    That is a big reveal. I assume you'll wear it on a chain, Flav-o-Flav style. :) Congratulations.

    Congratulations Mark, that's a Great new timepiece to add to your collection! I would say 'Enjoy and wear it in good health' but that will probably hurt your back in the long run so let's stick to 'Enjoy it in good health' :-)

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Thanks for the patience folks...as promised I managed to get out into natural light and given that numerous attempts at getting a wrist shot simply failed outright, I needed to opt for the only other option.

    Ladies and Gents, I give you the SUPERNAD SHOT

    1) I did give advance warning it was going to be the BIGGEST watch I've revealed - trust you are not disappointed.
    2) I now await diligently for Andrew to post a photo of his similar timepiece, for comparison purposes.
    3) Request others lucky enough to own this scarce timepiece, to post photos of theirs.
    4) Last but not least I wish to pay dues to Mr. Nad Zakem founder and IP Rights owner of "The Nad Shot"

    Nice one. I wonder... does it work with the air-bag? ;-)

    I was looking for an Ingenieur clock for the longest time... but realizing it costed almost as much as a genuine Ingenieur, I decided I probably should use the money to get another IWC instead... at least I would hear fewer complaints from my wife with a watch than a clock. :-)

    If the trend for increasingly big watches continues, you are already ahead of the curve and ready to wear it on the wrist. :-)

    Indeed a huge "watch" ;-)

    Enjoy!

    When I first saw this clock at my AD's wall in SH, a Mk XVI in my case, I had to get it immediatly.

    As it was a dealers clock freshly hung up this was not so easy. But then he phoned to Baumgartenstr. 15 if he could get another one for his wall. He could.

    Lucky me I got "my" wall clock 5 minutes later.

    Since many years it shows accurate time and even glows in the dark.

    I use the opportunity to give a warning as many falsified dealer clocks are arround. A simple way to detect 95% of them is the movement signed "Jürgen Bölsche Geneva Swiss made" of course this man doesn't exist and the movement comes from mainland China.

    Regards

    Robert

    Great story Robert - but it does mean you are now sincerely requested to post a photo of it "a wall shot" so to speak!

    Well done Mark - we had a lot of fun with this BIG reveal.
    My Mark XV is in my office so I will not be in the office today so I will take an updated snap then.

    A quick "wall shot" ;-)

    I omited to say that I changed the original quarz movement against a radio guided one.

    Mark my friend, the wall clock is indeed rare and trust you to get hold of that. It's really something every IWC fan should have in their home/office. When I was yours, it reminded me of this one I saw in Auckland when I was down for the Volvo Ocean Race. It's a 'Portuguese' one...lol

    The chase is on!

    So where in the world is Wally, so to speak - now that the Volvo Ocean race is finished?

    Lavishing forgotten somewhere in a store room? Waiting to be restored to moment of Glory pedestal and all, in some collectors office or man den?
