Introducing: IWC Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph 41
Daytona, Zenith Chronomaster Sport, TAG Heuer Carrera, Omega Speedmaster Racing… Here are some of the most significant chronographs born on the track or dedicated to motorsport. No need to say, the competition in this market is fierce. Up until now, and despite its long involvement in racing and Formula 1 with Mercedes-AMG or Lewis Hamilton, Schaffhausen-based brand IWC has never really pushed the concept of its pilot watch outside of the exploration of the skies. There was clearly a void in the collection, something missing; a watch truly meant to be worn on racetracks and dedicated to its F1 partners. A watch inspired by cars, used to time cars and able to compete in this oh-so-important field. Problem solved with the new IWC Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41, a racing chronograph available in titanium (AMG version) or Ceratanium (Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team edition).It’s been quite a while since IWC launched something truly new in its extensive

Introducing the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Day & Date - Monochrome-Watches
In the rush of Watches & Wonders 2015 (the Hong-Kong watch fair), it’s now IWC’s turn to come with a novelty: the?IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Day?&?Date. We’ve recently covered various iterations of IWC’s Portofino models, like the recent Monopusher Chronograph,?the Pure Classic edition?and the one that featured in The Collector’s Series.?The new Portofino Day & Date comes with interesting features, all based on the same nice and massive 8-day power reserve hand-wound in-house movement.The IWC Portofino is the elegant and vintage-inspired proposition of the brand, with a large, round case and a clean and pure dial. What makes this watch kind of special is the use of IWC’s own movement, with a very large diameter that completely fills the case – something that is extremely pleasant (and rare enough in the industry to be mentioned). This Calibre?59220 features a single but large mainspring that can provide energy to the watch during 8 da

2020 Ulysse Nardin Dual Time 42mm (Specs & Price)
Recently, Ulysse Nardin has demonstrated its boldness by designing ultra-modern watches with architectural openworked movements or complex displays. The brand is also about complications and, ironically, the simplification of these complications. One should keep in mind the work undertaken by the brand with Dr Ludwig Oechslin to simplify its perpetual calendar. In the same vein, one of the most emblematic displays by UN is the dual time and today this watch gets a complete overhaul. Meet the fully reshaped Ulysse Nardin Dual Time 42mm.Making complex things simple was Oechslin’s philosophy regarding watchmaking during his days at Ulysse Nardin. He was the creative genius behind the Freak, the Trilogy of Time collection (a trio of watches named Astrolabium Galileo Galilei, Planetarium Copernicus and Tellurium Johannes Kepler), and of course, the Perpetual Calendar he created for the brand in 1996 to celebrate its 150th anniversary. But prior to that, in 1994, another watch made som
