Not sure he was showing it to us as we’d been chatting a fair bit about iwc the last couple of days, the lad whose it is bought it in the 90’s and was explaining the story of the company and now they use a different movement but that this one had an iwc movement.

IWC have used ETA/Valjoux movements for a long time. They only just replaced the ETA in their Mark XX last year, and it’s still an outsourced movement, just a different supplier that they’re calling in-house.
Not that it really matters but I’m 99% sure that Sandstrom has a 2824-2 in it. It’s not a bad movement at all, it just doesn’t really make sense to call it an IWC movement.

Is that not just an ETA 2824-2? Not that there’s anything wrong with a 2824.
