Geneva, November 2009 The watchmaking revolution is underway! Independent brands and craftsmen are teaming up to fight the global economic crisis by participating to the Geneva Time Exhibition®. From January 17-22, 2010, some 35 watchmaking brands will display their latest collections at the first-ever Geneva Time Exhibition (GTE): a unique opportunity for all watch industry professionals to discover the exceptional creativity of the new watchmaking generation.

For a number of years, independent watchmaking brands have been looking to pool their forces at international exhibitions with a view to attacking new markets. Now, the Geneva Time Exhibition®, designed with the firms’ budgetary constraints in mind, replies to the crisis by offering them optimum conditions to seize the new financial opportunities that are opening up across the world today.

GTE provides a fantastic platform for an economic sector with immense creative potential. As independent watchmakers strive to give fresh impetus to endangered craftsmanship, they are offering a host of bold, ingenious solutions designed to refresh the image of traditional watchmaking. The result is an array of contemporary, classical or totally revolutionary timepieces which, in terms of both appearance and technology, transcend tradition.

As a graphic designer, I'm fascinated by the crossroads between technology and aesthetics. Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye. WatchPaper was born from the desire to create an online tool where I can share my passion for watches.
