Amid growing scrutiny over its commercial entanglements and escalating displays of wealth, the Met Gala continues to expand beyond its curatorial origins — setting the stage for a theme that is as open to interpretation as it is ambiguous.

The most memorable looks from the 2026 Met Gala saw luxury Maisons remain anchored in house codes over literal interpretations of the evening’s theme.

Franck Muller unveils a tour de force at this year’s World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie, with new additions to its emblematic collections as well as an entirely novel silhouette. Headlining this year’s launches is the Imperium Block, the first of a new collection defined by a striking geometric case shape and its imposing presence. In steel or blackened titanium, the novelties command attention with their purity of design and angular form.

Where others put watches in a vitrine, Franck Muller puts a vitrine in its new Vanguard Aero Revolution 3 Skeleton. The watch’s openworked architecture and tri-axial tourbillon are on full display within a tonneau-shaped rose-gold and sapphire-crystal case, which affords maximum visibility of the complication pioneered by the eponymous brand founder, composed of three concentric spinning cages.

Five jumping discs, for hours, minutes, and date, track the passage of time on the manual-winding Master Jumper Skeleton; a dedicated barrel supplies the massive amount of energy needed for the one-minute disc, thus keeping the overall power reserve at a generous 30 hours. Meanwhile, the Round Triple Mystery Skeleton follows up on the Round Triple Mystery from late last year, with an ethereal diamond-set lattice revealing glimpses of the automatic movement ensconced within.

These are just a few of ’s most exciting novelties this year - keep watching for more!
