Geneva Watch Days

The Experience

APPLICATIONS FOR THE 6TH EDITION OF THE GENEVA WATCH DAYS ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL MARCH 31st, 2025. join us, BE INCLUDED.

Launched in 2020 by six Founding Members – Breitling, Bvlgari, De Bethune, Girard-Perregaux, H. Moser & Cie. and MB&F – the decentralized event has grown to become a cornerstone for the watchmaking community.

The concept? A common pavilion to showcase the brands’ timepieces to the public, discuss current topics, and celebrate high horology, as well as decentralized locations—boutiques or hotels—for each Maison to welcome watch enthusiasts.

The philosophy? A relaxed and festive atmosphere, a simple yet efficient organization, all with the Jet d’Eau in sight, in the late summer heat.

In 2024, there were more than 100 exceptional timepieces from 52 participating brands waiting to be discovered at Rotonde du Mont-Blanc – in free access. Nearly 14’000 visitors took their chance.

Jean-Christophe Babin, President of the GWD, about the 2025 edition : « As a representative of the founding members from 2020 and everyone who has contributed to GWD’s continued success since then, I am proud to expand the event’s perspectives. The GWD has now secured its place on the agenda of collectors worldwide. And that’s our goal: to bring together media, retailers, and, most importantly, those who matter most—our clients. To offer them the best experience, we’re opening our doors to all brands that demonstrate innovation, courage, and resilience. »

A new “Access” contributor category, The Incubator, will debut in 2025. This initiative aims to bring together under the same umbrella smaller, independent brands —highly creative, dynamic, and innovative, but often with limited budgets. This addition will further expand GWD’s mission.

 

GUIDED TOURS

From the opening day and throughout the four-day event, the public will enjoy free guided tours departing from the central Pavilion. These tours will be led by experts certified by the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH). The tours will extend into the showrooms of several brands and conclude at the FHH headquarters, Pont de la Machine, with a visit to the “Watches and Talents” exhibition.

SYMPOSIUMS

Each afternoon, experts from the watch world will share their vision on different topics. These panels are open to the public. Join at the Geneva Watch Days new Glass box, next to the Pavilion, at the Rotonde du Mont-Blanc.

other activities

Each day, “Watch Reviews”, will present the latest offerings from brands, while a “Quizz & Brunch by FHH” will allow everyone to test their watchmaking knowledge.

AUCTION

CHF 108,000 was raised in 2024 thanks to a charity auction organized jointly by Geneva Watch Days and Phillips in collaboration with Bacs & Russo. This was offered to the “Pierre Amstutz Fund” in memory of the former Director of the Geneva Watchmaking School – a non-profit organization aimed at supporting students in need, enabling them to complete their training in better conditions. It is a mark of the industry’s solidarity and determination to protect its expertise. The path is now open for a new auction in 2025.

HISTORICAL CRADLE OF FINE WATCHMAKING

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND

Geneva is the birthplace of the swiss watchmaking industry and precision artistry. For more than 500 years, watchmaking has always been the heartbeat of this international lakeside city.

With the support of the State and City of Geneva
'The Geneva Watch Days was born in 2020 after the cancellations of Baselworld and Watches & Wonders, due to the pandemic. New rules for a new world: decentralized, inclusive, agile and open to the public. Today, more innovative than ever, we continue to celebrate high horology in one of its cradle - Geneva.'
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE BABIN, CEO OF BVLGARI
