Watches & Wonders Miami will give watch enthusiasts and collectors access to a first preview of the brand’s newest collections, as well as witness the launch of new products and concepts. Highlights of this year’s event include Piaget‘s U.S. reveal of its record-breaking Altiplano Concept timepiece, which is the thinnest in the world. Dior will unveil a new personalization service for its Dior Grand Bal Watch, which grants the customers with an interactive experience of designing their own made-to-measure timepieces. Always merging the brand’s tagline, ‘Art of Fusion’, into its events, Hublot will have thought-provoking artwork on display inside and outside of the boutique from renowned artist Michael Moebius. Additionally, Ulysse Nardin CEO Patrick Pruniaux is expected to attend the Watches & Wonders Miami exhibition and host the launch of a new watch from the brand’s alluring, millennial-centric X Collection.
