Welcome to the small circle of individ­
uals who, if we are to be absolutely precise, demand
slightly more of a watch than absolute precision. Ap­
preciation of a watch is more than mere appreciation
of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingenious
idea. For the interplay between precision and im­
agination. Between time and timelessness. Between
boundaries and infinity. Between laws to which the
entire world is subject, and taste, which cannot be
dictated to anyone. That is why, since 1868, we have
been devoting rather more of our time to watches that
must not only run with absolute precision but which
also, with every passing second, exert a fascination
with the great achievements of master craftsmanship:
a fascination with new inventions of a technical, ma­
terial or formal nature, even if they are concealed in
minute details that are perhaps not even visible. You
are now the owner of a beautiful new example of this
IWC tradition. We would like to congratulate you on
your choice and send you our best wishes for the time
you will spend with your watch, which perhaps cannot
be described with any greater accuracy than it is here.
