IWC Mark XVI

[Seadweller4000]

Sounds great! Jay introdces quite some cool watches lately!

As for the movement, what is likely to appear in this model?

I think it might be the asian ST-18, copy of the famous 2892 ETA...

[FxrAndy]

Would be more than happy with the ST 18,

[Seadweller4000]

Hope Taka will chime in - he is expert on asian mvmts.

[baltic]

Erm, haven't done this for a while, so here goes...

HOOF!

[yellomen]

Ohhh... this is starting to go in the right direction... now wait and see what they come up with. I hope they will check my post on the 3th page with some basic info!!

[puttputt]

Great news that this might actually get made. Yowzaaaaaaaa!

[erwinner]

Sounds great.... Personally I've been begging at silix a couple of times as well, so apparently it pays off to make a lot of noize ;-)

[rastapopolos]

Sweet, sweet, schweeeeet, bump, bump, bump

[yellomen]

Another bump

[Tjabo]

This is the first watch in a while I've been pretty interested in. . . I think I might be able to count myself on the list, I'm just not sure about the size. I kind of like a substantially sized watch, even though my wrist isn't huge. It's just a preference thing I guess.

By the way, I also like this:

I don't know anything about IWCs though, so I don't even know what to call it! Hah hah. . .

[dachshund]

Bump

[erwinner]

any newz on the mark XVI?

[FxrAndy]

I wish!

Any one know any thing?

[yellomen]

I don't have contact with any of the dealers lately, so no info regarding possible plans to copy the Mark XVI.

So another BUMP

[erwinner]

today i've sent my earlier request of 2007 to Angel & Jay again.... as soon as i've got any newz, you'll be the first to know!

[FxrAndy]

Any new news would be good about this, how can they not make it ? it is sooooo simple

[erwinner]

too bad.... this is the answer I received from Angel & Jay

Not much, still waiting. :-(

I have a feeling this ain't gonna be made. Like I've said 100+ times, anything so simple in design is too utterly complicated to rep. The factories wouldn't dare attempt such a difficult project. Besides, at this point, China is wholly enthralled with a Nouveaux-Riches mentality, so repping idiotic watches such as Grahams and DeWitts fit the bill better than the lowly zen-like simple MK XVI.

[FxrAndy]

bugger

[Pugwash]

Was this ever a realistic proposal?

Remember the polls to get a watch made? Nothing came of that.

[FxrAndy]

I actualy think that the polls were usefull in the long run, I am sure a couple of them were made in the end, was the slevin not the poll winner?

[yellomen]

And BUMP again....

[Pugwash]

I actualy think that the polls were usefull in the long run, I am sure a couple of them were made in the end, was the slevin not the poll winner?

Sure, but not by the manufacturer that put up the compo.

[FxrAndy]

True, mate but i think there were looked at by manufacturers

[dovo1695]

The April 2008 issue of "Watch Time" magazine has a full page write up on the Mark XVI with some gorgeous pictures (lume shot included!). I would buy one of these watches in a second if they decide to rep it.
