New Rattrapante

Just picked up my IWC Portugiesier Chronograph Rattrapante Edition "Boutique Canada."

Love the panda dial, really pops out.

Congratulations Bill
What a fantastic and special piece. 

Well Done!! I’m really happy for you  :o)

Congratulations!! that is a really cool looking watch!

Wow, love it! Always loved the old (Japan?) Pand but this is a great looking watch and really sporty too with the red seconds hand!

Regards, Bob

Congrats on the acquisition!!! Haven't seen a lot of those in the wild.

Bill, Please show a pic of the Maple Leaf and Edition Boutique Canada  xxx/150 on the back. 

Some background to this watch:

At SIHH 2016, Edouard asked me to propose some concepts for a Special Canada Edition. 
The watch design I submitted was different, But my proposal for the “150 year” was adopted.

I chose 150 for three reasons:
1. The Boutique was to be opened in 2017
2. 2017 was the 150th Anniversary of Canada’s Federation 
3. 2018 is the 150th Anniversary of IWC 

Enjoy your special IWC for a special Anniversary 

Mark,

It sounds like you have a really interesting role at IWC!!

Mark is a special friend of IWC. Check out his posts on his Geneva trip with IWC.

I'll update the pics of the watch soon, Mark.

I also like the reverse Panda Chrono. See mine below. But you’re right, the Panda really stands out.

As promised, Mark.

The reverse of the Panda Rattrapante. Great to hear you had input to its design.

Aha Mark, so you were behind this ;-)

Great watch, fantastic design (front AND back) and great theme so congrats to you too!

Regards,

Bob

Question BIW regarding the new Canadian Panda:

Is the dial a pure White or more the traditional IWC "Silvery" White ?

Andy

Also loving the Panda dial, big congrats!!!!!

Hi, Andy

Here is a pic of the IWC chrono white dials. The dial on the Canadian Panda is the usual silvery white dial seen on the other Portugesier Chronos.
