A new store specializing in upscale Swiss watches is the newest tenant in the Ballston Common Mall. Watchstyle opened in November just before the holiday season. Owner, Eric Kim says Watchstyle offers Swiss-made watches that aren't the most recognizable brands, but, as a former Liljenquist & Beckstead watch buyer, he says the products he offers are of "equal or better" quality and more affordable. Watchstyle's watches start at around $200 with Mondaine styles and go up from there. Kim said he's the only Mondaine dealer in Virginia. He also offers watches from brands like Ball and Maurice Lacroix.

Panelists from Ballston companies like DARPA, DHS, Navy and others will share their respective viewpoints and give a glimpse into this emerging technology area, and how nontraditional innovators can advance their technologies in concert with the government. If you are involved in developing drones, robotics or additive manufacturing, this event is for you! Networking and registration begin at 6 and the FREE program will begin at 6:30.
