With 54 exhibiting Maisons set against an exquisite backdrop, the Salon is poised to reveal the latest marvels in watch collections and innovations. This convergence of heritage and modernity is not just for seasoned collectors but also opens its doors to novices and aficionados, inviting them to immerse in the culture and craftsmanship of watchmaking.
The emphasis will be on innovation, with a special focus on young people, offering a truly educational and cultural platform. “We have noticed a growing interest in our industry from the younger generation, with an average age of 35 on the public days, which is extremely encouraging,” comments Matthieu Humair, CEO of the Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation.
