As watch lovers, we spend our afternoons poring over watches both new and vintage. When a new timepiece comes across our radar, one that particularly resonates with our tastes, we can’t help but obsess over it. So, here’s a taste of that process — six timepieces that our watch-loving staff are obsessing over right at this very moment.
IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic Spitfire
There is fine line between an “entry level” daily driver, and a beater. When the new Spitfire line launched I knew that IWC had nailed the look and feel for this collection, leveraging the brand’s heritage but keeping it simple. While bronze is having its moment, the steel variant feels timeless, and with a 20mm strap, it can be outfitted for any occasion. –Tim Murray, Account Executive
Ressence Type 1(2) White Dial
Though I typically reach for a vintage mechanical watch, I have had an eye on Ressence for a couple of years now, mainly owing to their fetching dial design which reinterprets how we express the notion of the passage of time. The Type 1(2) has some vintage cues (the squared case is reminiscent of a Heuer Camaro) while the watch conjures a sense of having been smuggled back by a watch enthusiast with a time machine. I dig it. –Jacob Sotak, Content Director, Commerce
