Superb watch
Sep 10, 2019,03:01 AM
One scientist friend was telling me about the IWC Da Vinci, which has a chronograph with the perpetual Calendar.
He was telling me that he was mesmerized by the fact that this watch could handle an incredible range of time, from the 1/4th of a second for the chronograph, to the second, the minute, the hour, the day, the day of the week, the month, and the year with 4 digits.
It's like if you had a scale that could weight a grain of rice or a heavy truck.

First perpetual: a review of the 8-day master perpetual
By: ektaylor : September 9th, 2019-17:04
My first (and likely last) perpetual. I very much like this complication since I am a scientist and it is essentially an analogue computer to track the major astronomical cycles: periods of the earth’s rotation (day), moon’s orbit around the earth (moon p...
Thank you for this excellent review, ektaylor!

For me very interesting and helpful since I am still looking for a useful daily wear PC in a reasonable price category. The case is in SS, correct? Wear it in best health and enjoy your beautiful masterpiece, Thomas
Thanks for this excellent review

These are two watches I’m looking at very closely. Spent some time last week with a MUT PC. Both certainly have their appeal and two of the most desirable PCs for really watch lovers who appreciate a steel case
Beautiful watch!

I appreciate the time you took to help me understand the complexities behind the mechanism. I also would select a long power reserve as opposed to a thinner case. Cheers!
Nice review...

I had similar debates around PC's but elected the same model years ago when this one first came out. I wear it sparingly (note the date from an old photo) but find it to be a really beautiful and functional piece. Dave ...
Really nice JLC PC

Tried it on my wrist at my local JLC boutique a couple years ago. Hard to resist and part of me wishes I didn't. I like the heft and thickness of the watch...the UT perpetual has some advantages, but overall I like this 8-days perpetual more.
Superb watch

I am still looking for an affordable PC that I can set backwards...In the meantime, it is such pictures--as yours--that I will have to settle for. JLC makes extremely robust watches...Their next bar, I think, after their 1000 hours, for a PC, ought to be,...
