The good thing about watch collecting is that it’s completely race agnostic – crossing any perceived cultural and language barriers. But being able to read and soak up knowledge about the latest and greatest watches in a language other than your first can be a pain at times – and especially so in Asia! WeRead More

Last year, H. Moser CEO made a cheeky poke at the Smart Watch genre with their pre-Basel sneak peak announcement that they too will be in the game. And revealed the Moser Perpetual 1 as the smart watch…semantically, quite correct, though not quite what the industry watchers were expecting. This year, he pulls off yet anotherRead More

Lacquer must hold mystical powers, as those who have ever admired a fine Russian lacquer box or an Urushi fountain pen will know. Captivating in it’s presence by textures or drawings, yet always finished to perfection with that glossy surface that shows off a soft glow. The stories surrounding the art of lacquer are often […]

Today started off fast and furious with four serious runners from Gucci and Movado Group waiting on the Mittlerer Rheinbrücke bridge at 6:30 am this morning. They had not been partying quite as hard as I had, and two of them had just taken part in a marathon, so it was a tough run, but […]

Hublot is an amazing company…in the early days, they pushed innovation with scented rubber straps…which even today, is an interesting concept.
