for a great report and beautiful photos.

Just a small correction: The auto winding in IWC chrono is not Pellaton's design, but a new mechanism very similar to Seiko's Magic Lever. It has 2 mutually offset (pairs of) pawls to increase the efficiency - one pawl drives the pawl wheel while the other one is in the "dead angle" zone. They also claim that it is more service friendly than the Magic Lever - due to its modular design, I guess (which is similar to Pellaton).
