The watch industry is embracing sustainability, with brands like Hublot, Ulysse Nardin, and MB&F pioneering the use of eco-friendly materials like cactus leather, recycled carbon fiber, and vegetal rubber. This shift towards sustainable luxury is driven by the need to reduce environmental impact and appeal to a younger, conscious generation. The introduction of a new ‘eco-innovation’ award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) reflects the growing importance of sustainable practices in the watchmaking world.

Geneva Watch Days 2024, held from August 29th to September 2nd, featured over 50 luxury watch brands unveiling their latest creations and innovations. The event showcased the artistry and technical prowess of the watchmaking industry, offering a glimpse into the future of timekeeping.

The Geneva Watch Days event saw a surge in women’s watchmaking, with brands recognizing the untapped potential of this market. While some brands are creating watches specifically for women, others maintain a gender-neutral approach, focusing on passion and functionality. The growing interest in women’s watches is fueled by their increasing financial independence and desire for pieces designed with them in mind.
