IWC brings Tribute to Pallweber to SIHH 2018
Not So New
They previewed this watch online about a month ago. The watch world went nuts. Not over the watch but the printing quality and the finish of the enamel dial. Yes, I noticed it, too, but quickly moved on as it was more a “proof of what’s coming” concept.
The Tribute to Pallweber
A tribute to F.A. Jones – the American watchmaker who founded IWC – the windows of the digital display are labelled as “Hours” and “Minutes”
One watch, three finishes. REF 5050
The enamal dials a simply put- beautiful. The take multiple trips through the furnace and there is a high failure rate. The ones that survive look fantastic and are quite durable.
- 25 watches will be made in platinum
- 250 in red gold
- 500 in stainless steel

Water resistant to 3 bars. (30 feet) Oh yes, who cares. No one will be swimming with this watch . Maybe washing dishes. The red gold is ~$36K.
Would I wear this watch?
Yes. definitely. I love the digital read out. The enamel dial is amazing. And look at that movement finishing on the exposed underside.
