Haute Horologerie has just launched a new "Jobs" section on their wristwatch website. I checked it out and they do not have lots of openings listed right now, but you can find jobs from California and New York all the way to Geneva. Great idea as industry specific jobs sites seem to be a growing trend, this helps companies better connect with the people who possess the exact skills they need.

Designer John Pszeniczny has recently released these images of two very unique and desirable concept watches. The wristwatch (top picture) is called the F1 Carbon GMT watch and the one (pictured below) is called the Luna watch. These watches are very cool, but at this point they are still only "concepts". I hope they make it to the production stage, but only time will tell.

MGI Luxury Group (Movado watches) took over the Hugo Boss wristwatch license in 2004 and they re-launched the brand at BaselWorld 2006. They have come up with several collections: Boss Black, Boss Orange, Boss Green and Hugo. The "Hugo" line has not yet been introduced, although it sounds like they are planning a 2009 Baselworld intro. They have been able to combine some costs to provide a lower cost to consumers, which is definitely necessary when you are dealing with a watch brand with so little watch history. Overall they look nice, but I really wonder if they will ever have the same appeal as their fashion line.
