September seems to be a particularly popular month for watch news. Press releases from various manufacturers land in my inbox almost every day. The Christmas season is clearly just around the corner. Since I can’t report all the watch news here, here is a small selection of the… let’s say… most eye-catching watches 🙂 Short and sweet with the most important information, garnished with one or two “good to know” – aka fun facts 🙂
