to 25 January 2002. Long-term prospects, besides “the arrival of
Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC and Lange & Söhne at the SIHH next year,
enable us to envisage various restructuring and development options for

The
SIHH ended with “an excellent overall result” indicated the
International Committee of Fine Luxury Watchmaking (CIHH). The trends
registered in the sector “are clearly positive for the year 2001”.
Orders are on the increase and apparently well up on last year in terms
of both quality and quantity. According to the first assessments of all
the brands, performance reported in Europe was steady. Other markets
continued to show regular growth in line with forecasts.
