Introduction to the IWC FA Jones Collection
The well-known GS factory, recognized for its moderate-quality imitations, has introduced a new line of IWC FA Jones watches, featuring three distinct styles: golden, blue, and black. These timepieces, with their vintage flair, exude elegance and are ideal for the sophisticated gentleman. With a reference number of IW544203, these watches boast a case diameter of 43mm and a thickness of 12mm. They draw inspiration from pocket watches, and the IWC FA Jones retains the quintessential DNA of historic IWC pocket watches. Iconic elements such as the hour and minute hands, and the pumpkin-shaped crown, are reminiscent of classic pocket watch designs.
Design and Build Quality
The case of the watch features a brushed finish with a polished bezel, and the transparent crystal case back is secured with six screws around its rim. The round, ultra-thin case presents a refined appearance, and its slightly curved lugs are designed with ergonomics in mind, making it comfortable for wearers with slimmer wrists. Each case is meticulously selected by the GS factory to ensure it closely mirrors the original and offers a comfortable wearing experience.
Movement and Features
The dial features the FA Jones signature at the 12 o’clock position, with a subdial at 6 o’clock displaying the current seconds. The central hour and minute hands are designed in the classic Breguet style, adding a touch of retro charm, while the Arabic hour markers are printed in blue.
Through the crystal case back, you can admire the manual winding movement where each movement plate is perfectly crafted, showcasing attention to detail from polishing to chamfering.
Strap Options and Personalization
The leather straps are available in brown, blue, and black, depending on the model. The choices include a rose gold case with a brown leather strap, blue hour markers with a blue leather band, or black hour markers with a black leather strap. Which combination appeals to you the most?
