BASEL WORLD 2018

BASELWORLD, held from March 22 (Thu) to 27 (Tue), is the world's largest watch and jewelry fair. As usual, it was held in Basel, a place located at the border of the three countries of Germany, France and Switzerland.As the latest models from so many brands are announced each year, it is a big event where many enthusiasts and watches lovers gather together from around the world.
We will report our visit to Basel this year.

Arrived to Basel via Amsterdam, it was cold like returning to midwinter, unlike the early spring weather in Tokyo.This year we rented a private apartment again. It was a very accessible place with a 15-minute walk to the exhibition venue.

Visiting Basel for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the quality and size of the booths of high brands and realized again that there are so many watch brands in the world.For each brand booth, the worldview of the brand is presented uniquely, it was entertaining just walking around them.

At the booth, there was a design competition event for PLP. The winner of the design will be given an actual watch with the design. PLP stands for Point Line Plane, which is an iconic model of TACS based on the concept of points, lines and planes which is the basis of design.
It was impressive that so many people from small children to adults were taking part in this event. It is special to have a watch with the own design and that is only one in the world.

running through the streets with colors of Europe seems to be easily picturesque

A beautiful city with cobbled streets, red sandstone walls and colorful roof tiles, traveling in the city of Basel by tram, running through the streets with colors of Europe seems to be easily picturesque.

In this trip to Basel. It was a very good opportunity to share information and exchange opinions directly with WENGER and TACS.Also, we were able to introduce our new models to a lot of people and they loved them. I am very excited to the future releases. We will continue to work more on the growth of WENGER and TACS in Japan.Everyone who came to WENGER and TACS booth this time, editors and writers who interviewed us, thank you a lot for your time when you are busy.
On the way back to Japan, we stuck in France for one day due to the strike that had occurred several days ago ...
But it was a memorable business trip that I experienced for the first time in my life.
