A Unique Experience

A look ahead to the third edition of Watches&Wonders, an immersion into the endlessly creative world of fine watchmaking

The Clé de Cartier Flying Tourbillon

Engaging Through Digital Technology

This third edition is determined to be more than just a meeting-place, however unique, for brands and their clients. Its organiser, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, intends for each day spent at Watches&Wonders to be truly memorable as visitors, from connoisseurs to the simply curious, experience a 360° immersion in Fine Watches.

This year Watches&Wonders goes digital, with its own website as well as a smartphone app that will guide and inform visitors as a complement to the fair's hospitality teams.

Fans of Fine Watchmaking will be able to use this application to follow five themed itineraries. Scanning QR codes along each route will provide them with information on the products and the corresponding brands for each of the chosen themes.
