What's next for the watch industry? Jack and Tim use Watches & Wonders 2026 as a lens to ask where luxury watchmaking is really headed. They dig into TAG Heuer's chronograph innovation, the Patek Philippe 6105 and its advanced research, and why this year felt short on genuine technical innovation or design trends. They get into the direction Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin are moving and how Breguet's 2025 anniversary launches and the Swatch Group's absence reflect the changing state of the watch trade show. Plus the quiet shift that might actually define what's next: jump hours, retrogrades, and a new race toward high-precision chronometry from such as Grand Seiko's UFA.
