Blancpain has held its first independent show, following its bold exit from Baselworld. Held from 14 to 17 May with the tongue-in-cheek title "Time To Move", the show was aimed exclusively at horological journalists. The show's main purpose was to showcase new releases from Breguet, Glashütte Original, Harry Winston, Jaquet Droz, The Swatch Group and Omega. Blancpain's lower-value, more mainstream brands Certina, Longines, Rado and Tissot were not present. One distinctive watch at the show was the Tropical Bird Repeater watch from Jacquet Droz, featuring a rainforest design and an engraved, hand-painted mother-of-pearl dial.
