IWC

Hard to believe that it is 22 years old, this one. A pity I lost it. Best, Nicolas

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.

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

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

Credit: Bulang And Sons. Superb dial with warm tritium dots and hands. And the lack of date makes this dial look so pure! Best, Nicolas

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
