Press release

 

Dedicated to watch manufactures exhibiting for the first time in Geneva, "The Avenue" attracts already the attention of all fine mechanics lovers. These new GTE members enjoy a great visibility on the international key-markets. Visitors will rush on "The Avenue" to discover many famous brands, such as:

- deLaCour: In the universe of prestigious timepieces, deLaCour stands apart as a unique and singular brand. Developed by Pierre Koukjian, deLaCour was established to offer alternative and exclusive creations. The brand successfully raised the challenge with its Bichrono collection, favourite timepieces of most famous football players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo.

- Frédérique Constant Group (Alpina, Ateliers de Monaco, Frédérique Constant): born from the passion of Aletta and Peter Stas for high-precision watches, Frédérique Constant Group appears to be one of the best success stories of contemporary watchmaking. Led by their philosophy "Live Your Passion", the company will gather its three brands together on the same exhibition space. This is a first, and it is at GTE!

- Jordi Swiss Icon: This is the comeback of a legend of Swiss watchmaking. Michel Jordi, who appears to be one of the first watch creators to successfully export the swiss traditional values to Asia, will present on "The Avenue" his new adventure called "Swiss Icon,": a new artistic vision of helvetic symbols such as the art of “Scherenschnitt”.

- Milus: Created in 1919, Milus acquired an international legitimacy with its famous Herios TriRetrograde timepieces, equipped with the brand's exclusive mechanical movement. The brand shows a very strong presence on the international watch scene, particularly in Asia, with the opening of a flagship store in Shanghai a few months ago.

- RSW: Very popular among collectors in the Middle East, the brand stands since 1914 by unusual post-modernist designed watches. Its “Tourbillon King” collection, in limited edition, has gained an international reputation in the segment of mechanical watchmaking.

Visitors may also be seduced by new promising "Watch Concepts", which could become tomorrow's iconic watches!

Visitors will therefore discover new brands at GTE 2012, such as 219, Antoine Martin, Dietrich, Evilard, Gangi, Les Millionnaires or Zanetti Watches.
