A New Business Journal for Switzerland

Español
January 2015


Europa Star HBM SA releases Europa Star PREMIÈRE, the Swiss watch market’s business journal. This 32-page French language publication is the first business journal of its genre and is the only one entirely dedicated to the watch industry’s ecosystem (which employs almost 60,000 people in Switzerland and reaches millions of consumers).

Europa Star PREMIÈRE speaks directly to the watchmaking industry and furthermore to lawyers, bankers, retailers, engineers, insurers, consultants, trust funds, designers, financial advisers, architects, IT specialists, the leisure and service industry as well as hotel managers, artists and researchers who operate within and around this vital sector of our economy.
The publication is based on the business relationships between the above actors, using watchmaking as a common denominator.
Stepping away from the usual watchmaking press essentially centred on the product and its promotion, Europa Star PREMIÈRE aims to become a tool for contemplation, overpowering the web’s short-lived articles to offer its readers a rich, deep and diversified content on every aspect of the industry.
In short, a “pure paper player” - in other words, a journal!

Lead by Serge, Philippe and Pierre Maillard, Europa Star PREMIÈRE also invites many contributors and columnists, each specialised in a particular sector of the watch world, to offer their view and experience within the pages of the publication - whether their input be technical, economical, legal, media-centred, sociological, historical or even artistic.

Pertinent – and impertinent if required! – during this period of interrogation, Europa Star PREMIÈRE wishes to encourage debate, decipher information, raise questions and offer a path of food for thought to a watchmaking industry that finds itself standing at a crossroads.
News Stories, debates and round tables, views, analyses and even outbursts, share the field with objective data, encrypted and decrypted.
Distributed every two-months by individual mail to 5,000 business decision makers in Switzerland, Europa Star PREMIÈRE is the result of a successful collaboration between two generations of journalists and publishers specialised in watchmaking.
The journal wishes to agitate the present and help to fashion the future of watchmaking, sometimes looking back on the past of Switzerland’ s foundations, thanks to Europa Star’s wealth of data.

Europa Star PREMIÈRE’s goal is to become an indispensable intermediary for the Swiss watch industry’s identity. It opens its advertising and pages to all the participating actors.

Publication on the 19th January 2015.
