Last week, as part of our Geneva Time Exhibition Special Report, we yielded the microphone to several key exhibitors at the show. This week, we hand over the stage to some of the watch industry’s best known bloggers. We’re talking about men and women like Grégory Pons, Frank Geelen, Meehna Goldsmith, Ian Ellery and Timm Delfs. All significant influencers in their own right – and really cool people to boot!.

The best watch bloggers are smart, dynamic, extremely well informed, technically savvy individuals.  They’re respected in the industry, which means they have access. And they have a big picture view of the industry, via constant exposure to so many brands, customers, and markets. This frees them from the blinders many brands – ourselves included – often sport. They are, first and foremost, the best customer advocates and important bellwethers of the industry.

Knowing this, we were happy to give our friends a voice on the Marvin blog, and grateful that they could spend some time with us at the Marvin GTE stand in this overview:

In the following weeks, we will be posting each blogger’s individual interview. See them share their GTE experience and insights on upcoming 2011 horology trends right here on Backstage starting next week.
