New York, October 16–18 — WatchTime New York 2026 has officially launched at Gotham Hall, ushering in a diverse array of 14 new watch and mechanical model introductions from independent artisans and established maisons alike. Throughout this week, collectors and horology enthusiasts will see world premieres, North American debuts, and recent releases up close.
Over its eleven-year history, the annual event has become a key stage for brands—ranging from Ressence, MB&F, Urwerk, to Oris and Chopard—to showcase their latest innovations directly to dedicated fans. Below are highlights of 14 standout pieces visitors can experience in person.

## Ressence Type 10 DN (“Dark Night”)
Ressence introduces its first oil-filled model designed entirely in-house. The Type 10 DN features a deep-blue DLC titanium case and integrated rubber strap, with hydraulically refracted rotating displays that appear to glide beneath the sapphire crystal. Its proprietary RW-04 automatic caliber delivers 60 hours of power reserve. Functions include second time zone, oil-temperature indicator, hours, minutes, and a 120-second runner. Limited to just 100 pieces.

## MB&F LM1 EVO
Marking 15 years since the debut of the original Legacy Machine No.1, the LM1 EVO blends its signature suspended balance with dual independent time displays. This EVO iteration drops the case size to 42 mm and increases power reserve to 60 hours. It also replaces the vertical power-reserve indicator with an inclined display. Enhanced durability comes via 80 meters water resistance, FlexRing shock protection, and interchangeable rubber straps. Two versions will be produced: a titanium case with rhodium-colored dial plate and a rose-gold case with a green dial, the latter limited to 33 units.

## Urwerk UR-300 Time Quantum
Urwerk revamps its wandering-hours mechanism with the UR-300 Time Quantum. It uses a T-shaped framework composed of two perpendicular modules carrying four three-sided hour prisms. The modules rotate: the active hour moves along the minute scale until the arrangement flips, with the crossbar and stem exchanging roles. Powering it is the automatic UR-30.01V calibre, offering 44 hours of reserve within a 45.2 × 58.8 mm titanium case. There are untreated titanium and dark AlTiN variants, each limited to 25 pieces.

## Oris ProPilot Calibre 111
Oris presents a redesign of its ProPilot Calibre 111—a pilot’s hand-wound watch with a 10-day power reserve. The dial features vertical brushing with textured organic elements around its periphery and through parts of the design. Housed in a 43 mm stainless steel case, it includes large numerals, a prominent crown, and an angled fluted bezel. The power-reserve indicator is non-linear, emphasizing the final days of energy. Buyers can choose between a steel bracelet or a dark-brown Cordovan leather strap with Oris’s fit-adjust system.

## Frederique Constant Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture Burgundy Limited Edition
Frederique Constant introduces its perpetual calendar manufacture with a striking burgundy dial—its first ever in this hue. The 40 mm stainless-steel timepiece is just over 12 mm thick and features day, date, month, leap year, and moon-phase displays. The automatic FC-776 calibre powers it, offering a 72-hour reserve. Limited to 100 numbered pieces, it is priced at $12,995 and includes both burgundy and black alligator straps, plus a watch winder.

## Ming × Massena LAB 57.09 Secret Honey
Five years after their first collaboration, Ming and Massena LAB return with the 57.09 Secret Honey, featuring three rotating sapphire disks above a dark-brown base. These discs rotate at different rates (every 24 hours, 12 hours, and 60 minutes), creating a shifting honeycomb pattern as their apertures align. Orange luminous details provide visibility in low light. The automatic Sellita movement gives roughly 50 hours of power. The Grade 5 titanium case is accented with yellow and rose-gold coatings, limited to 125 pieces.
