The watch trends of spring 2022

Spring is on the rise and with the first delicate blossoms tilting their heads towards the sun, brand new innovations and inspirations are appearing on the scene of the watch scene in keeping with the season. What is moving the world of watches in spring 2022 and what trends are emerging in terms of technology and design? We at Horando are getting to the bottom of this below.

Unisex models: watch trends for him and her

While men's watches have tended to become smaller and less bulky in recent years, women's watches no longer have to be delicate. Women's and men's designs are becoming more similar, which means that more and more watch models fall into the "unisex" category.

A wonderful example from our range is the Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 from Tudor , which looks good on any wrist with its simple black leather strap and reduced diameter of 39 mm. The same goes for the Hydroconquest model from Longines in a modern olive green design with light-coloured contrasting numerals and a case made of steel and ceramic. On the other hand, things get classic and chic with the Pilot's Watch Chronograph Spitfire from IWC . Here, a brown strap made of soft calf leather and a black dial set in an elegant steel case combine to create a thoroughly successful timepiece for him and her.

Another watch model from our selection that can be described as a unisex product with a clear conscience is the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time by Patek Philippe . The rose gold case, together with the dark brown dial and the calf leather strap in a lively cognac tone, gives this watch a timelessly elegant look that is sure to delight women and men alike.

Unisex is clearly the trend this spring, but at the same time the range of business watches specifically for women is also growing. Here, for example, diamonds are combined with cheerful color elements, marbled components, mother of pearl and rose gold, resulting in an unmistakably feminine, expressive look.

Movement fine-tuning: Higher power reserve as a watch trend in 2022

Mechanical watch movements have reached a technical high point that leaves little room for optimization in terms of basic functions. However, this does not stop the manufacturers of luxury watches from working hard on fine-tuning and thus ensuring that their watch movements are constantly getting a little bit better.

A watch trend for spring 2022 can be found in mechanical timepieces with a higher power reserve. Where previously it usually stopped at around 40 hours, today models with power reserves of over 50 to a full 70 hours are no longer uncommon. At this point we would like to talk about the Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope Co‑Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph luxury watch, which, in addition to a lot of technology - including a tachymeter, pulsometer and date display - impresses with a 60-hour power reserve. This is topped again by the Code 11.59 model from Audemars Piguet : the fascinating watch with an alligator leather strap and white gold case even cracks the full 70 hours. When it comes to power reserve, spring 2022 is clearly under the motto "more is more".

Another "construction site" where renowned manufacturers of high-end timepieces are fine-tuning relates to protecting the watches from the influence of magnetic fields. With the aim of making the products more resistant, elements made of anti-magnetic materials such as silicon are integrated for this purpose.

Watch trends spring 2022: sporty designs and daring shapes

Real spring feelings are likely to arise in many a watch fan when the Breitling Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar comes into focus. With a date and month display, rotating bezel, small second, luminous hands and moon phase, this automatic watch has pretty much everything on board that a true connoisseur could wish for. Thanks to the black, ribbed rubber strap and the steel-rose gold combination of the case, the luxury model Caliber Breitling 19 combines unmistakable high quality with everyday sportiness and should therefore not be forgotten when it comes to the watch trends of spring 2022.

The Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Calibre 5 Automatic watch is also sporty, but with a more extravagant design, and is one of our most popular models. Instead of the traditional round shape of the case, this timepiece has clear edges: the forest green dial is set in a twelve-sided titanium case, so that the men's watch with a silver titanium bracelet is guaranteed to attract everyone's attention. So we can say: If you are in the mood for something new, daring and yet highly functional, as is typical for spring, you will definitely find what you are looking for among the watch trends for 2022.

Fascination Watch: Spring Trends 2022 for Everyone

In summary, you could say that the watch trends for spring 2022 are all about diversity. Both watches with a classic design and more abstract models for the fashionably daring find their place here and ensure that the watch scene remains miles away from boredom and monotony this year. The large number of unisex models also means that women and men have an even larger selection and everyone really has the opportunity to find their personal spring favorite in 2022.
