IWC

Daily wearer

 

Bought last year in NOS condition, this Ω calibre 1120 is a modified ETA movement but keeps perfect time and I love the subtle textured blue dial, which often looks grey in differing light.   I dislike the later addition of the Constellation with the large claws.   I should prefer the date to match the dial.   However I added this to my collection because it was my desired icon of Ω.

"Daily wearer" is a misnomer where we all have several choices to make.   My metal bracelet watches are worn least against those with leather straps and I think that will answer your question in that I have enough bracelet watches if they are to have a chance on my wrist.   However I love JLC watches and their movements, so you pose a difficult question.

I saw one of these few weeks ago and cannot take it out of my head. I know it has an ETA movement, but the watch looks really amazing and with the blue dial it is something special. I currently own the AP 15202 (exceptional) but I do not plan to use it as...

If I remember correctly, the original versions of both watches are designed by Gerald Genta. Just like AP Royal Oak and PP Nautilus. Best Kari

Love the watch!

I'm frankly undecided on the movement. Nothing against ETA movements per se, but I think IWC should have gone in-house for their classic Ingenieur. For IWC: higher margins; for the customer: less value. I don't like that.

agree

Been on my radar, but with the white and gold hands. But there are so many ones in that price range. Bremont Solo on bracelet, submariner ( pre-owned). What to do, what to do. Also like the Grand Seiko offerings, even the Quartz versions.
