As the Northern Hemisphere eagerly anticipates spring’s arrival, the watchmaking community’s attention turns to Geneva, where the prestigious Watches and Wonders fair will take place from April 1st to 7th, 2025. This year’s event promises to be the largest and most diverse gathering in its four-year history. A record 60 brands will be taking over the town, showcasing their latest innovations and timepieces.

As always, the Fratello team will be there, providing comprehensive coverage of Watches and Wonders 2025. Our team members will bring you all the latest on the novelties. They’ll ensure that you, our readers, are informed about the latest developments and all standout pieces unveiled at the fair.

Watches and Wonders 2025 — A record-breaking lineup

The 2025 edition marks a significant milestone with the inclusion of renowned brands such as Bvlgari exhibiting for the first time. In addition, six more independent brands will join the festivities — Christiaan van der Klaauw, Genus, Kross Studio, MeisterSinger, Armin Strom, and HYT. Their participation underscores the fair’s commitment to embracing established maisons and emerging talents. This offers attendees a comprehensive view of the watchmaking industry’s vibrant landscape.

This year’s theme centers around youth and innovation. Exhibiting brands will not only present their latest collections but also highlight the contributions of young talents — apprentices, recent graduates, and skilled craftspeople. This focus aims to spotlight the next generation of horological artisans, ensuring the perpetuation of traditional craftsmanship infused with contemporary creativity.

Event information and “In the City”

As in previous years, the week-long event is split into two parts:

April 1–4: Exclusive access for retailers, journalists, and industry professionals.
April 5–7: Open to the general public, allowing enthusiasts and collectors to immerse themselves in the latest watchmaking innovations.

Beyond the walls of the Palexpo exhibition center, the city of Geneva will pulsate with watch-related activities. The “In the City” program invites visitors to engage with young professionals and trainees presenting their projects at the Watchmaking Village and various boutiques. Enthusiasts can immerse themselves in guided tours, interactive workshops, and panel discussions. You can find more information and the complete program of activities here.
