What Is SIHH? A Major Watch Industry Show & What It Means
With all of the timepiece coverage flooding in from our trip to Geneva, Switzerland in January, I thought it might be a good idea to slow down for a moment and give you all some context pertaining to the whos, whats, whys, hows, and wheres of SIHH. Who puts on this show, why is it put on, how is it executed, and where are the attendees coming from? In short, what is SIHH?As a first-time attendee, I am going to give you my overall impressions and analysis of the event, while I attempt to explain the goings-on of this annual affair from an insider's perspective.

Rolex Tourneau SF
The Rolex boutique which I would call more like a shack is an embarrassment to the brand. Shreve is an another level which should be emulated. No wonder Taintneau was just sold. Maybe changes coming. :)
