What about other devices such as the iPhone (that already uses some sapphire crystal parts)? We know Apple is working on a watch, but no one is quite clear on what it will look or be like. We?wrote about the iWatch almost a year ago predicting its release before there was even confirmed news about it.

Marvin Malton Cushion Chronograph Watch Hands-On

These Marvin Malton Cushion Chronograph models follow suit, and how about that little inner ring of red? Solid detail if you ask me.
