My knee jerk response was that I hate it…second response, looks good on Lewis…he is edgy with his style and it works…my third thought is…
Whatever it takes to keep the cool brands going…so long as there is something for all of us…they have so many conservative, beautiful watches, including my 5002…why not?
IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN UNVEILS ITS CERALUME® TECHNOLOGY AND MANUFACTURES THE FIRST FULLY LUMINOUS CERAMIC WATCH
Schaffhausen, 27 th May 2024: IWC Schaffhausen has developed a proprietary luminous ceramic technology called Ceralume ® . Based on a highly engineered and patent-pending process, developed by IWC’s engineering division XPL, the technology enables IWC to ...

They made a version with Vantablack hands...
...so you can see the watch, but have no idea what time it is : )

In the voice of me as a 12 year old
"OMG, thats so kewwwwl". The 43 year old me murmurs discontent under my breath while shaking my head.
