The trend of smaller watches, dubbed 'grandma watches', is gaining popularity among Gen Z, particularly women in their 20s and 30s. This shift is driven by the versatility and vintage appeal of these timepieces, as celebrities like Timothée Chalamet and Serena Williams are seen sporting them. Major brands like Rolex and Cartier are responding by introducing smaller models, catering to a growing demand for stylish, stackable watches that blend with existing jewelry. The trend reflects a broader movement towards private luxury and personal style, with younger consumers embracing these once-outdated designs.

The Geneva watch fair, a key event for the luxury watch sector, opened amid challenges posed by the Middle East war. Despite expectations of 60,000 visitors, the conflict raises concerns about travel from Gulf states and East Asia. Analysts predict weak growth in Swiss watch exports, previously forecasted to rebound by 2026. The fair, which showcases major brands like Rolex and Cartier, aims to attract younger buyers and has seen a rise in exhibitors since the pandemic. The watchmaking sector, Switzerland's third-largest export, faces ongoing difficulties from tariffs and reduced demand in China.
