The Wearables Arrive: The Scoop on All the New Smartwatches From Baselworld 2015
According to an old joke, Albert Einstein once said that he wanted to die in Switzerland, not elsewhere, ¡°because everything happens 20 years later there.¡± This year, Baselworld proved Einstein wrong: the array of smartwatches on display proved the Swiss can be as up-to-date as anyone. Here¡¯s a rundown of some of the smartwatches that debuted, or whose upcoming debut was announced, at this year’s Baselworld watch fair (most, but not all, come from Swiss brands):? Sister brands Fr¨¦d¨¦rique Constant and Alpina both showed analog watches that connect with apps on an Apple or Android phone, enabling the wearer to track his or her physical activity and sleep.

Ladoire RGT "Origin Of The Sun" Piece Unique Watch
As an homage to Japan and to raise some charity money, Ladoire has produced this piece unique version of their Roller Guardian Time (RGT) watch.

Customer Service
Hello folks. I'm new and just registered today. I was looking for a nice winder and happen to come across the WTF. I did some research here and decided to go with Orbita Corporation based on customer service and product satisfaction from posters. Well I talked to Kevin and Donna and ordered the sparta 2 winder. When it was ready to be shipped Cheryl emailed me and I also talked to her and she will be sending the winder fed-ex 2 day service. To my delight she did an overnight shipping and I got the winder the following day. Thanks Cheryl. Naturally I was very pleased with the winder's construction and looks and pricing. After a couple of days using it I noticed that the left winder is making a lot of whirling noise and I then called Kevin for advice.

I then called and informed Cheryl about the problem and she told me that they will take care of it and the next thing I know the shop manager
