LVMH Watch Week provides the wider setting, bringing nine of the group’s watchmaking Maisons together in Milan.
MB&F LM Sequential Flyback EVO: a complex chronograph in an EVO case
Time+Tide reports that the LM Sequential Flyback brings MB&F’s Sequential Flyback into the brand’s LM EVO line. Its reported specifications combine a 44 mm grade 5 titanium case with an integrated white rubber strap, screw-down crown, 80 m water resistance and a FlexRing shock absorber. The report also notes a tilted time dial making its debut on the EVO.
Time+Tide lists the price at CHF 168,000. These specifications and the price are secondary-source reporting; they are not independently confirmed here by an MB&F product announcement. No current availability or stock status is established.
Blancpain Villeret Calendrier Chinois Traditionnel: Year of the Horse
Blancpain’s press lounge dated its announcement, “When the Horse Arrives: Blancpain’s 2026 Edition of the Villeret Calendrier Chinois Traditionnel,” January 19, 2026. The model brings together Gregorian and Chinese calendar elements.
#1 Best Overall
Time+Tide reports a 45.2 mm platinum case, salmon Grand Feu enamel dial, and calendar correctors concealed behind the lugs. Production is reported as limited to 50 pieces, with a price of €96,850. Those detailed specifications, the edition size and price come from Time+Tide; the official Blancpain item cited here confirms the announcement title and date, rather than those model details.
Fears Brunswick 40 ‘1846 Edition’: silver and British watchmaking heritage
Time+Tide reports that the Brunswick 40 ‘1846 Edition’ was made exclusively for the Alliance of British Watch & Clock Makers for British Watchmakers’ Day. Its reported design includes a 40 mm cushion-shaped, hallmarked 925 sterling-silver case, a white lacquer dial inspired by Edwin Fear’s first pocket watch in 1846, and a blue pigskin leather strap.
Rank #2
The secondary report gives a 25-piece limit and a price of £4,350. Fears’ own release details are not independently confirmed here, so treat the price and product terms as reported rather than as a current offer. Availability was not verified.
What LVMH Watch Week 2026 covered
LVMH described the Milan event as the seventh edition of Watch Week, featuring nine watchmaking Maisons: Bvlgari Horlogerie, Tiffany & Co., Daniel Roth, Gérald Genta, Louis Vuitton, L’Epée 1839, TAG Heuer, Hublot and Zenith. The official LVMH notice and recap disagree on the event dates: the January 8 notice scheduled January 19–21, while the January 21 recap says the Maisons met January 20–22, 2026. The sources do not resolve that discrepancy.
Rank #3
The lineup ranged beyond one style of watch. LVMH’s recap points to Bvlgari’s Monete and Tubogas, Tiffany watchmaking, Daniel Roth’s Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton, Gérald Genta time-only Geneva models, Louis Vuitton’s Camionnette, L’Epée’s artistic horology, TAG Heuer’s performance-oriented models and Hublot’s material experimentation. Zenith highlighted El Primero and DEFY creations.
Zenith’s DEFY releases
Zenith’s official release lists a black-and-gold DEFY Skyline Skeleton, a black ceramic Skyline Chronograph, a rose-gold DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton, updates to the Skyline 36 and the DEFY Revival A3643. Benoît de Clerck, Zenith’s CEO, said: “This seventh edition of LVMH Watch Week highlights our ongoing commitment to the DEFY collection, a cornerstone of ZENITH. We continue to evolve and strengthen the line with new expressions that explore a wide range of styles, complexities and materials.”
