Why SIHH 2016 Watch Trade Show Grows To 24 Participating Brands Including Major Independent Watchmakers
"Carr�� des Horlogers" is going to be the new buzzword for those in the watch industry early in 2016, as the new iteration of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) makes a major move to incorporate nine fresh names into their roster of luxury watch makers. Up until now, SIHH has included mostly brands that exist under the aegis of The Richemont Group. Why did this happen?

My co-worker has this beautiful piece and I want it.But I need to be fair in finding out its value. I can only research it's value, if I can identify. Would anyone be able to give me a hand in attempting to identify this beautiful piece?It has no markings on the caseback. I am unsure of the production year. The crystal was changed once to his knowledge and as it is plastic, it has light scratches. The band is also aftermarket and I'd love to know if the original one could be found. The patina looks right and he thankfully didn't get it removed by a jeweler that offered to polish it off.Since I just got my hands on it, I haven't opened it to look at the movement. The watch is an automatic and I find nothing to suggest it's a Seamaster or a DeVille. I also can't tell whether it's white gold or steel.Help?img.photobucket/albums/v6...esis/photo.jpg
