My Favourite IWC?

[rw16610]

I'm ashamed to say that over the years this amazing brand was overlooked for another, extremely well known company. This isn't entirely true come to think of it, because in either 2010 or 2011 I visited an AD (for Ulysses Nardin) and tried on an Ingenieur.

I somehow paid no attention to the fact this brand has some of the best pilots watches out! Saw someone post one of these on another forum and was totally blown away.

Chip was just in town with his IWC Top Gun LE Chrono and it was amazing. The ceramic still had some heft and thickness to it, but it was amazingly comfortable to wear.


I had the white dial IWC Portofino for a little while, but I needed up finding it too dressy for me. These chronos are very stylish.

Great to see Chip here! Big Pilot lots of appeal.

Baco Noir That Top Gun is an incredible piece! There's just something about the design, it's heritage, literally the perfect pilots watch in many ways. Extraordinarily versatile and timeless, makes me wish I got on one one of these years ago.

priamo What a nice watch! A legendary piece really, and other than Breitling I think they were widely used tools for aviators back in the day. I need to brush up on my IWC history and that should be a fun process.
