This is composed of a pocket watch movement and a NEW custom-made (or pocket watch) case converted into a wristwatch. Please consider this before bidding so as to avoid any misunderstanding.

This IWC Schaffhausen Chronometre is a fascinating wristwatch conversion, utilizing a antique IWC pocket watch movement housed within a contemporary stainless steel case. The watch's oversized 43mm diameter harks back to the design ethos of early IWC wristwatches, which often repurposed pocket watch calibers for enhanced legibility and presence. This particular example features the classic finger-bridge architecture of the IWC Caliber 73, a hallmark of early 20th-century Lepine-style movements.

The dial, marked with "Chronometre" and "International Watch Co," presents a sector-style minutes track with Arabic numerals and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock. It has been professionally restored by a dial specialist using period-correct techniques.

In addition to its historical charm, the watch offers modern appeal through its exhibition case back, providing a full view of the intricately finished vintage movement. The signed crown, displaying a fish motif, suggests an IWC-style replacement, adding to its unique character. This conversion echoes the innovative spirit found in the origin of the IWC Portuguese, another model celebrated for its bold use of pocket watch movements in wristwatch formats.
