Watch&Match
Watch&Match is the only watchmaking pop-up event in Switzerland, held in the heart of Balexert — the largest shopping centre in French-speaking Switzerland. It is built to close the distance between the public and the trade: you meet the designers themselves, see their latest creations, and can compare and buy on the spot, in a deliberately festive and relaxed setting.
The 2026 edition runs from Wednesday 30 September to Saturday 3 October at Centre Commercial Balexert, Avenue Louis-Casaï 27, 1209 Vernier. The opening day is given over to activities for children; the following three days bring watch brands, pre-owned watches, exhibitions and events.
Beyond the stands, the show puts the craft itself on display. Free introductory workshops run in partnership with Initium sit visitors at a watchmaker’s bench to dismantle and reassemble parts of a mechanical movement under supervision, while specialists in watch repair and restoration give live demonstrations at their workbenches.
