The watch industry is evolving, but where is it headed in 2025? In this episode of Wrist Enthusiast Radio, we break down the biggest trends we expect to see—from the rise (and fall) of integrated bracelet watches to the comeback of stone dials, microbrand innovations, and the growing shift in watch sizing. Will brands finally embrace future-forward designs, or will they keep looking to the past? What will be released during Watches & Wonders 2025?

 

We also discuss the impact of potential tariffs on watch manufacturing, the growing trend of “boyfriend watches,” and whether watch theft concerns are reshaping how collectors wear their pieces.
