IWC

A fascinating piece! And it’s full moon today!! So I HAD to open this thread before the weekend. ☺️🙏 Günter Blümlein and Kurt Klaus - a brilliant duo. The Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar took IWC to new heights in 1985. A visionary project. And today I am a g...  

I had owned also the predecessor model 3750 (case size 39mm) in white gold which I had sold to fund another watch and because the readability was not sufficient for me. Nevertheless I missed it terribly. And always looked for a successor. But it had to be...  

It’s perfect. I tried the current (third) version many times but couldn’t find the necessary love for it. Here is the current red gold iteration (PC and Chrono without Rattrapante), which I inspected in detail: ...  

This one: 🥰 ...  

A rather rare combination of PC & split second complications only. A poetic watch that measures time duration from the longest to the shortest…

Thanks a lot for watching. Cheers Thomas ...  

It’s definitely a keeper for me I will never let go.

We both have definitely to meet and also give the GP Neo Tourbillon Three Bridges a photo session! ☺️🙏 Perhaps there is also a WPS get-together in Europe in the near future?

I will send you a PM. ☺️

Love this ref- the unique case, pushers, lugs, platinum, rattrapante, PC. All top class

And - for me - pure perfection. 🙏 All the best Thomas ...  

Thanks for looking, montres1! 🙏

I’m a fan of busier dials, and the dial here is no question busy. But so appealing, especially in this colour too. I did own a similar dial layout in the Portuguese PPC and while busy it was always legible for me. I haven’t even mentioned the case and pus... 

I feel the same. The dial is … out of this world… And, yes, very legible. I also like the Portugieser version very much. I had the chance to try the Platinum version and the red gold version, but not with blue dial. Red gold: Platinum: All the best Thomas...  

All the best, Jon

This was one of the first shots after unpacking this beauty. ...  

Thanks for sharing

And it seems to be reliable to. An extremely accurate watch for daily use.

A beautiful 1st generation. And the readability seems to be much better than on my WG version.

Because it took IWC two separate titanium cases to accomplish the same thing! Maybe it was the the water-proofing? Yours is simply fantastic! Cazalea PS - one thing about these IWC calendar watches - you can't fake the date you took the photo without some...  

I am a big admirer of your Titanium versions. How waterproof are yours? My Da Vinci (2nd generation) has 3 bar. The photos of the 2nd generation were taken for this thread and some are from 2022. The photo of the first generation (I sold) was taken from t... 

Not found on the watch but in the literature. I talked to Kurt Klaus about it, and he said “Ja, you can swim anywhere with it - salt water no problems.” Cazalea ...
