Complications
Nicolas (amanico) presents the IWC Destriero Scafusia Platinum, a watch that challenges perceptions of haute horlogerie by building a grand complication on a heavily modified, yet fundamentally robust, base movement. His post invites collectors to appreciate the intricate engineering and finishing required to transform a 'pedestrian' caliber into a masterpiece worthy of a platinum case. This piece remains a fascinating study in IWC's approach to complex watchmaking.
It might just be my taste but I think it fits the old school design better.
âĶI ask the ineluctable question: who is the (lucky) knight?
but I find YG to suit the style of the case better.
Only for Italians, which is odd because IWC is not
or "Oh, this old thing? It's just my IWC platinum perpetual calendar grand complication with blah blah blah, etc etc" Speaking as one who now has 5-6 IWCs and owned at least a dozen before, I'm torn. It would be easier to just say, "It's a Patek"
They might as well also tell them that "Probus Scafusia" is not Latin for "good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen." ð
