Cheers from the cellar

This one was for sale at one point

I have never seen these before, thank you!!!!! >>>

It's really too bad that this kind of craftsmanship no longer exists.

This would make a cool caseback for a wristwatch ,-))))

Very interesting, Cellar!...

Thanks for another informative tour!

Best regards,
Jim

But

I'm not so into pocket watches. BUT. If IWC would produce the spider or the right one of the trio again, I would try and buy one, out of sheer admiration. These watches look fantastic. With maybe still the ability to build pocket watches (the last one may have been built in 2009), wouldn't they sell 100 of these as fast as lightning? A special edition for IWC die hard admirors?

Kind regards,
Paul, wearing rose gold VC Portuguese: this tribute to the past is at least admired by me

"Love This Tour"...Very Nice. Thanks, cellar!...nt
