5+ New Watches Debuting at WatchTime New York 2025
WatchTime New York 2025 kicks off tonight, and anticipation is higher than ever for New York’s premier watch event of the year. Tonight, the WatchTime team will welcome more than forty brands, industry leaders, and countless enthusiasts all under one roof at Gotham Hall for an incredible weekend of horological experiences.
Now marking its 10th anniversary, WatchTime New York has become an essential stage for brands to debut their latest creations to the U.S. audience. This year, the event serves as the launchpad for over twenty new releases, with many being seen in-the-metal for the very first time. Below, we highlight five standout debuts from Armin Strom, Oris, Frederique Constant, Hautlence, and Parmigiani Fleurier.
Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance Zeitgeist 1665
Launching tonight at Gotham Hall, Armin Strom will unveil the Mirrored Force Resonance Zeitgeist 1665, a limited edition that reimagines one of modern horology’s most celebrated mechanical achievements. Housed in a 43mm stainless steel case, the watch explores what a resonance wristwatch might have looked like if the phenomenon had been mastered centuries ago— a “relic from a future that might have been,” in the words of the brand.
The Zeitgeist 1665 features Armin Strom’s manufacture caliber ARF21_ZG, a hand-wound movement built around the brand’s Resonance Clutch and Suspension System. This architecture sustains the resonance effect with remarkable stability, synchronizing twin balance wheels to deliver exceptional chronometric consistency. Visible hand-finishing throughout— touches seen on the hand-beveled bridges, Geneva stripes, and heat-blued steel hands— underscore the brand’s effort towards aesthetics as much as technical ability, and further strong work in uniting the two.
Oris Big Crown Calibre 113 (And Two Others)
If guests are lucky this year, they may get to experience not one, not two, but three distinct novelties being showcased live by Oris for the first time. Leading the lineup is the Big Crown Calibre 113, the first model from the brand to feature the brand’s all-new hand-wound Calibre 113 movement. While the watch was first previewed at Geneva Watch Days, this weekend at WatchTime New York marks its official stateside debut.
The 43mm stainless-steel timepiece offers a 10-day power reserve, a patented non-linear power reserve indicator, and a full business calendar displaying the day, date, week, and month of the year. Its mint-green dial with rose-pink sub-dials delivers a spirited, modern twist on the Big Crown’s classic aviation design, capturing Oris’s joyful approach to contemporary watchmaking.

Also likely to appear this weekend are two other recent releases from the brand in the Big Crown Pointer Date Cervo Volante 40mm— a collaborative, sustainably minded update to the signature Pointer Date series— and the Oris × RedBar Divers Limited Edition, which launched today to coincide with RedBar’s 2025 Global Meetup in New York. The latter is the second collaborative limited edition between Oris and the RedBar community, being a 39mm stainless-steel diver limited to 250 pieces, distinguished by its red fumé dial, black ceramic bezel, and dual-strap presentation on both rubber and bracelet.
Frederique Constant with Two Notable Moonphases
Frederique Constant arrives at WatchTime New York with two notable moonphase introductions, beginning with the Classics Carrée Moonphase Automatic. For the first time, the Maison brings a moonphase complication to its beloved rectangular Classics Carrée design — a model long celebrated for its timeless Art Deco charm. Offered with silvered or navy-blue chevron guilloché dials, the 42.3 by 30mm stainless steel case houses the automatic caliber FC-333, which animates a moonphase display at six o’clock. Refined details such as hand-polished dauphine hands, faceted indices, and a railway minute track recall first half 19th-century watchmaking and elevate the whole look.
Complementing the debut, Frederique Constant also expands its Classics Moneta Moonphase collection with two new variations that balance vintage character and modern refinement. The first pairs a warm yellow gold–colored PVD-coated case with a silver-toned dial, while the second opts for a cooler blue aesthetic featuring a matching Milanese mesh bracelet and blue dial with moonphase display. Both models measure 37mm by 7.65mm and are powered by the quartz caliber FC-206, offering precise timekeeping and a five-year battery life.
Hautlence Sphere Series 3
Hautlence touches down in New York tonight ready to display its freshly launched Sphere Series. Retaining the same captivating spherical hour display that defined its predecessors from the brand, this latest edition debuts a completely reimagined silhouette— more compact, more architectural, and more daring. The 37 by 45 by 17.4mm grade 5 titanium case introduces clean, assertive lines and a more contained sense of proportion, its sculptural form underscoring the brand’s vision of horology as “kinetic art.”
At its core is the manual-winding caliber A82, a hand-built movement adapted to fit the reduced case size while preserving the hypnotic motion of the rotating hour sphere and retrograde minute display. The purple-coated titanium sphere rotates on three axes to indicate the hours, while the retrograde minute hand glides along a suspended track before snapping back to zero in a controlled motion. Fully skeletonized bridges and a frosted rhodium-plated base dial expose the intricate mechanics within, offering a 72-hour power reserve and 10 ATM of water resistance.
Limited to 28 pieces, the Sphere Series 3 condenses Hautlence’s avant-garde spirit into a more intimate yet equally mesmerizing form.
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic 36mm
Parmigiani Fleurier returns to WatchTime New York this year once again in style, introducing its latest Tonda PF Automatic 36 mm in a vibrant new extension of the brand’s award-winning collection. The latest edition pairs stainless steel and 18k rose gold with a hand-guilloché “Deep Ruby” dial, its rich burgundy hue enlivened by the collection’s hallmark Grain d’Orge pattern. Twelve baguette-cut diamond hour markers, totaling approximately 0.36 carats, add a subtle sparkle, while skeletonized rose-gold hands and the signature knurled bezel complete the look.
Measuring 36mm in diameter and 8.8mm thick, the case carries its elegant two-tone aesthetic seamlessly into the integrated bracelet, alternating between polished and satin finishes for a fluid, ergonomic feel. Inside beats Parmigiani Fleurier’s in-house Caliber PF770, an automatic movement offering a 60-hour power reserve and adorned with fine haute horlogerie finishing—Côtes de Genève, hand-beveled bridges, and a 22k rose-gold openworked rotor visible through the sapphire caseback.
WatchTime New York 2025 begins tonight. Friday and Saturday are sold out, but tickets for Sunday are still available, here.
