Introducing IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 Steel bracelet IW358312
With over 80 years of existence, the IWC Portugieser is amongst the brand’s most emblematic models, if not its most praised watch ever. A watch that has been introduced during the 1930s, it came back on the market during the 1990s and has been the elegant, sporty-chic proposition of the Schaffhausen-based brand ever since. Countless editions have been created, with all possible complications, but simplicity is a form that suits the model well. Nothing better than a sleek chronograph or an elegant small seconds display. The latter, in its smaller version launched just over a year ago, resurfaces today in a sportier, more casual full-steel attire, with the new reference IW358312, the IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 on Steel Bracelet.?For several years, the overall concept of the Portugieser has been rather straightforward.

Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm Infinity Edition for Wempe
In addition to its main 2020 novelty, the Free Bridge, Girard-Perregaux also benefits from the Geneva Watch Days to announce an exclusive distribution agreement with retailer Wempe across Germany. To celebrate this partnership, the brand is unveiling a special version of its steel sports watch with integrated bracelet fitted with a handsome black onyx dial, initially available exclusively from the German retailer. Meet the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm “Infinity Edition”.Even though it was only recently re-launched – first in 2016 with limited editions, followed by serial production models in 2017 – the Girard-Perregaux Laureato was, in 1975, amongst the first luxury sports watches along with the 1972 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and before the Patek Philippe Nautilus. The modern collection sticks to the original concept and design and boasts all the attributes of a luxury sports watch: a shaped stainless steel case; a complex faceted bezel; a textured dial; a thi

2018 was the year of the ultra-thin watch. No debate! Piaget and Bvlgari, which engaged in the battle for ultra-thin?a couple of years ago, literally smashed one record after another in less than two months. The final word, however, went to the Roman brand, which introduced the ultra-impressive Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic at Baselworld 2018. After winning the thinness record, Bvlgari has decided to play on the weight of the watch. While not breaking lightness records, the new Carbon version of this watch makes it as light as a feather.March 2017, Baselworld: Bvlgari introduces the Octo Finissimo Automatic, with a 5.15mm thin case (the thinnest automatic on the market).

It's Sunday, a perfect day to choose the color of your dress watch - Monochrome Watches
Dress watch dials rarely venture beyond white, silver or black. A classic dress watch with a white dial and black leather strap is as formal as it gets (and it is most often a man's first dress watch). Blue is also a fairly safe option that can be worn in nearly every circumstance. But, these do not have to be the only colors - especially if you are confident in your ability to carry off colors, or perhaps like to stand out. We’ve taken a look at three colored-dial dress watches.Jaeger-LeCoultre - Master Ultra Thin Small Seconds SteelJaeger-LeCoultre brings a touch of color to its Master Ultra Thin Small Seconds.

Another pre-SIHH release today and one that has long been expected.

I’m pleased that Panerai decided to make a similar watch available to more Panerai collectors (the PAM00427 SE was limited to 500 pieces), by introducing a similar model in the Specialties Collection. Say hi to the new Panerai Luminor 1950 Rattrapante 8 Days Titanio 47mm PAM00530.
