    Many of you know the Jubilee Portugieser is among my favorite IWC watches of all time. I would love to see three more Jubilee Ports made:
    -one with the 5N red gold case
    -one with a white gold case/ardois dial (The Sheridanieser)
    -one with a ceramic case

    What among your favorite IWC watches would you fantasize about?

    Well I

    would have to agree with you on your 3 choices Nelson, furthermore a new Deep One would be a great addition.

    Your second choice, the

    Sheridaneiser, is enough for me to dream about.

    Every time anyone mentions the word ardoise, I get closer to the WG ardoise 5001!

    Good idea and another Fantasy

    I am a great fan of the KOMPASS watches. Why not a new KOMPASS edition ?

    That is History.....

    not Fantasy Heiko.
    From the technical point ofview those were amazing tools.
    The fully amagnetic watch like the kompass watch and the Ingenieur 500000/A are still milestones in the history of IWC.

    Using this technology it would be possible to have crystal backs and amagnetic features. Unfortunately it remains history as the technologies are no longer available.

    Interesting GST Design though;-))

    greetings

    Where there is a will there is a way

    I'm not sure this is an English saying, it is a translation of a Dutch saying.

    What do you mean when you state that the technologies are no longer available? A new titanium Compass Watch would be great, it could be part of the Ingenieur or Aquatimer family.

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing Portuguese Perpetual Calendar

    yes, it is an English language saying too

    ...few things in life are proprietary.

    Hi Nelson, good question and...

    ....I really like your first two fantasies!

    I'd furthermore opt for:
    * vintage style Jumbo Ingenieur
    * Portuguese Jubilee steel with the platinum dial (Rob's edition!)
    * ANY Portuguese Perpetual with blued hands (so far only the PIsa limited.....)

    Regards,

    Bob

    For me the Jubilee should remain unique...

    To me it is a masterpiece as well. The combination of movement, dial, and script is unique. So I do not have additional wishes for the Jubilee. However, I wish that IWC produces some watches with six bridge movements. That is my dream and fantasy.
    Nice question Nelson!
