EPHJ-EPMT: When watchmaking meets micro technology…

May 2009


The microtechnology and watchmaking sectors are coming to the EPHJ-EPMT from May 12 to May 15, with the goal of creating new business and forming new partnerships, all in a friendly atmosphere.

With people coming from all around, the show is now an Institution thanks to the scientific days sponsored by the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. As for watchmaking, this section is full.

The watchmaking (EPHJ) and microtechnology (EPMT) sectors are together in the International Show at Lausanne Beaulieu, where synergies between the two branches are even more complementary.

A number of companies are exhibiting as groups, such as that of the Economic Promotion of the Swiss Canton of the Jura, located in the EPHJ section (watchmaking), a pioneer in grouping companies together in one stand.

This year, given the strong demand on the microtechnology side, with a 35 percent increase in the number of exhibitors and a nearly 60 percent increase in the amount of exhibition space compared to the 2008 show, the Jura is also providing a stand for its enterprises in the microtechnology section.

Watchmaking
For seven years, the EPHJ has been an integral part of the watchmaking calendar, thanks to the show's dates that coincide with suppliers' research and production planning schedules, which are themselves determined by the business conducted at the SIHH and BaselWorld trade fairs. The popularity of the EPHJ is also due to Lausanne's convenient location, only a short distance from the main watchmaking centres.

The number of directors of prestigious brands who accompany their production and R&D managers to the EPHJ testifies to the renewed interest in this international show, where you can find everything related to the watch, from the packaging to the bracelet, from the tiny gears to the polishing, from samples of new materials to their specific tooling, without even going into detail about the many services that are offered.
