And although the watch is an impressive record-breaker, it's a pretty safe bet to say that - in accordance with Babin's view that initial impressions come from aesthetics - the first things clients will notice are the case,dial and magnificent bracelet of the watch.

The decision to use titanium came out of lessons learned on the 2016 minute repeater, which emphasised the benefits of a super-light, super-strong material for an ultra-thin case. Next came the new face for the new movement and, for the first time,IWC Replica Watches a full titanium bracelet.

"The bracelet is the same design as the regular IWC Portofino Replica bracelet but it is incredibly different at the same time," says Buonamassa.

"The Finissimo required a bracelet to fit the proportions of the case, resulting in links that are just 2.5mm thick, 1mm slimmer than the thinnest of traditional metal bracelets. Because it is so incredibly thin, we had to change the wayit closes,iwc aquatimer replica which was a hugechallenge for our Saignelegier facility. When youchange materials, you have to change the tools and thesystemsyouuse.With the first prototype we could see thatthebuckle was thicker than the bracelet and thiswasjustnotright visuallysowehad to start over. Thesolutionwas toput the clasp inside the bracelet so that nowwhen youputiton,you see just the line of the titanium links.

"It was hugely challenging but the product had to make sense as a piece ofdesign, so we had to reinvent the buckle. Sometimes it is important to keepthe same language for the way youuse an object. So, if I make an amazing Finissimo with an incredible new automatic movement and a stunning bracelet with a totally new concept for the clasp, but the first person that sees it needs me to explain how it works then itdoes not make sense - not for our idea of design. We want people tosay, 'Wow!This is a new buckle butitlookslike a regular one'."
