Already at the start of the Salon, one thing was obvious: a crisis was brewing, but it did not really have a name. Was it the recent decision be the Swiss National Bank to uncap the franc's exchange rate? No, the crisis was elsewhere….

The 25th Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie has ended on a positive note. Despite turbulence linked to the external value of the Swiss franc, and tension in certain markets, the exhibiting Maisons were highly satisfied with this quarter-century edition. Visitors were once again able to appreciate the full measure of their skills, both mechanical and artistic.

Steve Jobs was right. Power point presentations should be banned. I am always amazed how boring a presentation can be.

The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie is celebrating its quartercentury. This longevity confirms choices made in 1991, when exhibitors took the decision to stage an exclusive fair, reserved for watchmaking professionals. This anniversary edition gets the 2015 horological year off to a spectacular start, when it opens on Monday January 19th at Palexpo in Geneva.

PANERAI is faithful to its well-organized strategy of precise evolution. In January, the brand will introduce its self-winding flyback chronograph housed in a new ceramic case.

The Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum encourages travel and brings the seducing world of Haute Horlogerie closer to us by making it more accessible.
