The Latest News About Watches

Sinn is celebrating its 65th anniversary with a limited edition of one of its most peculiar watches. Not peculiar in terms of design, but because it feels like an outlier to the rest of their catalog, though in some respects, it’s also the most recognizable. The Sinn 903 is a pilot’s chronograph with an internal […] The post The Sinn 903 Returns in Titanium, Updating an Iconic Design appeared first on Worn & Wound.

With all the challenges that come with owning vintage watches—servicing, wear on components, wildly varying valuation—sometimes it’s easier to look for something that simply looks vintage instead.

The Audemars Piguet Heritage: Behind the Scenes and Extraordinary Projects Sébastian Vivas, Heritage and Museum Director at Audemars Piguet (Le Brassus, Switzerland) March 2, 2026 Founded in 1875, Audemars Piguet has a rich and complex history, with many chapters yet to be explored. Sébastian Vivas, who has been director of the Audemars Piguet Museum since 2012, will explain how the small Heritage team organizes, enriches, and studies the brand's archives and historical collections. Some research reveals surprises that require a thorough review. What is the genesis of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet? What are the main principles behind restoration? What guides the brand’s purchase strategy at auctions? Who is behind the major anniversary exhibitions? At the March 2026 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Vivas will take you behind the scenes of a brand that is as historic as it is dynamic, where the Heritage Department is responsible for publications such as “The Watch – Stories and Savoir Faire”, and the APChronicles collectors' platform.

I remember the year was 1998 and I was in Portugal with IWC as the brand unveiled its first Portugieser Chronograph. It was a real departure for the collection —  now with  a chronograph complication. At the time, some colleagues were skeptic about adding a chronograph to an iconic time-only line.

Since its introduction in 1998, the classic IWC Portugieser Chronograph (ref. IW3914) has barely evolved visually. It has only undergone a technical upgrade in 2020, with the introduction of a new generation featuring a manufacture calibre inside (ref. IW3916).
