To celebrate its 24th anniversary, GMT Magazine, a partner of Tatler GMT, is organising an exclusive week-long watchmaking experience for 24 enthusiasts from October 27 to November 1, 2024 in Switzerland. Read on to find out how you can be a part of this unique expedition.

What do Geneva’s Jet d’Eau and Neuhausen’s Rhine Falls have in common? Besides being spectacular Swiss tourist attractions, they are also located in the country where some of the world’s most magnificent watch manufactures reside.

As GMT Magazine celebrates its 24th anniversary this year, it is taking 24 lucky watch enthusiasts on a journey of a lifetime: a six-night, five-day “watch safari” that will include visits to La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, Musée Audemars Piguet, MB&F’s M.A.D.House as well as the manufactures of Hublot, Omega, Zenith, Jaquet Droz, and H. Moser & Cie.

Curated by the founder of GMT Magazine Brice Lechevalier, the first GMT Watch Safari will begin in Geneva before travelling to Vallée de Joux, Jura, Neuchâtel, and Bienne. Participants will get to connect with industry leaders and cutting-edge niche brands, as well as experience exceptional craftsmanship, artistic crafts, and spectacular watches.

This is a rare opportunity to indulge in all things horology for nearly one week at the epicentre of watchmaking. As a partner of Tatler GMT, GMT Magazine is also opening up this experience to our readers and GMT Club members.
