Is META Watch Pursuing A Patent On All Analog/Digital Dial Smartwatches?
META Watch was co-founded by Bill Geiser, who earned his watch industry stripes while working at Fossil. Whatever you might say about Fossil products, what you need to know is that it is run by some extremely smart and professional people out of its Dallas, Texas, headquarters. Geiser went on to be one of the earliest proponents of modern smart watches. According to him, he has been wearing a Bluetooth connected watch for about five years now ¨C perhaps the only one wearing one for so long. Today, Bill Geiser is the CEO of META Watch that recently released the Frank Nuovo-designed M1 smartwatch collection (hands-on here, with interview). Frank Nuovo is a former head of design at Nokia and designed the M1 collection ¨C which I thought was actually pretty interesting.Anyhow, even though META is putting considerable resources behind the M1 smartwatch collection, it is only the start of what Bill feels are a series of major evolutionary steps for the smartwatch industry. META doesn't just wa

Patek Philippe SA Chairman Thierry Stern Says China Overinvestment Is a Mistake
(By Tom Mulier - Bloomberg News)Basel - Switzerland - March 2011Patek Philippe SA Chairman Thierry Stern said Swiss watchmakers that concentrate investment in China are making a mistake as the market will eventually slow.“I’m not putting all my eggs in the same basket,” Stern said in an interview at the world’s largest watch fair in Basel, Switzerland, yesterday. “It’s a big mistake I think that a few brands are doing by going only in China. They focus everything on China and it’s dangerous.”The Chinese buy about half of the watches sold worldwide either in their home market, in Hong Kong or while traveling abroad, Jon Cox, an analyst at Kepler Capital Markets, estimates. Exports of Swiss watches to China rose 57 percent to 1.1 billion Swiss francs ($1.2 billion) in 2010 and shipments to Hong Kong, where many rich Chinese buy watches to avoid the country’s luxury taxes, rose 47 percent to 3.19 billion francs, according to the Federa

5712/1A or 5524G
So...Which one would you get... ?I like them both, but unlikely I can afford/justify both...The 5524 is For me a more useful complication in the travel time.. it¡¯s also probably more unique but at the same time less Patel like.The 5512 (edit 5712) is everything the 5711 is but more and arguably harder to get than the 5524 or perhaps better to say more in demand.Maybe that will change with the planned increase.It¡¯s also more my style ie steel bracelet watch although wita my subs I generally wear non PCL bracelets.I¡¯m not generally a suit wearer and am usually more casually dressed.. hence why I¡¯m drawn to the 5524 it¡¯s less likely to be as obvious..And less noticed by clients and other staff... (which is important to me)That said when I do wear suits To client meetings I don¡¯t have anything other than subs and sea dwellers that look clean and simple (sold my Daytona as never wore it...) hence why I was considering a classic nautilus piece...AD will put me on a list for either due to wha

To Wind or Not To Wind...
Good evening, all! I'm new here and I'm sure there are past posts about this, but I thought I would ask all of you. To wind or not to wind? I currently have an 116610LN, 116718BLNR, and a PAM01320 along with a Wolf Meridian Triple Watch Winder. Would appreciate and love any opinions and advice. Thank you in advance!
