There were some interesting new models, for example Bulova\u2019s CURV curved chronograph and Movado\u2019s Edge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">About 2.3% more journalists attended representing 4,400 people from the press.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/640px-Messe_Basel1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2806 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/640px-Messe_Basel1.jpg\" alt=\"640px-Messe_Basel\" width=\"367\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/640px-Messe_Basel1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/640px-Messe_Basel1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As a whole 1,500 participants demonstrated their wares.<\/p>\n<p>Willie Hamilton, chief executive of the CMJ, added: \u201cBaselworld is the centre of the universe for eight days, because it\u2019s where everybody from the watch and jewellery industry comes together on a positive note. It gives us a flavour of what\u2019s ahead of us as all the brands are launching new products, and it\u2019s also great to see the emerging brands which will be with us for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other highlights include Inter City Group and its very own in-house women\u2019s fashion brand, Daisy Dixon. Interchangeable straps will also remain popular.<\/p>\n<p>Although some mid-level priced brands appeared keen to reposition themselves entirely, others lowered the price scale, offering great value to the consumer. The intention is obvious, watches made to sell through fast at an attractive price point. This will also help undermine the marketplace problems that have result in a booming gray market.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B6djnznskmo\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B6djnznskmo<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baselworld 2016 Baselworld 2016 is coming to a close and more than 145,000 attended the world\u2019s greatest watch show from about 100 nations.
