A tribute to an extraordinary designer
A great deal is owed by IWC to Kurt Klaus. After all, he spent more than 50 years with the company as a highly successful designer and inventor. The limited Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Edition Kurt Klaus pays a fitting tribute to an outstanding watchmaker. It contains the original automatic calendar/chronograph movement used since 1985, except that it is now housed in the new Da Vinci tonneau-shaped case. The features and dimensions are the same as those of the new Da Vinci Chronograph, the first Da Vinci in this new generation. Apart from the familiar date, day, month, four-digit year and perpetual moon phase displays, each of the watches bears Kurt Klaus’s signature in the bottom right-hand corner of the dial and an engraving with his portrait on the back cover.
