Is A Garmin Going To Be Your Next Smartwatch? CES 2015 Watch Lineup Looks Strong
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015, smartwatches were unsurprisingly a dominating area of new products from both establishes companies and ones new to the game. Garmin looks to be leading the pack with an unprecedented array of new smartwatches ranging from the top-of-the-line Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire and Epix, to the various "Vivo" products (vivofit 2, vivosmart, vivoactive) that are wearable activity tracking and notification bracelets. More on those in a bit.Garmin vivofit Style Collection Signature SeriesAn initial inspection of what was debuted in terms of smartwatches at CES 2015 doesn't actually show huge amounts of technological innovation, but rather a great focus on fitness wearables and products that people who are even remotely design conscious want to wear. One lesson that brands are learning is that wearables that merely serve as phone notification devices aren't extremely interesting. Having said that, companies are still including phone notification functions in

The Black Belt Watch, Only For People With Black Belts
This watch comes with a great back story. A tale of a man they called crazy. A tale of a man, who probably is crazy, but we can all love him for that. It all started with Romain Jerome and their previous 'lord & ruler,' Yvan Arpa. The watch community generally has the perception that Yvan Arpa is a bit of aneccentric. One who creates ideas that are pretty wild. Half the time the ideas work, the other times, they most surely don't. One example of a failed idea was an all rusted watch (on the outside) enclosed in a hermetically sealed glass case. The idea was that once the glass was broken, the watch inside was guaranteed to work. To make a long story short, once some wild and wealthy people bought and subsequently broke the glass, the watch did not work at all - having been totally rusted through.Other ideas do work, such as Yvan's Titanic DNA watch for Romain Jerome. The watches worked so well, that they not only saved the dying Romain Jerome brand a few years ago, but catapulted i

Patek Philippe Museum - Geneva
I was under the misperceptions that the museum was a special history to PP themselves, but was completely mistaken! Covering 3 floors it's dedicated to horology as a whole. One floor shows the various benches, engraving machines, chain making etc of a typical workshop and has a resident watch maker that you can observe through glass. He is only present during the week.The next floor has a collection of over 1000 pieces from the earliest watches, automoters and ink chronographs. It was fascinating to see that the first chronograph actually dropped ink on the dial that you would then read off and clean. I thoroughly enjoyed the automations in particular a tiny hummingbird that fully moved wings, neck and beak and couldn't have been bigger than 2cm. To think that level of craftsmanship was available in those times wis mind boggling.We then have a floor dedicated to PP. That includes all the enamel watches and clocks and the journey of their different models and relationship with Tiffany a
