After viewing your pics, I'm wondering if I don't prefer the Portofino in Platinum.. There is more contrast in this version between the dial and the moonphase... And the dial looks more classic, than in the SS version. But I prefer the Portuguese in SS......

Sincere thanks to Andreas, Mike, Connie, Vivian and Kong for all the behind-the-scene efforts that allow us to enjoy such a great evening. IMO, the vintage collection need to be handled in the "metal" to truly appreciate their beauty. I am thinking of the...
Great report, JiaXian - and thanks indeed to Harry for the photos

Let me supplement Jia Xian's excellent report with some of mine. What would such a delightful be without mention of the delectable and most excellent dinner that night. The theme of the crossing was well carried into the menu. The selection of items was w...
A great way to spend a Thursday evening

Many thanks to IWC Singapore for the invitation and for putting up such a good show. It was most enjoyable to dress up and relive the crossing in period costume. Little known fact: the heavens above graced the "crossing" with a shower (rain) of blessing a...
While wristwatches are all the rage this day and age ...
By: zephyr49 : May 24th, 2008-07:23
... the presence of a handful of pocket watches also graced this 'vintage' theme event, adding more glamor and nostalgia. While I didn't manage to capture a very nice gold pocket watch, I did manage to capture a few shots of these two. Enjoy them! And a m...
