Also... In the video above they show the WHOLE MOVEMENT more than once.

Want to see pics? GOOGLE IWC 5000 movement and then keep looking. IWC is one of the most respected brands around, you must be new to watches to not know much about them.

Well you know what happens when you ASS U ME. All of these are in house movement watches 1) The entire 2008 Vintage "Jubilee" collection 2) Portuguese Regulateur 3) Portuguese Tourbillon Mystere 4) Portuguese Minute Repeater 5) Portuguese Pepetual Calendar 6) Portuguese Automatic 7) Da Vinci Chronograph 8) Big Ingenieur 9) Ingenieur 10) Big Pilot If you don't think they use in house movements then MOVE ON to another watch. The FACT is they do make an in house movements

@DallasfuckingTT i am pretty certain of my assumption. Normally brands are very very proud of their manufacture status, and plaster it and proof of it everywhere. All i see from IWC is dodgy wording and no real photos of their own movements. They seem to make their own modules, which is already a very good thing.

[DallasfuckingTT]

Just go to Timezone and watchuseek. That would be your best bet.

@DallasfuckingTT Could you give some links to show that the movement they make is in house, aka, built by ppl in the IWC house?

Also, could you show these criteria? (the in house testing they do instead of cosc). Ive been googling around and all i see suggests that IWC uses a base movement form ETA and adds its own winding system. Normally when a company makes its own movememts, they take every chance of showing pictures of it, but IWC only shows the winding part, which made me think that.

[DallasfuckingTT]

They do testing in house, BTW this movement in the watch above is an in house IWC movement.

@DallasfuckingTT so where do they send them?

[DallasfuckingTT]

@lolcat23 They don't set them to COSC they have a higher standard that COSC and don't send them to COSC for testing.
