IWC - the best luxury timepiece for its money

Dear Forumners,

I received today in the mail the Feb. '09 issue of the independent IW (International Watch) magazine.

Glancing through it I found a section called: The IW Guide - Perpetual Calendars. It contains photos, descriptions, and prices for about 30 different brands and models with prices starting at $13, 000 all the way up to $463,000.

After a quick evaluation of all things considered I reached a conclusion that the above shown IWC model, [i]IW376204[i], is the best bang for its price for perpetual calendar chronograph timepieces exhibited in the magazine luxury sector.

The correct price listed in the 2008 US price list for the stainless steel timepiece on a strap is $24,000 not $13,000 as listed in the magazine which happens to be the price for a similar model IW376403 chrono without the perpetual calendar.

How IWC can bring to market such complicated timepieces at their low prices is a credit to the company and definitely something to think about when in the market to purchase a perpetual calendar watch.

Regards,
Jack Freedman

Go IWC!!! nt.

Hi Jack, I just finished reading that section...

of the magazine and I thought the same thing.

Superb and key message (nt)

A Bargain

Not cheap, and well out of my price range, but this watch would be a bargain at that price.

Yes - and the value is much more significant....

The steel DaVinci Perpertual Edition Kurt Klaus is truly amazing for its value - but this is even more impressive when you consider that it is a special edition paying homage to the man who drove one of the most significant transformations of the luxury watch industry -with the original DaVinci Perpetual.

It should also be noted, that the movement used in this model - is indeed the same which has been powering the DaVinci Perpetuals since 1985 - proven with over 2-decades!!
