GONE IN 60 SECONDS: The Da Vinci Automatic shows the gentler side of IWC

For years IWC has staked its claim as being one of the biggest, baddest and most masculine of the major Swiss brands. Recently though, we’ve sensed a change in the wind. In 2014 they released the delicate Portofino, and last year their more petite pilot had women firmly in its sights. That’s set to continue for … ContinuedThe post GONE IN 60 SECONDS: The Da Vinci Automatic shows the gentler side of IWC appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
