A good design goes a long way: this is common knowledge but what makes a good design is far more difficult to pin down. With the Portugieser has IWC had a very strong design ever since it was first created in the 1930s.

Take for example the Portugieser Chronograph, the automatic, or the perpetual calendar.

Diver's watches are among the most popular type of watches in the industry. Of course, the vast majority of them never see more water than the backyard pool, or the occasional dip into the sea to cool off during a day spent on the yacht. But the popularity of diving watches goes beyond their initial purpose; because they are build robustly, to withstand high water pressures, they can also handle nearly all situations on land with grace. This makes them both in terms of looks, as well as in capabilities, the perfect choice for many people to match their lifestyle. Here are four watches that love getting wet, but also look great on the wrist when they don't!

Among all the metals used in watchmaking, platinum is among the rarest. Even the top brands often only craft very limited numbers of their platinum cased watches, which is part of the answer why they sell with a significant premium when compared to the same watch in 18 karat gold. There was a time when this higher price could also be explained by the more expensive price of platinum itself, but that has for a while not been the case anymore. However, processing platinum, as well as finishing it, requires special craftsmanship, because it is very dense, malleable and ductile. With the few watches made the investment in this cannot be spread out over so many pieces.

The 2018-edition of the Grand Prix D'Horlogerie De Geneve (GPHG), also known as the Oscar's of the watch world, took place last Friday evening, during a special Gala event. The line-up was imposing, and each of the winners represents without a doubt the best of their category.
