He discusses how Rolex is requesting/demanding that the fair open up to welcome more exhibitors so it becomes almost like a Baselworld in Geneva, and suggests a host of brands who could potentially join the party, such as Carl F. Bucherer, Gucci, Frederique Constant, Alpina, Girard-Perregaux and more. Discover the full article here.
