I feel like ⅔ of the love for mechanical watches is their maintenance. You know, Benjamin Franklin principle: the more you are helped by others, the more you are loved by them. Same for watches. All the winding and caring and adjustments incur a bond unavailable to EcoDrive.
Hmm. Can you share movement shot? If the movement is good (and looks reasonably authentic), yes. I mean, rattrapante movement is never cheap, so it's unlikely you get a bad deal.
I believe some people use the name "ETA" to mean "Swiss ebauche," just as "Sea-gull" means "the movement is from somewhere in China."
This particular movement is group (Richemond) movement. Technically, it's "inhouse" for their group. In reality, calling it "inhouse" is........... too much.
My understanding is:
The movement is shared with the much cheaper Mark series.
The base movement (32110) was rumored to be based on ETA 2892. But IWC clarified that it shares nothing (including dimensions, apparently) with the ETA one.
The movement isn't produced by IWC but ValFleurier, under Richemond
It does seem to me that the movement is brand specific? However, given that it's produced by the group's producer, it might be either shared directly or having cousin calibers with other Richemond brands.
