Chronopolis: Post-Event

For a few days, in the heart of Geneva, CHRONOPOLIS opened its gates for the first time, a place shaped by watches, conversations, encounters, shared drinks, curious visitors, Geneva locals, media, retailers, collectors, enthusiasts, and even a few dogs.

Now that this first edition has come to an end, thank you to everyone who made it more than we had imagined. The response exceeded our expectations and confirmed what we had hoped from the start: that CHRONOPOLIS could become an open, lively and human home for many during watch week, something the energy and success of the CHRONOPOLIS Party made all the more evident.

A proper moment for independent watchmaking to connect, share and exist collectively." - Simo Tber, Jacques Bianchi Marseille.

We hope this marks the beginning of a great new tradition for independent watchmaking." - Guillaume Laidet, Nivada Grenchen

Amazing... very easy-going format yet very close to the people, fun, great location, you did great!" - Andrea Casalegno, @iamcasa

Chronopolis already feels like the watch event in Geneva we didn't know we needed so badly." - Tim Vaux, Contributing editor, Hodinkee & British GQ.

The gates of CHRONOPOLIS may now be closed, but only temporarily.
