Bourse horlogère de Genève: the Geneva watch fair’s 26th edition

Lovers of vintage watches, collectors and devotees of fine mechanics, mark your calendars! This Sunday, 8 November 2026, the Bourse horlogère de Genève (Geneva watch fair) returns for its 26th edition. It is an event not to be missed for anyone who enjoys hunting for finds, making discoveries and sharing a passion for watchmaking.

The joy of treasure hunting in the heart of Geneva

There is something particularly exciting about a watch fair: the pleasure of rummaging, of stumbling on an unexpected piece, of recognising a forgotten calibre, or simply of chatting with fellow enthusiasts.

Organised by the Société Genevoise des Amateurs d’Horlogerie (SGAH), this 26th edition will be held at iceBergues, right in the heart of Geneva, alongside the major international auctions. On the programme: vintage and contemporary watches, clocks, spare parts, watchmaking tools, accessories, jewellery, specialist literature and, who knows, a few pleasant surprises!

A fair built on expertise

Behind the event is Carmelo Armeli, a well-known figure in the Geneva watch world. A Rolex employee for 31 years and a specialist in authenticating vintage watches, he has for years nurtured the spirit of sharing and passing on knowledge that gives these gatherings their charm. Appraisals will also be available on site.

Whether you are a seasoned collector, a vintage enthusiast or simply curious, this fair is a fine opportunity to reconnect with watchmaking that is authentic, accessible and convivial. And who knows? The next watch to set your heart racing may be waiting for you on one of the stands!
