SIHH 2017 witnessed 10% increase in number of visitors.
23 Jan, 2017
The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie reached the record number of 30 exhibiting Maisons for a 2017 edition that more than lived up to expectations. For the very first time, the event was open to the public. There was more to see both in the main aisles and in the Carré des Horlogers, a showcase for artisan-creators and independent workshops, resulting in a unique panorama of contemporary Fine Watchmaking. Already a standout date in the calendar, the SIHH now positions itself as the international venue for watchmaking excellence. This initiative was crowned with success, shown by the record number of visitors for the entire week. This year, attendance rose by 10% to 16’000 visitors including 1’200 Journalists, and 2’500 Public visitors on last day of the exhibition.
