Hold onto your hats and, more importantly, your wristwatches! The much-anticipated Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026 is already making waves, thanks to the announcement that Audemars Piguet will be gracing the halls for the first time next year. Joining a cavalcade of ten other new marquee brands, Audemars Piguet, the legendary Swiss watchmaker hailing from Le Brassus, is poised to add an extra dash of precision and prestige to this horological extravaganza.
Watches & Wonders isn’t just about adding new brands to its already impressive roster of 66 watchmaking entities. It’s about amplifying the experience for everyone involved. With the inclusion of l’Epée 1839 – Switzerland’s lone high-end clockmaking specialist – and an updated spatial layout set to make room for a host of artisan-creators, the event is upping its ante.
One can only imagine the excitement as emerging brands like Behrens, Bianchet, and B.R.M Chronographes, among others, share the stage with industry titans. The reshuffling of some seasoned exhibitors such as H. Moser & Cie. and Frederique Constant promises fresh vibes at their expanded booths.
But that’s not all. If you’re dreaming of the future of watchmaking or conjuring ideas about where this centuries-old craft will head next, you’ll want to make a stop at The LAB. This idea incubator welcomes breakthroughs just waiting to disrupt the field, allowing startups, companies, and laboratories to introduce their brainchildren to a discerning audience.
This celebrated event devoted to timepieces promises more than just an assemblage of ticking attractions. Geneva might as well be the star of its own show with a city-wide cultural program featuring workshops, museums, after-hour events, and engaging activities for younger fans. With shuttle services ready to magically whisk attendees ‘In The City’, Watches & Wonders ensures you won’t need a time-turner to see it all.
So, mark your calendars for April 14th-20th, 2026. With pocketfuls of innovation and a heart beating in perfect Swiss time, Geneva is prepping to be the ultimate playground for watch lovers!
