The IWC 5251 was a dream watch of mine when I was early in my watch collecting “career”…it was a grail watch, as even then, it was quite rare to find a piece readily available.
Built on a pocket watch movement, it is a magnificent watch…large, flat case, with a beautiful movement. This particular example is owned by a good friend, and is one of the few which was delivered with a closed case back…suffice to know a beautiful movement beats within.
Elegant, simple and yet beautifully executed. Very nice. They don’t make watches like these anymore.
Shown here with the IWC Portugeiser Jubilee…I will feature the Portugese next week, but in the meantime, enjoy the brothers.
