The Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Edition Kurt Klaus is a fitting tribute to an outstanding IWC watchmaker. Each of the displays – i.e. date, day, month, four-digit year and perpetual moon phase – can be advanced synchronously, a day at a time and whenever needed, using the crown.
Kurt Klaus spent over 50 years with the company as a highly successful designer and inventor. During this period, his designs included an easy-to-use perpetual calendar that could be set using the crown together with a moon phase display that required no correction buttons. The limited Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Edition Kurt Klaus pays a fitting tribute to an outstanding watchmaker.
