Thank you!

The gates are closed, but the spirit remains.

     For a few days, CHRONOPOLIS became real, a place shaped by watches, encounters, energy and community in the heart of Geneva.

Now that this first edition has come to an end, we want to thank everyone who came and made it what it was: brands, partners, media, retailers, collectors, enthusiasts, curious visitors, Geneva locals, and a few dogs too. 

Don’t worry, the gates of CHRONOPOLIS have only closed temporarily, and we can’t wait to open them again.
