What a great idea to start an IWC forum which is long overdue! So I have the chance to post it again: My Minute Repeater 5242 in Platinum. It’s the second generation with still the nice movement 95920 and so the seconds at 9. I wanted it so badly since fo...  

A most elegant watch!

Beautiful dial and numerals. And the watch fits your wrist perfectly. May I politely ask how does the minute repeater sound like? I ask because some people have said that one can hear the mechanism on a IWC minute repeater.

Many thanks, dear sham1!

I have learned that the IWC Minute Repeater is very reliable and robust compared with “typical” MRs because the construction is modular. That means that the MR module is placed between the dial and the movement not integrated in the movement. That makes t... 

Thank you for your reply Thomas!

Please PM me if it is not too much trouble., I would love to own a minute repeater but I cannot quite afford a Patek!

I just sent you the PM.

daily wearer which I couldn’t imagine at the beginning. But the 5242 seems to be robust and accurate which is a big plus for a normally rather delicate complication like a Minute Repetition. And thanks a lot for your kind words! 😊 Best Thomas

Happy Sunday to you doc.

I am an IWC fan. So glad to have the forum now. I did not know IWC made a minute repeater. This might be very bad for my bank account. There is an AD in Boston ,two hours south of me. I must go try to look at it. I hope you have a good day. CPB

Dear Tony!

Thomas , An amazing watch. It just exudes class.

 
 By: Costa (aka Connie) : February 23rd, 2020-06:27
I would love to hear what it sounds like. How many millimeters is it? Does it wear comfortably.? Wear it in the best of health.

Thank you, dear cpbmd!

 
 By: MTR : February 23rd, 2020-11:23
Yes, it wears extremely comfortably. The case has 42mm but the lugs are formed very thoughtfully. All the best Thomas ...
