Saw a blurb or two about this over the last two weeks. The name is aptly chosen. Would love to see one on my wrist. But I am guessing the price will be out of this world. Dream on.....

A remarkable feat and it's good to see that the Schaffhausen R&D department has been working on such an exciting project. To see one would be a great privilege.
I suspect there's little chance of this watch being made available as a special Collectors' Forum edition? It might even placate our new German friends :)

Congratulations to IWC for this fantastic piece, great to see another engineering feat accomplished; this is just taking the notion of sailing to the next level. By the way I feel that I have all the reasons to acquire a piece of this; it would be in part a matter of what I can do to sponsor the 10-year reasearch done. It would take me less than a (light)year for that matter, I hope.
It's been a long road, getting from there to here. It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.

A giant step for IWC with an unbelievably beautiful IWC. It's great to see the design and engineering geniuses in Schaffhausen working together on a new Masterpiece. Unfortunately, I will have to admire it from afar I suspect.
Maybe, we can see it up close when the NYC Boutique opens.

Dreams, at least they are free. Seeing one of these Portuguese Sidérales live would indeed be a privilege and an honour. Maybe a consolation for us all: some of our watches we have to wind too.
Kind regards, Paul

A subsidised CF edition available for CHF20000? That I would be interested in! Hate to think what the price is, oh well it's nice to have a dream even if reality puts it well out of reach by miles or light years even.

This is definitely a milestone for IWC. I am looking forward to seeing it in the boutiques here. I am sure like many of you will agree, IWC has created a new horological feat in its rich history.
Great watch. And lucky me --I get to see it, and maybe even try it on, this week. But since it's several times the price of an il Destriero Scafusia (which "only" was introduced 18 years ago), I'll have to pass on buying it for the time being.
But really this is a truly magnificent horolgical accomplishment. Wait for more details tomorrow.
Best regards

Certainly a bold move to extend the price point range of IWC to perhaps one of the "widest" in industry from simple to extraordinary complications.
A great achievement to celebrate for all the team.
Would be great to see it one day.
Also great to see one of our forum friends in one of the photos in the slide show.
