![]() ![]() I had the impression that attendance was way down on last year. IS: I deliberately arrived Monday afternoon Gary to avoid the pack crowds at the entrance Monday morning, and when I got into the halls later in the day I found them relatively quiet. That allowed for many fortuitous meetings with friends from around the world, and the resulting energy made the fair an event to remember. GG: Wow – what a crowd! Getting in on Monday was a nightmare as the show staff seemed unprepared for the sheer volume of attendees and, with the return of Asian enthusiasts this year, and more visitors from other continents celebrating the decline of Covid, the halls seemed packed every day we were there.

It attracted a record 43,000 visitors! That’s nearly double last year’s 22,000 visitors, largely thanks to the opening up of China and Asian countries after the COVID-19 pandemic. Watches and Wonders 2023 ran from Monday, March 27 to Saturday, April 1 at Palexpo in Geneva and was open to the public on the 1 st and 2 nd of April. ![]()
