A new IWC Perpetual Calendar! Thoughts?

Recommended Posts

Looks like there’s a new IWC rep, 

 

https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=352&products_id=21464

 

I’m no IWC expert here, but as a watch, this thing looks awesome! I really doubt the functions are actually a perpetual calendar...but as their ally, a very classy watch. 
 

359-B08-EA-35-F6-44-E0-840-C-FAD4-ADBE88

 

very pretty caseback! Don’t mind the asian balance bridge underneath the 30 deco plates..

comparing the asian 23J movement to the IWC cal. 52615, it falls short on all fronts!

this watch comes withOUT

28800 vph frequency

168 hours PR

54 jewels (instead you get 23 probably!)


5639-BF67-23-E2-47-BE-A602-1993723-D663-


41mm x 13mm according to Trusty, a very wearable size!
 

however, the gen is 44mm x 15mm...

and definitely not in stainless steel. 

6-DBC1601-6-B5-D-4-BAC-B256-F688972-AE82


print is pretty crisp! I’m sure it’s a couple miles off from the gen.  Also it looks like the year will flip with 2 discs, probably up to 2024 or something.


8-E65-BE6-F-8-BBF-42-D4-A2-D9-3-EC9939-F
 

looks thicker than 13mm IMO...


C216812-A-0-E6-C-467-E-8423-DA6-E3713848

Pretty details... Who knows if these complications work or not!

 

no doubt it’s leagues from gen, but it’s a pretty watch. The gen is 18kt WG or platinum. 
however, with the gen’s MSRP at $60K, This is a happy alternative to that look.

A tad on the dear side for me;

"...

IWC0466B - Portugieser Perp Cal IW503406 SS/LE White V9F A52610

$8,888.00 ..."

:blink:

I guess they haven't priced it yet, 8 is lucky in China so that's supposed to just be a lucky placeholder methinks :D

I mean I sure hope so, I don't think platinum plating should add up to that....

Yeah,

I for one will be interested if the price point is ok.

From InTime: Base Movement: SEIKO NH05A

Functions   Hours, minutes, day, date, month, year and moon display; Annual Calendar display  (Sub dial at 3 and 9 positions are no function)

What does it means: I've no idea... But just the fact that the case is "1:1 replicated" with 3mm difference with the gen is a no no for me.

I'm more interested into these variants:
