"It was extremely well organised and it worked its magic for us once again."

Vice president of Chopard Karl-Friedrich Scheufele added that the success of the conference can be used as a barometer for the rest of the year.

"We do a large proportion of our business in Basel and get together with our clients and the press from all over the world," he added.
