more about IWC

In Response To: Re: what is an exceptional movement ()

IWC uses eta 2892-a2 and 7750 in their aquatimer, spitfire, davinci and portofino watches because they are very cheap to buy and easy to modify.IWC is one of the very few firms who modifies the 7750 and the eta 2892-a2 the best but as I said before they are turning themselves into inhouse movements with the following high grade calibres 51010,51610(both based on the calibre 5000 found in the big pilot watch),50900(tourbillon mystere),95290 (minute repeater), calibre 98290 specific to the aristo jones model and cal 80110 found in the ingenieur.
China already builds copies of eta and seiko movements.
