Every Spring many of the finest Swiss watch manufacturers come to the city of Basel in Switzerland to exhibit their masterpieces. It is the world's biggest and most important event in the Swiss watch industry.
For the watch enthusiast it is Mecca. No other place brings such creativity and craftsmanship as Basel does.
Basel World showcases three of the finest watch houses in all of Switzerland, Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling. Their watch pavilions stand three stories tall and take several weeks to be assembled. 
Patek Philippe is the crown jewel of Basel World. The undisputed finest timepiece made in the world. Pictured above is a Patek Philippe Ref. 5159J Perpetual Calendar with officer's case in 18kt yellow gold.
Breitling has a very unique pavilion complete with a huge aquarium.
Inside the Breitling pavilion clients are served champagne while waiting for their appointment. 
Featured above is a handsome and rugged chronograph from Breitling.
Something you immediately notice when arriving at the Basel fair is the beautiful flower arrangements. Some of these arrangements stand seven feet tall. I am alway impressed by how the Swiss are so attentive to the smallest details.
During the week of the Fair, many of Basel's finer hotels are booked solid but if you are fortunate enough to obtain a reservation, the Les Trois Rois or Three Kings is a wonderful four star hotel minutes from the exhibition hall.
Relax at the bar with a glass of champagne or a good cigar after a long day at the fair.
