One of those that always captured the eye but perhaps I didn’t appreciate the design (case, lugs, pushers).
I often thought of it as somewhat dated over the years, but the last three or four years I’m really seeing the beauty in these. I think some of it is in the fact that it’s got a really strong visual impact, a personality.
In a sea of ordinary this one really stands out.
After enjoying
my Moser Perpetual Purity yesterday and over midnight (change from February 28th to March 1st, 2022), it is now time for a turn to my beloved IWC Perpetual Calendar Rattrapante in Platinum again. The date change over night was also completely uncomplicate...
Thanks a lot, dear Tony.
It’s indeed a great pleasure and love!! And my longest hunt. It took me 25 years to find the right specimen in best (unworn) condition. ...
Thanks a lot, dear Fabrizio.
For your kind words and for rescuing my thread. 🙏 The new update is a great success, but sometimes still has teething problems. Cheers Thomas
Normally not my style
But on this ref I love the lugs and overall style. Kurt Klaus PC to boot!
Kurt Klaus is one of the best.
A genius. I loved this watch from the moment I bought the first generation (a regular PC chrono in white gold) which was a milestone in watchmaking in these days. And also a symbol of the rebellion of the watch industry in the quartz crisis. Some years la...
I thought perpetuals had to have
a leap year indicator, that's what made them perpetuals. Am I missing seeing one on this one? Nice watch!!
It's either that or a full year readout which is the case with this watch...
IWC does have another PC with such an indicator as well: ...
If you compare both versions
what’s your favorite one? For me personally still the one on the right side.
I prefer the traditional model...
And, this would be my choice from the current offerings... ...
An excellent choice.
The dial colour is wonderful and discreet and calms down the massive appearance of the watch to an elegant look.
As IWC already explained the Da Vinci
shows the full year. And here another example from Moser with a module on the backside showing year and leap year: Best Thomas ...
Such a amazing and beautiful watch
The more is see this gorgeous DaVinci the more i want one back 🙏🏻
You should look for another one.
I can especially recommend the second generation with its 41mm case and - at least in my opinion - a much better readability. Thanks for looking. Cheers Thomas

Thanks a lot, Jay!
Yes, it’s definitely unique. You like the design or not. For me it is timeless perfection. Because the strap lugs are movable, the watch really nestles up against the wrist. This makes it a perfect companion for almost any wrist size. Best Thomas ...
It definitely is.
Like your Omega Railmaster XXL, that made a lasting impression on me. What a beast! Cheers Thomas
