"  These days, Iceland is known for two things mainly: volcanoes and financial collapse. Neither of those are good things to be known for. Well, we&amp;#039;d like to add one more to the list: watchmaking. JS Watch Co. \u2014 located in the city of Reykjavik \u2014 has been manufacturing mechanical timepieces to exacting standards since its founding in 2005. So exacting that the automatic SIF N.A.R.T. (North Atlantic Rescue Timer, pictured above), created for the Icelandic coast guard, is waterproof to one thousand meters. That is absolutely unheard of outside of watches that go on the wrists of actual professional divers, and yet it&amp;#039;s available even if you aren&amp;#039;t filming an episode for Shark Week. Technical achievements aside, the watches are all of simple, with elegant designs and classic proportions. A well-deserved check in the win column for the island nation.
