For its 30th edition, Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie becomes Watches & Wonders Geneva. Introducing a new format, new dates and new audiences, this original concept includes In the City programming, in association with the City and the Canton of Geneva.

Montblanc’s women’s collection welcomes four day/night models, a full calendar and, the standout piece, an in-house perpetual calendar. Confirmation that men no longer have a monopoly on high mechanics.

It was a great year all round at SIHH, and a banner year for ladies’ watches. New complications, purpose-built movements, new materials and virtuoso gem-setting rendered ladies’ watches from the show’s Maisons as technically impressive as men’s watches this year, and as aesthetically impressive as ever.

The Geneva fair may have closed its doors, the fabulous new watches on show are still fresh in our minds. From the most complicated to the most robust, from the most poetic to the most vintage, FHH Journal’s contributors share their favourites.

“Unit 1 calling Unit 2. Rubidium atoms detected, vicinity of the Urwerk AMC. Approaching the zone, over.” “Unit 2 to Unit 1, confirm intentions. Investigating solar energy theft at Ressence, Type 2, over.”

Faster-paced, more connected and interactive, the new-format SIHH delivered on social media. Two weeks on, we analyze what made its mark online.
