    One of the best collections I've seen! Well done!

    PS: Sorry for the poor picture quality. I did not manage to get a sharp image of all watches. And photographing ardoise dials without reflections is an art.

    Chris, we have almost the same: 2 out of 3 identical (I need that Ocean Racer Strap for my Yacht Club too) and the 3rd has at least the same movement. :-)

    Awesome collection! There is one other complication that you are also missing, although it is no longer offered by IWC;)

    Here are mine at the moment
    www.riihelaenterprises.com/my_img/iwc_collection_14_4_16_small_2.jpeg

    So, four Pilot's watches, four Portugiesers, one Inge, one Aquatimer, and one vintage rectangle.

    Besides my penchant for Pilot's watches and Portugiesers, I don't know if the picture really reveals anything more about me, except that I'm not very good at taking photographs...

    Hello Ben, what would be the complication in my collection that I missed (aside Worltimer and retrograde display)?

    Hello Urs - here are two clues; It is a complication exclusive to IWC and it is here somewhere on this page...

    Some outstanding collections. Just to put Urs mind to rest. I am not sure that the depth gauge that the Deep One and Deep Too! are horological complications. They are remarkable developments and typical of IWC's heritage of innovation (I think JLC may have developed something similar) but the complication is not strictly time related. On that basis, I think Urs has bagged most of the complications before one gets into the realm of knowing whether this evening you will be sat under Orion or some other constellation.

    Ben is referring to Split Minute complication, in this case.
    However, knowing which notch in Orion's Belt one is sitting under, could be extremely useful in certain situations. Not quite sure what situations exactly! LOL ;-)

    You nailed it Mark (Ralph, you were very close and my Split Minute Aquatimer does appear similar to the Deep One in my photo). This split minute complication, independent of the chronograph, is a complication unique to IWC. No IWC complication collection is complete without it;)

    Lol. Yes. Where to draw the line.... Sidereal Time, sunrise-sunset... That watch has a few....
