Tribute to Pallweber Pocket Watch Edition 150 Years vRed Gold

In Context

At 52 mm this is exceptionally large for something worn on a wrist, closer to a pocket watch given lugs. At 14.2 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 10 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 60 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

IW5051-01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a white dial with a red gold case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 2018.

IWC's caliber 94200 'Pallweber' is a hand-wound movement with jump hours and minutes.
