It is that time of year again, when the most prestigious watch manufacturers from around the world gather to show off their latest designs.
2nd April sees Baselworld Watch and Jewellery Fair open in the Swiss city of Basel. From here, famous names in the world of horology such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Breilting, TAG Heuer, Omega and dozens of others set trends and define what the public will be wearing on their wrists for years to come.
As usual, rumours are abound of innovative new designs from Rolex and TAG Heuer in particular. TAG Heuer will probably extend their hugely successful Grand Carrera line which was launched late last year. Breitling too seem to have a lot of new products due for launch in 2008, with a new ladies watch, high on the agenda.
From Basel, buyers like myself will head to Geneva for the S.I.H.H. where brands such as Cartier, Panerai, Audemars Piquet and IWC exhibit. Geneva is far more relaxed in comparison to the madness of Basel. It is also a lot easier to get a hotel room as well!!!
All in all, it means that April is a very busy month but you can be sure that I will be posting as much information as possible on this site as soon as I get it.
