There's nothing wrong with buying watches that you can afford thanks to hard work. But then again, wouldn't it be better to buy something which will in turn give you a chance to contribute to a good cause?This is exactly what you will experience when you get the IWC Automatic for Laureus Sport for Good Foundation watch. This is a luxury watch which will at least ease off some of the guilt you get when buying a really expensive watch since it is for a good cause. This is actually the fourth edition in the IWC-Laureus Sport for Good Foundation series.The watch is based on the IWC Portuguese Automatic and sports a blue dial and matching leather strap that adds to its elegance. The watch, which is a collaboration between IWC and Laureus Foundation, carries the idea that there is an alternative to the vicious cycles of drug addiction, poverty, disease and violence.This watch will be available on a limited edition basis with only 1,000 pieces to be offered worldwide. Each of the watch will have a distinct number which is engraved on the case back. It also features the "team spirit" medallion showcasing the image of children with interlinked arms.

IWC Portofino Chronograph (Ref. IW391002)The 2011 IWC Portofino Chronograph automatic watch may be completely new, but it is still equipped with the good old Caliber 79320 self-winding movement.The caliber in question is a slightly modified version of the well-known ETA Valjoux 7750 base movement.As usual, the caliber features a rather average power reserve of 44 hours and has a small hacking seconds “complication” (just like the rest of the 7750-based movements.) When you set the watch, the second hand stops and resets to “0″ position, which helps to increase the timekeeper’s accuracy.The movement is enclosed in well-proportionate stainless steel case 42 millimeters in diameter and 13.5 mm thick. Like the rest of the refreshed series, the watch looks very slim and refined.Due to the limitations of the movement, the watch sports a standard tri-compass dial layout with a 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock, a 12-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock and a small seconds display at 9 o’clock.The inevitable “day of week” and date apertures are located at their usual positions at 3 o’clock.Well, although the watch is equipped with an ordinary movement and its collector’s value is almost zero, it may be a good choice if you are searching for a dressy timekeeper, which is supposed to be worn with business attire.
