IWC Orchestra

The World's Teeniest Orchestra (Built By IWC)

Today, August 1st, is Swiss National Day. So happy Swiss National Day! We're always in favor of introducing festivities into an otherwise mundane workday, and, seeing that the celebrations were pretty subdued stateside, we decided to import some from Switzerland (although the celebrations are pretty subdued there too, the Swiss being discreet people). Here's a video that the IWC watch company made of their watchmakers playing tiny little instruments. The conductor is master watchmaker Kurt Klaus, and the watch that appears at the 0:53 mark is the Portuguese Siderale Scuderia, winner in the Watch-Snob Approved category of the 2013 AskMen Watch Awards.
