H. Moser & Cie's latest Swiss Alp Watch showcases a very familiar design. Inspired by the popular Apple Watch, this brilliant timepiece gives the fan favorite a luxurious makeover.
Created as a "statement" against the rise in smartwatch consumption, the Swiss Alp Watch is here to prove that "traditional mechanical watchmaking has a future, and is, in fact, the future." Upon first glance, viewers will notice the 38 mm model, thin lugs and narrow band are very similar -- if not the exact same -- as Apple's dominating smartwatch. However, unlike the Apple Watch, the Swiss Alp Watch is an analog timepiece with a regular face and moving parts.
Though this watch is inspired by the iconic smartwatch, the Swiss Alp Watch operates like a regular timepiece without apps or smart features.
