Why This Watch Matters
The tear-drop lugs and caliber 89 movement of this dress watch prove that not all IWCs are created equally.
The Full Story
Here, IWC proves that it can make more than just the stainless-steel tool watches that we associate most with the manufacturer.

This watch isn't just about looks; the celebrated caliber 89, a foundation for manual winding movements displaying center seconds, powers the watch. This is a stunning vintage dress watch that would look good on any wrist.
