EVW PRODUCT NR: 2130-20
"A Legend of Horology – The 132-Year-Old IWC Schaffhausen Masterpiece."
This Antique IWC Schaffhausen Conversion is a breathtaking bridge between the 19th and 21st centuries. At its heart lies the legendary Caliber 52, manufactured in 1893. This movement represents the pinnacle of IWC's early engineering, featuring a gold-plated finish and precision adjustments that made Schaffhausen famous for "Probus Scafusia"—good, solid craftsmanship from the Rhine.
The watch features its original antique porcelain/enamel dial, a material prized for its "immortality" as it never fades or patinas. Adorned with rare Roman numerals and original period-correct IWC hands, the dial offers a level of elegance that modern watches struggle to replicate. Reborn in a robust 47mm stainless steel case with an exhibition back, this timepiece allows you to wear a museum-grade engine on your wrist.
Collector Notes & Investment Potential
Conversion watches featuring high-grade IWC movements are among the most sought-after by collectors worldwide. This specific example is powered by the historic Caliber 52 with movement number 98096, verifying its 1893 production. The combination of a massive "Jumbo" presence and the flawless porcelain dial makes this an investment-grade piece that is both a mechanical wonder and a bold style statement.

Omega 43 Years Old Vintage Omega Equinoxe Reverso /Ref. 1860013 / Cal. 1655 / Vintage 1981
From start to finish the transaction was straight forward and smooth. The watch arrived well packed and in the exact condition described. I only recently became interested in "vintage" watches and EVW is a great resource for quality pieces. I already purchased a second and when I find something I like I will gladly purchase again. Thank you Lukasz.
I absolutely love the gorgeous vintage watch I bought from EVW! It’s amazing to be able to wear a watch that is 119 years old. I often wonder what life was like for the original owner in 1906. The watch was delivered very quickly by DHL and was packaged well. A great buying experience!
63 Years Old Vintage Omega Gold plated / Ref. 14395 61 SC / Cal. 285 (30T2) / Vintage 1961
I am so happy with this purchase! Communication was super easy with EVW and they negotiated on price. Upon receiving the watch, I was simply stunned. The condition of restoration is incredible. The gold case is flawless, the case back is perfect, and the dial has only 1 small imperfection (pictured in listing, expected). For a watch from 1982, this is amazing. The Caliber 1110 movement is working very smoothly. The quick-set date is great, and the power reserve is too.
EVW always has an incredible selection of amazing vintage pieces at fair prices with super fast and reliable shipping.
