The World Brand Piazza will feature timepieces from renowned brands such as Blancpain, Breguet, Chopard, CORUM, DeWitt, FRANCK MULLER, Glashütte Original, Jacob & Co., Jaquet Droz, Juvenia, Montblanc, Piaget and Zenith.

Anyone looking for a European feel can check out the Renaissance Moment area, which will bring attention to classic and elegant watches from Europe, as well as Switzerland, with four Swiss brands and a Swiss Independent Watchmaking Pavilion.

Building mechanical watches is no easy task and the Craft Treasure zone will pay tribute to the craftsmanship needed to build fine watch movements and jewellery watches.

Looking for the latest trendy and stylish watches? Look no further than the Chic & Trendy space, but if you prefer to check out the latest lines of smart watches, the Wearable Tech zone is for you.
