Geneva Watch Days 2025: All the highlights from Geneva, part 2 - Titanium ticker on the rise

Alpina, ArtyA, Bianchet, Bimbu, De Bethune, Bovet, Louis Moinet, MB&F, Speake Marin, Tutima, Unimatic x Massena LAB

We had a look around the Geneva Watch Days, braving rain, thunderstorms and heat, but also enjoying the bright sunshine and late summer atmosphere. At least always on the walkways between the numerous exhibition locations in Geneva, which makes this watch event something very special.

But it wasn't just the pedometer on our smartphones or smartwatches that demonstrated our active movement through the world of beautiful timepieces during our visit to the Geneva Watch Days. This overview of the highlights from Geneva is also a reflection of how we move through the latest innovations from watchmakers. And the range is wide - we promise.

Part 2: Titanium – the chemical element with atomic number 22 conquers the world of luxury watches

Titanium has actually been used as a material for watch cases and bracelets for a very long time. The complex processing required is more than offset by its many excellent properties: The chemical element with atomic number 22 has a white metallic sheen, a low density, is ductile, corrosion- and temperature-resistant, non-magnetic, and hypoallergenic. In recent years, it has also found its way into the luxury watch sector.

Part 1 - Precious stones on precious watches

Part 5 - Ready to dive

Part 6 - Grand complications for exclusive watches
