    There's a problem here --I came across this watch while searching some internal IWC archives, and only copied this blurry photo. There wasn't a better image in the file --only a smaller one-- that I can't fine now that I've gone back to look.

    Nor can I get dial images, nor even a copy of what the text (in German) says. So --it's a mystery watch.

    But it is a VIW --a very important watch. I will tell you that it houses a Calibre 8541 movement.

    Does anyone here want to guess what makes the watch so incredibly important ? A IWC cap or coffee mug will be awarded to the first correct guess.

    Regards and good luck,
    Michael
    P.S. Given the nature of the answer, my decision on the best "closest" guess will have to count.

    It is a gift to BRD Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.

    How about this for a wild guess. ,-))
