THE HYPE WATCHES & JEWELRY / SEPTEMBER 2025
We Love
LABYRINTH
The thought of getting lost in a maze initially triggers panic. A few breathing exercises later, you look at the beautiful plants around you. And suddenly inspiration bubbles up. At least that’s how we imagine the creation of Gucci’s “Labirinti” collection. It draws its aesthetics from the lush Italian gardens.

SHOOTING STAR
The wish list is memorized, our eyes are fixed on the sky – and yet all it takes is an unexpected blink and we’ve missed the shooting stars. We’d rather look at a dial inspired by the night sky and hope that our wishes will still come true. The pink “Rendez-Vous Shooting Star” from Jaeger-LeCoultre takes 110 hours of work and nine layers of lacquer, while the blue one takes 80 hours and twelve layers. Both are only available ten times each, making them as rare as a shooting star night. The shooting stars appear randomly on the dial as they are activated by movements of the wrist. So you can practise until the next emergency in the sky is imminent. And when the mysterious stars are not visible, you can enjoy the hand-painted peony.

New Collection
VIENNA WATCH
You could travel around the world for fresh inspiration. Or you could do as Swarovski does and browse in your own home country. For the Vienna Collection, the elegant Austrian capital served as a creative source of inspiration. The pieces are just as flowing, elegant and timeless as Vienna itself, with architectural, clear shapes and feathery details.

Nice to Have
DEEP DIVE
At the deepest depths, far below the surface – do you even think about the time? It’s definitely important, because you have to resurface on time at some point. The “Fifty Fathoms Tech” from Blancpain, which is now available in the regular range, offers optimum legibility on the dial even in the dark. The interchangeable rubber straps, which are available in orange and white as well as black, provide even more illumination. If you are not looking for an underwater adrenaline rush, you can also wear the watch on dry land. Although it is suitable as a diver’s watch, it is also a fashion statement.

UPGRADE
What makes us buy new watches? The watch fanatics are probably shaking their heads in despair at this question and immediately enumerate: A new Master Chronometer caliber, specially developed for the new size of the Omega “Aqua Terra”! Twelve different models! Two new movements! And indeed, all these facts draw us into the nearest Omega store to take a look at the new marvel. Twenty-three years after its debut, the “Aqua Terra” comes in a slimmed-down new 30 mm case thanks to the facts just mentioned. For those who don’t care about the tech facts: Just take a look at the illustrious group of testimonials that bring the campaign to life. When talents from music, cinema and fashion, such as Ashley Graham or Ariana DeBose, adorn their wrists with one of the models, you immediately want to imitate them.
