SIHH 2016: The H. Moser Swiss Alp Watch
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.

Reclaiming The Diamond: Not Just For Women
The question “What makes a women’s watch” is about as easy to answer as the question “What makes a woman”. In other words, there isn’t an answer, unless we stick to the naïve methods of differentiating by external, biological or anatomical terms. Now, we are intelligent, sentient beings whose personalities transcend the limits of gender. […]

Following that, H. Moser & Cie. had decidedRead More
