Baselworld 2018: what we learned from it!

Baselworld 2018, the unmissable trade fair

For almost 100 years, Baselworld has gradually established itself in the sector as an essential trade fair. Every year, professionals in the sector, major brands, resellers and enthusiasts meet there. This is an opportunity for them to discuss clockwork mechanisms and complications that catch their attention. This year we were at Baselworld 2018. This year, part of the show was also dedicated to precious stones. They are sold in batches, individually or displayed on sublime ornaments. Resellers come to find rare pearls for their original jewelry creations. Some stands also sell old jewelry in excellent condition!

Exhibitors and major players present

Although the show has lost exhibition space, we can still find the emblematic brands that have made the history of watchmaking (Patek Philippe, Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer...). The big jewelers are not left out since Chanel, De Grisogono and Bulgari have impressive stands. There really is something for everyone. More affordable brands like Tissot, Frédérique Constant or Hamilton are also present. Frédérique Constant even offers to try her connected watch model using virtual reality. Big news at this show! The more “fancy” brands are also represented with a very large stand for Swarovski and many other stands from the Swatch group. Obviously, since it's November, we already know the dates for Baselworld 2019. The show will be held from March 20 to 26, 2019, still in Basel! This upcoming edition still promises many surprises and many changes. To be continued, but there is no doubt that you will be able to see us there! If you will be there too, do not hesitate to let us know and we will be delighted to meet you!
