CORNAVIN DURING WATCHES AND WONDERS 2026

Every spring, the global watch industry turns its attention to Geneva, widely regarded as the capital of Swiss watchmaking.

Set against the shimmering backdrop of Lake Geneva, the Beau-Rivage event during Watches and Wonders was an unforgettable experience. Cornavin participated with the Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavillon (SIWP) and spent the week in Geneva to welcome new potential partners.

Hosted at the historic Beau-Rivage Genève, the gathering felt less like an exhibition and more like an intimate salon — where conversation flowed and new connections were made

What made the Beau-Rivage event particularly engaging was its balance of exclusivity and warmth. It provided a space to step away from the intensity of the main fair and reconnect with the artistry behind watchmaking.

Managing Director Omar Najari said: "Against the  panoramic views of the lake and the Alps, this event provided the perfect setting to present the latest Cornavin collections to new potential partners from across the globe."

With many new and exciting projects planned, Cornavin will surely be back in Geneva for Watches and Wonders 2027.

Cornavin has been part of Swiss watchmaking history since its foundation in 1922. The brand was founded in Geneva and was named after the city’s central district.

Each April, Geneva hosts some of the most important watch events in the world. From major industry gatherings like Watches and Wonders Geneva to smaller independent showcases throughout the city’s hotels and venues, the week offers a rare opportunity to see the future of watchmaking unveiled. For independent Swiss brands such as Cornavin, these events provide a unique platform to connect directly with collectors, retailers, and the global watch community.
