Hi strap lovers. \u00a0I think a visit to the great city of Basel is always a wonderful experience, But for a watch lover the world over, going to Basel in Springtime means only on thing – Baselworld watch fair! \u00a0Andrea and I are fortunate to live just a few short hours away, making the trip a very practical one to visit some watch industry friends and see all the new offering from most of the top brands.
\nSome of my favorite offerings in terms of presentation and interesting strap designs are from U-Boat this year.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Great to see U-Boat really getting into interesting strap design for their Collection:<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zenith Watches have always been a favorite of mine and I’m really loving their new Pilot Collection watches. \u00a0Great watches with a genuinely rich heritage, these watches reach back to the early 20th Century brand DNA to design a collection that looks stunning :<\/div>\n

I’ve always had a love for Chronoswiss watches even before I learned that the brand was founded right here in Munich. \u00a0Now under the new ownership of\u00a0Oliver and Eva Ebstein<\/span>\u00a0and having moved their production and headquarters to Switzerland, they are\u00a0still building great looking watches adding some great fresh design elements while at the same time, honoring the brand DNA given to it by\u00a0Gerd-R\u00fcdiger Lang since its founding in 1982. \u00a0I’m looking forward to seeing many wonderful and unique watches coming form Chronoswiss.<\/p>\n

We made a bit of a pit stop in Zurich in the way home which we’ll share with you as well \u00a0Zurich in an interesting place with a charming old city section that dates from the middle ages along side beautiful wide boulevards of the 18 and 19th Century sections. \u00a0We spent most of our time wondering the old city section.<\/p>\n
