Pictures of the new IWC watches at the Beverly Hills IWC Boutique SIHH 2009 Trunk Show
The Beverly Hills IWC Boutique is currently showcasing the SIHH 2009 watches for a few days, so Ming, Art and I made took some time out of our work schedules and met up for lunch yesterday. After lunch at a local Italian restaurant, we then headed over to...
Very nice job, thanks Anthony, Art & Ming
I also like that DaVinci Perpetual. Do you think they intended to discontinue that 7750-based one, and replace it with their own design, but now are hanging on a bit longer? Mike
My favorite IWC is the....
The new IWC Aquatimer Chrono Galapagos Island is the one I really enjoyed the most! The vulcanized rubber feels great on the wrist and extremely comfortable. The quick strap detach is fantastic and very secure. -MW...
MW, it looks comfortable on the wrist, but...
...there's something about the rubber coating on this model that seems like too much of a good thing to me (Even the pushers are rubberized, wow!). Then there's the issue of dusty particles collecting on the case and strap. I feel like I want to wash th...
Thanks for this post, Anthony
And for your nice work, too! I'm not very found of IWC watches, this year. Each year, I have an eye on what IWC releases, as I quite love this brand. And for some years, now, I'm a bit deceived. Things are getting bigger, not necessary nicer, and when the...

A few wrist shots from the IWC boutique . . .
. . . starting with the one respectable photo of the steel Antoine de Saint Exupéry: I took several photos of all three versions, but this is the only one that came out well. Just for reference, my wrist is a little under 6 1/2"....
The Big Ingeneur Chronograph . . .
. . . wraps up today's wrist-shot gallery . . . comments, please. Cordially, Art...
This Big Pilot or Normal Big Pilot?
I also visited the SIHH mini-show in the early evening on the 16th for the purpose of seeing the special edition Big Pilot. It is always a pleasure to speak with the well-trained staff at IWC who are not only well-trained and extremely familiar with the p...
thanks for the pics and info guys. i'm not a big IWC fan, but like some of these
in particular my favourite is the Da Vinci Perp Digital. i like its clear display, the date at 9 and month at 3 works for me and the co-axial minute and hour chrono dial looks good. i personally dont like anything in rubber as it tends to attract dust tha...
