I was invited to the IWC Grand Prix event tonight, which was held in collaboration with Mercedes Benz to showcase the latest Ingenieur watches and AMG cars.
I arrived late to the event and didn't take any pictures of the cars at all, so sorry about this. But here are some pictures of the watches I saw and really liked...
The new 40mm Ingenieur... I absolutely adore it. It's an instant classic, IMHO. And, it would look great on women as well.
I must admit, that was the only Inge I liked. Here are the other watches that caught my attention...
The Portofino 8 Days Laureus 2014 and the Portuguese Yacht Club Laureus 2013!
I am absolutely bowled over by these blue incarnations of the watches. Really brilliant :)
Here is the Porto 8 days on my wrist with my own Porto Chrono Laureus...
There is no engraving on the Porto 8 Days as it is a glass case back.
Here is the Yacht Club Laureus on my wrist...
Also shown to us were the new Portuguese collection based on the IWC in-house movements...
I like this new line very much indeed. The cases are thicker than those based on the ETAs. Also, the crystals rise above the case, creating a domed look. Overall, the line looks very refined. However, an interesting characteristic is the date function for the watches. I'm sure many would welcome this feature.
I would like to express my grateful thanks to the Singaporean IWC team for hosting us.
HAWGE and thanks for looking :)
