Following the conclusion of a whirlwind week of watch releases for the inaugural Watches Wonders digital tradeshow, our twice-weekly Instagram Live show ABTW at HOME is back on the rails, this time with a new pair of guests who were also quite busy in April preparing and promoting a slew of important new releases for their respective brands.FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM WEDNESDAY, MAY 22nd at 10:00am PST // 1:00pm EST: CHRIS GRAINGER-HERROur first guest this week is on Wednesday with IWC CEO Chris Grainger-Herr, whos fresh off a reboot of IWCs classic Portugieser line, which contains not one, not two, but three impressive new sub-collections.
