The paucity of ultra-complicated watches that defy the imagination, and even break the mind, will be noted as a defining characteristic of Watches and Wonders Geneva 2023.

As Watches and Wonders Geneva lurched forward to its inevitable conclusion, it is time for some initial observations and thoughts. We are writing this as the public days at the fair unfold, and we think that those expecting watershed moments will be disappointed. That is of course unless you are thinking about Rolex because it certainly feels like this is the Geneva brand?s year. The Perpetual 1908 is easily the best-received watch of the fair, and we have still not encountered even one dissenting voice. Of course, every year has hints of a certain shade of green ? Geneva green if you will ? but it is more of a drawn-out magic hour this time (think La Rayon Vert and feel the warm afterglow). Okay, nostalgia for Nouvelle Vague cinema aside, but staying with green, the colour continues to wash over the dials, cases and straps of watch brands, with no new colour emerging as a challenger. Oris leads the pack with a fun ProPilot X in Kermit green. This one is literally Kermit-themed, with the world?s favourite muppet on the dial, discreetly. Take a look here and spot the little guy.
