TOP EXHIBITORS
BASELWORLD 2017
Angelus
Having an extensive background
in watchmaking, the high-end
and prestigious brand based in
Chaux-de-Fonds, Angelus has
become one of the most influ-
ential manufacturers in the in-
dustry. The luxurious brand dis-
played the U20 Ultra-Skeleton
Tourbillon which is described as
“an authentic Haute Horlogerie
sculpture”. Seeking for transpar-
ency, each element of the watch
was preserved while maintaining
a much-needed rigidity and stur-
diness. Made from sapphire, this
majestic watch showcases prom-
inent 3D architecture features.
Armin Strom
Renowned for their astonishing skeleton watches,
Armin Strom brings in a new interpretation of tradi-
tion and architectural movement. Through a complex
watchmaking process, the brand follows a philosophy
of “resonance, whereby two balance wheels oscillating
in close proximity influence each other and ultimately
synchronise”, this can be noticed in Mirrored Force Res-
onance, a precise and energy saving timepiece.
Arnold & Son
A watchmaker brand of genera-
tions that delivers the most sym-
metrical and skeletonised designs
one could possibly hope for as
they imbue a narrative of their
own as well as an unmatched
sophistication. Nebula is an epit-
ome of this notion, as this holis-
tic design offers a wide variety of
achievements, from a three-di-
mensional view to a striking
power reserve and mirror effect.
In addition, the watch presents
a seamless symmetry in all sides.
Artya
Guided by Yvan Arpa, the
avant-garde
and
luxury
brand takes watchmaking
to new extremes by provid-
ing ingenious and luxurious
timepieces that have a one-
of-a-kind aesthetic appeal.
Offering the world with a
cluster of pieces at Basel-
World, such as the Son of
the Sea Tourbillon, the Sun
Tourbillon and the Race Red
Oz, each creative design has
its own set of exceptional
particularities.
Breguet
Always pursuing new forms to reinvent and im-
prove their products while maintaining a certain
sense of tradition, the iconic brand has a timeless
character that is best understood in its acclaimed
collections, take, for instance, the Tradition
Dame 7038 which was displayed at the event.
A self-winding piece that values a feminine pres-
ence in the aesthetics of mechanical horology.
Decorated with a rosette motif and adorned by a
mother-of-pearl dial, this ingenious piece demon-
strates an unparalleled balance and modernity.
