Watches and Wonders Geneva 2023 - The Extraordinary Global Watch Event is Back & How

Watches and Wonders Geneva 2023

Finally!! The most respected show in the luxury watch industry, Watches and Wonders, will return with a flourish to Geneva from March 27 to April 2, 2023.

During Watches and Wonders Geneva 2023, the watchmaking capital of the world will host 48 of the world's greatest watch companies, makers, and shops showcasing the finest watches during this event.

Rolex, Patek Philippe, and IWC, along with Cartier, Chanel, and Hermès, will be among the horology and luxury brands on show. A number of independents, like Laurent Ferrier and Rudis Sylva, will also grace the ultimate global luxury watch event.

Although Watches and Wonders will be held within the Palexpo exposition centre, for the first time, the event will extend onto the streets of the Swiss city. As part of the 'In the City' event, major watch boutiques on Rue du Rhône and Rues Basses are opening their doors and showcasing exceptional designs, opulent pieces, and uncommon watch complexities.

In addition to a trade expo, the public may also attend lectures and debate panels presented by famous specialists and speakers. Topics span from analysing watch trends to discussing watch worth to beginning a collection of antique timepieces. Topical topics like as the metaverse, NFTs, blockchain, and circularity will also be covered.

There will also be a variety of exhibits to view, including Karine Bauzin's photography show titled "What time is it?"

A spectacular event on March 30 at Rues Basses will draw visitors into the world of watchmaking via music, street entertainment, and renowned artists.

"Also on April 1 and 2, 2023 for the first time ever, the 'Salon' will also be available to the public, enabling enthusiasts and collectors to see exclusive novelties, exceptional designs, and rare watches."

Beginning 1 February 2023, tickets for Watches and Wonders 2023 will be available online.

The Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation (WWGF), a new non-profit organisation located in Geneva, is devoted to promoting "watchmaking excellence around the globe" via worldwide in-person or digital watch and jewellery exhibits.
