What do Geneva’s Jet d’Eau and Neuhausen’s Rhine Falls have in common? These two spectacular tourist attractions have seen the establishment of magnificent manufactures within their perimeters. To link one to the other, participants in the 1st GMT Watch Safari will discover other sumptuous, typically Swiss landscapes: VallĂ©e de Joux, Jura and the surroundings of lakes NeuchĂątel and Biel for 5 days dedicated to watch enthusiasts. A completely new program from Geneva, tailor-made by the founder of GMT magazine. Readers from all over the world are given access to the jewels of the watchmaking world, from world leaders to cutting-edge niche brands. Exceptional craftsmanship, haute horlogerie, marvellous watches and fine craftsmanship will punctuate this week full of surprises in a convivial atmosphere. Two members of the editorial team will accompany participants from Sunday to Friday, including one for photos and videos. An unforgettable experience!
