IWC Aquatimer Watches New For 2014
The "new way" at IWC is to make each year themed. Last year was the year of the Ingenieur while the year before that was year of the pilot watch. 2014 at IWC will be the year of the Aquatimer, so expect to see a fully re-launched collection of some of the nicest high-end tool watches around. Actually, before we move on to discuss a preview of the 2014 Aquatimer watches I want to clarify my previous statement. While for the most part IWC shows the media only pieces of a specific family (i.e. Aquatimer), it isn't true that they don't release other new models. Those merely wait until later in the year to be released. Anyhow, back to our excitement over the new Aquatimers. UPDATE: watches-dealer has new 2014 IWC Aquatimer watch information with additional details and models here.It was back in 2009 that IWC last revisited the Aquatimer, and the collection was nice but a bit controversial. Why controversial? Nothing was wrong with the pieces but some people felt that they were too colorful.

My First Grail Watch: Bill Yao Of MK II

In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. ?Today, we're talking with Bill Yao, the man behind the independent watch brand MK II.watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Bill Yao (BY): I am the owner and founder of Mk II Watches.ABTW: What were your first grail watches?BY: I have two that were acquired in rapid succession. The Omega Speedmaster Pro Moonwatch and the Zenith El Primero "TV screen" Chronograph.ABTW: Was there ever a time in your life when you could afford either of them?BY: I ended up buying the Omega about 2-3 years after I started working in New York. I could barely afford it, and, at the time, I actually had to spread the purchase across two credit cards. The Zenith was purchased less than a year later.I bought the Omega, naturally, because it was the first watch worn on the moon.

can a regulation drift?
Hi - I have had my three black bays between about 5 and 8 months. The black on bracelet has been consistent at about -1.5 from the beginning. The red on leather moves around a bit....was -1.5, now hovers around zero....some days plus a second or two and sometimes minus. Although when I take the red one off the winder, it seems to gain couple of seconds in a couple of hours...this has happened twice and I guess it is just an idiosyncrasy of the watch...it then stabilises very quickly and gains nothing pretty much for the next 24 hours.The bronze which is the last one I bought was the best of the three and running at less than -1s/d for ages and recently has moved up to -2s/day and in the last 24 hours I would say has lost nearly three seconds. At what point should I send it in? I think they are meant to be COSC -4/+6 plus an extra 2s either side for Tudor - so -2/+4. I'd feel a bit stupid for sending back a watch that is running 3s slow per day! But at ��3k, I would expect it to
