Watch Collecting Lifestyle features the most in-depth live coverage of the now-defunct Baselworld, Watches & Wonders Geneva—formerly the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie Genève—, Salon QP, and the SIAR Mexico—Salón Internacional de Alta Relojería.
We only publish objective, hands-on reviews with real-life photography.
All the luxury goods that we pair with the timepieces we feature are carefully curated and owned by WCL Media LLC.
