Few topics are as likely to induce eye-twitching spasms in horology’s true believers than the the old chestnut, “Is the Apple Watch a watch?” Well, with the announcement of the Apple Watch Series 4, it seems like Apple might be answering that question in a pretty declarative way.

Like for so many other people, Robin Williams was, and still is, a hero of mine.

A Swiss watch is a near-universally recognised symbol for quality, precision and tradition.
