The Geneva 2022 report (pic heavy)

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : April 9th, 2022-20:15
After 3 years of waiting, it's finally time. After 20 years of visiting Baselworld, which is now closed, it is off to Geneva for the first time in beautiful weather. Unfortunately, W&W is only for industry people and strictly invited guests and we have to...  

Yes that is the backside, we live in Germany long way from Basel before but the last year we try to live close the fair.

Of course it is more expensive and this year we have feed Uber a lot. But as they say when we have missed 2 fairs and then we must have a lot of money on ours accounts. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Magnificent report!

I certainly hugely appreciate you taking the time to share this here with us . The Doppelganger watch looks highly intriguing, and I personally love the case design! It is a complete novelty to me. Cheers, Filip

Thanks Jocke. So much we don’t see before, and others we don’t see often.

Appreciate the post. I seem to remember some similar posts, including documentation of the road trip to Switzerland, over the years. Some, I’m sure, going back to the mid 2000s (posted elsewhere).

Lots of nice things! My favorite is the UFO clock!

Best report ever!

Thank you my friend for sharing all this content with us, it is shocking when you realize how much the mainstream press only covers a handful of makers when there is so much originality and creativity out there!

Excellent photos.

Love these watches and clocks. Particularly take with the simple looking 'night sky dial' watch (after Gloria which also looks good) which brand / maker is that please?

That one is a Gloria too.

Probably one of the best I have read this year; packed with fun. You know how to put an article together.

Thanks for this great report!

I certainly did discover a few brands that I was not aware of. The Schwartz Etienne watches are really to my taste!

Holy cow, thank you so much for sharing this Jocke!

I’m quite surprised by the multiple second display of Pierre de Roche, a new brand to me. The dials of Louis Erard were also really cool, the geometric cubes being my favourite. What a display of new and cool brands, thank you for sharing your experience!... 

THANK YOU ALL for the kind words

It is always fun to deliver when it is appreciated. We have learned over the years that these small independent brands are liked the most and for us it is more interesting to meet the real people behind the works. It is more interesting to be able to shar... 

Jocke, close to overload with the expensive report. Can you tell..

Me more about the DIY watch assembly kit?

You have a PM.

Thank you for this incredibly expansive post! I am particularly smitten by that Voutilainen, specifically, the one with the triple stepped lugs. I have never seen those before, and I have to say, they are absolutely wonderful! Also, I have never see the v... 

Jocke, thank you for this mouth-watering post!

The watches are really nice. The food, though, steals the show!!
