This HD video was shot in March during the 2010 Baselworld show. Baselworld is the largest watch and jewelry show in the world. A total of 6 Halls and "the Palace" take up 525,000 square feet of exhibition space, and feature hundreds and hundreds of the world's best watch and jewelry brands. The brands setup extravagant booths, some three stories tall (in Hall 1), to show off their newest novelties. Over 100,000 visitors attend the show each year, including retailers and international press. (Baselworld 2011 is March 24th-March 31st)

Brussels based video producer, Bastien Roger, shot this video using a Canon 7D video DLSR, and created all shots handheld. All of the footage was taken inside the main watch halls (Hall 1, Hall 1.1 and the Palace).

Ben over at Hodinkee has been shooting some really nice 720P HD watch videos lately, and I could not resist posting at least of few of them. These were actually taken in Geneva, at the Geneva Time Exhibition that ran concurrently with SIHH 2010. Not sure if Linde Werlin and Jean Dunand will be exhibiting at Baselworld 2010, but they did exhibit in Basel last year, so hopefully they will attend again. The Jean Dunand video is below, just hit the "MORE" link.

This video shows the CX Swiss Military Dive Chronograph going through extreme durability tests. High-pressure water from an airport fire truck could not break the case or crystal. Shotgun blasts at close range could not penetrate. And even explosives powerful enough to destroy a car could not pierce the case. But maybe the most significant test, was the test the video does not even show. The water-resistance test. For this test, the watch passed with flying colors. In fact, this is the world's first mechanical timepiece to withstand a depth of 20,000 feet. (Note: There are numerous quartz watches which can go deeper here.)
