Mark, I love the blue breguet hands and I bet it's a fitting 'present' for your birthday today. Happy birthday from all of us in the far east and the forum.

One other thought, besides my compliments and congratulations....I've seen other IWC pocket watches with guilloché dials, all Calibre 52s or 57s and all from the period of roughly 1905-1910. I suspect they used one dial supplier for those dials during that time period. I've seen guilloché being produced by hand turning a "rose engine" machine, and it's a wonderful art.
I also did an amalgam of dial signatures, and the one at the bottom right shows a glimpse of the guilloché example in my collection. I bought it, though, because of the signature.

I have on my wish list that some of the future models will utilize the script logo. It adds elegance to a dress watch, imho.

Although only out there for a limited period of time, there were some real nice beautiful dials fitted, as MF's, mine and this IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN Museum piece here show.
The museum has many beautiful watches - both vintage Pocket Watches and many great wrist watches - for those that have not been, certainly make the effort to visit. It's a great experience!

Mark, thanks for sharing this beautiful pocket watch symbolising the historical craftsmanship of IWC over the years. Your idea of leaving the dial untouched was a great!
