IWC Calibre 52, Reframed for the Wrist
This antique pocket watch movement by IWC Schaffhausen powers a pocket watch conversion in a new case for wristwear. Dating to circa 1907, the hand-wound IWC calibre 52 belongs to the brand’s historic pocket-watch movement line, giving the piece a direct connection to early twentieth-century horology. Its refurbished dial is arranged with a subsidiary seconds register at 9 o’clock, while the 48 mm stainless-steel case offers a clear, contemporary setting for the movement. For today’s collector, it brings historic IWC mechanics into a purposeful wristwatch format.
