Baselworld
Every year watchmakers strive to create the latest designs and technology using many materials. Ceramic has become an increasingly strong theme over the last few years at Basel. Not only does it consist of a sleek and polished finish, it is also durable and extremely scratch resistant. Vintage watch styles are often spotted among luxury fashion brands to showcase their heritage. In recent years modern ultra slim cases have overtaken the oversized styles of the past seasons.
