Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we have a different episode style. Your friendly co-hosts check in while on the go at Geneva Watch Days 2024. Ultimately, we try to give you a feel for the non-stop schedule and what it’s like to be at a show. There’s no banter beforehand, so let the audio roll!

We’re back from Geneva Watch Days 2024, but while we were on the go at the show, we turned the microphones on for brief segments. You’ll hear us discuss our schedules, brands, individual watches, people, shoes, and more! We hope you like it. If not, we’ll be back with a more normal episode next week!

While recording most segments, we attempted to bring up the watches on our wrists. Due to Mike’s previous “fun” at the Swiss border, he kept his options to the Ming 17.09 Blue and the Patek Philippe Calatrava 570. Balazs was slightly more daring with his Rolex Submariner 5513, Ming 17.09 Burgundy, and Sinn Excelsior Park chronograph. Choosing a watch for an event like Geneva Watch Days is challenging, and it’s often best to pick a brand that isn’t exhibiting. Plus, when on the go in 30-plus-degree humid weather, it also helps to consider a relatively robust watch. As an aside, none of our watches suffered any damage.

On the go in Geneva

Balazs and I spent three days at Geneva Watch Days 2024, and it felt like we maximized our time at the event. Meetings started at 9:00 AM and ran until at least 6:00 PM. Then, afterglow events kicked off at the main tent or brand-specific parties. We moved back and forth between hotels and boutiques for discussions, fueled on espresso and water. Food? It takes a conscious effort to remember to eat! Still, it was great fun, and we enjoyed seeing some amazing timepieces. We hope you enjoy today’s episode. Next week, we will discuss our favorite watches from the event, which will wrap up Geneva Watch Days 2024!
