Watches & Wonders 2026 has landed. The Crown's centenary collection won't break the internet. It'll just quietly remind everyone else who owns it.

Five new Big Bang Reloaded references, two athlete editions with Mbappé and Bolt, and a Spirit of Big Bang Impact trio that sets diamonds directly into sapphire for the first time in brand history.

At Watches and Wonders 2026, the L.U.C 1860 returns in "Areuse Blue" and the Alpine Eagle 41 XPS gets a warm new dial and a redesigned bracelet. Both carry the same Geneva-sealed, chronometer-certified movement that started it all in 1996.

Two new Hybris showstoppers, four Hokusai enamels finishing an eight-year project, and a nature-inspired Reverso One capsule. JLC is showing off.

At Watches and Wonders 2026, the square icon gets a titanium case, an in-house Calibre TH20-11, and a properly ergonomic redesign. And then there's the Evergraph, which tears up the chronograph rulebook entirely.

Four new hand-wound Luminors. Three-day, eight-day and 31-day power reserves. All rooted in the Ref. 6152/1 case architecture from the 1960s. One limited to 200 pieces in Goldtech. This is Panerai doubling down on what made it famous.

The Le Locle manufacture isn't chasing new fans at Watches and Wonders 2026. It's rewarding the ones who never left.

IWC's blue-dial Le Petit Prince editions have been quietly building one of watchmaking's most devoted followings for two decades. Now Schaffhausen is marking the anniversary with five new Pilot's Watches, and the gold Mark XX might be the collection's most refined expression yet.

From a platinum Crash Squelette limited to 150 pieces to the return of the Roadster after two decades off the grid, Cartier's 2026 showing is the broadest, most ambitious lineup the Maison has fielded in years.

Paired nicely with a green Whoop fitness tracker.

It's blue on cognac, it's number 601, and it makes the M3 Touring look like an afterthought.

The man who transformed Breitling is reviving one of watchmaking's most important lost names, with five collections and haute horlogerie pricing.

Rugged where it counts.

Raymond Weil marks half a century of independence with The Fifty, a 50-piece chronograph powered by a movement born the same year as the brand.

The American brand's latest shoot trades runway sterility for motorsport garages, open ocean, and manicured greens.

Bell & Ross fuses case and calibre into a single architectural statement, limited to 99 pieces.

The Swiss independent's TONDA PF Sport Chronograph gets a summer-ready silver and teal colourway, powered by a COSC-certified in-house 5 Hz calibre.

Purchase requests up 500%. Prices climbing daily. And a leaked patent that points to something nobody expected.

Seven days with the Cupra Terramar VZ and the same thing keeps happening. Someone sees it parked outside, does a double-take, then asks if it's electric. It's not. 

When you combine a Rolex Submariner and an Omega Seamaster you get this.

The Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar now comes in full platinum, limited to 75 pieces, and priced at A$74,990.

We took Alfa Romeo's best-ever sports sedan to a Targa event. It felt like coming home.

You can't argue with logic.

The new Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Tribute to Concorde marks 50 years since the supersonic jet's first commercial flight with a blue dial inspired by the view from 60,000 feet, white subdials referencing the aircraft's nickname, and a production number tied to its Olympus engines.

In the wake of the Iran war, EVs have skyrocketed in popularity. Here's a collection of the one's we've driven and loved.

Main character energy.

The Hammer, Ridge Reaper and Stonebreaker are the custom American trucks Australia's 4x4 scene has been waiting for.

Breitling just picked a side in Australia's most tribal sport, dropping a 125-piece Collingwood Superocean that'll either thrill you or infuriate you.

Cathay Pacific is currently quoting AUD$39,492 for a business class seat from Sydney to London via Hong Kong.

The i4 M50 was always one extended roofline away from being the electric wagon we actually need. So why won't Munich do it?

The Mercedes boss had a George Russell edition on one wrist and his own Shock Absorber XPL on the other. And no, he didn't care.

Watches & Wonders runs April 14-20. Here's what's coming, what's possible, and what the internet is kidding itself about.

Cadillac just priced two new electric SUVs for Australia, and the $80k OPTIQ might be the most aggressively specced luxury EV at its price point.

Forget VFACTS. This is about who's setting the terms everyone else has to play by.

If you've ever side-eyed the buffet on a cruise ship like it was a biological weapon, 2026 has some good news for you.
