Aesthetically bold. Mechanically complex. This vibrant aesthetic has been personified in our third collaboration with the Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton (Ref. IW394008). Combining exceptional watchmaking technology with a striking design, this timepiece has a refined 43.5 mm platinum case and vibrant teal dial embellished with 12 diamonds and features a panther's eye – the logo of the seven-time F1™ world champion. The IWC-manufactured 89900 calibre drives a flying hacking minute tourbillon, retrograde date display and a flyback chronograph. The flow of energy in the movement is improved thanks to the so-called Diamond Shell® technology on the pallet lever and escape wheel, contributing to a power reserve of 68 hours. This timepiece is limited to 44 pieces, reflecting the number Hamilton has raced with since the beginning of his career. #IWCportugieser I #TheReference | #LewisHamilton 🔗Link in Bio

An unrivalled combination of lightness and strength: An engineering journey that lasted almost a decade. The Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63 (Ref. IW506201) is the first IWC timepiece to feature a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) case, engineered in close collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Unlike conventional carbon fibre-reinforced polymers, the fibres of this composite material are embedded in a matrix of ceramic rather than polymer. Crafting a watch case from ceramic matrix composite represents an unprecedented achievement, resulting in a complex and longer production process to create this exceptional timepiece. 🔗Link in Bio #IWCxAMG | #IWCPilot | #IWCRacing | #GClass | #MercedesAMG | #GrandEdition

Inspired by the G-Class. The Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63 (Ref. IW501201) boasts a case and crown made of 18-carat Armor Gold®, a black dial and a black rubber strap with microfibre inlay. The black and gold color code is inspired by the exterior paintwork and interior finishing of the recently launched Mercedes-AMG G 63 “Grand Edition”. Armor Gold® is an innovative alloy that elevates the hardness values of gold to a whole new level and makes this comparatively soft, precious metal much more resistant to external influences. 🔗Link in Bio #IWCxAMG | #IWCPilot | #IWCRacing | #GClass | #MercedesAMG | #GrandEdition
