Tomorrow (February 6th), tickets will go online for Watches and Wonders’ public days and there is going to be more to see than ever before. So, make sure you are in front of your computer when the ticket gates because they are going to go fast!
The big news for this year’s 2024 edition is that there is going to be an extra day of festivities, so you can sign up for one, two, or three days (Saturday 13th to Monday 15th April inclusive). Tickets will go online on www.watchesandwonders.com tomorrow (Tuesday 6th February). The exact time has yet to be specified, so if you want us to drop you a line when tickets are live, let us know below and you will be the first to know.
Every edition gets bigger and better, but the organizers have really put their hearts and souls into making the public days a horological extravaganza this year. The big news is that it is going to be possible to book watch presentations to see the novelties from your favourite brands in small groups directed by the individual brand’s product experts. And if visiting over 50 watch brands isn’t enough to keep you entertained, there will also be guided tours to make the most of your visit and a host of panel discussions each day on watchmaking topics covering economics, society, and technology.
For those who aren’t quick enough to get tickets, there is no need to despair as there will also be a new Watchmaking Village in the heart of Geneva on the Pont de la Machine. The watch boutiques will be open with a host of in-store activities and presentations and there will be many opportunities to learn more about the art of watchmaking and talk to experts directly. One important date to put in your diary is the evening of Thursday 11th April at Quai Général-Guisan as there will be a free concert, so definitely get your dancing shoes out for that!
We understand that many of you may be reading this from abroad, cursing me for tempting you with such delights, but don’t worry, we have you covered too. At WorldTempus, we have loads of things planned for Watches and Wonders with new watch reviews, one-on-one interviews with the brand’s movers and shakers, and fun videos where we put the watches to real tests. You can also join us for the experience on social media @worldtempus so you will be in the thick of the action with us, so there really is no excuse for not joining the fun!
