dial is the manufacture calibre BVL 138 with small seconds. It’s just 2.23mm thick and has a 60-hour power reserve.
