IWC Pilot. Engineered for aviators.

Pilot's Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Miramar. Ref. 3880: An XL uniform doesn't turn a man into a great pilot. After all, the cream of the crop – as members of the TOP GUN squadron are trained to be – regularly go way beyond the limits of ordinary humans. A watch designed to do the same is the Pilot's Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Miramar. Its high-tech ceramic and titanium case, together with a soft-iron inner case to protect the movement against magnetic fields, is absolutely indestructible. Small wonder, then, that it occasionally goes much further than its wearer's wrist.

Mechanical chronograph movement | Self-winding | 68-hour power reserve when fully wound | Date display | Stopwatch function with minutes and seconds | Flyback function | Small hacking seconds | Soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields | Screw-in crown | Sapphire glass, convex, antireflective coating on both sides | Water-resistant 6 bar | IWC. Engineered for men.

Jane Waterous E x t r a o r d i n a r y, G i f t e d , I n s i g h t f u l

“The Gatherings” It began as an accident. Fifteen years of Bahamian family reunions, new and old neighbor drop-ins and countless homecentered children celebrations, taught gifted contemporary artist Jane Waterous, a thing or two about the magic of “gatherings”. Much more than just a meeting place for an exchange of stories and unscripted conversation, Jane saw gatherings as a place where memories were made and dreams first imagined. It was here where Jane found her inspiration to use traditional and new media in surprising and innovative ways. Her signature 3 dimensional series of sculpture-like figures are the embodiment of 3 decades of work. Jane’s art literally and figuratively jumps off the canvas and dances in a synergistic halo of light, color and action. While each work conveys a different emotional experience, they share a feeling of joy and wonderment. For the artist, life IS a series of gatherings—that all add up to a life that is lived. Perhaps that, in the end, is no accident at all. “The Harmony Series” The Harmony Series is a more literal interpretation of the same experiences. Instead of juxtaposing movement, light and color, the artist moves inwards and reminds us where the seeds of life are ultimately sewn—in the soul. Each painting captures the spirit and inner calm of the individual- and invites all to travel roads that are known only to them. “Resination’ Is a series that is an evolution of “Gatherings” and “The Harmony Series”. While on the surface, it is a departure from both, a closer examination shows the similarities rather than the differences between the 2 series of works. It involves a unique and often fanciful application of resin and acrylic paints to create both surprising and iconic imagery. Each layer glistens and consumes the canvas -- creating a space for fun and deeper contemplation. Its simplicity creates the magic that allows one to intertwine their own story with the artist’s. “Resination” is at its essence, a ‘tour de force” of emotion, passion and folly and an invitation for all, to remember and to join the dialogue.
