This hardly ever seen IWC is a wonderful example of the timeless elegance of vintage wristwatches from the 1930s. The watch, known as the "Hermet" has a tightly sealed case back and inset crown, protecting it against humidity and dust.

The jumbo sized 36,5 mm watch, known as the „Hermet“ in the collectors community is in a very crisp condition with a great preserved golden dial. The fact that it is made from 14k yellow gold is indicating that it was most likely produced for the US market back then.
