Bulova, founded in New York in 1875, has strong ties<br />
to space exploration. A Bulova worn by astronaut<br />
Dave Scott during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971 sold<br />
for $1.6 million in 2015. This stunning re-issue edition<br />
is a total steal, and has the look and feel of a much<br />
more expensive piece, with some impressive history to<br />
it. The high frequency quartz movement allows for<br />
accuracy that is good within seconds per year. The low<br />
price on this beauty is almost unbelievable<br />
Smartwatches are often far less<br />
attractive than their mechanical<br />
counterparts, but this number<br />
from Alpina, founded in<br />
Switzerland in 1883, mates high<br />
tech to classic looks. It’s really<br />
something of a hybrid. The watch<br />
monitors sleep patterns and<br />
physical activity if you want it to<br />
and automatically adjusts to<br />
different time zones, interfacing<br />
with an app on your smartphone.<br />
Even if you lose the data it will<br />
automatically restore itself from<br />
a backup.<br />
