Who we are ?
Created in September 2022 on the initiative of Rolex, Richemont and Patek Philippe, the Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation (WWGF) is a non-profit foundation based in Geneva.
In 2024, three new comers, Chanel, Hermès and LVMH join the founding members of the WWGF Foundation Board.
WWGF is managed by a Foundation Board, with Cyrille Vigneron serving as Chairman and Claude Peny as Vice-Chairman. Along with the founding members, they define the major strategic areas of this ambitious project.
The Exhibiting Committee, made up of representatives from the participating Maisons takes all the decisions to ensure the exhibition runs smoothly.
Matthieu Humair, current CEO of the WWGF, heads up a team of nearly 30 people to bring this major project to fruition.
