Showcasing 50 brands with more than 40,000 visitors, up from 20,000 people in 2022 this rip-roaring display of luxury timepieces firmly put to bed the ghost of Baselworld.
And with nearly 1.500 journalists in Geneva as well as more than 12,000 registrations for the Touch and Feel sessions, it goes to show the popularity of horology. Nothing is off the horological table when it comes to new timepieces, luxury refinery, exquisite craftsmanship and cool calibres.

From the unveiling of the new Rolex Yacht-Master in titanium and the 1908 to Patek Philippe releasing 17 magnificent watches, there was much to drool over by enthusiasts young and old. Plus, let’s not forget a big shout out to our green fingered friend, the Kermit Oris. It’s a big Yaaaaaay from us.
