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.

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.
