: Having visited Baselworld...I can tell from my personal experience.
: 3 brands really earn respect...

: 1. SEIKO: Best cases, dials and hands around...quality of finish is
: above 90% (at least) of the rest of the Swiss watchbrands, even
: Rolex is less quality in terms of case finish and dials (Rolex
: was really disappointing). I was really surprised but then again
: Seiko has been on the top already long time...undervalued for
: sure.

: 2. Zenith: Again top quality in movements and certainly in case
: finish...I really don't understand why they are still so
: relatively cheap when we compare with other Swiss brands.

: 3. Eberhard: Longines did great with their re-issue (but not as
: great as Jaeger a while ago with their tribute to the Deep Sea,
: still the best re-issue around), and now Eberhard has beaten
: them with their re-issue of the Contograf, really stunning and
: it's worthwhile to visit the website from Eberhard!

: Ofcourse...all my personal opinion...also Vulcain brought some nice
: watches with great vintage touch!

: TAG Heuer disappointed in some (most) ways. However my personal
: opinion is they will be right with their take on the smartwatch
: (smart move commercially seen)....please note I will probably
: never buy such at thing but I can understand they see some huge
: potential in that market!

: Best TAG Heuer was definitely the Carbon V4 Monaco...really a piece
: of art and breathtaking. I actually wonder how Guy Sémon is
: actually positioned towards this "high tech"
: innovations related to the smartwatch...spoke to him 2 or 3
: years ago when they were still in full involvement with
: "Haute Horlogerie"...must be a disappointment now I
: guess...

: Best,
: abel.

Thanks Abel to have pointed out the quality of the Eberhard website. A magic moment !
