The well-renowned jeweler has had a long history of offering watches made by other manufactures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe presence of Cartier’s signature on the silver sunburst dial, as well as the Cartier stock number on the lugs, attests to the watch’s provenance. At its heart beats the Calibre 8541, one of IWC’s best self-winding movements. Fitted to a Must De Cartier signed black leather strap, this is without question a fantastic subtle flex for the black tie crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eDon't miss it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWhile IWC is known best among watch connoisseurs for its military watches, or aviation-inspired chronographs, the manufacture’s oeuvre is by no means restricted to those areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFrom the 1930s to 1950s, IWC released a spate of simple yet elegant dress watches. Driven by a spirit of functionality over form, they rank as some of the most interesting—and elegant—watches of the pre- and post-war period. While many of these watches are powered by IWC’s superlative manually-wound movements, like the Calibre 83 and 89, the manufacture also fitted them with automatic movements designed by the great Albert Pellaton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eCombining elegant looks with equally imposing interiors, these dress watches are a testament to IWC’s versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39293450420311,"sku":"40970005","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS04020_40970005_IWC_DOUBLESIGNEDCARTIERAUTOMATIC_803A-6.jpg?v=1618943936","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/iwc-gents-dress-watch-retailed-by-cartier-as04020","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
