IWC Big Pilot Watch In Blue



This is a special limited edition version of the IWC Big Pilot watch that will exclusively be available in IWC's North American boutique stores. There are still very few details about the watch, such as the price or the amount in the limited edition. What I can say is that IWC is a nice job "re-imagining" the dial in a sober sky blue splendor. There is also matching blue stitching on the alligator pilot style strap. The case is in all steel, and 46.2mm wide. It is everything you know and love about the Big Pilot complete with turnip style crown.

Invicta Pro Diver Wood Chronograph Watch



Some watches are all wood, while others use the material for the dial, or other elements of the watch. Invicta has taken wood and used it in their Pro Diver watch, for the "Pro Diver Wood" watch. You can see that wood is used as the center link in the bracelet, as well as for the dial.

BELL & ROSS - Instrument BR 03-92 MILITARY CERAMIC

The new BR 03 Military Ceramic celebrates the art of military camouflage.






Press release

The new BR 03 Military Ceramic celebrates the art of military camouflage. It was designed as a tool for pilots to use in the cockpit of their fighter jets where remaining stealthy while maintaining combat readiness is a matter of life or death. Whether they are flying reconnaissance missions or combat flights, they are often in harm’s way. For these extreme pilots who spend most of their time traversing the skies, the reliability and discreetness of their onboard instrumentation is essential at all times.

TAG Heuer and the Porsche Club of America

TAG Heuer celebrates 55 years of the Porsche Club of America (PCA) by manufacturing a 55-piece limited edition for the largest single-brand club in the world. It is no coincidence that the PCA has chosen TAG Heuer as its partner for the limited edition watch, which is based on famous racing heritage.



Bvlgari Diagono Chronograph GMT X-Pro




I have never seen anyone wearing a Bvlgari wristwatch (other than maybe Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man). Bvlgari has a large multi-level boutique in Manhattan (Bvlgari also sell is jewelry), and many other throughout the world, just like Audemars Piguet or Omega, for example. Yet I have seen many people wearing Omega and Audemars Piguet timepieces, never a Bvlgari though. I'm not sure how much traction the brand has in the highly competitive luxury watch market, but based on what I've heard, and Bvlgari's January 2010 announcement to combined their two haute horology brands, Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta under the Bvlgari name, there is clearly some turmoil within their watch division.

A Tribute to Time

The new William Baume Collection is a tribute to time and its measurement. Through a splendid array of haute horlogerie models, it evokes the noble traditions of one of the oldest Swiss watch brands, Baume & Mercier. This time-honored expertise is admirably embodied by the figure of William Baume, the man who forged the company’s contemporary destiny and was instrumental in earning it the prestigious Poinçon de Genève in 1921, the seal acknowledged as the highest watchmaking quality certification.
