Since its founding in 2020, Geneva Watch Days has evolved from a tight exhibition of seven brands to a major show with more than 70 watchmakers, making it the biggest and most important Swiss show after Watches & Wonders. This week Andy and Felix go through some of the highlights. From favourites like the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Dual Time x Vianney Halter and the Ming 57.05 Comet through to a few surprises, and one or two head-scratchers, the overall slate of releases was solid. And of course, it wouldn’t be a major watch fair if a few brands didn’t capitalise on the heat by jumping on the release schedule (we’re looking at you, Tudor).
