WATCHES & WONDERS 2020
Watches & Wonders, formerly known as SIHH (Salon International de l’Haute Horlogerie) is arguably the most private multi-brand event in the watch calendar. It is broken up into two separate events: Watches & Wonders-The Salon and Watches & Wonders-In the City. The Salon was meant to remain in the Palexpo, the large convention centre in Geneva where the show has taken place for many years, whereas Watches & Wonders-In the City would be completely free and open to the public through watch boutiques and private spaces throughout Geneva. Well, that was pre-Covid19…
When the Covid-19 crisis forced the cancellation of the event, a digital platform was created to provide a virtual experience of Watches & Wonders on April 25. This way, retailers, journalists, and collectors can simply click their way through all the novelties from 30 premier brands ranging from Richemont marques—such as A. Lange & Söhne, IWC, and Panerai—to small independents, including MB&F, Laurent Ferrier, and H. Moser & Cie.
Although not the same it gives us something to look forward to once we can finally walk into boutiques again. In the meantime, please find our TOP TEN video-selection of our favourite new timepieces.
