How the trip works
At Geneva Airport (LSGG). The show is held at Palexpo, about 10 minutes on foot from the airport's railway station. Business flights need prior permission (PPR) from Genève Aéroport, which can be booked from five days before the flight.
Watches and Wonders 2026 drew nearly 60,000 unique visitors, up 9%, including 6,000 retailers and 1,750 journalists, and sold 25,000 tickets over its three public days. The 2027 show adds Breitling, Gallet, Universal Genève and Damiani to the exhibitors.
The first days are invitation-only for the trade; the Friday to Sunday public days are ticketed. A programme of events also runs in the city centre through the week, which drew more than 10,000 people in 2026.
Geneva's business aviation terminal has its own customs and immigration, but parking there is limited, so we confirm the stand when we book the PPR. See our Geneva page for routes and estimates.
