As per the figures provided by the organizers, the overall attendance was better than last year, although the atmosphere was still a little tense as many markets did not show any signs of recovery yet.

However, some positive signs emerged indicating and confirming what started to be felt during the last quarter that in some specific markets, the trends stopped to decline and the demand was starting to be back in the shops.

On the product side, once again many novelties were introduced by most of the companies including Catamaran Swiss Watches and many more, still to come, will be presented within the next few months.

The slow down of the economy did not reduce the pace of the R&D in developing new products and even more effort will be concentrate in that field to support the markets and the shops.
