The elegant new Mirrored Force Resonance combines the…
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…
Those who know me, know that my young 24-year-old son quit college several years ago to become a police officer. He moved to Georgia, where officers do not need a four-year college degree. He spent months at the Academy and became an exemplary police officer. Then, just about six months ago, he and his best…

Back in January when the SIHH took place, the Jaeger-LeCoutlre Master Grande Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetuel watch was top on everybody’s list of best watches from the show.
