IWC Portuguese F. A. Jones Limited Edition - yeyu525 - 06-03-2020
Rare people would be strange with IWC which mainly designs watches for man and which always leading different style and innovational materials. In the history of Jones, stands a very crucial America-Jones, who rolled out the Portuguese Jones limited editions that win big fame in the world. Jones conducted the development of 6 movement and place them in the different series. It should be known to all that, back then, there was no such a developed technology in the watch produce, so all the components are made manually, particularly that 6 movements that were developed by Jones have been cult items among the collectors.
it is self-evident that how important that Jones means to IWC. The development of Jones movement has profound meaning and now become a movement that collectors loves. As a work that pay homage to Jones, the movement that is applied is the CAL.38290 automatic winding movement, a typical movement in the IWC's movements. But IWC made a little big changes to it and a regulator which found in 19th century pocket watches, is employed on it, but the regulator now are completely different from today's regulator. All in all, IWC Jones Limited Edition is made in modern times and it harbors tons of history and culture, particularly the application of Jones Sword movement.
Besides, many other movements designed upon this movement, because they share the same location of the wheels. Every wheel has a corresponding supporter that makes the watch more stable and easy to assemble. Although the movement once was applied to the pocket watches, with the popular of big-size watches, many movements once applying to pocket watches has found their application in the wrist watches. Especially, as a work that paying tribute to Jones, having a Jones' style of watches is the best option. aswisswatches
