Basel’s Art and Architecture by Bike and on Foot
A guide through the art and architecture of Basel, Switzerland’s third most populous city.
Basel
Golden Age Design Showcased at Design Miami/ Basel 2022
This year’s curatorial theme, The Golden Age: Rooted in the Past, celebrates “hope for the future, lighting the path towards our highest aspirations. … The Golden Age could become a source of inspiration to imagine a brighter future for human beings and our planet.”
Baselworld 2018
What makes Baselworld tick? This year, some 650 exhibitors.
Blancpain
Alain Delamuraz is in high demand at Baselworld. As Blancpain’s vice president and head of marketing, his insights and knowledge are sought after, and he moves fairly quickly from one private showing room to another, pretty much all day long.
Chanel Timepieces
A brand that knows well how to keep its message unfettered and alive is Chanel. Its presence at Basel is an impressive one, a star among stars.
Chopard L.U.C Collection
Chopard is widely known for its association with the Cannes Film Festival, as its jewellery adorns many a star, including most recently Cate Blanchett. Chopard, though, is a serious player in the watchmaking sphere too.
The Show Begins
While the enormity of the enterprise at Baselworld is startling, shocking even, in terms of logistics alone, the exhibition shows an industry competitive as they come, nonetheless finding enough common ground to make this a must-visit.
Time Honoured
A brief history of the watch.
How did we get the 60-second minute? What do the phases of the moon have to do with timekeeping? And why is watchmaking so popular?
