Capping off the fair with three new impressive timepieces that push the boundaries of horology.
After the Kodo Constant Force Tourbillon, @grandseikoofficial's first mechanical complication, won the Chronometry Prize at the GPHG in 2022, it has returned this year in ‘daylight’ form.
Created alongside fashion designer @yiqingyin, @vacheronconstantin's Égérie – The Pleats of Time concept watch converges high watchmaking, haute couture and perfumery. Its embroidered strap with mother-of-pearl shards encapsulates an original fragrance by @dominiqueropionparfumeur.
The @piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon is just 2mm, the same thinness as the original record-setting Altiplano from 2018, but the brand has managed to add a tourbillon.

@watchesandwonders is never short of surprises.
Inspired by nature in motion, the @vancleefarpels Apparition des Baies automaton features a white-gold, diamond and sapphire bird emerging from 112 overlapping lacquered leaves.
@iwcwatches takes precision to a whole new level with the Portugieser Perpetual Eternal Calendar. Its moon phase display has an accuracy of 45 million years.
Thai actor and Southeast Asian Friend of the Brand @apo555 meets up with president Yves Gérald Piaget and CEO Benjamin Comar at the @piaget booth.

A quick look at some of the most technical timepieces at the fair and how brands continue to create inspiring experiences after closing time:
The new generation of @patekphilippe's World Time is distinguished by a patented world first: a system that mechanically couples the date display with local time — advancing forwards or backwards — without the need for correction.
@jaegerlecoultre's first three-axis tourbillon is a sight for sore eyes. Inspired by the maison's savonette pocket watches from the 19th century, the Duometre Heliotourbillon is operated by two barrels and their sets of gear trains to supply sufficient energy for flawless accuracy.
This week, @hermes is taking over Restaurant de la Plage on the shores of Lake Geneva to present an imaginative Shapes of Time dinner celebrating their newly released Cut collection.
#watchesandwonders2024
Starting off our daily highlights with three memorable timepieces:
A three-axis tourbillon sits at the heart of the @hermes Arceau Duc Attelé while a minute repeater emits clear tones reminiscent of ringing church bells using horse-shaped hammers.
@cartier has long been a lover of illusions. The Reflection de Cartier is accented with a timepiece on one tip and mirror on the other, so the hour of the day can be viewed either way when you wear it.
Ask and you shall receive. @tudorwatch has delivered a brand-new Black Bay 58 with a red and black 24-hour GMT bezel. Highly wearable at 39mm, the timepiece is also Master Chronometer-certified.
