DIRECTLY FROM IWC WEBSITE: "IWC owes a great deal to Kurt Klaus. After all, he spent over 50 years with the company as a highly successful designer and inventor. During this period, his designs included an easy-to-use perpetual calendar that could be set using the crown together with a moon phase display that required no correction buttons. The limited Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Edition Kurt Klaus pays a fitting tribute to an outstanding watchmaker... If for some reason the watch has not been worn for some time, all the displays – i. e. the date, day, month, four-digit year and perpetual moon phase – can be advanced synchronously, a day at a time, using the crown. The tiny signature can be found, as always, in the bottom right-hand corner of the dial, while the back features an engraved portrait of Kurt Klaus."
