With Nidor, Zeno-Watch Basel presents its third watch of pocket at bracelet. The director of the mark, Felix Huber, could obtain a stock of old movements Nidor gone back to 1918, interesting detail which gives seal to the unit.

     In 1918, the Buser Company & Co with Niederdorf, close to Basle, developed the movement of mechanical watch Nidor 8 days for the car industry. It could be assembled on the dashboard or center of the wheel of a car. Victim of its lack of sale, the production was stopped. There remained a stock, discovered by Roland Buser in 2000.

     The historical movements were renovated in the workshops of Zeno-Watch Basel and the silver cases which accompanied them were only slightly modified. The watch is however pleasant to carry to the wrist.
      Only 50 specimens of this watch of bracelet pocket were manufactured.
     On April 2, with the closing of Baselworld, the Swiss exhibitors did not hide them relief since the assessment of the edition 2009 is comparable with that of 2007 or 2006, years described as very good.
Genuine barometer of the branch, the most important clock making living room and jeweller in the world reassured after a beginning of year difficult in comparison at February 2008 and January which had proven to be exceptional. One attends consequently more one return to the normal that to a true retreat.
     Except for the Americans under-represented this year, all the international actors of the branch made displacement with Basel world. The fall of the number of visitors compared to the record recorded into 2008 is explained primarily by delegations come in more restricted committees. The appointment ballots proves more than ever impossible to circumvent. For the exhibitors on the one hand, since a broad part of their sales are realized on this occasion and that there is essential to remain visible in an economic context difficult general.

     For the retailers and retailers in addition, since the living room represents the most formidable window of the new tendencies and innovations and this in all the sectors – clock industry, jewelers and branches related – and in all the ranges of price. Moreover, Basel world proves to be an unequalled opportunity for exhibitors and retailers to weave contacts, to inform and develop relations on the long term. As many signs of expensive confidence and respect to the Swiss exhibitors.

     Precursors except par, the Swiss clock and watch makers presented several small revolutions in first world. In a tended economic situation, the innovation proves like the most beautiful answer of the Swiss clock and watch makers. Gauges “house”, mechanisms of clever postings and spectacular swirls, equipped in metals as noble as pink or gray gold, material high-tech alloys, or finely worked variations ceramics held the high-speed motorboat in Baselworld. If the round form preserves its favour near the Swiss clock and watch makers, the watches of form – square, rectangle, barrel, rhombus – also flowered on their stands.
The boxes of very small size mark their great return for the woman, while one oscillates between oversize sizes and diameters slightly lower than the models of these last years for the Sirs.
