Summary

It's Wednesday, which means it's another episode of Hodinkee Radio, and this week, it's a big one: We're kicking off our Watches & Wonders coverage! On April 9, Watches & Wonders begins in Switzerland. I'll be heading to Geneva with a bunch of my colleagues to attend the annual trade show, now the biggest for the Swiss watch industry. Alongside the big show are a number of other shows scattered throughout Geneva – in all, more than 150 brands will be exhibiting in the city. It's one of the few weeks each year where much of the industry descends onto one town. Last year was my first show, and I can't wait to get back for another one. I'm not the only one who's excited, so I've got Ben, Danny, and James on mic to talk about Watches & Wonders - what to expect from the show, from specific brands (Rolex, Tudor, and Patek), and more before we all hop on flights to Geneva. Also, this is your heads up to make sure you're subscribed to Hodinkee Radio, as we'll have daily episodes from Geneva April 9–12. Each day, we'll recap the biggest releases from Rolex, Tudor, Patek, and all 54 brands presenting at Watches & Wonders, as well as the dozens of other brands we'll be visiting in Geneva.
