All these minute repeaters are amazing watches. I never knew IWC made this complicated and elegant watch until I saw Thomas’ a few years ago.

I like discussing the subtleties of these watches. Figuring out which is the best is a fools errand however. That is like like trying to figure out which Ferrari is the best. They are all incredible time pieces with their own Characteristics that make them special. I would love to own any one of them.
Gentlemen, wear them all in the best of health.

Normally a Minute Repeater has the strike function integrated in the movement. So usually you see the hammers and gongs from the back of the watch. The con of these movements is that they are rather delicate and require a huge amount of fine adjustment. T...
Beautiful watch, Nicolas!

And I like this older reference better than the new one with IWC in non-italic font. It just looks classier.
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

What a beauty!! I love this very romantic old logo and the warm tone due the plexi of this first generation. A marvel. A milestone. A wonder. Best Thomas
