Things could be worse: a sunny summer day, a speedy convertible and a cool IWC watch. The car is the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster. The watch is also an AMG, of sorts: the Ingenieur Automatic AMG Black Series Ceramic, introduced last year in honor of IWC’s sponsorship of the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1 team. It seems fitting that we test the AMG watch while test driving an AMG car, so here we are at AMG headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany, ready to take car and watch for a spin.http://www.watchtime.com/reviews/one-for-the-road-we-test-the-iwc-ingenieur-amg-in-an-amg-roadster/?utm_source=WW+07-25-15&utm_campaign=WW+7-25-15&utm_medium=email

Originally introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date was the last flagship model Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf created, and it is considered to be his ultimate achievement. Also known as the “President’s watch,” the Day-Date has a rich heritage of being worn by presidents, CEOs, visionaries and important leaders around the world. Some might call it the ultimate symbol of prestige, achievement, and success.http://www.watchtime.com/wristwatch-industry-news/technology/rolex-modernizes-the-day-date-with-a-new-size-and-caliber/?utm_source=WW+07-18-15&utm_campaign=WW+7-18-15&utm_medium=email

You probably know that we have a strong focus on watches that are available for the wider audience. Watches that represent excellent value for money. In my book a watch is considered a member of the above group if it has a mechanical movement and a price tag up to $3,000 USD. The watch we are about to review today is no exception from this category.

Metallic mesh watch bands have been popular since the 1960’s when they were initially introduced. This unique style is totally different than the more familiar link style bracelet; many consider it even more beautiful. Unlike other style watch bands, mesh bracelets use metal wires, usually stainless steel, to knit a robust and flexible band. These stylish bracelets are usually made using top quality 304 stainless steel and are virtually unbreakable. http://gevrilgroup.com/watchrepair/how-to-adjust-a-mesh-watch-band/

The 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed drew enormous crowds to the ever-popular grounds of one of the UK's most famous estates. One thing you notice when you visit the Goodwood Festival, which ran from June 25th to June 28th, is that everything moves quickly. The air is bursting with the rip-roaring sound of revving engines, the excited chatter of legions of fans, and the overhead sonic booms of jets zipping by. It's an assault on the senses and one to be savoured. When the daily drudgery gets you down, the TAG Heuer sponsored event is one of life's great escapes.

Ever since the resurrection of Blancpain by Biver and Piguet in the 1980’s, the moon has played an important part in the history of the brand. Their first full calendar model with moon phase was a classical beauty, whose legacy lives on until today. The same can be said for the carrousel (karrussel) that Blancpain reintroduced into the world of watchmaking in 2008. The carrousel serves the same purpose as a tourbillon, eliminating the effects of gravity and thus raising its precision, yet does so through a different construction. Unlike the tourbillon, which only has a gear-train connecting it to the mainspring barrel, the carrousel has an additional gear train that controls the rotation speed of the device. When Blancpain brought the carrousel back into the limelight they did so by recreating it into a flying version, similar to the construction of a flying tourbillon, and with a one-minute rotation speed.http://revo-online.com/baselworld-2014-blancpain-carrousel-phases-de-lune-the-sophistication-of-signature-complications-united-in-elegance/

Although military watches are relatively new, they play an important role in the history of timekeeping. The first watches produced exclusively for military use began to appear in the late 1800’s. The German emperor Wilhelm I was one of the first to begin using military timepieces in large quantities when he ordered 1,000 watches in 1879 for the German Imperial Navy. By the early 1900’s, armies and navies around the world began to see the benefits of accurate timekeeping in the field, and soldiers were routinely issued a military wristwatch with their uniform.http://gevrilgroup.com/military-watches/
