This is a dream that just won't seem to die, no matter how often IWC throws cold water on it. Change the center minutes to digital (like the hour) in the space occupied by the power reserve, change the B&R to IWC, and it's all there!

perhaps only a matter of time given the increasing number of jump digits in the market ? ;-)
i hope I got this correct in chronological fashion:

Shing my friend you are right, imagine the geography, (actually the politics involved), Lange made quite a comeback, of course IWC and G.Blumlein sure helped a lot. I remember Herr Klaus' stories about his travels to Glashutte to help rebuild the manufacture. But behind everything is Richemont Group. So the synergies between the manufactures become inevitable and obvious. IWC uses Piaget movements like it used JLC at the past as it also helped RL with its own.

agreed. for me, it is a matter of time before a jumping hour / minute - and hopefully date :) will be manufactured by IWC.
especially considering calire 89800 has already been developed...

Lange made it and since it belongs to Richemont too I find this very unlikely to happen, I keep the faith though.
