Europa Star dates back to 1927 when Hugo Buchser, its founder, was a young and enthusiastic entrepreneur with a passion for watches. He launched a guide for watch buyers which soon became an essential tool for the entire watch industry. A seasoned traveller and globetrotter, he voyaged around the world, creating a network of magazines which would promote the watch industry worldwide.

The first series of magazines was created in Brazil and Argentina, and by the 1950s a variety of magazines sprouted up in English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Thai and Cyrillic, progressively covering most of the world’s continents.

Under the leadership of Gilbert Maillard-Buchser, who became President of Hugo Buchser SA in 1962, all the magazines were grouped under the Europa Star brand name to cover all the international watch markets and transform Europa Star into a truly worldwide publishing company.

Thus, Europa Star quickly became the leader of the watch industry’s specialized press and the worldwide expansion of the magazines was extraordinary, making it a phenomenon in the specialized Swiss watch industry press.

In 1995, the third generation of the family, brothers Philippe and Pierre Maillard took over the helm of the company and Europa Star became part of the multinational group United News & Media / Miller Freeman (later on VNU - Nielsen).

In 2010, full ownership of Europa Star returned to the Maillard-Buchser family, with Philippe Maillard as Managing Director and Pierre Maillard as Editor-in-Chief, respecting full continuity of the international publishing activities initiated in 1927 by the founder Hugo Buchser.

In 2014, the fourth generation came on board and is now headed by Serge Maillard, Publisher & CEO of Europa Star, bringing a youthful spirit and a fresh impetus with new developments in all our products, in print and in the digital field.

Today Europa Star reaches 174 countries through its network of renewed publications of magazines and websites.
