The World of Watches
Geneva
The global capital of fine watchmaking.
Why Geneva Matters
A City Defined by Watchmaking.
Geneva has been synonymous with haute horlogerie for centuries. Home to Patek Philippe, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and Cartier, the city's Rue du Rhone is among the most important streets in the world for luxury watches. The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH, now Watches & Wonders) draws collectors, press and industry from every continent. Plan-les-Ouates and the surrounding Vallee de Joux form the manufacturing heartland of Swiss watchmaking. For collectors, Geneva is not merely a destination — it is the origin.
