A very special watch!
Truly a very special piece! Thanks for sharing. Minute repeater is really slow on this one - the examples I've heard took 25-27 seconds to do the 12:59 chiming sequence!
IWC Destriero Scafusia Platinum.
A true grande complication, bases on a pedestrian movement, heavily reworked. Best, Nicolas ...
I think I prefer the yellow gold variant.
It might just be my taste but I think it fits the old school design better. ...
It's a matter of taste of course,
but I find YG to suit the style of the case better.
I couldn’t pronounce its name properly to save my life
Only for Italians, which is odd because IWC is not
Then ChatGPT should tell IWC they have been wrong...😉
They might as well also tell them that "Probus Scafusia" is not Latin for "good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen." 😂
Yes, but if asked, wouldn't one sound like a dick saying, "I'm wearing my destriero scafusia"
or "Oh, this old thing? It's just my IWC platinum perpetual calendar grand complication with blah blah blah, etc etc" Speaking as one who now has 5-6 IWCs and owned at least a dozen before, I'm torn. It would be easier to just say, "It's a Patek"
