Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026 was held from April 14th to 20th, 2026. This year, the exhibition space was expanded even further, and the number of participating brands reached a record high of 65. We'd like our readers to choose their No. 1 model from among those unveiled at this trade fair!
Which is your No. 1 watch?
The Chronos Top 10 Watches Rankings is a regular feature of the Japanese edition of Chronos. A panel of watch experts chooses 10 recommended models for each given theme, and then decides on the top 10 based on the most votes.
However, the rankings made by each selection committee member do not necessarily match the "recommendations" or "favorites" of readers. Therefore, at webChronos, the rankings chosen by readers are determined by voting.
In our usual contests, readers choose their No. 1 model from a selection of 10 models chosen in advance by the magazine. However, this time, we ask that readers select one model themselves and then freely enter their choice in the survey form. The voting deadline is April 27, 2025 (Monday) at 23:59.
This year, too, various companies unveiled a wide variety of new watches in 2026.
Watches & Wonders Geneva, held annually in early spring in Geneva, Switzerland, will see a record-breaking 65 brands participate in 2026, surpassing last year's record and expanding its exhibition space, solidifying its position as the largest trade fair in the watch industry.
Symbolizing the scale of the event, each brand unveiled a diverse range of new watches. One brand presented a "practical" perpetual calendar, another a variation of a new movement... Furthermore, the richness of the dial designs accelerated even further, and visitors could see a lineup of colorful models that were a joy to behold.
This practical timepiece allows all perpetual calendar functions to be controlled via the crown. It features an automatic movement (Cal. 82665), 34 jewels, 28,800 vibrations per hour, and a power reserve of approximately 60 hours. It has a ceramic case (42.9mm diameter, 14.3mm thickness) and is water-resistant to 10 atmospheres. Price: ¥6,314,000 (including tax).
Grand Seiko has released a new model based on the high-precision Spring Drive Cal.9RB2 released last year, but equipped with the Cal.9RB1, a diver's watch specification. It features an automatic winding Spring Drive (Cal.9RB1), 33 jewels, and a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. It has a bright titanium case (40.8mm diameter, 12.9mm thickness) and is water-resistant to 300m. Each model is priced at 165 yen (including tax).
