1950s IWC Steel Dress Watch

Why This Watch Matters This piece has all the elements of an elegant, mid-century IWC creation, plus it's in new-old-stock condition and includes its original hang tag. The Full Story If there is one watch company that has focused on the motto of “less is more,” it's IWC. This piece may be the perfect dress watch, because it is completely void of anything extra. Its aesthetics are reminiscent of Patek Philippe, another revered dress watch maker from the same period. This piece sets itself apart with its elongated – almost flared – lugs, which add substantial length and presence on the wrist. There is a certain timelessness about the dial design, with a hint of light patina, and one can enjoy the seconds hand, which quietly sweeps away. The watch is fitted with IWC’s well-respected caliber 89, which was constructed to be a workhorse movement with simplicity, reliability, and robust performance in mind.
