The preparations for BASELWORLD 2006 (March 30 to April 6, 2006) have been successfully launched. Current registration numbers already indicate that BASELWORLD will once again consolidate its position as the foremost event for the industry.

“First Avenue” Enhances the Hall of Visions

The upgraded Hall of Visions (Hall 2.2) has been designed to add an important new dimension to BASELWORLD 2006. Due to changes made to the infrastructure, multi-storey stands can now be erected in “First Avenue” for the first time. As a result, the Hall of Visions will provide the world’s leading jewellery companies with an opulent new platform with a unique interior design.
In response to requests from exhibitors for a total revamp of the Hall, the Show management has created this exclusive environment for the launch of new jewellery collections, in order to reflect the premium status of the exhibiting brands.

All the Eminent Watch Brands in Basel

The Show management is particularly pleased with the number of registrations already received for BASELWORLD 2006. Show director, Sylvie Ritter, confirms that all the eminent watch brands will be present in Basel once again, commenting “This continuity from exhibitors demonstrates how important BASELWORLD is in providing a vital benchmark for the luxury goods industry.”
A high level of demand has also been received from exhibitors in the jewellery sectors. Sylvie Ritter states: “This demonstrates that our ongoing commitment to ensuring that the Show encapsulates every level and aspect of the world's jewellery industry in Basel, have proved successful. Furthermore, BASELWORLD is gaining increasing importance for our exhibitors, due largely to the high quality of visitors that the event attracts every year.”
For the next world Show, the management expects more than 2100 exhibitor companies and some 90,000 visitors to come to Basel.

Enormous Media Interest in BASELWORLD

Looking back to BASELWORLD 2005, it is clear that media coverage of the World Watch and Jewellery Show exceeded all expectations. Analysis of the global coverage in the specialist, lifestyle and daily media clearly shows that BASELWORLD is seen to be of outstanding importance within the luxury goods industry and, in particular, the watch and jewellery sectors. A total of 2352 accredited journalists from 55 countries, representing all five continents – drawn from the key specialist industry publications and international daily media - attended the event to report on the Show and innovations presented.
