"Clubbing" with Gerald Genta: IWC Golf Club (Genta), Polo Club (Genta), Yacht Club II (Genta?)
The "Club" series was an interesting family within IWC. They were on the market from 1975/76 to 1980. The Golf Club and the Polo Club were designed by Gerald Genta. The Yacht Club II is most likely not a Genta design.
- Golf Club: SL 1830, produced 1975/76 - 1980; particularity on mine below: co-signed "Beyer"
- Polo Club: SL1831, produced 1975/76 - 1980. It is estimated that only ca. 350-400 pieces of this watch were produced in 4 variants (silver dial / black dial / with and without date)
- Yacht Club II: SL 3212, produced 1977 - 1980. This is the very rare (ca. 300-400 pieces) version with the automatic IWC 3254 calibre (JLC 889), the majority on the market had a Quartz movement

The Golf Club made me smile with its case ala Longines / Eterna / Lemania Majetek.
Great to have the three of them. You don't only have an impressive collection, but also an endless one. Best, Nicolas
Thanks for looking Alkiro. What I think is fascinating with this watch (next to its design).....
...is the ultraflat automatic JLC based movement (see herebelow last pic) Cheers, HSTE ...
