Gucci builds out its watch offering for 2026 with a release that moves between high craft and everyday wear, all anchored in the brand’s archive. The lineup introduces new High Watchmaking pieces alongside updated Horsebit and Bamboo styles, keeping things rooted in heritage while pushing material and design forward.
At the top end are five new High Watchmaking models. Four sit within the G-Timeless Métiers d’Art line, where Gucci’s archival silk scarf designs are reworked into detailed dials using techniques like micro-painting, engraving, enamelling, and feather inlay. Each comes in a 40mm case with an alligator strap and an engraved case back. Two of the pieces feature feather work by artist Nelly Saunier, using feathers collected during natural moulting and applied by hand.
The designs draw on familiar Gucci motifs, including the Flora print, cranes, tropical birds, and a tiger, all set with gemstones, mother-of-pearl, and layered textures. Each watch also includes a tourbillon at 12 o’clock, tying the visual detail back to traditional watchmaking.
The GUCCI 25H returns in its ultra-thin 40mm form, updated with a gradient of rainbow sapphires set by hand around the open dial, framing the visible movement while maintaining its clean, architectural shape.
Rounding things out, Gucci revisits the Horsebit and Bamboo lines with a focus on everyday wear. The Horsebit arrives in five versions with compact cases, offered on steel bracelets or leather straps in a range of dial colours. The Bamboo line continues one of the brand’s most recognizable motifs, reworked into four variations,
including wood, steel, and bicolor designs, all built for easy, daily use.
