Industry Relevance
Baselworld has two things working in its favor – legacy and a strong outlook on the future of the watch and jewellery industry. The first comes from the fact that the trade show dates back to 1973. Since then it’s been held on an annual basis at Messe Basel. During these decades, it has come to diversify its product categories to include jewellery, silverware, watches, clocks, special occasion party options, gifts, pearls and precious stones. Additional value for exhibitors comes from the inviting atmosphere that facilitates healthy networking. Baselworld is invested in change and programming is going to feature special physical spaces like Les Atéliers, The Loop and the Show Plaza to better showcase innovations in the sectors through technology.
