Watches and Wonders is the event of the year for the horological community, where leading watch brands, creators, and enthusiasts gather in Geneva and other select cities to celebrate the craftsmanship and artistry of fine watchmaking. Within the event, brands often offer exclusive previews of new collections, showcasing both limited and permanent editions of their watches. Alongside product reveals, the event also consists of interactive workshops, discussions on the evolution of horology and technical showcases, catering to every type of collector.
At Banks Lyon, we are proud to offer many of the watches that make their debut at Watches and Wonders, so that you can get your hands on new and exclusive luxury timepieces. From classic IWC Ingenieur models to the sporty Cartier Roadster, explore our range of products associated with the Watches and Wonders Event.
After years of absence, one of Cartier’s most distinctive and unconventional designs makes a long-awaited return. First introduced in the early 2000s, the Cartier Roadster quickly became a cult favourite - celebrated for its automotive-inspired design and bold departure from traditional watchmaking codes.
Now, over two decades since its original debut, Cartier reintroduces the Roadster with a renewed sense of purpose - preserving its unmistakable identity while refining it for a new generation.
At Watches & Wonders, IWC Schaffhausen revisits one of its most recognisable signatures with the latest Le Petit Prince editions—marking 20 years of collaboration inspired by the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
The latest editions build on this heritage with a broader and more versatile offering. Spanning multiple Pilot’s Watch references - from Perpetual Calendars and more compact automatic models—the collection introduces a wider range of sizes and materials, making it more accessible without losing its distinctive character.
At Watches & Wonders, TAG Heuer turns its focus to one of its most recognisable designs—the Monaco—reworking the icon with a renewed emphasis on both heritage and innovation.
Originally introduced in 1969, the Monaco has always stood apart with its distinctive square case and unconventional layout. This latest chapter leans back into that identity, drawing closer to the spirit of the original while refining the watch for modern wear.
At Watches & Wonders, Hublot revisits its most recognisable design with the introduction of the Big Bang Reloaded collection—marking the next evolution of a model that has defined the brand for two decades.
The Reloaded series introduces a reworked 44mm case, with a more technical, layered construction and a newly developed two-part bezel. These changes enhance both ergonomics and visual depth, giving the watch a sharper, more contemporary presence while reinforcing Hublot’s signature “Art of Fusion” approach.
Expanding on the success of the reintroduced Ingenieur, IWC presents the Automatic 35 - bringing Gérald Genta’s iconic design into a more compact and versatile format.
The reduced 35mm case, measuring just over 9mm in thickness, brings a new level of versatility. Slim, comfortable, and proportioned for a wider range of wrists, it transitions effortlessly between everyday wear and more formal settings without losing its technical identity.
Inspired by the original 1986 Series 1, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 fuses racing style with modern tech in a bold, versatile timepiece
Powered by the Solargraph Calibre TH50-00, the timepiece converts light into energy to ensure precise timekeeping and long-lasting autonomy.
Watches and Wonders has a lineage relating to the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, established in 1991 by Richemont’s luxury watch brands. In 2020, this event was rebranded as Watches and Wonders Geneva, incorporating a broader vision to celebrate both the artistry and innovation within watchmaking. Geneva is the world’s watchmaking capital, home to a history of craftsmanship and legendary maisons. Today, the event is not just an exhibition, but an opportunity for watch admirers and watchmakers alike to unite over a collective appreciation for watchmaking.
