The Swissair edition of the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43, introduced at Baselworld 2019. Baselworld watch fair visitor numbers this year were down 22%, while exhibitor numbers also fell to 520, against 650 in 2018 and 1,300 the year before. The number of visitors from outside Europe was up by 6% compared with last year, but it is still a drop on 2017. However, top brands, such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and the LVMH Group continue as key exhibitors. Baselworld's new management has negotiated for the show to run sequentially with the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) watch show from next year until 2024. Baselworld will also shift towards a consumer show, differentiating itself from the invitation-only SIHH.
