Geneva Watch Days 2025: All the highlights from Geneva, part 3 - Insight and perspective with skeleton watches
ArtyA, Bianchet, Bovet, Favre Leuba, MB&F
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 3: Skeletons for revealing insights and views
The watch industry - especially the Swiss - likes to be secretive. Information about production volumes and who produces what for whom is often kept to themselves. Transparency is shown in other ways. Skeletonisations can be seen everywhere - or through them.
