IWC Introduces The Big Pilot G63 In Armor Hold and Ceramic Matrix Composite
IWC Schaffhausen has been partners with Mercedes and its AMG sub-brand for quite some time now, both through the road cars and its Formula 1 team, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1. The two brands seem to complement each other in multiple ways, often taking style and innovation in new directions. IWC’s flagship model, the iconic Big Pilot is today’s topic of choice for a new set of watches inspired by the military-vehicle-turned-ultra-luxury-SUV by Mercedes, the G-Wagon. IWC has transferred elements of the top-of-the-range Mercedes-AMG G63 onto the new IWC Schaffhausen Big Pilot G63, which comes in two very distinct materials.The new G63 is first and foremost based on the legendary Big Pilot, which means a rather impressive case of 46.5mm in diameter and 14.6mm in height. Naturally, it has a soft-iron inner case to protect it from magnetic forces, as well as sapphire crystals secured against sudden drops in air pressure. What distinguishes the two from the regular Big Pilot collecti

Introducing - Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata, Now with a Subtler Design for 2017
While not new, the concept of the?Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata still is captivating, as being one of the few alarm watches on the market, and one with quite some great features. Indeed, the piece de resistance is the chiming system of this watch, as you’ll get your alarm chiming with a cathedral gong (something usually reserved to super-high-end minute repeaters). Previously introduced in a very “Marine” style, the?Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata is now unveiled in a much subtler version for 2017, and with a steel option.What exactly is the?Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata? Basically, it is an alarm watch, already something you don’t see everyday, to the exception of a few watches from JLC or Vulcain. Yet, this Sonata is not?any kind of alarm watch.?An alarm watch is designed to ring a signal at a defined time – used for a reminder or to wake you up.?Traditional mechanical alarm watches ring by means of a mainspring, tensioned to power a hammer striking on resoun

Hands-on with the IWC Ingenieur Dual Time Titanium ref. IW326403 - Monochrome Watches
One of the Ingenieur models that we haven’t discussed in detail, is the Ingenieur Dual Time Titanium ref.?IW326403. It was launched this January, when IWC introduced the completely “re-engineered” Ingenieur collection. During an IWC event earlier this week we had the chance to get hands-on experience with this robust globetrotter.Until now the focus was aimed at the classical Ingenieur Automatic, the?Ingenieur Chronograph Racer, and the more technical models like the?Ingenieur AMG Black Ceramic and the Ingenieur AMG Double Chronograph Titanium. When it comes to pure practicality, the Ingenieur Dual Time Titanium is probably the best horse of the stable. It’s a perfect travelers watch, something that becomes of more value now we travel the world and have friends, family and business around the globe. Ad - Scroll to continue with article Th

Today, the brand brings new, lightweight versions of its original chronograph with full display of the mechanics. Meet the new Louis Moinet Memoris Titanium.As a reminder, Louis Moinet has a distinguished history in the field of chronographs.

Hysek Verdict 46mm Double Tourbillon Sapphire Dial - Monochrome-Watches
What is the goal of a tourbillon? Improving the accuracy, by?negating the effect of gravity. What is the goal of a double tourbillon? Improving twice this accuracy. As basic?as it seems to be, a double tourbillon is not a simple mechanism. And that’s what Hysek, a brand we didn’t cover yet, choose to introduce this year, in the Verdict 46mm Double Tourbillon Sapphire Dial. And this is not the only feature that comes into this watch.Hysek, for those who don’t know the brand, is quite young as it was founded in 1997. The collection is composed of mainly large and robust timepieces with a strong design but also with highly technical movements, such as tourbillons or skeletonized watches. What appeals us is the fact that in 2007, they build their own manufacture where these watches are now designed, developed and crafted. Something that should attracts you?if you are reading us quite often! Ad - Scroll to continue with article
