Image Of A Watch Czar: Swatch Group's Nicolas Hayek With His Wares
Big year for Swatch Group AG, the Swiss giant has reporting above average profits and double-digit growth across the board. Swatch Group owns the watch movement maker ETA, along with a number of brands including Omega, Breguet, Longines, and Glashutte Original. Last year’s profits hovered over $5 billion, certainly amazing given the market and volume of watches produced. Despite increases in material and production costs, Swatch Group continues to expand, open new facilities, and push forward into new markets. Of course, innovation and product design are at the heart of its success, which makes one wonder why American auto makers have not followed suit when considering how to save themselves.Chairman of Swatch Group, Nicolas Hayek, sits high and proud over the many brands and applications of the Swatch Group. He can be attributed with revitalizing the company, and assisting to bring back the mechanical watch to its place of prominence. Being a family man, Nicolas Hayek has brough
IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Tourbillon Retrograde Watch
IWC's recent strategy has been to focus on refreshing a single collection each year. For 2017, that was the Da Vinci, but that is not to say that IWC has totally neglected its other collections. In fact, IWC has recently and quietly bolstered its Portofino collection with the new Portofino Hand-Wound Tourbillon Retrograde watch. The Portofino collection is mostly made up of simple time-only watches, so the addition of a more complicated piece is much welcome.For now, the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Tourbillon Retrograde is only available in an 18k red gold case. With dimensions of 45mm in diameter and 14.1mm in height, the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Tourbillon Retrograde is a rather large watch. The design of the case seems to closely follow that of the Portofino watches – a very classic design with slim-looking lugs and a thin bezel. The crown looks to be fairly beefy and large, which should be seen as a good thing since this is a manually wound watch. Water resistance is 30 meters.
