Europa Star welcomes you to BaselWorld 2009
Our booth can be found in Hall 1.1 - Booth A17 where you are most welcome to visit us, take the weight off your feet, enjoy a drink and take full advantage of the special subscription prices of Europa Star, the world's most influential watch magazine. You can also purchase the latest edition - a unique issue, since it covers the entire spectrum of watches at the show, from Haute Horlogerie to Signature and High Fashion watches.

Considered to be the watch 'bible', Europa Star is distributed in more than 154 countries and is read by trade professionals, watch enthusiasts and aficionados in order to keep up to date with both new timepieces and the companies that manufacture them.
