Hess Luzern TWO.2 Diamond Dust Watch Review
Hess Uhren Luzern is a newer Swiss watch brand hailing out of the historic city of Lucerne, having been founded by a husband and wife team. Judith and watchmaker husband Walter Hess are aiming for a timeless, conservative watch style that has a little bit of pizazz for the wearer.

Though for most people who are familiar with Doxa, they will always be the orange-dialed (or black) dive watch brand. A new collection called the Doxa Shark Ceramica XL is offered as a limited edition and attempts to offer a fresh look to the classic marquee. They are actually revisions on what I believe was an Asia-only collection from a few years ago calle
