Inside Basel.Geneva 2012 – Germany

After being very successful in the United States for quite some years, the IBG 2012 will be held for the first time in Germany. Germany’s most renowned watch journalist, Gisbert L. Brunner, will present to you the SIHH and BaselWorld novelties of 2012.

The SIHH is only accessible for journalists and those working in the watch industry and most of the watches in BaselWorld are in displays behind windows for non-press and industry people.
