Trends in watchmaking are as important as in the world of haute couture. Fashions come and go, some remain for a few years modifying the style of haute horlogerie, and the design of high-end watches also depends on taste.

In this post we are going to analyze the trends that we have detected throughout 2019 and analyze some models launched during this year, and which have become reference watches in the Swiss Luxury Watches Factory industry.

The main trends in watchmaking in this year

At Watches5 Chinese Watch Manufacturer we are experts in haute horlogerie, which is why we are always on the lookout for new trends. The year 2019 is proving to be an excellent year, because many brands have chosen this season to launch some of their most inspiring designs in recent years, proof of this are the models that we will analyze below, for now, these are the trends that will leave this 2019.

Compact and minimalist watches

It seems that the trends are increasingly looking for compact watches, very different from the designs that go beyond the 50 mm. in boxes. Obviously, watches with presence will always be present on our wrists, however, both women and men seem to be betting on more discreet sizes this season.

Always noble materials

Gold never goes out of style, but this year it seems to be one of the most established trends. Buyers and collectors look for pieces with reliable mechanisms, but that are also adorned with precious metals such as yellow gold, white gold, diamonds, etc. This year, brands have opted for jewel watches more than ever.

Vintage yet modern

Modern designs inspired by the vintage style continue to be an insurance in the luxury watchmaking sector, which has forced many brands to redesign their more traditional designs, providing a contemporary style, the result is an endless catalog of watches that, from the classic, they arrive in 2019 with a totally renewed appearance.

Trust in established brands

Many brands try to launch themselves into the luxury watchmaking sector, however, poas manage to compete with the traditional ones. 2019 has been a particularly fruitful year for traditional manufacturers, and nobody is reluctant to invest in an Audemars, a Rolex or a Hublot, safe brands that offer unbeatable pieces, and that have been protagonists for yet another year.

The mechanical lasts forever

Another trend this year has been mechanical parts. More and more people are aware that a luxury watch must be mechanical, the consequence is that this type of mechanism is increasingly popular, and that mechanical watches keep all the essence of the watchmaking tradition.

Tradition and technology

And despite the fact that, as we say, classic mechanics continues to occupy a privileged place, the union of tradition and technology is, without a doubt, one of the great trends, generating digital pieces in collaboration with the great Swiss watchmaking houses.
