Geneva Watch Days 2026 has delivered another extraordinary week for watch enthusiasts, with Geneva becoming the centre of contemporary and independent watchmaking for five days of new launches, mechanical innovation and collector-focused releases.
The seventh edition of Geneva Watch Days brought together 71 watch brands and almost 400 new releases, ranging from highly technical professional watches and independent mechanical creations to new materials, limited editions and fresh interpretations of established collections.
At Clarindon Jewellers, Geneva Watch Days is particularly relevant because many of the manufacturers shaping the event are already represented within our growing watch portfolio. Following the latest launches, we have created dedicated destinations for the watches and collections that matter most to our customers.

Geneva Watch Days 2026: A Major Year for New Watch Releases
Since its creation in 2020, Geneva Watch Days has developed into one of the most important dates in the international watch calendar. Its decentralised format allows established manufactures, specialist brands and independent watchmakers to present their latest creations throughout Geneva rather than being confined to a single conventional exhibition hall.
The result is a very different watch event. Mechanical innovation, conversations with watchmakers, new materials and experimental design sit alongside professional diving watches, sports watches, complications and traditional Swiss craftsmanship.
For 2026, several of the most interesting developments have come from brands available through Clarindon Jewellers, including DOXA, Oris, Louis Erard and Maurice Lacroix. Our wider Geneva coverage also encompasses important recent launches from Nivada Grenchen, Squale, Sinn and Franck Muller.
DOXA SUB 300 Ti5: One of the Major New Dive Watches of 2026
Few brands are more closely connected to professional diving watches than DOXA, and one of the most significant recent additions to its collection is the new DOXA SUB 300 Ti5.
The Ti5 represents a modern evolution of the SUB 300 concept, combining the unmistakable DOXA case and dial architecture with Grade 5 titanium. The use of titanium creates a lighter and technically focused interpretation of one of the most recognisable professional dive watch designs.
DOXA has introduced the SUB 300 Ti5 across the familiar colours that have become part of the brand's identity, allowing collectors to choose a version that feels unmistakably DOXA while benefiting from the modern material construction.
The DOXA SUB 300 Ti5 Professional 823.50.351.21 brings the famous orange Professional dial to the titanium platform.
Other new options include the SUB 300 Ti5 Caribbean, SUB 300 Ti5 Sharkhunter, SUB 300 Ti5 Redcoral and the striking SUB 300 Ti5 Whitepearl.
These watches form one of the strongest new collections of professional dive watches released during 2026 and demonstrate how DOXA continues to evolve its historic SUB platform through contemporary engineering.
DOXA SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler
Another significant 2026 launch is the DOXA SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler Limited Edition. The Clive Cussler editions have become an important part of DOXA's modern collector offering, connecting the brand's longstanding diving heritage with the novelist, adventurer and underwater exploration pioneer.
The introduction of the Clive Cussler concept into the SUB 300 Ti5 family gives the new titanium platform an additional collector dimension, joining the wider range of recent DOXA releases available through the DOXA watches collection.
DOXA T.GRAPH Returns
2026 has also seen the return of another important name from DOXA history: the T.GRAPH.
The chronograph brings timing functionality into DOXA's distinctive professional diving watch language, representing another side of a company best known for its uncompromising three-hand SUB watches. The latest T.GRAPH generation reinforces just how broad the modern DOXA range has become.
Explore the latest T.GRAPH, SUB 300 Ti5, SUB 200, SUB 250T GMT and the broader family of professional dive watches in the DOXA collection at Clarindon Jewellers.
Maurice Lacroix AIKON-IC Frozen Carbon
One of the standout material stories around Geneva Watch Days 2026 has come from Maurice Lacroix with the new AIKON-IC Frozen Carbon.
Frozen Carbon introduces an entirely new visual dimension to the AIKON-IC family. Carbon fibres are combined with metallic powders or coloured pigments, producing random structures within the dial material. Because those patterns develop organically during production, each watch possesses its own visual identity.
The six-watch collection explores Frozen Carbon through different combinations of colour and case material, ranging from vivid contemporary treatments to technically expressive titanium, bronze and Damascus steel executions.
New references include the AIKON-IC Black and Red Frozen Carbon, Black and Purple Frozen Carbon and Black and Sky Blue Frozen Carbon, alongside limited editions including Deep Forest, Bronze and Damascus Steel.
Explore the latest models through the Maurice Lacroix watches collection.
