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 share things you usually do not have the opportunity to get close to. I must also praise all the representatives of the various brands for their hospitality and kindness, as they are much nicer than many we have encountered in Basel who represent the major brands. So for us, this trip was really positive and the fact is that I do not want to say that we had time and missed W&W too much. 😂😂
The Geneva 2022 report (pic heavy)
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. 😂😂😂
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).
Thanks Jocke for a superb and enjoyable pictorial report!!
Glad I could recognize at least a couple of names among those Indies! Ehm, always great to see the nice technical expressions of some of these Indies!!😁 😄 Cheers my friend.
Thank God this isn't 1998...
...my modem would catch on fire and burn down my house ; ) But seriously...great report as always...
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?
Superb report
Probably one of the best I have read this year; packed with fun. You know how to put an article together.
thanks for that fantastic report
not only did I see many watches I did not know but even many brands! I really appreciate the considerable effort that went into this. Best Andreas
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!...

Jocke, close to overload with the expensive report. Can you tell..
Me more about the DIY watch assembly kit?
Wow!
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!!
