Trend preview 2026: How jewelry and watches are redefining luxury
As an international platform for jewelry, watches, and design, INHORGENTA provides early inspiration for what moves the market. Together with author Jeannine Reiher, the German Jewelry, Watch, Silverware, and Related Industries Association (BVSU) has already identified the key jewelry and watch trends for 2026 in the run-up to the spring trade fairs.
The results paint a clear picture of the mood:
Jewelry and watches are moving toward a new understanding of luxury: powerful yet balanced, striking yet wearable, individual yet durable. What they have in common is a new understanding of luxury: less ostentatious, but clearer, more conscious, and more focused on design, substance, and everyday practicality.
While the jewelry trends for 2026 tell a story of power and harmony, new proportions, and high emotionality, the watch trends for 2026 show how classic codes are being reinterpreted—with a focus on reduction, material quality, and timeless design. Both perspectives reflect the close dialogue between fashion and the market, which INHORGENTA, as the leading trade fair, also actively helps to shape.
