0 0 Sunday, 15 January 2017 Edit this post

Commencing tomorrow, the 27th edition of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie - taking place at Geneva’s Palexpo on 16 - 20 January 2017 - is set to open more doors than ever before: to new exhibitors and, for the first time, to the public.

A landmark event for the luxury watches sector, the Salon has never had so many exhibitors. In fact, a total of 30 brands will showcase their designs under one roof.

The 2017 edition marks the return of Girard-Perregaux to the SIHH after a few years at Baselworld, and the addition of first-time exhibitor Ulysse Nardin. These two brands bring the number of historic Maisons exhibiting at the SIHH to 17.

Introduced in 2016, the “Carré des Horlogers”, a showcase for the future of watchmaking as represented by artisan-creators and independent workshops, will see the addition of five brands - Grönefeld, MCT, Ressence, RJ-Romain Jerome, and Speake-Marin - for a total of 13.

And while the SIHH remains an industry event for guests of the exhibiting brands, mainly partners, dealers, press and major collectors of the brands, for the first time in its history the final day of the Salon will be open to the public.

Potential visitors will need to purchase a ticket priced Swiss Francs 70 and pre-register for the event on the SIHH website.
