A brand that could have really gone places, kind of lost its way. Their triple time zone ( Master Banker) watch with independent time setting functionality (to the minute) was far ahead of its time ; and so were a few other complications they created. One of the earliest independents that faded away.

may jump hour watches we don't see many FM either. I like some of his watches but sure lost respect for him when he was involved in the "movement scandal" several years ago, He was using cheap, junk movements in his watches and passing them off as high end movements.
