SIHH 2018 Will Feature Public Day & More Exhibitors Than Ever Shows & Events

Are we pumped for SIHH 2018 yet? Just like the “holiday shopping season” and beginning around the same time, it seems like the new-product announcements get earlier every year. With still more than a month to go, the 2018 models that we will get to see in Geneva in January have already started coming in. The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) watch industry trade show, just like its organizing body the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH), has continued to grow and evolve each year, adding more brands as well as a day where the show is open to the public for the first time in 2017 – this time around, it will be Friday, January 19th, 2018. Now with a total of 35 brands, SIHH 2018 promises even more variety than in previous years.

You already know that SIHH is one of the two most important events for the watch industry, as its exhibitors – while much fewer than at the biggest industry trade show, Baselworld – represent many major and influential brands, and this is the time of year when they introduce their most important new products. Vis-à-vis Baselworld – where around 300 brands represent the breadth of the watch industry from high-end and mainstream to obscure startups – SIHH has always carefully maintained an image of exclusivity and “prestige.”

So, while a few brands do introduce models in the “mid-level luxury” range that the average person might be able to consider saving up for and possibly actually wearing… you can expect a lot of skeletonization, avant-garde designs, artisanal techniques and haute horology finishing, “high complications,” precious materials, and stratospheric prices. Haute horlogerie is in the name, after all. It has largely been a spectator’s show for fans of high-end watchmaking, but with recent industry trends emphasizing more “down-to-earth” (it’s all relative) models, some balance and variety can at least be hoped for.

SIHH 2018’s 35 Exhibiting Brands

The Richemont Group along with some independent brands long represented the handful of SIHH exhibitors. However, the show’s 2016 edition added a “Carré des Horlogers” section with nine “artisan-creators and independent workshops” and expanded that number in 2017. This year, the Carré des Horlogers brands are up to no fewer than 17, with the primary exhibitors (referred to as “Historic Maisons”) at 18 for a total, again, of 35. The primary exhibitors are joined by Hermes, and the Carré des Horlogers adds five brands with Armin Strom, DeWitt, Ferdinand Berthoud, Élégante by F.P.Journe, and Romain Gauthier. See the full list of exhibitors in the image above.

From a media perspective, Baselworld has tended to spread our resources very thinly in past years with simply too much to cover at once, so with some prominent brands having moved from Baselworld to SIHH, we can hope for some balance between the shows. Around 20,000 visitors are expected this year, and the FHH promises improved facilities and connectivity in order to make our job of bringing you high quality content more efficient – so we’ll see what that’s like in January. That’s just a glimpse into our point of view in preparing for the show.

We’ll continue providing news of new products ahead of the show – if mostly only renders and official product images from the brands with basic information before being able to see the watches in person to photograph and evaluate them in their glorious and gritty reality. SIHH 2018 runs from January 15th to the 19th, and again, the last day is open to the public with tickets on sale at the SIHH website. sihh.org

Within the Hyt Watches History Replica H4 is the manually-wound HYT grade 401 mechanical movement that is exclusive to the newest and operates in 28,800 bph (4Hz) using a power reserve of 65 hours. The rear of the HYT H4 Gotham watch includes a tinted sapphire crystal that goes together with what HYT calls their “Gothic theme” to your timepiece. Future limited edition HYT H4 versions will obviously be more summery in their theme with brighter colors. The black colors with a touch of red in the HYT H4 created for a handsome, yet dark character for the watch — which is undeniably cool.And yes, you do not need to adore HYT watches, but it is hard to deny that these are some cool products. Utilizing liquid in a tube to tell the time? Possessing a trendy carbon instance and slick layout? Again, if you are going to go for something ultra-bold in your wrist you’d need it to be some thing like this.In accession to the 3DTP carbon case there are other materials like sapphire crystal and DLC-coated black ceramic elements (such as the crown). The case is water resistant to 50 meters and also the crown does screw-down, needless to say. A lot of the new skeletonization in the HYT H4 see’s motion (versus the H1) is on the back of the motion seen through the back of the situation. The skeletonization is very fine, but unfortunately, it’s a bit hard to see awarded the dark tinting of the HYT H4 Gotham watch. I have a feeling that in future versions, HYT will tease the visual appeal of this motion just a little bit less.
