François Thiébaud, president of the swiss exhibitors committee, tells Baselshows about the global trade show’s benefits for them. This interview it was made by Baselworld Daily News and you can download it.
BWDN: Mr. Thiébaud, why is Basel world so important to its Swiss exhibitors, especially the smaller ones?
François Thiébaud: a lot of eyes, not only here, but worldwide, look at baselworldfortrendsandnew products, thanks to 21st century technology like the internet, blogs or e-commerce. swiss brands are all together here, not only to sell but to be seen and, especially for smaller ones, to be discovered, to share and be inspired.
BS:Digital devices like smart phones or tablets also display time. Can Swiss watches compete?
Actually, the two are different and don’t compete. swiss watches are like fine wine, something special. today, consumers are rediscovering the beauty and emotionality of traditional timepieces, especially mechanical ones. they value the fine craftsmanship and traditions of swiss watchmakers, known for precision and timing.
The increase in Asian visitors and media at Baselworld is apparent. What does that mean for Swiss exhibitors?
Half of the world’s people live in asia, which has many emerging markets. that means people have more money to spend on more things of value. they pay attention to swiss products, especially watches, because they appreciate swiss traditions, craftsmanship and customer service, and know they get high-quality products and real value for their money

Sods —–
Law.
April
—- 2014.
For almost two
decades we have strived to get justice for the injustice we have
suffered at the hands of a world renowned bank— PICTET & CIE.
BANK.
Two yorkshiremen
both running their own small family businesses trying to resolve the
problem by taking all the correct legal procedures to recover their
monies.
The matter was
raised in Parliament – twice– the FSA investigated the matter
concluding that PICTET had rogues operating in their London Bank —
but the rogues had left —saying no one left to prosecute.??? —–
so there.
We then
approached the Financial Ombudsman Service. (FOS) — our case was
dealt with by seven different people —- then our numerous E-Mails
were ignored — nobody would speak to us ——-so there.
We then asked the
SFO ( Serious Fraud Office.) to investigate our case —- the
criteria of our case ticked all their boxes. — we were instructed
not to send them any documents/evidence.—— in fact they wrote to
us advising us to go to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.(CAB.)
Richard Alderman
the SFO boss —- who responded to our letter was the same man who
would not investigate the “ Madoff” scandal or the “Libor”
fiasco.
The MP’s
committee —- said he was sloppy— and the SFO was run like “
Fred Karno’s Circus” —– it was an office of fraud.—– so
there.
Our M.P.
approached our local Chief Constable to investigate—– he was
called—- Sir Norman Bettison— Chief Constable of West Yorkshire
Police —- a force that made “ Dad’s Army” look like the S.A.S.
They were inept – corrupt —malicious — from top to bottom. We
were criminally dealt with by the Forces Solicitor—- the Head of
the Economic Crime Unit —-and the Chief Constable —– so there.
We were then
advised to pass our complaint against West Yorkshire Police to the
I.P.C.C. – which we did — they advised us to make our complaint
to —- the West Yorkshire Police — we did with reluctance — all
we got was abuse and obfuscation. —– so there.
Sir Norman
Bettison —- The Forces solicitor— and the Head of the Economic
Crime —- have all been removed from their posts and facing criminal
allegations.
—— so there.
We even sought
justice through the Courts — culminating in a visit to the Court of
Appeal-London.— On leaving the Courts of Appeal that day our
barrister a “rising star” informed us — that if that was
Justice then you can keep it. He quit the law and moved to Canada
—– so there.
A few years later
we learned that one of the judges in our case at the Court of Appeal
was related to a senior executive of the Pictet Bank —–so there.
Pictet & Cie
.Bank — voted private bank of the year 2013.
Ivan Pictet —-
Voted banker of the year 2012. —- the senior partner — lied on
numerous occasions and had documents destroyed — also said genuine
documents were forgeries. —– so there.
Ivan Pictet in
Oct. 2013 —- Given the Legion of Honour — but saying that —-
honours were given to Hitler — Eichmann — Mussolini —Franco
— he’s in fitting company. —-so there.
MONTY
RAPHAEL.Q.C. — Peters & Peters.London. They were the banks
lawyers.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. along with Ivan Pictet withheld crucial documents
requested by the High Court —- the FSA —- and the police Fraud
Squad. —-so there.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became an Honorary Queens Counsellor in March. 2012.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became a Master of the Bench in Nov.2012.
An expert in
Fraud —the Doyen of Fraud Lawyers. —– so there.
This says a lot
about Banks — the consensus of opinion is that they are highly paid
“crooks” —- no wonder they voted Ivan Pictet banker of the
year.
It appears that
crimes in the “establishment.” are honoured by their peers.
“HONOURS
AMONG THIEVES.”

2013
— Jan.— Swiss MP’ table motion to freeze Tiab Mahmud’s assets of
” criminal origins”
held
in Swiss banks – $18 million held in 5 accounts at Pictet &
Cie. Bank. Bahamas.
Ironically
the Pictet & Cie.Bank partners are bigger criminals than the
criminals who have accounts in the their bank.
The
bank is now seeking to re-structure — to cut the partners liability
– hoping to off load their decades of criminal responsibilty –
and move onwards to carry out new crimes. The Germans are right —
the bankers should go to prison if found guilty of financial crimes..
Both Ivan Pictet
and Monty Raphael.Q.C. conspired to withhold crucial documents
requested by the High Court – the FSA — and the Police Fraud
Squad.
Written
Parliamentary Questions received by the table office ..
(1) To ask the
secretary of state what steps he is taking to ensure that Swiss Banks
such as Pictet & Cie do not evade criminal prosecution under EU
law even when the illegal act is committed by a London based
subsidiary.
(2)To ask the
secretary of state what steps he is taking to protect the rights of
UK citizens who seek redress following criminal activities by Swiss
banks with subsidiary offices located in London.
Quote.
( America’s Top Lawyer .)
You can be
the richest man in the world with the best lawyers that money can buy
but you cannot win against a man who has got nothing left to lose and
is telling the truth.
*** We
note that there has been a sharp increase in Peters & Peters
partners leaving to go to other practices. Moving does not alleviate
them of any responsibility from any illegalities that may have
occurred at Peters & Peters during their partnership tenure. From
1999 onwards.
The consensus of
opinion is the Pictet & Cie should be prosecuted , and that their
U.K. banking licence should be taken away.
Their Solicitors at
Peters & Peters .London “ struck off and prosecuted..”
*** Started
campaign — June 6th.2008.
5years —- approx
10 .5 million e-mails – – – but still no writs, injunctions or
threats of litigation – – – WHY – – – because it is all true.
*** . The
bigger they are — the harder they fall.!!!
In America —- they would have
all been in prison for the last seven years.
Feb 2013,—
Pictet & Cie Bank Partners remove their unlimited liability.They
realise that all their personal wealth is at risk , the people they
have conned might want their money back.

All
the fines that crooked Swiss banks have incurred in the last few

£450 Billion.( paid out of your monies.)
The
