How does everyone feel about the stunt Moser pulled at the Swiss watch industry earlier this week? Unfortunately, I think it backfired on them, mostly because they aimed their message at the wrong crowd.
Ultimately, I liked the message but I think they missed their target. Instead of insulting authentic Swiss watch manufacturers with a studied history, they should've aimed their message at all the so-called "Swiss" watch micro-brands popping twice a day on GoFundMe or KickStarter producing 'homage' and/or blatant rip-offs instead of trying to come up with a design and brand story that is their own.
The watch is indeed pretty ugly!
