The right watch to come down

and relax a little in between.




When it gets really stressful, I take a break, close my eyes and listen to the sweet sounds of my beloved IWC Minute Repeater. Unfortunately, you can't hear that. Although the case is Platinum, the sound is sweet. 



Thanks for looking and sorry for posting again (and again and again and again and...).

I dreamed of this watch since the IWC Portuguese Minute Repeater was launched in 1995. But I couldnā€™t afford it at that time.

Truth being told I havenā€™t seen it in the metal, I admire this watch since I first saw it.

One day Iā€™ll have one, until then Iā€™ll just enjoy your photos.

You should do it.

I even sold some other watches (including a Patek Annual Calendar šŸ˜Ž) to get hold of this good piece. I have never regretted this.

Superb Thomas.

I love seeing this watch. Thank you very much. Itā€™s one of the nicest watches I have ever seen. I canā€™t imagine how beautiful it must sound and how wonderful it makes you feel. Weā€™re in good health my friend. Cheers Constantine

Thank you for your very kind and

warm words, dear Constantine! The JLC MR from Nico has probably the better (louder) sound. Platinum is not the best transmitter. But what I especially love about this watch is that it is not just tremendously beautiful but is really a robust daily wearer ... 

sublime watch and a watch that shows how insane this market is today.

A secondhand dealer I know very well had one for sale ... it was priced less than 1/3 of the Patek 5711/1a he also had for sale. I mean, around EURO 27K for a gold IWC minute repeater and EURO 85K for that steel 5711 .... INSANE

I got my second generation MR

which was an unworn safe queen and had been revised a few month before I bought it. I had to pay a much higher prize but still almost half of the prize of the mentioned Patek. You are right, itā€˜s insane. But everyone has to decide for themselves what they... 

2nd generation.

Mine is the 2nd generation. To trust generation has the old logo ā€œInternational Watch Companyā€. It is not difficult to distinguish the first and second generation from the third generation. The third (last) generation has the small seconds at 6:00, the fi...

But this is not an important historical knowledge and therefore not a real indicator of the aging process ... By the way: I wrote ā€žto trust generationā€œ and ment ā€žthe first generationā€œ. Perhaps also a sign of ... ? šŸ˜‰

A wonderful watch !

Thank you!

Yes, the IWC MR has been my grail watch for more than 25 years... Cheers Thomas

Ha! šŸ˜ƒ

I love this watch! Thank you for your kind words, dear nacelle. I've posted this IWC MR 2nd generation, which is one of my absolute grail pieces, so often that I don't even dare to open a new thread with it. šŸ˜Ž Therefore, I am very grateful to you, dear na... 

Thank you, my dear friend!

And for me it is also the essence of accuracy, which for me underlines the most important function of a watch - to show the time as accurately and reliably as possible. And it is also a protagonist of versatility. You can wear this MR in various situation...  

Sublime.

Beautiful watch. Goes perfectly with the shirt. I only wish you could post an audio file of the chime. Wear it in the best of health. Itā€™s a special watch. One of the best I have ever seen. CB.

Dear CB, thanks a lot for your very kind words!

 
 By: MTR : April 21st, 2021-10:32
ItĀ“s my absolute grail watch and I am very happy to be allowed to own it. I will send you a PM about her sound (Vimeo). Cheers Thomas

Thank you for your very friendly post.

 
 By: MTR : April 22nd, 2021-22:36
And I have to say that in some light conditions this watch shows also her huge romantic side. Combined with a touch of magic... Cheers Thomas ...  

Fully agree

Just wrote it in answer to your other post: I love your first generation of the MR. This old IWC logo combined with this romantic dial and case. It canā€™t get better. Enjoy it to the max!! Cheers Thomas

I have and will do.
