Two months ago I took the courage to go for my dream watch: A Portuguiese Minute Repeater. But when I saw my AD to order the watch, he offered a Portuguiese Tourbillon Mystère as an alternative. What to do in that situation?! I had to oversleep on the decision, but then I made the decision of my life: I ordered both watches! Since then my friends consider me as totally “IWC crazy” and presumably they are true, but who cares?! They will never understand my decision as they are all no watch “aficionados”. Now two weeks ago I got my two beauties. Please apologize the poor quality of the pictures, but I faced similar problems as Michael Friedberg with his PRT: Reflections on the Ardoise dial! But I can confirm to you: In reality both watches are absolutely stunning, the slow oscillation of the Tourbillon an eye catcher and the chime of the Minute Repeater an enthrallment!
