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. Because the brand understands the subtleties of its design it has been able to create several varieties on the theme that are so strong that they individually all have benchmark-status. 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!

Rolex is one of the most extraordinary brands in the world. While many of its models started their life as so-called 'tool watches,' build for a particular purpose, they grew to become the pinnacle of luxury.

Collaborations; the watch world is full of them, but to be honest, they not always work out. More often than not it is simply putting famous names together and thinking that because of this the sales of the model will soar. But to reach true synergy both the artist as well as the brand needs to give it a lot more to take it to the next level. The following three watches are excellent examples where neither one rested on the laurels of their previous successes, but simply went to work, and worked hard, to create something truly spectacular.

Understated watches are a realm of their own. They often require a connoisseurs eye to recognize them as something special, but special they are indeed. They please their owners with refined movement, subtle details and the knowledge that they have something exceptional around the wrist. They are the 'sleeper cars' of the watch industry, and these are four of the most desirable.

As so many other industries do, does also the watch industry have trends. In terms of colors black, silver and white rule supreme, with a strong position for blue as well. Green, however, is definitely up and coming, taking a more prominent place among the collections of a wide variety of brands. It might be the color, but this almost always results in very charismatic creations of which these four will make quite a few people also green with envy if you are wearing one!
