Concord C1 Big Date Radar
Concord says the new C1 Big Date Radar is “endowed with a rugged look, a strong character and a distinctive personality.” They have a point.

PetStraps: Pet Companion Love Lives On... Your Wrist
PetStraps is here to ease the grief of a lost loved one. This revolutionary new concept re-purposes retired pets for eternal life on your wrist. Petting his PetStraps watch strap with a familiar fondness and with a tear running down his face, the company's founder tells us how he started the company after the unfortunate loss of his best rodent friend."I thought he was sleeping, but after he didn't respond to me shaking his cage, I knew something was wrong."

The fact that Hutter is possibly the only woman in history to create and lead an independent watchmaker is but just one factor of what makes this Glashütte-based brand one worth watching. The other factors – the development and production of in-house calibers, attractive teutonic aesthetics, and the use of novel materials in movement construction (like human hair and self-lubricating guaiacum wood) – makes us wonder whether the glut of good watches coming out of this region is a coincidence, or if there is truly something special in the water in Glashütte. Thinking Around The Corner 2 OF 17 Christine Hutter, Founder and CEO of Moritz Grossmann Everything has already been done. Sometimes you have to think around the corner to find a sol
