Leading Players Driving the Mechanical Watch Market Forward
The mechanical watch sector is dominated by a number of prominent companies, including Pobeda LCC, Rolex Watch U.S.A. Inc., Citizen Watch Co. Ltd., Seiko Watch Corporation, FOSSIL GROUP Inc., Cartier International SNC, TAG Heuer, Piaget SA, OMEGA SA, Le Petit-Fils de L.-U.

This strategic move aims to reinforce Rolex's grip on the luxury watch retail market and maintain its longstanding collaboration with Bucherer, a well-established luxury watch and jewelry company in the mechanical watch industry.

Innovations Defining Trends in the Mechanical Watch Market
Companies within this market are pushing the boundaries of innovation, particularly with advancements like the automatic self-winding system. This mechanism converts the natural motion of the wearer's wrist into energy, which powers the watch without the need for daily manual winding, ensuring precision and convenience. For example, in September 2025, Swiss luxury watchmaker Ulysse Nardin unveiled the Freak X Crystalium, a limited-edition model featuring a mechanical flying carousel movement equipped with an automatic self-winding system. This watch uses a rotating Crystalium hour disc made from crystallized ruthenium to indicate the hours, while the movement bridge acts as the minute hand, offering a fully visible and dynamic time display. The timepiece also incorporates high-tech elements like a silicon balance wheel that enhances accuracy, durability, and showcases a unique horological experience.
