2017 Favorites We have reached that time of year that excites watch fans everywhere. It is the Comic-Con of watches. It is the center ring in a circus. Welcome to Baselworld.  We now live in an age when we don't really need watches. Anyone can pull out their phone to check the time, and these phones can do much more than just that.
