Oris Artelier Watch With New In-House Calibre 112
Building upon the well-received 110 and 111 calibers, Baselworld 2016 sees Oris unveiling a third aimed at time-zone hoppers by adding a GMT function to their newest in-house movement, their Calibre 112. It’s debuting in the Oris Artelier, which is a progression from the sporty Big Crown Pro Pilot and swings back to the dressier side of life.

IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Day & Date Watch Hands-On
Some history before I get into the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Day & Date Watch. When IWC re-launched the Portofino collection a few years ago, I welcomed it with muted acceptance.

With that said, I think I’ve found the IWC Portofino watch that, for me, not only helps the collection find its personality, but that also excites the watch nerd in me.
