Hello

It had last been in October 2009 when we had sent you information about the development of the designer brand a.b.art. The new momentum we started seeing last spring after we had received the red dot design award has increased by the end of 2009. The very successful Christmas sales were the culmination of a very positive year. Important for the success was undoubtedly the nomination for the award “Designpreis Deutschland 2010” in the fall of 2009, which helped our definite breakthrough in the world of design. a.b.art has certainly not been feeling much of the ominous crisis in the watch industry. As pleased as we were at the end of last year, as optimistic did we start the new one. It’s apparent that more and more retailers believe in the small Swiss watch label, which is manifested by the ever rising demand. Already the first trade fair of the year, inhorgenta europe in Munich, confirmed the trend. Please see the different headings in our newsletter for more information. Enjoy!


Best regards,
François Zahnd, CEO and Managing Director

Preview Baselworld 2010

There are only a few more days before the start of Baselworld. From March 18 to 25, 2010, a.b.art will be at the same location as last year, booth D25 in hall 5.0. We will be presenting several new watch series , such as series ZS, a delicate rectangular ladies watch based on the former series Z, distinguished by a convenient pull-through strap system. Then we will be showing the classical series KLD, which comes in 8 different models. They all have the same size and shape as series KL, but they have a date indication and seconds in the centre of the watch. Last but not least we will present the new series O and OC, in all black, a bestseller even before the official launch. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like to make an appointment to visit us at our booth. We’re looking forward to seeing you in Basel.

Review inhorgenta europe 2010

From February 19 to 22, 2010, the inhorgenta europe took place in Munich, Germany. This trade fair always provides important indication about the mood of the market and shows the trends for the year. Frankly, a.b.art was practically overrun in the four days and saw a demand like never before. The proof is the 100% increase of orders during the fair compared to the inhorgenta europe 2009. But also the many new clients , especially from Germany and its neighboring countries, as well as several interesting contacts to importers are promising. The demand from our retailers is an indication that a.b.art’s philosophy is well received and that there is great potential for the Swiss watch label. No matter what, we’re looking forward to the future.
