Clash of the classics

Goodmorning everyone!

Last Sunday I went to a very cool event in a castle. It was an event hosted by my AD and there were a lot of awesome watches. I was at the IWC stand, and there I met a gentleman who had a very lovely Portofino chronograph in redgold. He told me has was really into classical watches and that IWC made so many watches fitting his taste.

I know it is obvious that we all love watches for different reasons, but we all do agree that watches from IWC have a timeless character and that this is a keyfeature with these watches. This made me think...what do you ladies and gents think is the most stunning classical watch from IWC? It can be a recent model or vintage. I will kick off with a couple of my pictures :)

Enjoy your day everyone! :)

Amazing pics!

However, IW500107 is the best IWC classics form me.

Cheers :)

Stunning pictures Koen, you really capture the true beauty of all these classic pieces. Here's mine.

Great pictures of beautiful, classy, and classic, watches! Here you see the watch that I consider the most classic of my collection. It is one of my most loved watches.

Kind regards,
Paul

Nice topic Koen.
I think for classical and Iconic IWCs we have to look to Portugueser, Pilot watch Mark II and Ingenieur Ref 666. Unfortunately I don't have any of the above watches but the VC Ingenieur perfectly embodies some of the features of the legendary Ref 666

Fantastic wathes gentleman! If you ask me, the Portugieser is a all time classic. One of the most iconic pieces from any brand. Nice to see a picture of the VC ones :). It's a watch that appeals so much to me for being discreet and timeless. Same story for the 7-days. It's the kind of watch you would choose if you could only have one watch. It has everything to appreciate in fine watchmaking.

Tilo, you BP is a TOTAL STUNNER! I have it on my wrist more often at boutiques and see some friends have it and of course I try it on my wrist again. It's a watch that I just can't ignore. It's a future classic if you ask me. The blue dial is so,so beautiful...

And here is mine with an autumn background:
