Baselworld 2010

The preparations of the 2010 edition of the Baselworld watches & jewellery show already started. All the hotels in Basel are fully booked in the period 18 to 25 march. Does the crisis affect this edition of the fair or is everybody hearing positive noises and directly buying a lot of new jewellery and nice timepieces. We will hear it after 25 March. For now we have a sneakpeek from Corum for the 2010 collection.

First of all the Corum Admiral's Cup 50th Anniversary Minute Repeater Tourbillon. Its an 45 mm Case in 18 kt. red gold. Corum used a new caliber in this watch, the CO 010. The development of this caliber took two years. It has an magnificent 72 hour power reserve. The model is very recognizalbe because of the twelf-sided bezel (Corum, 2009).

I am also curious about the new Zenith collection. This is the first fully prepared Baselyear for the new CEO of Zenith Jean-Frédéric Dufour. And we all can't deny that he is a different person compared to Thierry Nataf. And is Breitling coming with new models included with the new B01 Manufactured movement? We will see. The next post will be very special. We are going to talk about the specially by Zenith designed material Zenithium.
