"The SIHH is indeed celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year. Twenty years of success. Twenty years devoted to culture and craftsmanship, expertise and beauty. A coming of age. The age of reason. No doubt... yet an age which has in no way diminished our enthusiasm and energy when highlighting feats of craftsmanship and skill."
"The Fine Watchmaking we have defended for twenty years is one in which creativity is exalted by a true desire for technical and aesthetic innovation. While we never cease to pay tribute to the great watchmaking tradition and its heritage, we also tend towards the future and new ideas. Witness the arrival of two brands, bringing the number of exhibitors to nineteen. The SIHH welcomes Richard Mille and Greubel Forsey, their undeniable talent as watchmakers, and their innovative spirit."
