The annual trade show, renowned for its display of Switzerland’s finest timepieces, offered a glimpse into the latest trends in haute horology and personal style.
For the third consecutive year, we stationed ourselves in the aptly named Rolex Square to ask attendees a simple yet revealing question: What watch are you wearing, and why? Their responses—along with insights on standout pieces from the fair—paint a vivid picture of this year’s event.

Perri Dash (WristCheck Podcast)
