This IWC pocket watch conversion into a wristwatch is a captivating piece merging early 20th-century craftsmanship with modern modification techniques. The movement, dial, and hands are original antique pocket watch parts, while the case elements are newer conversion parts made for wristwear. The caliber 52 movement, originally designed for pocket watches, is known for its robustness and precision, making it a favored choice for conversions. The professionally restored dial maintains the classic aesthetic while ensuring legibility and visual appeal. The exhibition case back allows a detailed view of the well-finished movement, adding to its collector's appeal. Conversion watches like this enable appreciation of historic movements in a wearable format, broadening their reach to modern audiences. The stainless steel case adds durability and a contemporary touch not commonly found in original pocket watch cases. Manual winding calibers with such history are increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts for their timeless mechanical artistry. The production, dated circa 1914, has been authoritatively verified from internal movement serial tables.

For your attention, please be aware you are bidding on a "marriage watch". This is composed of a pocket watch movement and a new custom-made case converted into a wristwatch. Please consider this before bidding so as to avoid any misunderstanding.

In addition, please note that all the main components of the watch – the movement, dial and hands – are original and come from an authentic pocket watch. Due to the conversion so that the watch can be worn on the wrist, only the case elements are new, carefully made and fitted to match the original pocket watch parts.

The result is a beautiful wristwatch with an antique movement, which makes it a very special piece – all the more so because you can admire the work of the movement through the transparent display back.

Thank you.
