Mid-century IWC with Cal. 89
This IWC Schaffhausen dates from the 1940s and presents the restrained proportions and classic silver dial language of mid-century wristwatches. The stainless steel, snap-back case and period-correct acrylic crystal underline its era-appropriate construction, while the restored dial and blued hands refresh the watch’s original character. At its heart beats the hand-wound Cal. 89, a movement celebrated for dependable regulation and straightforward serviceability within IWC’s watchmaking tradition. For a contemporary collector, it offers wearable history and mechanical clarity in a compact, refined package.
