Watches and Wonders 2025: The Pinnacle of Luxury Watchmaking Returns to Geneva
The world of horology eagerly anticipates the return of Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, the premier event for luxury timepieces, taking place from April 1 to 7, 2025. As the industry’s most prestigious gathering, this annual event showcases the latest innovations, timeless craftsmanship, and emerging trends that define fine watchmaking. Whether you're a collector, enthusiast, or industry professional, Watches and Wonders Geneva offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the artistry and precision that elevate luxury watches beyond mere accessories.
An Unprecedented Lineup of Luxury Watch Brands
This year’s event is set to be the largest in its history, featuring an exceptional roster of 60 world-renowned brands, from legendary Swiss manufacturers to innovative independent watchmakers. Notably, BVLGARI will make its debut at Watches and Wonders, alongside six independent brands making their first appearance: Christiaan van der Klaauw, Genus, Kross Studio, MeisterSinger, Armin Strom, and HYT. Their inclusion further reinforces the event’s dedication to both heritage and innovation, providing a platform for both iconic names and rising stars in haute horology.
A Celebration of Youth, Innovation, and Craftsmanship
A defining theme of Watches and Wonders 2025 is the celebration of youth, with a particular emphasis on the next generation of watchmakers. The event will shine a spotlight on young apprentices, newly graduated artisans, and master craftsmen, giving them a platform to share their expertise and vision for the future of the industry. As horology evolves with new materials, cutting-edge technology, and sustainable practices, Watches and Wonders serves as a bridge between tradition and innovation.
Expect to witness groundbreaking advancements in movement design, case materials, and high-complication engineering, as brands push the boundaries of what’s possible in watchmaking. Sustainability and eco-conscious watch production will also be a major focus, with several brands unveiling environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient manufacturing processes.
An Immersive Experience: Public Days and "In the City" Program
While the first four days (April 1–4) are reserved for retailers, journalists, and industry professionals, the final three days (April 5–7) are open to the public. This is an exciting opportunity for watch lovers to explore the latest collections, participate in guided tours, hands-on workshops, and engaging panel discussions led by industry leaders and brand executives.
Beyond the halls of the Palexpo convention centre, Geneva itself becomes an extension of Watches and Wonders through the “In the City” program. From April 1 to 5, the heart of Geneva will transform into a watchmaking hub with the Watchmaking Village at Pont de la Machine. Here, visitors can take part in watchmaking masterclasses, learn about the intricacies of time measurement, and interact with some of the world’s most skilled artisans. This initiative ensures that Watches and Wonders extends beyond an industry event, embracing the entire city and inviting everyone to partake in the magic of watchmaking.
Ticketing and Premium Packages: Plan Your Visit
Tickets for the public days go on sale starting February 11, 2025, exclusively through the official Watches and Wonders website. A variety of ticketing options will be available, including standard one-day passes and premium packages that offer exclusive services such as private guided tours, VIP lounge access, and hands-on experiences with master watchmakers. Given the high demand, visitors are encouraged to book early to secure their spot at this highly anticipated event.

Beyond Watches and Wonders, visitors can immerse themselves in Swiss horological culture by exploring iconic locations such as Patek Philippe Museum, the Rolex headquarters, and the historic watch boutiques of Rue du Rhône.
