In Conversation with Simon De Burton, Freelance Watch Journalist at Watches and Wonders 2022

The Watches of Switzerland Group 1 minute read

This article is part of our Watches and Wonders 2022 series. We take a look at what some of the most influential people in the world of horology think of this year’s exciting new launches.

We speak with prestigious freelance watch journalist Simon De Burton to learn more about how it feels to be back at a physical watch fair, how pleasing Vacheron Constantin’s faith in the original 222 design is for traditionalists, and what it is about the Patek Phillipe Calatrava Ref. 5226G that has made it one of his stand-out watches of the fair. Plus, we learn what a watch journalist wears on his wrist to such an esteemed event…

Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more watch launches, news and Q&As with influential people within the world of horology. To see more content from the fair, you can visit our dedicated Watches and Wonders 2022 landing page where we will be updating with the timepieces as they launch.
