HANDS ON: the elegant double act of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Moon
As far as origin stories go, the Reverso has one of the best. Back in the 1930s, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most famous model was conceived to withstand the rigours of polo, thanks to its ingenious flip-over case design. When the mallets started swinging and balls went flying, the watch could safely bury its face until the action … ContinuedThe post HANDS ON: the elegant double act of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Moon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Event Report: Stephen Silver State of Independence Silicon Valley
About two months ago, I wrote about the state of wrist affairs in Watches of the Silicon Valley. In the article, we confirmed the unsurprising SV stereotypes with the array of Apple watches and Fitbits. Just go up to the city and you will see the sad state of Union Square watch boutiques. Look down in the peninsula and you won't even see a sensible retailer. Or so I thought.
