The SalonQP 2014 has just closed its doors and once again, it was a very successful event thanks to the balanced mix between large and small brands, known and unknown companies. But more than the watches, the Salon gives the opportunity to meet and discuss with a lot of independent watchmakers. The AHCI and more generaly the independent brands represented a large share of the exhibitors for the deepest pleasure of the visitors. I should not forget the large brands like JLC or Chopard which also contributed a lot to this success. Let's take an example: JLC set up a sound lab which allowed to the guests to understand better the world of striking watches. A very impressive booth!

As usual, I propose you my gallery of pictures taken during the 3 days of the Salon.

I would like to thank a lot all the watchmakers and the teams of the brands for their availability and kindness.
