Hands-On: The Powerful Yet Surprisingly Lightweight IWC Big Pilot AMG G 63
Last year, IWC unveiled a pair of Big Pilot watches inspired by the iconic Mercedes G-Class, particularly the powerful AMG G 63 version, a completely excessive and irrational EUR 200k machine boasting 585 horsepower and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, all of that in a 2-meter high body that was once designed as a military off-roader. Similarly, the IWC Big Pilot was initially crafted to meet the demands of the military, dating back to 1940 when a thousand oversized, 55mm diameter B-Uhr timepieces housing re-engineered pocket watch movements were manufactured for military navigators. Somehow, it becomes clear that this IWC BP Watch x AMG could be a natural match?The new Big Pilot AMG G 63 next to the first modern BP watch, the reference IW5002 The civilian version, known as the Grosse Fliegeruhr or Big Pilot’s Watch, was only introduced by IWC in 2002.?The inaugural reference 5002 came in a 46.2mm case, with an oversized diamond-s

The New Cartier Prive Tank Normale Honouring The 1917 Original
The Cartier Tank, without a doubt, is one of the most recognizable and iconic watch designs. A revolutionary concept in 1917, as elegant and sophisticated as ever more than a hundred years later, with many exquisite interpretations, it is the watch of great importance to watchmaking history, not just Cartier. Surprisingly enough, when Cartier launched the Cartier Prive series in 2017 to offer each year a collection of contemporary interpretations of some of the Maison’s most classic timepieces, the first watch to be presented was the Crash, followed by Tank Cintree, Tonneau, Tank Asymetrique, Cloche and Tank Chinoise. The original Tank, which started it all, was left unnoticed, as was the Collection Privee Cartier Paris case, which featured re-issues of all the essential Cartier models over the years but never a Tank. This year, the 7th edition of Cartier Prive highlights the Tank Normale, the “mother idea”, with a bundle of new limited editions. Good things come to t

And here are our thoughts about it.Going for the BronzeAs you know, bronze cases have made a strong comeback on the watch scene. Thanks to its resistance to corrosion, bronze has been used widely in the production of nautical and scientific instruments. The patina that develops over time gives watches a distinctive antique feel we associate with early marine chronometers and other seafaring equipment. And don't be fooled into thinking that only chunky dive watches (this or that) are suitable vessels for the heavy metal, bronze has transitioned across the board as a case material for pil

A watch born in the early 1950s as?a precision chronometer wristwatch, the Omega Constellation is one of the most long-lasting collections of the brand, only surpassed by the Seamaster.
