Baselworld, main appointment for jewelery and watchmaking, is already talking about himself. The important event (17-24 March) is ready to accommodate 150 000 participants and 4,000 journalists (including, of course, the envoys of gioiellis.com). Meanwhile, the Fair anticipates some elements. Let’s take note. “At Baselworld are continually presented innovations that capture the interest of our customers,” says Greg Simonian, president of the American Westime (company watchmaking). “From the first day of Baselworld often get messages from my clients who ask me to reserve them one or the other innovations that have identified at the time of its launch through the press or social media”. Baselworld is also a meeting point for traders of diamonds, pearls or precious stones sellers. In all there will be over 1500 exhibitors from 40 countries, with a stand spread over an area of about 141,000 square meters. In short, a style show. To also emphasize the economic importance of the event, the inauguration is entrusted to a Swiss Federal Councillor. This year the task will be up to Simonetta Sommaruga, head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police, which will officially open Baselworld Thursday, March 17, 2016. As they say in Usa, stay tuned: are coming many new jewelry. Monica Battistoni
