Baselworld 2013: Casio Releases G-Shock's 30th Anniversary Edition
Casio's G-Shock has always been an unquestionably fresh, energetic, but also - with its countless editions - a superbly professional wristwatch, with durability and richness in features scarcely paralleled by other pieces. It has?been owned - or to say at least?acknowledged by - watch nerds, enthusiasts, and "normal" human beings alike. This recognized and beloved timepiece just turned 30 years old and?Casio is celebrating with a limited edition of 5,000 pieces.The model of choice is the DW-6900 series characterized by the round shape that came as a result of an extended search of toughness and durability. This model in fact is the most popular G-Shock model ever. The watch now comes in a "lustrous metallic silver" finish - as they say, as a symbol of future progress.

Hands-On: With The A. Lange & S?hne Richard Lange Boutique Edition

Admiring Very Old (And Very Special) Watches At The IWC Museum In Schaffhausen
I recently had the pleasure of visiting IWC's headquarters in Schaffhausen (with a lucky reader) for a tour of the 146-year-old brand's manufacture and museum. The attention to detail and efficient workflow within the manufacture was mesmerizing, in addition to the dizzying array of high-tech machinery used to produce the modern watches. But what struck me most was the assortment of vintage pocket watches and wristwatches on display at the company's museum – everything from the first mass-produced digital watch movement to prototypical models from both the Portuguese and Portofino collections.

Note the contrasting design of the digital pocket watch above, and the classic yellow gold pocket wa
