SIHH and Geneva 2010
By Su Jia Xian
January 2010
I present my report on the watches presented at SIHH and in Geneva in January 2010.
This year’s fair was excellent for two main reasons. One being the exceptional range of products and the other being the upbeat sentiment amongst participants. Though Richemont, which dominates runs SIHH, is still cautious, with CEO Johann Rupert making prudent statements, brands appear to be optimistic, judging by their new launches. Stronger brands especially, those with money and high brand equity, are aggressively pushing ahead.
This report comprises 756 photos and 14,773 words – it was a pain to complete but I enjoyed it and I trust you will do. It covers 17 brands, including three that exhibit outside of SIHH. Compared to my 2009 report it is longer and larger, and I also hope better as well I hope (click here for my 2009 report).
Majority of new watches launched are included but I did miss out on a handful. However, I believe all the important new products are included.
The brands covered are:
A. Lange & Söhne
Audemars Piguet
Cartier
De Bethune
Franck Muller
Girard-Perregaux
Greubel Forsey
IWC
Jaeger-LeCoultre
MB&F
Montblanc
Panerai
Piaget
Richard Mille
Roger Dubuis
Vacheron Constantin
Van Cleef & Arpels
All photos and text are mine, and plenty of the content is opinion. Questions and comments can be emailed to me at SJX (at) PuristSPro.com (remove spaces).
Enjoy,
