Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 is expected to be the largest and most influential edition of the exhibition to date. With 66 of the world’s leading watchmaking houses gathering at Palexpo and throughout the city, the event will attract an international audience of collectors, executives, journalists, and high-net-worth travelers.
This year’s expanded “In the City” programme confirms the increasing integration between haute horlogerie, cultural experiences, and luxury hospitality.
As Geneva prepares for thousands of visitors navigating a complex schedule of industry presentations, boutique events, interviews, and evening activations, the role of luxury mobility becomes essential.
Since its origins as the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), Watches and Wonders has evolved into the world’s most important watchmaking event.
The 2026 edition brings together extraordinary names such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and dozens of independent maisons.
The programme includes:
Exclusive presentations and collection unveilings
Workshops, demonstrations, and guided experiences
Activations at Pont de la Machine
A new jazz club concept in partnership with the Montreux Jazz Festival
City-wide exhibitions and boutique programming
With activities distributed across Palexpo and central Geneva, visitors must move efficiently between venues - making reliable ground transportation a crucial aspect of the experience.
Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 will take place from April 14 to April 20, 2026, at Palexpo in Geneva.
The Salon will be open to the public from April 18 to April 20, 2026, offering three days of access to exhibitions and experiences.
Tickets go on sale on February 10, 2026, available exclusively online.
