Approaching a hands-on article about a watch can take various angles, and one exciting perspective is to envision how a newcomer to the watch scene might react to a timepiece and what questions might arise during their exploration of the product. Let’s explore this approach as we delve into the mighty IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar TOP GUN Lake Tahoe (what a name…), presented by the Schaffhausen-based brand in 2023.Imagine being entirely unfamiliar with IWC and its collections as you encounter a 46.5mm diameter, 15.5mm height watch encased in white ceramic featuring a substantial steel diamond-shaped ribbed crown.

Hublot Classic Fusion 40 Years Anniversary Collection - Review, Price
In Stephen Hawking's universe, the Big Bang signals the beginning of time; in the watchmaking world, it is a best-selling Hublot watch.?Hublot has always been a brand that likes to make noise, a lot of noise. It is loud, explosive and disruptive; a brand that you either love or hate. Although the Big Bang is very much a 21st-century creation, it owes its character to a watch released in 1980. You could say that Carlo Crocco's Hublot watch jump-started the concept of fusion, an unorthodox but refreshing combination of materials that got the brand noticed. And as this watch turns a respectable age in 2020, the brand releases the new Hublot Classic Fusion 40 Years Anniversary collection.Carlo Crocco's unconventional marriage of materialsItalian entrepreneur Carlo Crocco founded the brand MDM Geneve and, after three years of research, launched the Hublot (French for ‘porthole’) at Baselworld in 1980.

Bangalore Watch Company Cover Drive - Value Proposition Review
Themed watches are always fun and Bangalore Watch Company has made them a speciality in 2020. Earlier this year, we showed you the MACH 1 series that paid homage to India's MiG 21 Type 77, the country's first supersonic jet fighter. Many design elements on the dial, crown and case back were directly related to the MiG 21, and an updated design recently debuted as well with the Officer's Blue. The brand's latest themed watch is the Cover Drive, which honours India's most popular sport, cricket. Although unique and a bit specialized, it remains practical, stylish and well priced.?Bangalore Watch Company was founded by a husband and wife team in 2018, and both Nirupesh Joshi and Mercy Amalraj have worked to set a new standard of watchmaking in India.
