Two for the Road: A Pair of Titanium Ingenieurs from IWC
For the new timepieces in its re-tooled Ingenieur collection, IWC Shaffhausen wanted a direct connection to Formula One auto racing, in both the watches’ design and in the materials used to make them. Hence the use of carbon fiber, high-tech ceramics, and, for two of its new models, titanium.Like all of the new IWC Ingenieur watches, launched at this year’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva, the design and construction of the Ingenieur Double Chronograph Titanium and Ingenieur Dual Time Titanium are influenced by IWC’s partnership with the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One racing team. The distinctive bezels feature five screws, instead of the more traditional bores, which secure the bezels firmly to the titanium cases. IWC was among the first to introduce titanium to the watch industry in the early 1980s, recognizing the same properties that make it popular in the automobile industry: lightness (half the weight of stainless steel), resistance to corrosion and magnetism, and

Top Five Useless Watch Complications
In the world of watches, "complication" is typically what functions are called. The more things a watch does, the more complications it has. Most of these are historical and have been around for centuries, proving to be useful and interesting. That latter camp of "interesting" complications incorporates a lot of potentially complex features that have arguable utility. Nevertheless, we still enjoy them for the simple effort and time required to produced and assemble them. They exist for the sheer love of things "complicated."Most complications are rather useful - even in our modern digital world. In addition to the time we enjoy having features such as the date, day of the week, more complex calendar functions, perhaps a second timezone, chronograph for measuring the time, and even things like the time all over the world. Those are pretty useful things. Then there are complications that while not totally useless, are certainly not very useful for the majority of people. We've assembled

Watch winder not winding new Locman watch
Hello everyone,Excuse me if this should be in the watch winding discussion, but it's mostly about why my new watch won't wind on any watch winder.I am a newbie to watch collecting and was given a beautiful Locman Montecristo watch as a starting gift. Love the watch, but am new to automatic watches. I don't wear this watch every day, so I decided to buy an automatic watch winder. I went with the expandable system by ACCURATIC that can be purchased on amazon. My problem is that the Locman will not wind when placed in the winder. It stops after a period of time. The Orbita database says my watch contains a "Base Valjoux 7750" movement and should be wound CW at 800 TPD. Are there watches that can't be wound by a watch winder? Do you think there is something wrong with the watch and should be sent back to Locman for service? Just doesn't seem right that it can only be wound by movement on my wrist.I did a test and waited till the watch had no energy left in the spring and then held the watc

question for ROC owners
I recently picked up a 26300 and the rotor makes a sort of ticking sound when it settles. It's not the ball bearings which make that familiar grinding noise, its when I flick my wrist, hear the rotor spin, then when it settles there is some sort of ticking sound. I can also hear it when if gently rock the watch and not use enough energy to make the rotor spin. - if that makes sense.Anyone experience this? Thanks
