AFTER THE COVID-19 pandemic made the world come to a standstill and turned every event into a digital one for almost two years, it was time to welcome the phydigital edition of Watches & Wonders, Geneva, Switzerland. Horology's biggest event saw watchmakers bring their A-game, apart from attendance by South African-born Swiss explorer Mike Horn, seven-time F1 championship winner Lewis Hamilton, and Oscar-winning music composer Hans Zimmer. Inspite of this, it was the watches that stole the spotlight. Here are the timepieces that stood out for their craftsmanship, innovation, and technical excellence.
