Coming soon….
Finally! 🙏
(1. photo that my AD sent me yesterday)
It's already arrived at my AD. I'll be able to pick it up next Tuesday. Since I haven't seen it in person yet, I've reserved the right not to take it if it doesn't sit well on my wrist or if I don't like it in person.
As all of us "old hands" know: you can only judge a watch by holding it in your hand or trying it on your wrist. Not by photos, no matter how great the results.
Otherwise, everything about this watch has already charmed me.
I'll keep you updated!
All the best, my dear watch friends,
Thomas

Excellent call to see it with your own eyes and try it on first
Many watches have charmed me. Then when I saw it in the metal, it was not quite convincing enough! There is no substitute for tying it on first ! Keep us posted
Thank you ☺️
The idea is definitely good, and the will and determination are strong. I'm curious to see if "the flesh is just as strong" and if I won't completely abandon all my resolutions once I have the good piece in front of me… 🤣
Now this is exciting, Thomas!
I think it’s a great looking IWC with some extraordinary horology. I hope it meets your expectations on Tuesday and I looking forward to hearing your real world thoughts about it. All the best, Jon
Thanks a lot, dear Jon!
I've already read and researched everything I can about this watch. 😂 I'm fascinated by this beast. Its blend of aesthetics, technical achievement, and practical usability… 🙏
It is amazing in person. However, completely
agree that you must try it on to be certain. Looking forward to seeing it on you! - Sebastian
Hi Sebastian, thanks a lot for your interesting comment!
Have you had the chance to see this beauty live yet?
I was fortunate enough to see it in person a few months ago when they did an event in Houston.
I am not the best photographer, but thankfully, my buddy Mark is good and took some good videos and pictures. ...
Incredible. One word to describe.
The Platinum case shines beautifully. The frosted finish on the dial works well to provide enough contrast yet lets you see the details beyond. I really like the dial layout where you can actually read and grasp all of the calendar information presented. ...
Thank you so much for your
very valuable impressions! 🙏🙏🙏 This helps me a lot. Can’t wait to see this gorgeous watch in the flesh. For the video: perhaps you can send me a PM? Kindest regards Thomas
It hasn't happened to me often
with a watch that completely took my breath away when I held it in my hand. It knocked me over. I HAD to have it!
It seems to me that
we have the same AD…😀😃😄 I wish you pick up this great watch otherwise….😃😃😄 Truly yours, Adam
Vienna? ☺️
A high motivation factor to pick up the watch. That damned hunting instinct… LOLLLLL 😁
Hope you enjoy it on the wrist as much as you seem to love the idea of it.
Very interesting watch I hope it exceeds your expectations and look forward to seeing writs shots and hearing your thoughts on it. Marc
Thanks a lot, dear Marc.
I like the whole concept. It’s far more wearable than the Patek Caliber 89 or the Franck Mueller Aeternitas Mega 4. And IWC 52460 caliber only uses eight more parts than the „standard perpetual calendar“ designed by Kurt Klaus. The case has a WR of 5 bar....
Thank you very much!
And I also find it very fascinating that the IWC Eternal won the GPHG award last year. ...
I agree! But
given the tough competition, it still surprised me. The Helio Tourbillon Perpetual from JLC, for example, is also a stunner… ...
Congratulations, Thomas!
I wish you a wonderful time meeting your watch in person next Tuesday. Keep us informed ! Best, Emmanuel
Thank you Emmanuel!
If everything goes well on Tuesday, I will send you the first honeymoon pictures. 🙏
A great looking watch , i have seen it during a event last year but never on the wrist.
Something i always do before buying a watch . Looking forward to see your choice
Thank you.
I think IWC has done a great job with the new range of Portuguese models last year. I find the black Obsidian and the Dune models particularly attractive. As for the blue version—as beautiful as it is—I'm not sure if it's truly timeless.
The watch looks amazing...
but for sure see and handle it in-person if you have the opportunity to do so before any commitment. Good luck!
I negotiated this specifically.
However, I had to put down a deposit, as only a very few of this model are being produced and there's corresponding global demand. But I think everyone assumes I'll be the one to take it. LOLLL
