In Conversation With Desmond Tan

DESMOND — YOUR MAIDEN TRIP TO WATCHES & WONDERS GENEVA, TOGETHER WITH ZENITH — IS A CULMINATION OF ADVENTURES AND EXPERIENCES SINCE YOU JOINED THE ZENITH FAMILY IN FEBRUARY 2022. HOW WERE YOU FEELING DURING THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS TRIP?

I was filled with excitement and anticipation as my first trip to Watches & Wonders Geneva with Zenith approached. I was eager to embark on a trip I’ve been looking forward to since joining the Zenith family. I’m most honoured and deeply appreciative of this invite from my Zenith family.

NOW THAT YOU’RE IN GENEVA, WAS THIS EXPERIENCE HOW YOU IMAGINED IT TO BE?

Being in Geneva with Zenith far surpassed my expectations. It was an enriching and unforgettable experience as I immersed myself in the world of horology surrounded by passionate individuals. It’s a rare opportunity to visit the epicentre of the watchmaking world, as well as to visit the heart of Zenith’s history.
