К сожалению, то о чем говорили 1,5 месяца назад на SIHH сбылось. IWC принял решение закрыть печатную версию журнала Watch International. Вот письмо опубликованное в последнем номере:
Цитата:
Dear SUBSCRIBER,
With this Aquatimer Edition of Watch International we are exploring new fields on the world of IWC Schaffhausen.
It is no secret that we take an active stance for the environment on a wide front. As a manufacturer of diver's watches, IWC Schaffhausen feels especially committed to one project in particular: the preservation of the unique Galapagos environment, above and below the water line. Our partnership with the Charles Darwin Foundation, which is active there on the spot, is very close to our heart, and therefore at the core of this issue.
2014 is IWC Schaffhausen's year of the Aquatimer, a year full of evolution. And as we know from the incredible flora and fauna from the Galapagos Islands, nothing is as constant as change.
Also Watch International will evolve in the upcoming months and - just like our products - focus on innovation.
After 24 years of print publication, the Aquatimer Edition will be the last printed magazine issue. From now on, you can discover the exciting stories from Watch International exclusively on iwc.com.
With a massively growing online audience and exciting additional material to our stories, we invite you to continuously explore the stories that evolve around our timepieces. All our articles will hence be accessible free of subscription fees and will further be enriched by use of additional video and audio content.
As you have subscribed for further issues of Watch International, we kindly ask you to contact watch-abo@heerdruck.ch or Marion Roth, Watch International Subscriptions, Heer Druck AG, CH-8583 Sulgen, tel. +41 71 644 91 91, in order to arrange your refund.

Очень жаль. Журнал выходил в разных форматах с 1991 года. Вот несколько фоток моей подборочки:
Будет сильно не хватать
