Baselworld

The deal was made between Baselworld’s Swiss Exhibitors’ Committee, unanimously approved by the Baselworld Consulting Committee and supported by industry associations, according to the statement.

Until 2019, Baselworld — the century-old Swiss event that began as Montres et Bijoux — and Geneva’s Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie were pretty much the only two watch exhibitions that mattered.

As badly damaged as Baselworld is, the MCH Group is still working toward holding some sort of fair in 2021 or 2022.
