When Raymond Weil designed the Calibre RW1212, their first ever in-house design (produced by Sellita), I suspect part of the mandate was to show it off, hence the open escapement prominently on display - literally showing off a movement they’re rightfully proud of.

Now, IWC is a brand I’ve always admired from afar, but haven’t had substantial personal experience with until last month.
