IWC Marriage Watch – Original Enamel Dial & Hands, Stainless Steel Case (c. 1914)
 
A beautifully balanced union of early 20th-century craftsmanship and contemporary wearability.
This watch brings together a genuine IWC Schaffhausen pocket-watch movement, along with its original enamel dial and blued-steel hands, now professionally cased in a new polished stainless-steel wristwatch case with exhibition back.
Collectors refer to this configuration as a marriage watch — a respectful transformation that allows historic IWC engineering to be enjoyed every day.
