Thanks for the kind words and your detailed answer!
Your Novecento (and the photo) is superb (IWC has done a great job, obviously)! And I like your story very much.

Thanks again! Best.

one of those that I discovered when my watch enthusiasm started ... And while I prefer round shaped watches, this one is beautiful. Just out of interest ì just checked them on chrono24 .... Many of them for sale at 7-8 K .... thats for free for a perpetua...
Dial layout, crown and buckle are really beautiful.

...other than that, it's pretty damn cool ; )
I personally don’t mind the “flipping” of the months.
Good enough as it is for me. I even think I might like it a little better like this: less regular or monotonous.
I'm glad to see so many admirers of the IWC Novecento here!
Here is mine! This one is a model 3545, which was the first of 2 versions (the one in quattro _spirit's photos is a 3546). Other than some different dial color options that changed with time on market, they only differ by movement; the 3545 has a circular...

I heard that the JLC movement required less servicing
It was quite some time ago, but IWC had a message board that I joined and the moderator gave that reason. I haven't had problems with time keeping, but I keep it running on a winder because it is tedious to reset the calendar if you put it away for severa...
Yes, your lacquered dial looks great!
And I'm very happy that this post gave you the opportunity to share your watch with us. Have a nice week-end! Best, Emmanuel
Watch winders are a great invention...
As long as the watch is set to the same TPD and winder mode, it will keep running well for a long time. Here are some references: blog.mozsly.com
