We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

What’s even more impressive about IWC’s perpetual calendars is that unlike others, there are no pushbutton correctors on the case band. Rather, the movement is “mechanically programmed” for all of the irregularities that it will ever encounter except for quadracentennial non-leap years.

For me, the most beautiful luxury watch out there. Hope I can make my way into this range someday. Would proudly use it as a Portuguese myself!

Is that a cut on the left index finger? Take care, talking hands man!

sometimes the facts are more amazing than the watches shown

These are grail stuff. IWC knocks these out of the park with ease. Thanks for showcasing one of my favorite brands.

if only I could afford it. The older version is just simply stunning...

I wish I was as good as explaining anything as you are explaining this in-depth and complicated. Every video I learn something new.

the warm tone from the rose gold metal accommodate the blue dials so amazingly well

Thank you for showcasing some IWC material! I'd still love to see some UpClose and Personal BigPilot love.

Thank you so much for the informative review! I was always intrigued by the full year on the dial, and therefore bought the IWC GST Perpetual Calendar Chronograph in Titanium this summer: Beautiful dial, precise clockwork, easy to manage the setting and lightweight as well. These pre-owned IWC PC’s are not cheap nowadays, but a lot of value for money.

Well detailed and informative video I watched it through because who doesn’t appreciate good information in a time where it’s taken for granted.

Wow, those IWCs are stunning!

I have a IWC Pilot, its a gem, its a quirky and difficult to handle, but I still love it. I look at it and think, this is special, and nobody understands my choice, and you, my dear IWC are a piece of kit, in my eyes. Only another watch freak will understand. If you want to make a statement buy a Rolex like mine. Nobody really knows IWC, but you, you the wearer. You are a collector. But that possibly the point. My next is the Lange & Sohne. Nobody will understand that either. But i will. Im in dream land. So ill live in my watch dream. Ill buy one, then feel frustrated. Because nobody really understands. But isnt that the point....ohhh dear, its a drug

stunning macro shots and beautiful watches

Remarkable macro shots! And great, inspiring story as well.

As someone who has the perpetual, let me say thank you for finally making a video of it. I'm glad the day finally came, and what a great video once again! Well done!

The IWC perpetual is probably my grail watch, and it's the one i'll never own. Not because of cost (although that is a slight issue) but because it's simply too huge! at over 44mm it would look absolutely bizarre on me. Other makers (JLC and AP etc) seem to be able to fit an auto perpetual into a much smaller case, i feel IWC could have made this work on the smaller 41mm portugese case. Sadly one i'll have to miss out on!

IWC made great watches. The Portugeuser perpetual calendar is my favorite, and not the pilot perpetual calendar. I like the golden one with white dial.

the moon phase is a must..imo

I'd trade the chronograph function for a day of the week and moonphase display. I really like the ALS style digital display

Great looking watch...I wish

Interesting, i didn't know IWC used the same mechanical automatic winding system as Seiko, the bit that characterizes the system, Seiko calls the ''Magic lever'' it's clearly visible at min 5:50, and looks like a steel fork with rear facing barbs, that chews on a brass wheel with small teeth.

Wow this is incredible.

IWC.. my favorite watch brand. Maker of perfectly engineered and functionally beautiful watches.. at any price point. I would like to have this particular model some day...

I suggest a review of the Montblanc Metamorphosis

Nice sales talk, is it made of hard or soft plastic ?

IWC may have found the best possible colour combination with these watches.

I am very fond of this design actually. I mean, there are so many different and very simple adjustments to a watch design a rational watchmaker would have done to avoid cutting 12 and 6, so that my only explanation they were aiming for such a reaction. Why did they do it?

this watch is so beautiful

There are fakes that look like some complicated watches, but don't have the real functions. So unless you try, you'll never know. For example copies of Sky Dweller don't have any bezel controller, ofc annual calendar and most other features, but they still look pretty convincing. Until you pull out that crown.

Nice video a always, watching this wearing a Seiko Premier Kinetic Perpetual. A very much cheaper and very different watch. I really love hand wound and automatics, and own several of them. But the fascination when waking up the Seiko 7D48-0AA0 from it's sleep mode, and watching the hands setting them selves correct never gets old. Bought the watch in 2008, and have never set the date or year, or for that matter changed battery, always 100% reliable. Maybe the Lexus of watches.

Both very elegant, both very desirable. Pity about the relatively large diameter (for smaller wristed types) for such classically designed pieces. I guess the thickness is unavoidable, with that much mechanical complexity.

At 1:20 where we see the full year spelt out in 4 digits, I wonder if the first two digits "20" are static or a full circle allowing the watch to be used up until year 9999. Any idea?

@GamerReborn
