2002 – BASEL And The SIHH: New Dates
Executives of Messe Basel and the Luxury Watchmaking International Committee (CIHH) have agreed to synchronize the dates of their events scheduled for the year 2002. The next edition of the World Watchmaking and Jewellery Fair will take place in Basel from 4 to 11 April, while the International Luxury Watchmaking Fair (SIHH) will be held from 8 to 15 April. Messe Basel and the SIHH took this decision for the benefit of their exhibitors and international visitors.
This year, the BASEL World Watchmaking and Jewellery Fair and the Geneva International Luxury Watchmaking Fair (SIHH) were once again remarkably successful in consolidating their position as world watchmaking events leaders. Exhibitors shared great satisfaction with their participation in the respective fairs. However, they also expressed anxiety over next year’s calendar. BASEL had set a date in March and the SIHH in January.
The management of the two events will do everything they can to promptly implement a global and long-lasting solution for the coordination of exhibition dates in years to come.
