In order to understand Luxury Watches we must also look into Luxury Goods
Certain manufactured products attain the status of “luxury goods” due to their design, quality, durability or performance that are remarkably superior to the comparable substitutes. Thus, virtually every category of goods available on the market today includes a subset of similar products whose “luxury” is marked by better-quality components and materials, solid construction, stylish appearance, increased durability, better performance, advanced features and so on. As such, these luxury goods retain or improve the basic functionality for which all items of a given category are originally designed.
There are also goods that are perceived as luxurious by the public simply because they play a role of status symbols as such goods tend to signify the purchasing power of those who acquire them. These items, while not being any better (in quality, performance, or appearance) than their less expensive substitutes, are purchased with the sole purpose of displaying wealth or income of their owners. These kinds of goods are the objects of a socio-economic phenomenon called conspicuous consumption and commonly include luxury cars, expensive watches and jewelry, designer clothing, yachts, and large residences such as McMansions, urban mansions and country houses.
Baselworld Watch and Jewelry Show is a trade show for the watch and jewelry industry organized annually in the city of Basel, Switzerland. The international show unites about 2,100 exhibitors from over 45 countries, including the leading watch and jewelry brands, as well as companies specializing in precious gems. The exhibitors display their latest products to the industry’s experts, mass media representatives, watch collectors and connoisseurs, just everyone interested in the most recent industry novelties.
Visitors of the show get acquainted with an exclusive range of products. The exhibition area covers more than 160,000 m2 with different halls situated on several floors. Products are divided in specialized sectors placed in six exhibition halls - Hall of Universe, Hall of Elements, Hall of Visions, etc. The Baselworld management takes care of updating the halls’ design.. In 2007 the Hall of Dreams has been entirely redecorated.
Watch and jewelry companies and other brands related to the industry exhibit their products in their own halls. Baselworld also comprises national pavilions. The show provides a thorough market overview and offers the participants a suitable business platform for discovering new opportunities and finding new partners. Baselworld traditionally takes place in spring. The show attracts over 94,000 visitors, with retailers and wholesalers from different parts of the world. Show visitors get surrounded by business and networking atmosphere and become aware of the latest industry trends and innovations.
BaselWorld Village
The event’s participants may also visit the Baselworld Village located in the neighborhood. The ‘village’ provides special facilities, including bars and restaurants, lounges and outdoor areas where partners may discuss their business matters in a cozy atmosphere. The Baselworld Village is open every evening from 6 pm to 2 am during the exhibition. To visit the ‘village’, the show participants have to take a 10-minute journey by taxi, tram or bus.
History
The history of the show dates back to 1917 when there was established the first ‘Schweizer Mustermesse Basel’(MUBA in short) with a special section devoted to watches and jewelery. In 1925 MUBA organized the show which included several watch manufacturers, while in 1931 there appeared the first ‘Schweizer Uhrenmesse-Swiss Watch Show’ in a specialized pavilion. The year 1972 marked an important event in the history of the exhibition - MUBA held ‘Europe’s meeting place’ exhibition which gathered the companies from France, Italy, Germany, and United Kingdom.
In 1983 the show changed its name - it was called BASEL plus two numerals denoting the exhibition year - BASEL 83. Basel 86 included companies from outside Europe, having resulted in the increased number of visitors coming from outside Europe.
Often agonize about what to wear for a night out on the town. But my invitation to observe the Watch Enthusiasts of New York monthly meeting proved especially challenging. This secret society of New York watch collectors known as “The Weenies” (after their WENY acronym) is one of the most exclusive in the watch world. What kind of timepiece can I wear that won’t make me stand out like a bumpkin at a debutante’s ball?
Since my own watch collection is pretty limited—think Swatch, Ebel, Movado, as well as the Polar wristwatch that goes with my heart-rate monitor—I end up borrowing my mom’s classic Rolex, a blue dial with an 18-karat gold-and-steel band from the 1980s. Believe me, the Weenies notice. Wrist-gaping is the main activity at a Weenie meeting.
Formed by two watch lovers in 2005, each monthly Weenie gathering is a movable feast with a prix fixe dinner at a different location, typically a New York City restaurant or bar. Sure, you’ll find hedge-funders and real estate moguls among the 32 members, but the roster also includes a Malaysian artist, an engineer, and an acupuncturist. While a few wives and girlfriends tag along at meetings, there are only two female members.
Swatch reported an almost 40 percent rise in first-half net profit amid booming sales of luxury watches and warned that strong demand in the second half could outstrip production.
Shares in the world’s biggest watchmaker rose on Tuesday after it beat expectations with net profit of 460 million Swiss francs ($385.3 million) for the first six months.
“Overall consensus now looks clearly too low for the year, and we anticipate a slew of upgrades on the stock during the session,” said Kepler Equities analyst Jon Cox, who has a “buy” rating on the stock and a target price of 420 francs.
Swatch registered shares were up 2.9 percent at 350 francs by 0812 GMT, compared with a 0.7 percent decline in the Swiss benchmark index.
