Without doubt the event of the year, Watches & Wonders W offered virtual visitors a chance to see Cartier rub elbows with Rolex, Vacheron Constantin cross the stage behind Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre brush up against TAG Heuer, Louis Vuitton trade nods with Piaget, and Bvlgari share the limelight with Purnell.
