Very cool post.
I checked the one I have in my house, my Habring2 and thankfully it worked 😁. My other three are in the bank vault right now unfortunately.
Your IWC Eternal is a favorite of mine 👍
Terrible (!) photos of different PCs, but on this particular night (the transition from February 28th to March 1st), perhaps interesting after all.
Yesterday I wanted to do something I hadn’t done in quite a while: check my perpetual calendars. Especially since I had the Blancpain new acquisition in January. The basic idea was this: although I bought the BP „new and unworn“, it had already been sitti...
Yes, we enjoy this journey very much, Thomas!
Thanks for sharing. Both the instantaneous and the romantic way have their charm, imo. Best, Emmanuel
Thanks for the show ,
Tbh i always been a bit scared with the PCs around this jump . The Davinci,s i had failed a few times during the years i had them 😬. Others didn’t
The IWCs
and the Moser (!) were as fast as a whirlwind. And I’ve actually never had any issues with the IWCs. I think it’s simply a matter of luck. There are always “Monday watches” everywhere.
Thanks for sharing!
Informative and fun. The fact your better half is not only willing to put up with your hobby but also help you take pictures at midnight is a strong statement! ;-)
Now I actually find it quite funny. Now. Not in the night.
That night I felt like a juggler whose balls were all about to hit the floor at the same time. Luckily, I had the IWC Eternity (the most expensive piece) safely on my wrist. 😁🙏 I put her on the wrist just a few seconds before taking all the photos. That’s...
Thanks for this enlightening journey 👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
The photo quality doesn’t matter nearly as much as the story and the differences between watches 😊👍🏻 Wish watch magazines and ‘professional writers’ did more comparisons like this 😊🤷🏻♂️ Thanks again 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you very much for these great insights! Do I understand this correctly that both IWC‘s changed instantly at midnight without…
…any movement of the hands prior to that?
Yes!
Every display switched instantly at midnight. Without any movement of the hands prior to that. 🙏
Thank you for sharing Thomas, I enjoyed that quite a bit!
I had to laugh out loud a the, "sit down comfortably, line up the watches, proceed in perfect light and relaxed conditions" part, since that sounds a lot like me during a new watch unboxing. Sometimes I add some classical music to the background to comple...
What a show
Thanks for sharing! The IWC eternal is really something else but the entire lineup is spectacular. Best Andreas
Thank you for this very interesting and informative report about just how your watches behaved.
My favourite watch out of those is easily your IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Eternity and I found it very interesting that the IWC's changed instantly whilst the Blancpain took its time which I found a little disappointing. Marc
Hahahaha. It‘s my pleasure, dear Marc!
By the way: Stephan, a friend of mine and also a WIS, told me that evening, that his 3970 takes 3 hours to adjust… I have no idea with whether this is standard or only the case with his personal watch. All the best Thomas
Well done!
Ironically 3 of the 4 PCs I own are currently in for service - and I couldn’t be bothered to check the 4th. I’ll go take a look now 🤣

Your collection and taste for beautiful Watches continues to astound me.
They are all so beautiful. I am really interested in the Moser. It is just so unique. This obsession of ours sometimes takes over our life at least my wife thinks so. Enjoy March 1, my friend. Sincerely, Tony.
Lovely watches, Thomas.
The modern, clean look of the Eterrnal makes it my favourite. I’m glad there were no mishaps with your perpetuals! All the best, Jon
