The world is your mistress, and your greatest affair would be to explore her. Let different cities across the globe seduce you with their beauty and excitement while you carry this unique IWC on your wrist, made for the world traveler inside of you!

The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Worldtimer can be your wingman as you travel across the world, whether it’s for work or for your luxurious getaways. This IWC has an ideal overview of the different time zones, unnamed-3even if you’re past the International Date Line. The outlying 24-hour ring of the dial is positioned once to current UTC (Universal Time Coordinator) using the crown and runs to local time zones without needing any adjustments, becoming the ultimate travel companion. The special case back is designed as tribute to world travelers, with its imprinted glass of the Northern Hemisphere and its different time zones.

What I find most attractive about this watch is the cool gray color of the slate dial. It could be because I’ve developed a great love for grays, but I feel as if the shades of this IWC are universally attractive.  What’s also very distinctive about this watch is its very clean display, leading all the way to the edges of the face. It kind of reminds me of an infinity pool. The marks are very legible and there is enough spacing between the major cities to make it easy to read. It has a good size crown and screw-down locking system nestled nicely between it. The watch is well finished and has an anti-reflective coating.

Personally, my business doesn’t require a lot of travel, nor do I do business in the multi-time zones that are offered in this new 2016 model, but the watch is very functional and easy to set if you have worked with other brands that have similar features.

I love the way the watch feels on my wrist and the continuity of the new alligator strap developed for this series. It’s an amazing fit and suitable for an active enthusiast. Overall, I think the IWC Yacht Club World Timer is a great buy! The only objection I have to this watch is the fact that it’s a bit too thick if you’re a stickler on having watches slide easily underneath your dress sleeves.

The IWC Yacht Club World Timer is well priced and can be found below $9,900.

IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Galapagos

Gallery

The IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Galápagos Islands, with a black rubber coated case and strap, plays tribute to the International Watch Company’s partnership with the Charles Darwin Foundation. unnamed-1The CDF is an international non-profit scientific organization, working in the Galápagos Islands since 1959 under an agreement with the Government of Ecuador. Their mission is to work closely with government institutions, providing scientific knowledge and assistance to ensure the conservation of the Galápagos.

The Galápagos Islands are a volcanic archipelago  in the Pacific Ocean, in Ecuador. It is considered the world’s supreme destination Galapagos-04for wild life viewing because its isolation is home to a diversity of plant and animal species that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Its prominence derives from Charles Darwin’s visit n 1835. It is said that the island, and the species that call it home, were what inspired his theories of evolution, therefore its conservation is extremely significant to our civilization.

The matte black rubber that coats the stainless steel case is special to the Galápagos Edition because it is applied through an unnamedintricate vulcanization process, creating a connection between the watch and the island. Its case back also pays tribute to the Galápagos Islands and the species that inhabit it. What I love most about this watch, besides its unique storyline, is its practicality. It’s aesthetically slick while also being thin and easy to slip under a dress sleeve, for when you decide to go on your very own Galapagos adventure and then inconspicuously morph into James Bond for the evening. From air to sea, this watch will work for anything that life plans to throw your way!

The highlighted white accents on the dial make it very legible and unnamed-3easy to read, even when time gets away from us. The fit is
extremely comfortable and lightweight and the body is durable. My only concern is that I’m not sure how the case will wear over the years. Since it has the black rubber casing, I’m not sure what it will do to the look of said rubber after exposure to salt, sun and body acidity, but only time, and experience with this beauty, will tell.

Part of the proceeds from the sales of the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Galápagos Edition has gone to the Charles Darwin Foundation, essentially this IWC is commemorating the study of evolution and, at the same time, contributing to it. Safe to say that the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Galápagos Islands is an evolutionary timepiece.

This watch is Previously Enjoyed and was last retailed for $6,900, but you can own it for just $4,250 today through Beverly Hills Watch Company.
