Watches & Wonders has opened in Hainan and Haikou

Watches and Wonders takes up residence for three months on the island of Hainan, at the cdf Mall in Sanya and, for the first time, at the newly opened cdf Mall in Haikou.

Thirteen watchmaking Maisons are taking part in this event where the public is able to discover the latest collections as well as a specially curated and unique watchmaking exhibition.

Watches and Wonders Hainan, which runs until 28 February 2023, aims to create a timeless interlude enabling a truly immersive experience. It involves three months of exhibitions and encounters, spanning two calendar years, with the Chinese New Year Festivities on 22 January 2023 serving as the high point.

The 13 participating Maisons – A. Lange & Söhne, Baume & Mercier, Cartier, Hermès, Girard-Perregaux, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Montblanc, Officine Panerai, Piaget, Roger Dubuis, Ulysse Nardin and Vacheron Constantin – are unveiling their watch collections in the two malls, providing a unique opportunity for the general public to discover exceptional timepieces.

Thanks to its original format of one event, featuring destinations and three months of exhibition, Watches and Wonders Hainan delivers a panoramic view of watchmaking history, its complications and its most spectacular designs.

The new cdf Mall in Haikou is the stage for a unique event combining the boutiques of the exhibiting Maisons with a cultural exhibition which is held in an exclusive dedicated 800 sqm area. A truly interactive and immersive village in four parts has been entirely created for the occasion. It includes an exhibition retracing the history of watchmaking from its earliest origins to today, an educational area to learn about the most famous complications, a practical workshop supervised by a trainer and finally, the digital Time Design exhibition focusing on the development of the wristwatch over successive eras
