Thread: Baselworld postponed till Jan 2021

    Baselworld postponed till Jan 2021

    https://journal.hautehorlogerie.org/...-january-2021/

    Wonder if the brands will wait till Jan or just go with current times and release the new watches on social media.

    Postponing an annual event by nearly a year is, to my mind, cancelling it?!

    Inevitable and thoroughly sensible.

    The big question is will manufacturers announce new Refs or simply wait until next Basel?

    My guess is that they will still knock them out. I'm not aware of any rules to prevent them from doing so. I doubt for example Rolex would sit on their hands while Omega released all their new stuff. We might even see some earlier than usual.

    Big brands like Rolex make production plans years in advance, so no way they'll wait until January. Probably just release on social media and advertising.

    I think we will see what the automotive brands are doing with the Geneva show cancellation: social media announcements of new models.

    Whilst I quite like following the live timeline announcements via HODINKEE or similar, I often get the most out of places like here where I can use specific links that I am interested in.
