Salon des Grandes Complications 2016 is supported by the Embassy of Switzerland, in partnership with Maserati and Visa.
The exhibition offers a unique experience and platform for industry professionals, enthusiasts and the general public to engage with experts and learn about the endlessly inspiring world of watchmaking and mechanical excellence.
Over the four days, the latest collections of timepieces and writing instruments will be displayed, as well as special limited editions and one-off masterpieces. From timeless creations to pioneering new movements, cutting-edge material and painstaking craftsmanship, the speciality of each company within the realm of mechanics and artisanship will be highlighted.
Master craftsmen from several companies will be present, offering incredible insights into their distinguishing art forms and extraordinary creations.
The 12th annual Watch of the Year Awards gala will mark the end of the exhibition on the final day, November 10.
In 2015, the SDGC attracted over 1,200 visitors including watch collectors, enthusiasts and high-net-worth individuals, and this year’s visitor tally is expected to rise to 1,700.
