Yea, IWC are great at the date complications. First time I ever heard of them TBH was back in the mid 80's reading a small ad in the Times concerning their new DaVinci. Was really impressed at the time.

I would love one of those.

Correction: I would love to be rich enough to be able to buy one of those.

Ditto, then I'd go and buy a few other watches.

I wonder if many of those who buy them do so out of love for watches or because it is a perceived status symbol.
Terrible waste if it is the latter.

Stunning,

But sooner or later they will have to stop copying Parnis watch designs :eek:;)

Well M, the fact they have to point this out;

And when the movement finally does run down, the small seconds hand at 9 o’clock, which also shows whether the watch is running, comes to a standstill.

Would suggest it's not exactly aimed at people with even the slimmest understanding of a mechanical watch. The second hand runs, your watch is running, it stops, your watch has run down. No shít Sherlock. :rolleyes:

Is it such people that "power reserve" complications on automatic watches are meant for? Never understood what the point of them is myself . . . if it's running, grand, if it's not, give it a shake!

It's nice, I like the blue dial , the sub dials but I could never wear it. Why ?? Because the fella who decided on the order of the annual calendar display needs a slap in the head !! I couldnt spend good money on a watch that in the wrong order.... Who says August 25 Tuesday ? No one !
At least swap the month and the day around to read "Tue 25 Aug" and then they would have had a really nice watch.

Oh and remove the Annual calendar wording from the dial also. It would make it a lot cleaner in my eyes.

Rant over :-)

For that money, if I was looking for a calendar would prefer one of these

(Assuming it's in the €20k range?)
I'd really like a patek Philippe perpetual, but given my general rule of not spending more than a months pay on anything I don't need, neither is likely to happen

Think the rrp is around 24k euro.

It's is one of my grails (what ever that means) but I know I would never wear it.

One sold on TZ recently enough. Asking was 10k sterling.
