La bataille des salons horlogers ne fait que commencer

Prendre des parts de marché aux grands concurrents, c’est bien, mais occuper le devant de la scène, c’est encore mieux. Lassé de payer au prix fort leur participation à Watches & Wonders, le plus grand salon horloger au monde, et de suivre les ordres de son chef d’orchestre Richemont, un groupe d’horlogers indépendants soutenu par Bulgari et Breitling a créé son propre événement. Les Geneva Watch Days (GWD), dont la troisième édition se tiendra du 29 août au 1er septembre, est un salon plus ouvert que Watches & Wonders (W&W) et plus détendu, disent les observateurs. Année après année, il gagne en popularité et en notoriété.
