Haute Complication: IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph

A stroke of genius: sometimes there is not a better way to describe a certain creation, and one of the best examples of this in the world of watches is the IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph It is the brainchild of watchmaking legend Kurt Klaus, who designed a very innovative perpetual calendar module to fit on top of the ETA/Valjoux caliber 7750 automatic chronograph His design gave new meaning to the term ingenuity as his perpetual calendar not only included the year in full as well as a moon phase that only needed to be adjusted one day every 122 years, but it can also be set just by using the crown.

With the current version of the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph IWC recognizes not only the heritage of the watch but also further refined its proposition The Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is also no longer powered by an ETA/Valjoux 7750-based movement but features manufacture caliber 89630 The movement itself has a traditional finish with a technical edge, which is highly suitable for the type of watch that the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is.

Priced at $29.900,- it offers an incredible bang for its buck, as you not only get a perpetual calendar with a flyback chronograph but also one powered by a manufacture movement from a very esteemed brand. . Source
