Hands-On With The H. Moser & Cie Swiss Alp Watch As It Enters Final Production Runs
First introduced about four years ago, the H. Moser & Cie Swiss Alp watch is now nearing its final production runs. While it may have been conceived as a parody of the Apple Watch, the rectangle-cased Swiss Alp gained popularity within the (admittedly self-selecting) group of watch enthusiasts who appreciate this brand of wit and watchmaking.

He gained his fortune improving of all things, thermostats. You can read more about him here. About seven years ago he began the development of this clock which he half paid for himself at a total cost of about one million English Pounds. Although this amount seems high, you have to take
