 +====== Baselworld ======
 +Watch and jewelery fair
 +
 +The BASELWORLD is the largest and most important watch and jewelery fair in the world. It takes place each spring at [[Basel]].
 +
 +The fair carries the name BASELWORLD since [[2003]].
 +
 +[[Swatch Group]] announced in [[2018]] that they would no longer attend Baselworld with any of their brands, and the show has been reduced by one day. In [[2019]] it was announced that [[SIHH]] and BaselWorld would be held in successive weeks in April.
 +
 +===== History =====
 +The Basel Fair began in [[1917]] as the Schweizer Mustermesse Basel (MUBA), and included Swiss watch Manufacturers for the first time in [[1925]]. In [[1931]], a dedicated pavilion was added for watches, known as the Schweizer Uhrenmesse.
 +
 +In [[1973]], the first Europäische Uhren und Schmuckmesse (EUSM or "European Watch, Clock and Jewellery Fair") was held within the MUBA. This is usually considered to be the first in the series of Watch fairs in Basel, and future events were numbered from this year. The Mustermesse Basel changed its name to BASEL in [[1983]] and became an independent entity specifically focused on watches, clocks, and jewelry in [[1994]]. In [[1986]], BASEL was opened to brands from outside Europe for the first time. The show was renamed Baselworld in [[2003]].
 +
 +In [[2020]], before the global pandemic, many brands announced that they would no longer be involved in Baselworld. This was made worse as the show was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and ultimately cancelled. It was re-launched as a "year-round marketing and communications platform" but the in-person show was re-launched later that year as **HourUniverse**.
