The case ring, bezel and case back ring are all made of black zirconium oxide ceramic. Even add-on parts like the crown and the crown protection are engineered from this extremely hard and scratch-resistant material. A thin inner titanium ring accommodates the functional screws from the bezel and the case back ring, holds the movement and ensures a high water resistance of 10 bar. This innovative approach enables a ceramic translation that stays perfectly faithful to the original stainless steel Ingenieur design. Connecting to the case via its middle links, the integrated bracelet offers perfect ergonomics. As ceramic is a particularly light material, it is highly comfortable to wear. The black dial features the emblematic “Grid” structure, consisting of small lines and squares. To ensure perfect legibility in all lighting conditions, the black hands and metal markers are filled with Super-LumiNova®. For the Ingenieur Automatic 42, IWC has pushed the boundaries in ceramic finishing with a combination of satin-finishing, sandblasting and polishing. As ceramic ranks among the hardest materials on Earth, this finishing is a complex and time-consuming process that can only be executed using diamond-tipped tools. The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured 82110 calibre. Its Pellaton winding system efficiently converts movements of the oscillating mass in both directions into energy for the mainspring, building up a power reserve of 60 hours. Components that are subject to high stress are made of virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic.

White ceramic is manufactured in a complex process by mixing zirconium oxide with other metallic oxides in a precisely defined mixing ratio. These powders are shaped into a preform called “green body”, which is machined closer to the final geometry. Afterward, the case is subjected to a heat treatment in an oven.

As dozens of miniscule parts have to work together in a confined space, it is particularly vulnerable to shocks and damage. With the Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton, IWC’s engineering division XPL pushes the boundaries by combining its patented SPRIN-g PROTECT® shock absorber system with a tourbillon movement for the first time. First introduced in 2021, the SPRIN-G PROTECT® system uses a cantilever spring to cushion the movement and suspend it inside the case. In the event of an impact to the case, the movement is protected by the compressing spring system, reducing impact forces significantly. To adapt the shock absorber system to the IWC-manufactured 82915 caliber with a flying minute tourbillon, the shape of the spring had to be redesigned. Each of the eight arms was recalculated using advanced simulation tools and adapted to the dimensions and weight of the tourbillon movement. The re-engineered shock absorber underwent comprehensive testing using advances measurement methods. During these tests, protected tourbillon movements have survived the extreme forces from accelerations in excess of 10,000 g. The key to this extraordinary performance lies in the spring’s perfect form and material execution in bulk metallic glass (BMG). The spring is designed to evenly spread shock forces across its length and width. A highly complex manufacturing process gives BMG a disordered atomic-scale structure. This amorphous microstructure makes the material significantly more elastic than conventional metals – a key requirement for a shock absorber spring. Reducing the mass to be protected is critical for the shock absorber system’s performance. For this reason, the plates, bridges and rotor of the IWC-manufactured 82915 calibre are skeletonized. The dial is reduced to a simple black ring with the characteristic triangle at 12 o’clock and minute scale. Even the triangular hands, coated with Super-LumiNova®, are skeletonized. The flying minute tourbillon, consisting of 56 parts and weighing only 0.663 grams, is completely visible at 6 o’clock. This skeletonization approach allowed IWC’s engineers to reduce the weight of the movement as much as possible, maximizing the performance of the shock absorber system. The automatic movement features a Pellaton winding system reinforced with components made of virtually wear-free ceramic, which efficiently builds up a power reserve of 80 hours in the mainspring. The case and the crown of this watch are manufactured from Ceratanium®, an IWC-developed material that combines the lightness and structural integrity of titanium with a hardness and scratch-resistance similar to ceramic.

This IWC-developed material combines the lightness and structural integrity of titanium with a hardness and scratch-resistance similar to ceramic. The case and bracelet components are machined from bars and then fired at high temperatures in a kiln. During this heat process, they obtain ceramic properties and also their matte black finish. The bezel is made of polished black ceramic and features a tachymeter scale. In combination with the chronograph, it lets the wearer determine the average speed over a reference distance of one kilometer. The black dial with a hammered effect is manufactured in a complex process. The subidals at 3 and 9 o’clock with openings for the date and month discs feature a circular technical structure, while the black indices and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova® to ensure perfect legibility. The perpetual calendar displays the date and the month with the help of large golden discs at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock. This particular display type takes inspiration from IWC’s emblematic Pallweber pocket watches from the 1880s, which showed the hours and minutes in a digital format using single digits instead of using hands. The digital date and month displays require an additional and complex mechanism. Starting from the calendar module’s date wheel, a separate gear train advances the date display every night. A second gear train diverts a small amount of energy and stores it in a spring. This energy is then used at the end of the month to advance the month discs. When the month changes from “12” to “01” at the end of the year, the disc for the leap year display is also moved forward by one position. The perpetual calendar recognizes the different lengths of the months and adds a leap day every four years at the end of February. Despite the complexity with five discs, the calendar can be advanced easily via the crown. Powering this watch is the IWC-manufactured 89802 calibre with 474 individual components. The movement also drives a chronograph function, which displays the stopped hours and minutes combined in a totalizer at 12 o’clock. A highly efficient double-pawl winding system builds up a power reserve of 68 hours in the mainspring.

The flying minute tourbillon at 12 o’clock consists of 82 parts and weighs only 0.635 grams. This sophisticated mechanism places the pallet lever and the escapement in a small cage that rotates around its own axis once every minute. The continuous rotation contributes to offsetting the effects of gravity on the watch’s oscillating system, thereby significantly increasing its accuracy. Originally developed by Kurt Klaus during the 1980s, the perpetual calendar displays the calendar information on three subidals. Thanks to a reduction gear with two intermediate wheels, its moon phase display will only deviate by one day after 577.5 years. The calendar automatically recognizes the different months lengths and will add a leap day every four years at the end of February. This version also features a four-digit year display. As all its displays are synchronized, the perpetual calendar can be advanced simply by turning the crown. Both complications are powered by the IWC-manufactured 51950 calibre, a highly complex movement consisting of 474 parts. Crafted from solid gold, the rotor of the automatic winding system takes the shape of the Little Prince standing on his asteroid. Just like in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s famous novel, asteroid B612 is covered with wild-growing baobab plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IWC Schaffhausen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46349597704436,"sku":"WGIWC11346","price":115000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0416\/5874\/4986\/files\/iwc-schaffhausen-big-pilots-watch-perpetual-calendar-tourbillon-le-petit-prince-iw504901-118016.png?v=1743695990"}],"url":"https:\/\/chpremier.com\/collections\/iwc-schaffhausen-watches-and-wonders-2025.oembed","provider":"CH Premier Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
