CHRONOPOLIS - Independent Watch Fair

GENEVA, January 29 2026 — From April 14 to April 18, CHRONOPOLIS brings together 20 independent watch brands in a single shared space, united by common values of independence, authenticity and openness. Conceived on a human scale, the event offers an alternative format where brands are approachable and interaction is encouraged, creating an environment designed for genuine exchange between watchmakers, collectors and visitors.

In a landscape shaped by established formats and rigid codes, CHRONOPOLIS introduces a different rhythm for independent watchmaking. Taking place from April 14 to April 18, 2026, at Les Halles de l’Île, in the very heart of Geneva, this new watch fair brings together independent watch brands in a shared and open space, conceived as a city within the city. Open and free to all, CHRONOPOLIS offers a convivial environment where watches can be touched, experienced and, for those who wish, directly acquired, fostering exchange, proximity and genuine human connection.

Where: Les Halles de l’Île, Geneva (close to Bâtiment des Forces Motrices)

Open and free to all, CHRONOPOLIS places people at the centre of the experience. Collectors, enthusiasts, professionals and curious visitors are invited to discover watchmaking in a relaxed yet carefully crafted environment, where scenography, design and attention to detail mirror the spirit of the brands on display.

CHRONOPOLIS demonstrates that avant-garde creativity and accessibility can coexist. That independent brands can share a space without competition, favouring dialogue over hierarchy. And that a watch fair can be welcoming, immersive and affordable, while remaining demanding in its vision.
