Exhibiting brands, including several newcomers, reported a more efficient show program, increased awareness and more serious buyers in its second year at Mandalay Bay. Swiss Watch took place during JCK Las Vegas Jewelry week from June 1st though 4th in the suites of Mandalay Bay, THEhotel and Mandarin Oriental.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;\">A complement to JCK\u2019s LUXURY event, Swiss Watch has been a member of the JCK Events portfolio for a decade. Traditionally marketed as a \u2018By Appointment\u2019 only show, JCK made increased efforts in 2012 to raise awareness of the high-end event, alerting members of the media and high-end buyers of its 30 member strong collective of exhibitors, concierge service for booking appointments and car service for trips to Mandarin Oriental, where Breitling exhibited.<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;\"><i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;\"><i>\u201cIn the early days of Swiss Watch, you had to seek out appointments a little bit more on your own. But JCK has done a great job of alerting us to the fantastic representation of upscale brands exhibiting at Swiss Watch and taken any guesswork out of the process. We made our appointments though the concierge with ease and hit all of our target brands. It seems every watch brand we do business with is there and some really interesting new ones as well; it was one stop shopping for us,\u201d <\/i>says Hank Siegel of Hamilton Jewelers.<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;\">With regard to the exhibiting brands, Swiss Watch welcomed 2 new brands, Dubey &amp; Schaldenbrand and FENDI, rounding out the Show\u2019s representation from every area of the watch category.<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;\"><i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/--Yi10aw7Ogk\/T-ssndE4QBI\/AAAAAAAATw4\/WyTlzyFrUf8\/s1600\/swisshvwn_f980x520.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><i><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"337\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/--Yi10aw7Ogk\/T-ssndE4QBI\/AAAAAAAATw4\/WyTlzyFrUf8\/s640\/swisshvwn_f980x520.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/i><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\"><i>Following their successful Swiss Watch at JCK, Gucci Timepieces &amp; Jewelry officially launched its latest digital timepiece collection at the Las Vegas 2012 Indocomm, the world&#8217;s most prominent audiovisual fair, through an exclusive collaboration with Samsung.<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;\"><span style=\"background-color: white; font-size: 10pt;\"><i>\u201cAs a long standing exhibitor at Swiss Watch, we were very pleased again with the attendance of luxury buyers this year.
