Introducing An Array of Colourful Rubber Straps For The Classic IWC Portugieser Chronograph 3716
Looking at IWC’s portfolio, the Portugieser Chronograph is, without a doubt, one of the most emblematic watches around. Now in its second generation (ref. 3716), it’s a classic with a timeless appeal. In recent years, however, the Schaffhausen-based brand expanded the collection with brighter colours and more daring styles?and even created an Individualisation Program?to create your own version. But what if you already own one and want to spice it up, or make it more summer-ready? Right in time for warmer days, IWC launches a wide range of rubber straps for the Portugieser Chronograph, in classic or original colours, to create your own personal version of the emblematic Chronograph.A watch says a lot about its owner. We all know that perfectly. It is a reflection of your personality and your lifestyle. The way you wear your watch tells even more about your activities. Changing a strap for something more personal, transforming a dress watch into a more casual timepiece, has
Bvlgari Bvlgari Cities Special Editions 2020 (Specs & Price)
Even if most of the buzz has been generated around the successful Octo collection – and its multiple thinness world records – there is more than just one modern icon produced by the Italian watchmaker/jeweller. Based on a model introduced in the mid-1970s, the Bvlgari Bvlgari collection perpetuates this love affair between Bvlgari and its country of origin, with a deceptively simple design that actually incorporates multiple references to Italian culture. Today, the brand launches the Bvlgari Bvlgari Cities Editions 2020, inspired by the nine cities – Rome, Tokyo, Dubai, Paris, London, Ibiza, Milan, Mexico City and New York – that have hosted Bvlgari in the past.A 1970s BackgroundThe original design of the Bvlgari Bvlgari, with its signature cylindrical case and bezel engraved with the brand’s name and Roma, was first introduced in 1975 as a limited edition gift for 100 of Bvlgari's best clients. With its unexpected combination of a yellow gold shine, a cl

Time to say goodbye - Monochrome Watches
Since my passion for watches began, the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso has always been one of my favorites. Even during times when I was wearing watches with the average size of 44mm (like the Panerai PAM00001 ?I owned), I still considered it as very desirable. And I still do…To explain the title of this story I have to go back to a week in september of last year (2008), when visited New York City.?One of the things on my to-do list was to visit?Wempe near Central Park. My goal? To try a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso and possibly buy it. The dollar-euro ratio was still excellent, which was a big advantage for anyone from Europe.
