The new IWC Aquatimer Chrono Galapagos Island is the one I really enjoyed the most! The vulcanized rubber feels great on the wrist and extremely comfortable. The quick strap detach is fantastic and very secure.
The Beverly Hills IWC Boutique is currently showcasing the SIHH 2009 watches for a few days, so Ming, Art and I made took some time out of our work schedules and met up for lunch yesterday. After lunch at a local Italian restaurant, we then headed over to...

I also visited the SIHH mini-show in the early evening on the 16th for the purpose of seeing the special edition Big Pilot. It is always a pleasure to speak with the well-trained staff at IWC who are not only well-trained and extremely familiar with the p...
