Swiss Alp Watch

Yet another smartwatch? Look again, retorts H. Moser & Cie, proud of its ruse. Its white gold silhouette may bear more than a passing resemblance to the Apple Watch design, this Swiss Alp Watch is content to measure the hours, minutes and seconds, and indicate the remaining power reserve. Behind the scenes, beneath the lovely fumé dial that is a hallmark of H. Moser & Cie, there are no electronics and certainly no apps for phone calls, playing music or picking up email. There is, however, a 100% Swiss Made, manual-winding, in-house movement with a 100-hour power reserve. Mounted on an elegant kudu leather strap with a green leather lining, the softly rounded, rectangular case is fast becoming an emblem of traditional watchmaking's refusal to bow down to the connected watch.
