LVMH Watch Week 2026 brought together Hublot and ZENITH to showcase creations that blend heritage, technical mastery and contemporary design. From bold materials to precision movements and modern design, this year’s highlights underline the innovation and craftsmanship shaping modern Swiss watchmaking.
Hublot placed the spotlight on high-complication watchmaking with the Big Bang Tourbillon Novak Djokovic GOAT Edition, a standout creation within the Big Bang collection.
Developed in close collaboration with Novak Djokovic, the timepiece celebrates his career achievements through both design and technical execution. It is powered by the automatic MHUB6035 tourbillon movement, offering approximately 72 hours of power reserve and featuring a distinctive three-dimensional lattice mainplate inspired by tennis racquet strings. The openworked construction places the mechanics at the centre of the design, drawing attention to the tourbillon and intricate movement architecture.
The 44 mm case is crafted with a lightweight construction designed for performance, reinforcing the technical focus of the piece.
Zenith showcased two standout pieces from its DEFY collection, reinforcing the line’s architectural approach and focus on mechanical innovation.
The DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Skeleton marks the first tourbillon skeleton within the Skyline series, revealing an entirely openworked interpretation of the El Primero 3630 SK calibre. Housed in a bold rose gold case, its structure blends mechanical complexity with an expressive architectural presence.
Alongside this, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton in black ceramic features a geometric exterior with a gold-toned openworked dial that reveals the El Primero 3620 SK calibre. The movement includes a constant 1/10th-of-a-second running indicator, completing a full rotation every 10 seconds, showcasing high-frequency precision.
