IWC Portuguese Minute Repeater

[justin-banks]

Hi All,
Just a quickie to share some photos of my current squeeze. Its a 2004 International Watch Company Portuguese Minute Repeater, 18kt Rose Gold, Limited to 250.
Bit expensive but the most elegant and unassuming watch on the market today. Only those who know what it is are taken aback when they see the minute repeater slider, everyone else just likes its simplicity.
Anyway here you go:









The first photo was done by someone who knows what they were doing, the rest are mine so the quality is suspect. How do you photograph watches?
Anyway, this is a real watch lovers watch as all the fascination is in the movement!
Happy new year to everyone!
Justin

It is nice, and as you say, very subtle and classy!

That's a lovely piece Justin. All well in the old car world then?!

Lovely watch there.

Edited to add: I've just watched a video on youtube of a demonstration of this watch. It's worth every penny!

Well done. Love it. I am glad to see people investing in watches like this rather than some diamond clad gratuitous display of wealth.
