SIHH 2012 opening today 16 january

As is now traditional, the SIHH 2012 will host an exceptional exhibition. After the Beyer Zurich clock and watch museum last year, the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire de Genève loans pieces from its collections of horology and enamel. Whereas past exhibitions have focused on pocket watches and wristwatches, this year’s exhibition is devoted to clocks, with works from the Renaissance to the early 20th century.

It will coincide with the exhibition at the Musée Rath, entitled “Watchmaking in Geneva. The Magic of Craftsmanship, Treasures of Gold and Enamel.”

This 22nd SIHH comes at the end of an eventful year during which sales of fine watches reached record levels. Technical and precious watchmaking continues to combine tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and leading-edge technologies, and would never miss this opportunity to seduce its public.
