IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Titanium IW381802 (Specs & Price)
Surprising changes occurred when IWC decided to revamp its iconic Ingenieur collection in 2016. For one, the robust “Genta-esque” case was abandoned and replaced with the original design of the 1960s models. Among the inaugural models were some 3-hand watches and chronographs. And on top of the range was the complex Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month, combining a QP and a flyback chronograph. This watch, available until now only in gold with a white dial, now comes in a new, lighter, more casual version with a grey dial and titanium case under ref. IW381802.The new version that IWC is introducing today is nothing more than an update of colours and materials, as all the specifications and mechanical parts are identical.

Introducing The Summery Hublot Big Bang Unico Sky Blue
Hublot has forged its identity on a fusion of state-of-the-art materials and extroverted watches, personified by the Big Bang collection. Similar to the differences between the original Royal Oak and the beefier, more aggressive temperament of the Royal Oak Offshore, Hublot's original Classic Fusion of 1980 was fed a steady diet of testosterone to grow in stature and become the bigger and bolder Big Bang in 2005. Hosting a wide array of complications, the Big Bang Unico sub-collection is equipped with Hublot's fully integrated in-house chronograph complication. In light of the upcoming summer months, the Big Bang Unico appears in a Sky Blue ceramic case and matching rubber strap.Colourful ceramicAs a precursor in the use of colourful high-tech ceramic cases since 2019 (with unusual colours like yellow and red), Hublot delivers its summery 100m water-resistant Big Bang Unico in a 42mm light blue ceramic case decorated with satin-finished and polished surfaces. With a thickness of 14.5mm

We love complications, hand-finished movements or anything that stands out of the crowd (meaning independent watchmaking).
