CONTRIBUTORS
Back on the Road
Tatler GMT FOCUS • We ask the watch community who they predict will take home GPHG’s big award, take a closer look at the season’s standout launches and travel to Shanghai to explore Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Valley of Inventions
Time, Well Cased • Limited runs, raffle drops and racing pedigree define this season’s most covetable new watches
The Fine Print • Four new watches from Arnold & Son, MeisterSinger, Parmigiani Fleurier and Ulysse Nardin, show how far the word “guilloché” now stretches, and why collectors should read the small print
Jump Cut • Three new watches revive the jumping hour, although none of them agree on what the jump should do
Serious Play • Playful watches are multiplying, but the best of them depend on some of the most demanding work in watchmaking
Beyond the Circle • Unusual case shapes are back, but only the ones with a reason to exist
Throwback Chic • This edition of H Moser & Cie’s flagship timepiece takes us back to the Eighties, in a collaboration that exemplifies the decade
True North • Tudor’s first in-house watch returns with a 24-hour hand, a Master Chronometer certificate and a design that takes its cues from 1973
Seeing Red • The 2026 Cartier Tanks set rubies in the crown, bring burgundy to straps and dials, and fit the Tank Américaine with a skeleton movement for the first time
Hundred Proof • Rolex is marking 100 years of the Oyster with new Oyster Perpetual models

Treasure After Treasure • From an ice-sculpted pine tree to a front-row seat at Eric Chou’s live set, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Shanghai takeover was an explosion of sensations. Tatler GMT went behind the scenes, with global ambassadors IU, Kim Woo-bin, Zhang Ziyi and Jackson Yee in tow
The World is Your Oyster • As Rolex marks a century of the Oyster, a case that has barely changed since its inception, Tatler GMT looks back at the watch that made waterproofing a feat worth testing in oceans, on mountains and on the wrists of the people who pushed it there
Bench Marks • Audemars Piguet brought its watchmaking workshop from Le Brassus to Macau, where participants assembled components of Calibre 4302 and tried their hand at traditional finishing
Tatler GMT FEATURES • We celebrate Richard Mille’s bold turn into weightlessness, sit down with Guido Terreni of Parmigiani Fleurier, and uncover the watchmakers keeping métiers d’art alive in their creations
THE LIGHTNESS OF BEING • A hand-wound calibre under five grams, a compact case and only the barest essentials on the wrist, the Richard Mille RM 55-01 Manual Winding distils the brand’s engineering philosophy into three hands
