Lot Essay

The split-seconds chronograph is considered one of the pinnacles of watchmaking, requiring an incredible amount of technical prowess to design, and even more to construct and assemble. The present timepiece combines such an important and difficult complication with the strong and masculine lines IWC is recognized and praised for. An additional touch of practicality is given by the presence of the day and date indications, making this timepiece the ideal everyday companion for the refined Haute Horologerie connoisseur.
