IWC Opens Flagship Boutique in Hong Kong
Hong Kong and Schaffhausen may seem worlds apart, but they have something in common: a very special place to view IWC timepieces. IWC’s Flagship Boutique is their fourth Hong Kong location, and the most extravagant, and it may provide a model for future boutiques in key markets. The boutique presents a unique backdrop and offers insight into the worlds of IWC. Each IWC timepiece collection is presented in a thematic room. The Portuguese collection is displayed in a Navigators’ Lounge with dark wood floor panels and custom recessed glass display cabinets reminiscent of a luxury yacht. The Pilot series is housed in the Sports Lifestyle Wing with 1930s club chairs and IWC aviator jackets. This room also offers a flight simulator. Da Vincis are displayed in an atmosphere of inventiveness and aesthetic sophistication. The Aquatimer room conquers the depths and presents the intriguing story of the Galapagos Islands. Each room brings the collection to life.

Watch Spotting: Stan Wawrinka Wearing An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph WHILE Winnin
While the big news in the watch/tennis world over the past 10 days has been Nadal's newest ultra-light-weight, $800,000 Richard Mille Tourbillon, it wasn't this mega watch, or even Djokovic's Seiko Astron, that was seen as the championship trophy was hoisted yesterday at Roland Garros. Nay, it was an Audemars Piguet, and it was the wrist of Swiss-born Stan Wawrinka. 1 OF 3 What is even more is that Stan didn't just put his AP – A Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph in Steel (reference 26470ST) – on after he won, but he actually wore the watch while playing! This AP is a big watch, not a featherweight like the Nadal tourbillon, which makes it even cooler. You can read more about this watch here.

Audemars Piguet 44mm Hornback Straps?
Hi Everyone. Just wanted to see how many 44mm AP owners have hornback straps fitted to their watches? I've got the 44 SS on a rubber atm.. but I'm definitely looking to switch it up to some sort of leather. I've checked with the boutique here in Singapore.. they told me they've stopped production for hornbacks for 44s. And if they had any left in stock it would be over $1,000 Singapore dollars! That is just madness.Anyone has comments over the worth of the hornbacks for 44? Or any 3rd party leather makers who make great aftermarket hornbacks? I'm open to other leather... but I'm not sure which would look best. Or better yet... anyone with a nice 44mm Hornback they'd like to sell? Here's a pic for the day.

Own Pam 372 AND Pam 422???
I have a Pam 372 which I feel is one of the most beautiful watches ever made. No plans to let this go and I have lots of straps for it. I also have the wrists for 47MM and its ME if that makes sense. Thinking of adding a 422. Minute hands, power reserve, slightly different dial, sapphire crystal and would be interchangeable with my straps for the 372. Crazy to own both watches that to many people are so similar?
