Want To Launch A High-End Watch Brand? What The 9 New Independents At SIHH 2016 Teach Us
/2 Comments/in Events, Fairs & Exhibitions, Christophe Claret, Hautlence, HYT, Independents, Laurent Ferrier, MB&F, Urwerk/by Ian SkellernPost-SIHH reports indicate that the inclusion of the so-called indies was a big success for both visitors and the small brands alike, but also that there was a little grumbling from some of the large established SIHH brands generated by the fact that visitors to the fair remarked − with justification − that there were more interesting watches in the Carré des Horlogers than in the rest of the SIHH altogether.

Hautlence, Branding, Eric Cantona, And The 10-Year Anniversary
/6 Comments/in Hautlence/by Elizabeth DoerrThe date was March 2004. The place was Basel. I had gotten wind of a new “brand” and was heading down the street from Baselworld’s Hall 1 toward the local Starbucks to meet with the founders. In the ten years since that coffee-fueled day, Hautlence has basically experienced its own birth, middle age, near death and reincarnation. That’s quite a lot of history for any 10-year old brand.
