I recently nominated a few key luxury watch brands for a reader poll on Luxist.com. The poll was to determine what brand people considered to be the top luxury brand. Not exactly a scientific study, but it is interested to see what people who read the worlds top luxury blog had to say on the topic. It wasnt too difficult to consider the nominees.

Engineers and scientists were n [...]

I have to say that I am often disappointed with new vintage watches these days because it seems as though not enough effort goes into making them memorable. This line from IWC is certainly an exception. IWC created much more than a mere rehashing of classic designs with more modern materials or [...]
