I am not so much of an in-house ayatollah myself. A good movement is a good movement.
Some live shots of the “quietly” released IWC Pilot’s Watch Mk XX . . .
Had the opportunity to see the new Mk XX in the metal yesterday: The EasX-CHANGE system: Mk XX vs Mk XVIII: Wrist shot: Observations: Initially, I thought IWC “moved” the date window closer to the 3 o’clock position on the Mk XX. But the reality is that t...
An extremely compelling product! Finally with in-house movement without the ridiculous price premium as charged under the previous CEO.
Is it a single or double barrel movement?
FWIW, the movement was developed by ValFleurier and used in other Richemont brands.

I don’t mind. The ETA 2892-A2 is a legendary movement and ValFleurier does a lot for other Richemont brands.
120 hours of power reserve is fantastic if it was achieved with at least two barrels. I saw both the black and the blue in real life and they look stunning!
Right! I only posted that as a matter of fact.
That said, the term "in-house" should only be used when a movement is fully developed by the brand itself and not by its parent company's other subsidiary. Especially when said movement is based on a generic, legendary or otherwise, movement.
Has anyone bought one of the new mark xx?
If you have, I would be very interested to read your thoughts. I am tempted to get one, as an all day every day watch. But can't decide on the blue or black dial, which seems to be more difficult to get here in the UK.
