When the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie opens on January 19, it will mark the 25th anniversary of the exclusive trade fair. And the 16 exhibiting maisons are making sure the 2015 edition is the most magical yet. Cartier, Piaget, Van Cleef & Arpels, Vacheron Constantin, Richard Mille, and Jaeger-LeCoultre are among the brands enthralling 12,500 guests with the latest in watchmaking technology and craftsmanship at this year’s SIHH. Organized by the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, the elite event is set to be held at the Palexpo Exhibition Center in Geneva through January 23.
