IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton

IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton

For IWC’s latest collaboration with Lewis Hamilton, the luxury Swiss watchmaker reimagines the Portugieser, one of its oldest and most recognizable models in an alluring teal hue. When it comes to clothing, the seven-time F1 world champion often sports bold, vibrant hues, eye-catching patterns, as well as unusual designs. As an extension of Hamilton’s look, the timepiece also borrows aesthetic cues from his expressive and adventurous dress style. Precious platinum houses the enchanting teal dial, measuring 43.5mm in diameter and providing ample room to showcase a well-proportioned and finely embellished watch face. The center of the dial is affixed with slightly recessed displays for the retrograde date and chronograph, while 12 diamonds accentuate the outer ring, with each one accompanying a different Arabic numeral. A particular spotlight is directed at the flying hacking minute tourbillon, which sits at the 6 o’clock mark, where its balance wheel can be observed via its small cage. Powering this striking special-edition timekeeper is the in-house 89900 automatic-winding caliber. Fitted with 42 jewels, and an 18-carat gold oscillating weight, the intricate movement can be clearly observed via the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback. In collaboration with seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton, IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton has […]

Mercedes-Benz and IWC Schaffhausen have partnered up to produce a pair of special watches with a style inspired by the iconic G-Class, specifically, the ultra-limited G63 Grand Edition. IWC Big Pilot’s Watch AMG 63 Based on the Swiss watchmaker’s Big Pilot timepiece, the collaboration is a match made in heaven, given the history of both products. Both IWC’s Big Pilot and the G-Class started as dependable tools – the former for navigators during the 1940s, the latter as a utilitarian workhorse utilized by various users ranging from farmers to the German army. Some folks still use the Big Pilot watch and the G-Class for their original purposes, but it is far more common nowadays to see them used as lifestyle accessories for socialites and celebrities. The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch AMG 63 Editions are inspired by the black […]
