Top 5 IWC Watches of 2024

Everyone loves a good list article because it is an opportunity to reinforce their own opinions through the clearly ranked opinions of others. cheap replica watches

It is a fun exercise, but compiling a good, reasonable, and even thought-provoking list is not always as easy as you think.

Choosing your favorite things from a pile of things you don’t own can be an enlightening exercise. The fact that you don’t own something is a good starting point in itself.

Sometimes, you don’t own an item not because you can’t afford it, but because you don’t think it is worth the price. If you feel this way about an item, how do you rank it? After all, the price of a watch is part of the product proposition. You can’t turn a blind eye to the reality of the situation, order an item without considering its price positioning, and expect the list to stand up to scrutiny.

  1. IWC Ingeniuer IW328903 (Teal Dial)
    I ​​quote the preface above to explain why this IWC wholesale replica watches (reference number IW328903) is ranked fifth on my list despite being my favorite IWC model. I love this watch. I love the texture and color of the dial. The execution of every element is spot on. But I hate the price. So much so that I will never buy it new at retail, despite believing it to be the best product the brand has produced in decades (and possibly ever).

Don’t mistake this for sour grapes. I don’t think £10,500 is a crazy price for any watch. I’ve owned watches worth far more. It’s not that I couldn’t have bought one if I wanted to. It’s that I think the gap between where this watch “should” be in the industry pricing hierarchy and where it is now is so huge that I refuse to reward the decision makers who put it there. If this watch had been priced at 7K (a not insignificant but fair price for a closed case, one-piece steel sports watch from a well-known brand), it would have probably crushed competitors in the 5-10k range.

Instead, it arrived just as the COVID bubble burst, looking like it showed up three days late to a surprise birthday party and was completely crushed. It’s an elegant watch that entered the world in a relatively low-key manner. Let’s hope IWC decides to keep the price the same and the rest of the industry catches up, because I don’t want it to be discontinued too soon. It’s just too good.

  1. IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic 41 Black Aces
    When you think of IWC, the first fake men watches style that comes to mind is most likely the classic pilot’s watch. There are a lot of great, timeless designs in this category, from the basics to high-end complications, but the one that stands out to me is the recently released Black Aces Squadron Special Edition, which comes with a full luminous dial and a cool playing card pattern at 6 o’clock. It brings a ton of features you don’t often see in this popular category of timepieces.
  2. IWC Portugieser Chronograph IW371624
    The new “sand color” dial introduced in this year’s Portugieser collection is gorgeous in natural light.
  3. IWC Aquatimer Automatic IW328801
    To me, the entire Aquatimer line is seriously underrated. The case design may be a little “mid-2000s”, but I believe more and more brands are returning to these bold silhouettes and having some fun with them, and they are now seen as slightly zany but good-natured retro style rather than the serious, swaggering look they once were.

The basic black dial with green lume makes it very easy to wear.

  1. Perpetual Calendar IW505701
    This is not only a beautiful watch, but also a stunning and extremely meaningless achievement (my latter comment is partly a joke).

No one needs a perpetual calendar, and that’s the point. After all, no one needs a luxury watch. The IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar actually represents everything about watchmaking. It is an inspiration to inspire passion for our great craft, just like the Ulysse Nardin Freak or MB&F Legacy series.

As this year’s “Watches & Wonders” came to a close, this watch was the one I heard mentioned most in the “Best Watches” discussion, and it deserved it. This cheap watches for sale will still be a hot topic in ten years, so if you have the conditions and opportunities to buy one, go for it (you’ll never forget what day it is).
