Just a few days ago, I spoke at length via Zoom with Guillaume Tetu, head of watches for Ralph Lauren (and a long-time friend), regarding a new collection for the watch division: Polo Ralph Lauren. While the Polo line has been part of the legendary brand for decades, this marks the first time a formal…
Today’s watch brands understand the necessity for getting involved in trying to save our planet. Many brands are working in partnership with eco-friendly organizations that are trying to save our water, our oceans, our forests and wildlife. One brand that took a step in a slightly different direction — focusing on a USA partnership —…
Typical of H. Moser & Cie, the independent Swiss brand regularly creates some statement-making timepiece that demonstrates its ability to think outside the box. In the past, we have witnessed the Swiss Alps watch that was a statement about Smart watches, the Swiss Mad Watch with a case made of Swiss cheese watch that makes…
