Your Complete Guide to Watches and Wonders 2026, And Everything Happening During The Geneva Watch Week

Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 and the Geneva Watch Week are fast approaching, so it’s the perfect time to start planning your trip. Here’s an overview of what awaits you, whether you’re visiting Geneva for a week of work, fun, or simply a celebration of watches. The event continues to expand in scale and importance along with a host of parallel presentations, which promise us a week full of fervour. To help you make the most of your time in Geneva, here’s a glimpse of what awaits you in the heart of the watchmaking world. Watches and Wonders will open its doors from April 14 to 20. Alongside the main fair, a host of satellite events and brand presentations will take place, with dozens of maisons preparing to unveil their latest creations. While it would be impossible to list every brand exhibiting in Geneva during Watches & Wonders week, we have indicated below the main hubs and where to find over 250 brands.

Alongside all the information below, the MONOCHROME team will be on the ground in Geneva to cover Watches and Wonders 2026 in real time. A first series of releases is expected at the beginning of April as the press embargo lifts for several smaller brands, while the major maisons will unveil their novelties when the embargo lifts as of April 14th at 00:01 AM. Stay tuned for comprehensive coverage, hands-on reports and all the latest news from the fair.

Whether you are a professional or an enthusiast, not all events are open to the public; some require accreditation or tickets. Most brands will welcome visitors by appointment only. There are many happenings throughout the week, so planning is essential.

Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 – April 14-20, 2026 – Palexpo

Watches and Wonders comes back with an expanded format. 66 Maisons will be exhibiting their watches at Palexpo. Besides the “regular” brands, including industry giants Rolex, Patek Philippe, Richemont, and LVMH brands, the big headline-grabbing news was the return of Audemars Piguet alongside 10 new brands: Behrens, Bianchet, B.R.M Chronographes, Charles Girardier, Corum, Credor, Favre Leuba, l’Epée 1839, March LA.B and Sinn Spezialuhren. Among the most notable exits is Montblanc.

The Salon will expand this space and propose a redesigned floor plan – among other reasons – to welcome these new brands. Watches and Wonders also continues its effort to open to a larger audience. Tickets for public days (April 18-20) went on sale February 10, 2026, via the official website. To extend beyond the halls, the fair will renew its cultural programming, citywide events, and in-the-city showcases across Geneva.
