THE PARTY: An IWC microstory – Part 2

iwc-the-party-noon-1Editor’s Note: In this, the second instalment of our IWC microstory, Christian and Evelyn don driving gear, load up the Mercedes (living the dream right there, folks) and race off to the mysterious party of the title. Where will it be? Does anyone else get the impression Christian isn’t exactly looking forward to it? And what watch is that on his wrist? You’ll have to wait until the final instalment for the answers for those first two questions, though the last is a little easier – he’s wearing a Portugieser Chronograph Classic.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 7 – The TAG Heuer Monza ref. CR2080

Dial detail of the on-point @tagheuer Monza reissue, one of the best heritage releases of 2016. ️Deck the halls with badass blackness, fa la la la la, la la, la la. There are slow burn watches – the new Air-King, the Globemaster Annual Cal – and then there are immediate, towering infernos. The new Monza is the latter. It’s the least daggy retro piece of the year, and maybe ever. We also found it quite versatile in the outfit-matching department, turning a biker jacket, white T-shirt and jeans into something iconic – but it also looks unreasonably awesome with a sharp suit. It’s black for the future, one of our absolute favourites, and worthy winner of the Revival Watch Prize at GPHG 2016. Who should you buy this for? Yourself. Otherwise you’ll only envy the recipient, and that wouldn’t be any good, would it? What’s the damage? Under 7k TAG Heuer Monza ref. CR2080 Australian pricing TAG Heuer Monza ref. CR2080, $6700

A Week On The Wrist: The A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin 37mm

I haven’t wanted a watch this badly in a long time. Sure, there are grails and dream watches out there that might get my blood pumping harder, but no watch that is both so appealing and so close to possible reach as the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin 37mm. Beyond my personal affinity, this new entry-level watch from Lange has a lot going for it, from design to finishing to market positioning. Buckle up, we’re going deep on this one.
