The 5 Best New Watches We Saw at SIHH 2019: Day Two

This week, the Palexpo facility in Geneva, Switzerland, will become the center of the watch world for the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, or SIHH, a luxury watch show rivaled only by BaselWorld in relevance and prestige. We’ve got a team on the ground, there to bring you the most exciting releases. Follow our coverage here, and also be sure to check out Instagram. We’ll be posting to our feed throughout the week.

If you’re a watch guy, there’s nothing quite like getting to take a first look at new references from the world’s most advanced manufactures. On Day Two of SIHH, that included everyone from independent watchmakers like Laurent Ferrier to legendary manufactures like Panerai and Montblanc. The impressive watches on display are innovative, beautiful and seriously impressive. Take a look at the best of what we saw below.
