Swiss luxury watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has unveiled its latest timepieces – which feature the newest additions to the Ingenieur and Pilot’s collections – at Watches and Wonders 2025 in Geneva.
This year’s lineup includes the Ingenieur Automatic 35, 40, and 42, alongside the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar – a perfect fusion of cutting-edge technology and classic design.
Ingenieur Automatic 42 in Black Ceramic
For the first time, IWC combines the Gérald Genta-derived integrated bracelet design with a full ceramic case. This model features an innovative multi-part ceramic construction.
The model is also distinguished by a high level of detail in the finishing of its ceramic components with a combination of satin-finishing, sandblasting and polishing.
The IWC-manufactured 82110 calibre with a Pellaton winding system, ceramic components and a power reserve of 60 hours is visible through the tinted sapphire glass case back
Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month
Crafted from Ceratanium, this watch features a black ceramic bezel with tachymeter scale and a hammered texture dial. It showcases a perpetual calendar with digital date and month display.
The perpetual calendar displays the date and the month in digital format using large gold-coloured discs. The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured 89802 calibre with a power reserve of 68 hours. Visible through a tinted sapphire glass case back, this highly engineered mechanical movement consists of 474 individual parts and also drives a chronograph function
Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton XPL
Featuring IWC’s patented SPRIN-g PROTECT shock absorber system, this technical masterpiece is fitted with a Ceratanium case and offers a striking view of its skeletonised movement and BMG shock absorber spring.
This marks the first time that IWC has used its shock absorber system to protect a tourbillon against shocks. The cantilever spring was completely re-designed and adapted to accommodate the IWC-manufactured 82915 calibre with a flying minute tourbillon.
To reduce the mass of the movement and maximise the system’s performance, the plates, bridges and the rotor are skeletonised – also offering a better view of the complicated mechanics and the bulk metallic glass (BMG) shock absorber spring inside.
Ingenieur Automatic 40 in 18-carat 5N Gold
This luxurious model is a stunning combination of 18-carat 5N gold with a “Grid” dial and offers a 120-hour power reserve, visible through a transparent sapphire case back.
It has been fitted with a transparent sapphire-glass case back, showcasing the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre with a power reserve of 120 hours.
The movement is enhanced with circular Geneva stripes, blued screws and a gold-plated oscillating weight.
Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41
The first stainless steel model in the Ingenieur collection to feature the iconic perpetual calendar by Kurt Klaus, this timepiece offers a blue dial with a ‘Grid pattern’, powered by the IWC-manufactured 82600 calibre.
The 41-millimetre case, bezel and bracelet are elaborately finished with satin-finished and polished surfaces. On the blue dial, three subdials display the date, day of the week, month and perpetual moon phase.
Rhodium-plated hands and metal markers filled with Super-LumiNova ensure perfect legibility. The IWC-manufactured 82600 calibre with Pellaton winding system and ceramic components can be viewed through the sapphire glass case back
Ingenieur Automatic 35
With three 35-millimetre variants, including 18-carat 5N gold and stainless steel options, this model provides the same enhanced ergonomics and detailed finishing as the larger versions. This new and more compact automatic model has a case diameter of 35mm and a thickness of just 9.44mm.
The Ingenieur Automatic 35 is available in three versions. One model features an 18-carat 5N gold case and bracelet, completed with a gold-coloured dial. Two models feature a stainless steel case and bracelet. The first one has a silver-plated dial, the second one a black dial.
Additionally, a highlight of this year’s showcase are the Green-Dial IWC Schaffhausen Ingenieur Automatic and the IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Chronograph, which will make their on-screen debut in the highly anticipated F1 movie set for release in June. These timepieces embody IWC’s deep-rooted connection to motorsport, blending precision engineering with the adrenaline of Formula One.
