One of my favorite IWCs...
I happen to possess one of these puppies as well (the older Ceramic version) and it's quite a cool timepiece. I do enjoy that militaristic watch vibe. Did you know, Richard Habring was tapped by IWC to help design the Split-Seconds module of the movement?...
Yes
He designed arguably the most cost effective split you can buy. I love that IWC is still using it. I’ve seen people complain this movement isn’t in house 🤦♂️🤷♂️.
The movement isn't entirely in-house...
It uses a base movement to drive the mechanism. So the base movement is definitely outsourced. The split module is mostly in-house as nobody else uses an identical design. Although Habring has made somewhat similar designs for other brands and his own tit...
My favourite IWC
Great looking tool watch, still blemish free after two months and a rare one to see in the wild! The rattrapante complication now warrantied for 8y by IWC-what confidence does that say?
