It’s a wrap folks, Baselworld 2014 has finally come to a close. It’s been a crazy week-and-a-half, with not nearly enough time to visit every brand and independent watchmaker I had intended to see. But hey, I can’t complain.
Overall it’s been an interesting fair, with not as many wild and out-of-the-box (read ultra-expensive) pieces, but at the same time a number of very interesting offerings in the sub $20k range.
In the following weeks I’ll take you through some my favourite new pieces, but in the meantime here’s a quick summary of what I saw in my last two days at the fair.
