IWC

A nice and freaky patent holder from the time whan IWC was a watch-tech company with Lothar Schmidt (owner of Sinn Watches) at the helm of the IWC watch "lab". Cheers, HSTE

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear to me that the Da Vinci has its own distinct identity. There’s a lot to take in, and I really like the overall impression of my latest purchase.

Is this perpetual calendar a must-have for any watch collection? A new addition from the final year of production.

In - I dare to say - immaculate condition. Cheers, HSTE

The watch is from ca. 1992. There were the ff. references (colors referring to the colors of the dials): 5215-001: rhodium plated (93 pieces) 5215-002: black (20 pieces) 5215-003: white (12 pieces) 5215-004: white with roman numbers (10 pieces) So, overal

Hadn't worn this one in a while. I think we've been together for 25 years.

Afternoon tea under a miniature tree (!): 2017 LBZ raw Sheng-Puerh. With so much coverage on pocket-watches and table clocks these days, this reference is ripe to make a comeback.

Deliciously gigantic. Best, Nicolas
