Geneva Watch Days 2025: All the highlights from Geneva, part 4 - precious metal shimmer for luxurious watches
Beauregard, Krayon, Laurent Ferrier, Renaud Tixier
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 4 : Precious metal for fine watches
Platinum, which is difficult to process, and gold, which is highly expensive, are not only rare in the earth's crust, but also in the minority in the watch world. Their attractive properties and appearance are therefore always used in very special creations.
