Behind the Scenes at Watches & Wonders 2025: My Insider Experience

I’ve just returned from my second visit to Watches & Wonders in Geneva — this time with a deeper sense of what makes the show so special. In this video, I’m sharing my personal highlights, candid moments, hands-on impressions of key releases, and a few surprises — from Lange’s provocative Odysseus in Honey Gold, to Grand Seiko’s ultra-precise Spring Drive UFA, and Bremont’s bold ambitions backed by Bill Ackman. You’ll get a feel for what it’s actually like to attend Watches and Wonders as an industry guest, complete with a few real-world moments. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, industry insider, or just a lover of horology, I hope this gives you a human and heartfelt look at Watches & Wonders 2025.
