Top 10 Watches Of Baselworld 2015
Baselworld 2015 came and went seemingly faster than previous Baselworld watch trade shows. Maybe that is because team watches-dealer met with so many brands, hour after hour, for a solid week.

More so, we took the time to learn what smaller independent watch makers were doing to innovate and add variety to the world of not only mechanical timepieces, but also some interesting new electronic and smartwatches.Team watches-dealer at Baselworld 2015; from left to right: David Bredan, James Stacey, Ariel Adams �C with Mark Carson
