About Europa Star

In 2017, Europa Star is celebrating the 90th anniversary of its existence and its independence. In launching the very first international magazine networks dedicated to the worldwide promotion of the watchmaking sector back in 1927, Europa Star became a pioneer and continues to stay true to its mission to this day. In 90 years, international watchmaking has undergone numerous, sometimes radical, face-lifts. Europa Star has always proven its ability to rise above the changes taking place not only in watchmaking, but also in the press and media. As such it not only better fulfils its task, but also proffers its valuable point of view and influential analyses of the sector and its contributors. For its 90th anniversary, amid even more radical upheavals, Europa Star is once again updating its act to pursue its action more effectively. This means a new layout, new skills, new website, not to mention the launch of a regular TV programme and, above all, new partnerships. Such is now the case with Watchonista, whose valuable skills match those of Europa Star perfectly.
