France might have lost its triple A, but the Fausts have won their triple 6, by bringing together 6 dozen brands for their 6th Salon Belles Montres, where attendance was up by 6%.

 

Created by Catherine and Alain Faust, the success of this watchmaking rendezvous in the heart of Paris, increases with every year that passes. Consistently held at the end of November in the admirable setting of the Carrousel du Louvres, this year the Salon Belles Montres attracted a record 15,000 vistors – with a quarter of that figure attending the opening cocktail party evening, a particularly sought-after event.

For Stefano Macaluso, CEO of Girrard-Perregaux, “The Salon Belles Montres has initiated direct encounters between watch companies and their audience. This is the not-to-be-missed annual meeting for our Manufacture Girrard-Perregaux.”

CEO of Bell&Ross, Carlos Rossillo, enthuses : “The Salon Belles Montres has become an institution and is THE annual meeting point for fans, be they watchmaking connoisseurs or not. It is a huge success with very positive results.” The next event will take place from November 29^th to December 1^st 2013.
