HANDS-ON: The new 2021 IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41
When new novelties arrive, more often than not consumers are presented with familiar frameworks paired with new dial tones. IWC design language is iconic within the industry, so for me to say this new IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 looks entirely different would be a bit of a stretch. But this is actually great news.

When is a thin watch too thin? | OPINION
Borna Bosnjak
You’ve no doubt ready plenty of watch reviews about watches that are pretty much spot-on, save for the fact they’re, shall we say, vertically challenged.
