Baselworld 2015 Preview

 
 
Combine CIS, Oktoberfest, and fashion week for major watch brands and aficionados, out comes BaselWorld - the apex of the year for the watch industry. This year’s show runs from March 19 - 26 with around 1,500 brand exhibitions and attracting more than 150,000 attendees.

Here’s some of the anticipated trends being displayed this week:

Reinterpreted Timepieces - Take for example, Chopard - presenting the new L.U.C Regulator which is a reinterpretation of one of Chopard’s classic models.

Ladies Watches - Since BaselWorld also features many jewelry exhibitions, there will be some serious pieces for the ladies. Like this one of a kind bracelet/watch made with 152.96 carats of Graff’s finest white diamonds. ‘The Fascination’ is one of the most expensive three-in-one jewels ever created, valued at $40 million.

Wearables - Apple isn’t the only brand in the ‘smartwatch’ arena, plenty of watch brands are also looking to incorporate new technology into their designs - including Tissot. While Tissot’s new timepiece doesn’t offer an option to phone a friend, it does offer just about everything else.
