Baselworld has brought people together for many years, celebrating jewellery makers all over the world, in the home of luxury, Basel. Traditionally Baselworld was a ceremony to show off luxury timepieces that were due to be released, however in recent years Baselworld has seen an increase in smart watches over the years.
The watch world comes together to celebrate years of tradition and history, showing off their latest release in the timepiece world. It is also an opportunity to showcase incredibly rare watches, with the chance to delve deeper into each individual technological advancement. Baselworld 2016 saw more smart watches than there have ever been in the previous years and it is estimated to increase in the incoming years.
Top brands always show off their dominance in the watch market, producing dazzling timepieces and seamless collaborations with brands. However, there were a few surprises in this years Baselworld that captured the attention of the audience. With Baselworld representing the true wearable value of a watch, timepiece brands such as Bulgari, Chanel and Jacob & Co all showed off impressive debuts. These watches used innovation, creativity and technical brilliance to go against established brands that have been an ever present in Baselworld.
No matter how far timepieces go down the ‘smart watch’ track, Baselworld will always be an appreciation of the true dedication required in order to produce such watches. All the magic of Baselworld is not based around the need to consistently reel out the ‘next big thing’, but to appreciate the beauty of each and every timepiece becoming available.
