A wild week for business news from the watch world indeed: After the news that SIHH and Baselworld will be held back to back as of 2020, we now learn that Swatch Group is planning its own Retailer event end of March.
While the news is yet to be officially confirmed, it seems that the Reuters crew has received a first look at an actual invitation showing Swatch Group’s major brands will attend: Breguet, Harry Winston, Blancpain, Jaquet Droz, Glashuette Original and Omega. The leaked invitation was titled “Time To Move”.
So we now have SIHH, Baselworld and Time To Move on the calendar.
Looks like it is retailer only, no press invited either… but what about the retailers pretending to be press? 🙂
Hah 😄 Only time will tell 😉
It must be really “exciting” for the retailers that work with the big groups – no doubt! I’m expecting to see quite some consolidation on that front the next 12-24 months max.
