Around 3,700 craft have been launched since 1920 by Boesch, the boatyard located on Lake Zurich. All made of wood. The reddishbrown, highly polished mahogany is the mark of their exclusive craftsmanship. A special edition of the Aquatimer Chronograph shows reverence to the boat builders. The watch to match the boat? That would certainly be appropriate. Although you cannot take your boat with you everywhere, you can most certainly take the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Boesch.
The watches from Schaffhausen share not only their high-quality craftsmanship with the exclusive motorboats from Kilchberg on Lake Zurich, but also an exclusive special position – they are built with passion. Similarily, IWC watches like the Aquatimer Chronograph, are also water sports enthusiasts through-andthrough. The colour scheme of the special edition “Boesch” is obvious: mahogany. As such, it emulates the air exuded by the genuine article, the sleek motorboats, which are now being built by Boesch in its fourth generation.
No more than three dozen leave the exclusive yard each year after at least 2,000 man-hours. Their hulls and structural parts are made only from mahogany, the traditional boatbuilding timber, with its unsurpassed properties. The Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Boesch adopts this feature on its dial. And reddish brown is extremely becoming. Even on the back with a mahogany inlay and a stylized marine screw propeller.
This IWC is in an overall good condition and reflects minimal signs of wear. The case is rated 9/10 and the strap 7.5/10.
It is supplied in an IWC Travel Case and it is a limited edition of 300 pieces.
