    It was a long term project, from idea in 2013 to realisation today.

    • First the idea, a Photoshop draft.

    • The Fibonacci case design.

    • And the 5407 with the mounted black dial.

    Hello Heiko,
    Can you elaborate a little more?
    Is this an IWC dial, where did you find it or was it specially made for you?

    Hello Adrian.

    The black dial was a coincidence find.

    A collector asked me for a part he was looking for.

    Coincidentally, this dial was mentioned as a compensation.

    Searching for such a dial does not make sense, it has to find one ?!

    Ah, a few new posts.

    Thanks for your interest in this PW and your opinions on my interest collecting only special rare watches.

    That fits and I think it will increase ?!
