We are starting to see some announcements from the SIHH brands - the show opens in just over a week. Not for me because I don't want any more DLC, but Montblanc has announced a flyback chrono in it's TimeWalker series:  and Piaget has announced the Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Automatic Ultra Thin:  There have been a few others, but these are the standouts for me so far - at least as far as SIHH related announcements. AP announced a rather nice Minute Repeater in November:

Didn't post the 1858 because it wasn't really a standout for me for the money. I am a big fan of the Quai de l'Ile range, but this one is butt ugly to me - just too much dead space in the middle. |

Looks like IWC is featuring the Portofino range. 8 Days Manual wind:  (Picture from Perpetuelle) No details on size but the movement is the 59210 which is almost 38mm so expect it to be about 42mm. There is also a new Portofino Dual Time, but no pictures yet. |

That Portofino looks very nice Roff. Does it have an in-house movement? |

Unfortunately yes I do know the size. I agree with you that it is magnificent, and an LE of 959 (the other one is 359 for the US only). I was all set to call and reserve one pending confirmation of price (supposedly $12,300), but........ It's 40.5mm
