For the first time a brand signature which has been reduced, as much as regards the Pallweber's remake. Is it the result of Kern's leave? If so, why did he wait so long? 😉
Waiting for case back photos, but i'm a bit scared
Apparently a new movement with two barrels seperately feeding clockwork and jumping mechanism. It fills the whole case, so the whole watch can't be much smaller. All dials are enamel and the price is quite reasonable. Also the other anniversary models are quite nice and impressive, if you like big watches.
love the Pallweber Edition .
Even if I would have written IWC differently and in another location... can't wait to see it in the metal! The other pieces are less surprising with some with a strong feeling of deja-vu. Fx
