MY DAY WITH: The IWC Chronograph Spitfire at the Goodwood 76th Members’ Meeting

Now, IWC is a brand I’ve always admired from afar, but haven’t had substantial personal experience with until last month.

MY WEEK WITH: Travelling the globe with the Montblanc Orbis Terrarum

There’s a lot of important planning that happens in the lead up to Baselworld. But perhaps the single most important question is - what watch do I wear?

As far as boss complications go, the world timer is pretty up there.
