The world’s finest watchmakers gathered in Mexico City yesterday for the fifth annual Salon Internacional de la Alta Relojeria (SIAR) 2011.  The event held at the Four Seasons in the country’s capital, will run through October 6th.
A large number of the world’s finest luxury watch manufacturers are attending the event.
eWatches brands that will be represented at the SIAR 2011 event include:

• Baume & Mercier
• Cartier
• Chopard
• Concord
• Corum
• Hermès

• Tag Heuer

Watch aficionados from around the world will be the first to see two industry unveilings–Baume  & Mercier have announced that they will launch a new chapter in their watchmaking legacy at this week’s event.  While Cartier will introduce customers and fans to their Astroregulateur technology.  There will also be exhibitions that celebrate watchmaking, including Bell & Ross Clock & Military History and Girard-Perregaux’s exploration into its 220 years of watchmaking.

The highlight, however, is the historically-themed “Mechanical horology from its origins to the present day.” The exhibition traces mechanical time measurement all the way back to the thirteenth when weight-driven clocks  tracked the time to “Grande Complications” wristwatches. The presentation is accompanied by 60 historic timepieces on loan from the Fondation Salon de la Haute Horlogerie partner brands and Swiss Museums. In addition the FHH will display a current watch for each of its partner brands. vedere di piu Swiss Rolex e tag heuer monaco/monza
