One of the most fascinating things about watchmaking is how each country adds its own personal stylistic stamp to the horological tradition. In celebration of such regional differences, Gevril Group will showcase five diverse brands of watches at Baselworld 2012. Collectively, these brands focus on the watchmaking traditions of four different countries, opening a whole new world of possibilities for watch aficionados everywhere.

Johan Eric takes the best traditions of Danish Modern design and updates them for the 21st Century. These fine timepieces feature slim, contemporary lines, outstanding craftsmanship and great value.

Giulio Romano pays homage to Italy’s long tradition of imagination and creativity. From early Renaissance painters and sculptors to today’s hottest fashions, Italian designers have always managed to capture the emotion and drama that sets trends and inspires others. Giulio Romano embodies the best of this Italian tradition with a collection of fine timepieces that employ the playful use of color and imaginative new materials to create some of today’s most striking fashion statements.

Rüdiger celebrates Germany’s rich watchmaking history. In Germany, watchmakers have a reputation for superb engineering and impeccable craftsmanship. It is no surprise that German watches are characterized by their durability and precise tolerances. Rüdiger timepieces, each named after a different city in Germany, bring modern manufacturing techniques and movements to the straightforward clean lines that have long been associated with German design. The result is affordable and authentic designs that are meant to be worn every day.
