From Bvlgari and Zenith to Hublot, here are six of the best timepieces from the first luxury watch reveal of 2020
The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) has moved its traditional January dates to April, to coordinate with Switzerland's other watch fair, Baselworld.
A growing number of watchmakers have subsequently decided to bring their new models to market throughout the year, and three luxury brands unveiled their latest novelties in Dubai last week, as part of the very first (and highly-anticipated) LVMH Watch Week.
Here are the highlights:

1. Bvlgari’s Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon
An indisputable highlight, Bvlgari unveiled the world's smallest tourbillon for women. The latest Serpenti Seduttori houses a unique movement that was specially designed to fit inside the unique and sleek dimensions of its snake head-inspired case.
Rhodium-plated and hand-decorated with the Côtes de Genève striped pattern, the movement also features one sapphire bridge, all of which can be admired through the transparent sapphire case back—a nice touch considering most women's timepieces don't showcase the insides.
Available in rose and white gold with diamond pavé and a leather strap, or white gold with diamond pavé and a full diamond bracelet, the Serpenti Sedutttori Tourbillon proves that exceptional watchmaking needn't be reserved for men.
