You can never be too prepared! I hope all goes well on 31st/1st. All the best, Jon
The new year's jump will be spectacular. Best, Emmanuel
P.S: I never understood why IWC and GS orient their straps the opposite way (compared to other watch brands). Unique, for sure
Agree regarding this being one of cornerstone watch lines of IWC! And I love that everything is controlled via the crown.
So true! All the best on that day and the whole 2026 for you as well!
I have heard a couple of versions as to why they do that, but do not find any of these two compelling. So keep wondering myself
