An early preview of the SIHH 2019.
The next Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) at Palexpo, Geneva, will take place January 14-17, 2019. Setting the tone for the twelve months to come, it adopts a four-day schedule instead of the usual five with the convenience of longer opening hours, every day from 8.30am to 8pm.
Confirming SIHH's place in Geneva, and continuing an immensely popular initiative from the previous two years, doors will open to the public on the Thursday, with a special late-night opening until 10pm for easy access, particularly for after-work visitors. On Sunday afternoon, the day before the official opening, the exhibiting brands will have the opportunity to invite selected customers to a preview of their new collections.
SIHH 2019 presents a stable line-up of 35 exhibitors, with 18 historic Maisons and 17 independents in the Carré des Horlogers. The Maison of Bovet will participate at this year’s event for the first time ever.
