Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, 14 | 15
if we are to be absolutely precise, demand slightly more
of a watch than absolute precision. Appreciation 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 imagination. 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 fas-
cination with new inventions of a technical, material 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.
