Mavericks of Time 2026 Watchmakers

THE WATCHMAKERS AT MAVERICKS OF TIME

Mavericks of Time brings established manufactures and independent watchmakers to Abu Dhabi, each with a distinct perspective on contemporary watchmaking.

THE MAVERICKS

Three names shaping the future of independent watchmaking, each driven by an uncompromising vision of what a watch can be.

GREUBEL FORSEY

Greubel Forsey takes some of watchmaking’s most demanding complications and pushes them into extraordinary territory. Its multi-axis tourbillons, sculptural constructions and meticulous hand-finishing reveal a fascination with precision that is as technical as it is visual. At Mavericks of Time, discover a brand that continues to challenge what a mechanical watch can be.

See how Moser turns restraint into one of watchmaking’s most distinctive signatures.

UNIVERSAL GENÈVE

One of Swiss watchmaking’s most storied names enters a new chapter. Known for shaping some of the 20th century’s most distinctive chronographs and elegant timepieces, Universal Genève brings a rich design and technical legacy into the present. Its return is guided by respect for the codes that defined the manufacture, while creating space for a new expression of the brand and what comes next.

DISCOVER THE JEWELLERY MAISONS

In Abu Dhabi, each maker brings its own way of telling time. Ressence displays the hours on rotating discs instead of hands, Urwerk tells time with orbiting satellite hours, and HYT measures it with liquid. Ulysse Nardin draws on its marine chronometer roots, Girard-Perregaux on its signature gold bridges, and Chronoswiss on the regulator dial. Konstantin Chaykin gives its dials character and wit, while Singer Reimagined rethinks the chronograph. De Bethune, Rexhep Rexhepi, Vyntage Horology, Daniel Roth, Gérald Genta, Gerald Charles, Laurent Ferrier, Speake-Marin, Vanguart and Kerbedanz add further perspectives. Norqain, Studio Underd0g, Nivada Grenchen, Atelier Wen, Kollokium, Chronoswiss and Keris complete the line-up with a bolder point of view.

EXPLORE THE SEDDIQI VAULT

Throughout Mavericks of Time, guests will be invited to discover the participating watchmakers through curated displays and experiences designed to offer a closer perspective on their work. The Seddiqi Vault, a focal point of the experience, will showcase four distinct expressions of the Maverick: Haute Horology, Mechanical, Contemporary and Heritage.
