Self-indulgent! Summer is all about open case backs

  See-through craftsmanship not only appears in clothing, but this fashionable design is also widely used by watchmakers in watches to showcase the exquisite beauty of the movement. Master watchmakers use their most proficient skills to minimise obstacles to viewing the underlying movement, allowing every component and rhythm of the movement to display the ultimate aesthetic appeal. Of course, not every attractive movement can withstand the test of an “ open case back ”, but a movement with well-executed finishing and delicate craftsmanship will similarly produce a stunning effect. This summer, why not choose a see-through design, as a story-filled open case back watch is undoubtedly the top choice for demonstrating elegant taste.

　　IWC Portuguese collection IW500109

　　Between 1868 and 1874, a batch of timepieces named after the company founder, Florentine Ariosto Jones, was manufactured. The extra-long regulator “ Jones arrow ” is the most prominent feature of its movement, and approximately 1440 Jones movements were produced. In 2005, IWC launched the Jones limited edition watch to commemorate the American-born Jones, though it was limited to quite a number, specifically 4650 pieces. This IWC watch adopts a custom-made Cal.51011 movement, offering stable performance and precise timekeeping, alongside meticulous movement finishing. Through the open case back design, the operation of the movement can be clearly observed, offering a distinctive charm.
