Thanks Adrian, thinking all of us IWC fans appreciate the through descriptions of the movements and case without having to travel to an IWC AD. Mine is 1.5 hours away so learning from you is a nice treat!
How can you say “clearly” when you’re wrong? 🤡 And how can you say “favourable”, that’s implying you know my thoughts better than me? So odd. You get a double 🤡🤡
@@cdm765If Mr.Adrian were paid for this review then Why would he say negative things about the watch ? Sometimes just take a second and think before typing comments !
IWC are one of the best Swiss watch brands. Their customer service is unmatched in the industry and their watches are top notch quality. Just walk into one of their boutiques. They’re just slightly too big for my taste but besides that, all praises towards IWC are warranted. This is truly one of the top 2 or 3 best watch enthusiasts watch brand.
nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
Is the seconds hand moving when hacking with crown pulled normal for watches at this price point? (3:36) I've noticed the portugieser 40mm doing the same when I checked it out in person. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of hacking for setting accurate time?
I love IWC, but is this a paid review? Feels like it by the way you’re describing the cons. Can you let us know please Adrian? Were you paid for this review? Thanks in advance. Big fan of your work and love your b&j straps. 👌
I don't find 13mm for an automatic chronograph thick. It's actually quite proportional to the 41mm case and appropriate. A Daytona for comparison is 12.3mm, which is fantastic, but other automatic chronographs are usually in the 15mm height range.
being too thin puts pressure on the engineering integrity of the case and movement. I am going to do a video on "thin watches"... 🤓 the non-screw down case back on the 7 day looks like an attempt to reduce size... umm... I need to see in the hand but I hope it is not a size thing or responding to fashion trend.
Hi Adrian, it would be really great if you could have slightly longer wrist shots in your videos and about 6 inches or so back from your current camera zoom level... this gives us viewers a little more of an idea of what the watch looks like on the wrist (which lets be honest is the main thing we're interested in). Throughout the video, the wrist shots are only a few seconds in length before cutting away and I find myself skipping through or rewinding just to get a good look at the product! many thanks
Something tells me it’ll be more than fifty quid. Reminds me of that famous T E Lawrence Omega which, I suppose was also a pocket watch influenced piece?
Always surprising to see the number font on the sub dials NOT matching that of the main dial (see the number "'" and "4" for example). So much gushing over how every detail was attended to. Yet this, "nails on the chalkboard" error persists. Ugh!
Very nice looking watches, but I would much much prefer a thinner watch and a ~60 hour power reserve. With regard to the chronograph, I hope the new models have better pusher action than the old model. When I played around with the older model about a year ago I was shocked at how absolutely crappy the feel was when using the chronograph, especially for such an expensive watch.
3:35 I trink IWC has big problems with their movements; look at the seconds and the minutes hands when Adrian is pulling out the crown. They jump weirdly. My Mark XX does the same. IWC please fix that movement problems. For this price point definitely not accebtable.
It's so weird that you skipped Zenith, the best new models at watches& wonders 2024! How could you not have discovered the first Zenith Defy diver watches and chronograph watches!
Don’t know why anyone puts anti reflective coatings on outside. Seen so many that looks rubbish after a few years. Let’s put an almost un scratch-able crystal on a watch and then coat it in something that is easily scratched… weird.
