GRANDPA'S POCKET WATCH
/
Tissot
There seems to be an anti smart watch movement going on! Those who did not inherit a pocket watch from their grandfather have the opportunity to get one now. Many Swiss luxe watch makers have re-introduced pocket watches that can be clipped onto anything or stand up on a desktop. Designs vary from authentic-looking vintage to elaborate hunting scenes to totally sleek and contemporary. And, by the way, it’s a unisex trend!
