IWC might lean toward pilot watch styles more often than not, but its most recent debut takes a decidedly earthbound angle. Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “AMG” is the result of a collaboration between IWC and Mercedes-AMG, which makes more sense when you discover that IWC has issued a number of Mercedes-AMG watches and is actually the official timing partner for the Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 racing team. The dial is made from pure carbon fiber, which is also found in F1 car construction and in many street-legal AMG models. The case is made with tough and light grade 5 titanium, the dial is made with exposed carbon fiber, and the silver chronograph subdials mimic both aeronautical and automotive gauges. The watch is powered by the IWC 69385 caliber mechanical automatic movement with a 46-hour power reserve. Although there’s no Mercedes-AMG branding on the face, the watch gets a tinted sapphire crystal caseback with the AMG logo and an AMG-style car wheel rotor. Although it’s a special edition watch, it’s not a limited-production version. IWC is currently taking pre-orders on its site.

The PAX Plus Vaporizer Is as Elegant as It Is Effective
Whether at home or on-the-go, when it comes to vaporizers, we want it all. We want to be able to use full flower or potent concentrates depending on the mood–and keep it smooth without any harsh smoke. We want multiple modes for unique combinations of flavor and vapor. We want an oven that’s as easy to clean as it is adjustable depending on the length of the session. Sounds impossible, right? It’s not with PAX Plus. In addition to packing all those features into one perfectly portable device, it’s also one the most sleek and stylish products that’s come out recently.
