Some beautiful pieces there.
The Big Ingenieur Chronos in particular are very cool, but I fear a bit big for most wrists.
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...
NIcolas, I must agree on all accounts.
Anthony, thanks for the post. IWC seems to be heading farther away from what I admire most about them -- clean, simple and refined dials, form for function. Best, Jed
I stopped by the show also.
Sorry I didn't run into you, Anthony. It was a nice show and the staff was very courteous. However, I came away unsatisfied because "bigger" seems to all IWC is trying to do. If one wants a wearable, comfortable smaller watch the only choices are those th...
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...
