This past January H. Moser & Cie. entered the smart watch debate with a dumb watch. Dumb as in: not linked to a smart phone and/or app. Now there's an update, the Swiss Alp Watch S. The update in question being the smoky-blue dial.
To celebrate the legacy of the original and iconic Polo watch from 1979 the watch house with launches a new watch, for a new generation. The collection is composed of the automatic Piaget Polo and the Piaget Polo S Chronograph.
0024 WatchWorld looks back to the past, when innovative watches were being created that proved to have great influence on the development of the watch industry. We follow the trail of these milestones by reminiscing with the use of old advertising campaigns. In this twelfth episode we would like to take you back to 1935, when Sir Malcolm Campbell was setting speed records in his Bluebird, wearing a Rolex Oyster on his wrist.
This animated film has been created to tell the fabulous story of the HUB9005.H1.PN.1 movement, a classic motor and the unique design of its sapphire case. The MP-05 "LaFerrari" was inspired by the car of the same name, and its evolution – the MP-05 "LaFerrari" Sapphire – has been inspired
With the introduction of the Heritage Black Bay in 2012 Tudor hit the bull’s-eye. In one fell swoop the sister brand of the mighty Rolex stopped being a producer of wallflowers and instead became the manufacturer of a desirable diver’s watch that captured all eyes. All the commotion surrounding Tudor drew away attention from the stoically operating Rolex. Has Tudor become cooler than Rolex?
Monsieur de Chanel is the latest men’s watch from the iconic French house of Chanel. The sophisticated new addition is subtle, restrained and refined; it simply drips savoir faire. But before ‘monsieur’ received its accoutrements it took five long years of working on its skeleton and beating heart.

On the eve of BaselWorld 2015 Omega, in a separate location, introduced the Globemaster. The watch raised some eyebrows with respect to its appearance - particularly the ‘fluted bezel’ that was very reminiscent of a model used by its major competitor - but also generated whistles of admiration when it came to its movement technology, as the Globemaster is a kind of super-chronometer. The watch is the very first to be fitted with the tested and approved METAS-certified movement. BaselWorld 2016 is the stage for a new super-chronometer that is a chronograph as well - a super-chronochronometer maybe?
During BaselWorld Oris presented the maison’s first bronze diver’s watch: the Carl Brashear Limited Edition. The watch, based on the Oris Divers Sixty-Five, commemorates a man who overcame racial discrimination and, later in his career, a physical handicap as well. We are talking about Carl Brashear (1931 – 2006), the first African-American Master Diver of the American Navy. We talked to his son Phillip about the legacy of his father.