Why Frozen Carbon Matters
Maurice Lacroix describes its latest development as part of its approach to Innovative Craftsmanship. Rather than simply applying another surface finish to an existing dial, Frozen Carbon changes the physical appearance of the material itself.
The result works particularly well with the AIKON-IC. The strong bezel architecture and contemporary 43mm case provide a structured frame around a dial whose internal patterns are deliberately unpredictable.
For buyers searching for modern Swiss watches, carbon watches or a luxury sports watch that will not look identical to the next example produced, the new AIKON-IC Frozen Carbon collection is one of the most distinctive Maurice Lacroix developments of 2026.
Louis Erard Marqueterie de Paille
Independent creativity remains central to Geneva Watch Days, making Louis Erard one of the brands particularly worth following.
For September 2026, Louis Erard introduced the extraordinary Marqueterie de Paille. Limited to just 25 pieces, the watch brings the traditional decorative art of straw marquetry to the dial.
Portuguese artist Bernardo d'Orey works with rye straw to create the handcrafted surface, continuing Louis Erard's increasing focus on métiers d'art and collaboration with specialist craftspeople.
The appeal of modern Louis Erard lies in precisely this approach. Rather than competing through conventional definitions of luxury, the brand has created a highly distinctive identity around regulators, unusual artistic techniques, collaborations and limited production.
Louis Erard 2340 Mauve and Forest
Another important recent development is the expansion of the Louis Erard 2340. The collection introduced an integrated bracelet design into the Louis Erard catalogue, and 2026 has brought new Mauve and Forest dial variations.
The result demonstrates another side of the independent manufacturer: contemporary sports-watch architecture combined with the design-led approach for which Louis Erard has become known.
Other important recent pieces include the Le Régulateur Esprit Flinqué models and the latest Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein creations. Discover them alongside the wider independent collection at Louis Erard Watches at Clarindon.
Oris at Geneva Watch Days 2026
Independent Swiss watchmaker Oris arrived at Geneva Watch Days with one of the broadest groups of new releases.
The launches cover several very different sides of the company, from aviation inspired watches and compact Pointer Dates to expressive collaborations.
New Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 29mm
One of the most interesting additions is a new generation of Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 29mm watches. These more compact references bring the historic Big Crown concept into elegantly restrained proportions, expanding the collection for customers who prefer a smaller mechanical watch.
The Big Crown remains one of the most important designs in Oris history. Introduced in 1938 and originally conceived for pilots, its oversized crown and distinctive central Pointer Date hand have become signatures of the independent Hölstein manufacturer.
Explore the wider Oris Big Crown Watches collection to discover the heritage, Pointer Date and modern interpretations of this important Oris family.
Oris ProPilot X Gonzo Edition
The most playful Oris release from Geneva may be the ProPilot X Gonzo Edition, continuing the manufacturer's relationship with The Muppets.
Rather than simply adding a character to the dial, Oris integrates Gonzo into the mechanics of the watch. The edition is built around the manually wound ProPilot X Calibre 115 platform with its remarkable ten-day power reserve.
It follows previous character-led Oris watches while retaining serious mechanical substance, illustrating the unusual combination of humour and traditional mechanical watchmaking that has increasingly become part of the modern Oris identity.
Oris ProPilot Bronze and Social Club Edition II
Further Geneva releases include the new Oris ProPilot Bronze and the Oris Social Club Edition II, broadening the manufacturer's 2026 portfolio beyond its historic Big Crown and diving watch lines.
Explore these models and the complete Aquis, Divers, Big Crown, ProPilot and Artelier families through the Oris watches collection.
Nivada Grenchen Celebrates 100 Years
Although our wider Geneva coverage extends beyond only the brands exhibiting within the main Geneva Watch Days programme, one of the biggest stories in enthusiast watchmaking during 2026 is the centenary of Nivada Grenchen.
The historic Swiss manufacturer is celebrating its 100th anniversary through a programme of twelve releases across the year, revisiting important models from its archive while continuing to develop the modern collection.
Among the biggest launches has been the new Nivada Grenchen F77 MK2.
Nivada Grenchen F77 MK2
The F77 has become one of the most recognisable models within the revived Nivada Grenchen range. Its integrated sports watch design takes inspiration from the 1970s original while introducing modern construction and a remarkably broad choice of dial materials and configurations.
The new Nivada Grenchen F77 MK2 collection expands that idea significantly, with 38mm and 41mm versions, date and no-date options, chronograph interpretations and an exceptional selection of dial finishes.
Particularly noteworthy are the stone and mineral inspired dial models, including Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, Meteorite, Green Aventurine and Dark Blue Aventurine.
