I am hoping the next stop is in Hong Kong for the novelties to be on show. I think for me, the midnight blue dialed perpetual calendar is an absolute winner. I was always looking for the portuguese perpetual calendar to be my first foray into the perpetua...

Perhaps after SE Asia, the pieces should be ...

traveling up to North Asia. IK2000, let your IWC Boutique in HK knows you are keen. Oh! The Midnight Blue is indeed very nice, changes with lighting and viewing angle. Feels like darker than the Colour of Hope - the Laureus Blue. Kong

Kong, i like tht Da Vinci model.

Any particular reason why the second time zone be suggested to be used as second time zone? Suggestion by IWC or "ge poh chi" guess? Regards Ling

Quite common ...

 
 By: Kong : March 9th, 2010-09:48
to suggest to use the 12-hour chronograph as second-zone, putting to good use. It was also mentioned in the brochure of ChronoOne too. Kong

The simpler, cleaner Portuguese is really interesting.

Hi Kong, First of all thanks for a great report. So what about this as Nico states simple Port version? I like this one a lot, but is it limited? Can't find it on the IWC website or anywhere else. Please give me some info on that one. Auto or hand wound. ...

Think you are asking the same model as ...