The Nivada Grenchen F77 Lapis Lazuli MK2 is an especially striking example. Because natural lapis lazuli varies from piece to piece, each dial displays its own individual colour, markings and mineral character.
Other centenary releases during 2026 have included new Super Antarctic references, Depthmaster, Chronoking Racing and Autochron models, making this an exceptionally important year for the historic Grenchen manufacturer.
Squale Matic S: The Matic Evolves
Another important recent sports watch introduction is the new Squale Matic S, available through the Squale watches collection.
Squale has spent decades specialising in diving watches and professional underwater cases, and the latest Matic S takes that expertise in a more contemporary direction.
The new green two-tone execution combines the professional character expected of Squale with a significantly more luxurious visual identity.
The Squale Matic S Green Two Tone Bracelet MATICGGRGR.SSBI pairs the new design with a bracelet, while the Squale Matic S Green Two Tone Mosaic Rubber MATICGGRGR.MROR provides a sportier alternative.
Sinn EZM 19: A New Generation of Mission Timer
Our Geneva Watch Days 2026 collection also includes another significant recent release: the Sinn EZM 19.
The EZM, or Einsatzzeitmesser, concept has always been centred around watches designed for clearly defined professional requirements. The EZM 19 develops that philosophy around structured time management, introducing a distinctive multifunction rotating bezel and exceptional clarity.
The new watch combines a 41mm stainless steel case with extensive Sinn technology, including Ar Dehumidifying Technology, Magnetic Field Protection and Temperature Resistance Technology.
Current options include the Sinn EZM 19 Black Textile, EZM 19 Black Silicone Integrated and the EZM 19 H-Link Bracelet.
Franck Muller: New Models and a Visit to Watchland
Our Geneva trip also extended beyond Geneva Watch Days itself with time dedicated to Franck Muller and the extraordinary world of Watchland.
Franck Muller's latest 2026 creations demonstrate why the manufacture remains such a distinctive force within haute horlogerie. At the technical end of the collection sits the spectacular Vanguard Aero Revolution 3 Skeleton, limited to only eight pieces and showcasing a tri-axial tourbillon within an extensively openworked architecture.
Recent launches also include new artistic collaborations, demonstrating the extraordinary breadth of a manufacture capable of moving between highly complicated mechanical watchmaking and expressive contemporary design.
Explore the latest models through the Franck Muller watches collection.
The Rise of Independent Watchmaking
One of the clearest messages from Geneva Watch Days is the increasing influence of independent and specialist watch brands.
Collectors are looking beyond conventional luxury watchmaking and increasingly seeking watches with stronger individual identity, technical purpose or a more direct connection to the people responsible for creating them.
Brands such as Louis Erard demonstrate this through métiers d'art and collaboration. Nivada Grenchen uses its remarkable archive to reinterpret important historic watches. DOXA and Squale continue to develop genuine professional dive watch traditions, while Maurice Lacroix is experimenting with advanced materials and contemporary manufacturing.
Oris represents a larger independent Swiss manufacture but shares many of the same principles, combining independence with mechanical movements, purposeful design and a willingness to take unexpected creative directions.
New Materials Define 2026
Materials have also become increasingly important in modern watchmaking.
The DOXA SUB 300 Ti5 uses Grade 5 titanium to reinterpret an historic diving watch. Maurice Lacroix's Frozen Carbon introduces irregular carbon patterns mixed with pigments and metallic powders. Bronze continues to evolve naturally over time, while Damascus steel provides another distinctive material identity within the AIKON-IC family.
These developments demonstrate how materials are increasingly becoming part of the personality of a watch rather than simply the structure surrounding the movement.
The Watches to Watch Following Geneva Watch Days 2026
For collectors looking at the remainder of 2026 and beyond, several collections stand out.
The DOXA SUB 300 Ti5 is one of the most significant developments in modern professional dive watches. The Maurice Lacroix AIKON-IC Frozen Carbon introduces a genuinely distinctive new material aesthetic. The latest Oris Big Crown and ProPilot watches reinforce the creativity of one of Switzerland's most important independents.
At enthusiast level, the Nivada Grenchen F77 MK2 continues the extraordinary revival of a historic Swiss watchmaker, while the Squale Matic S and Sinn EZM 19 demonstrate two very different interpretations of the modern specialist tool watch.
Louis Erard's latest artistic watches provide another perspective entirely, proving that traditional decorative crafts and independent mechanical watchmaking can coexist within watches that feel genuinely contemporary.
