One of the most famous of all vintage IWC pocket watches is the Pallweber, a model made by IWC from approximately 1885 to 1887. The model is named after its inventor, Josef Pallweber, a pioneer of a digital timekeeping system. Pallweber’s invention featured both digital jump-hour and jump-minute indications, and the time was displayed by large numerals on rotating discs rather than by hands. Pallweber licensed his 1883 invention to IWC, and later to other manufacturers. Reportedly, around 14,940 examples were made as the Calibre 42 (Pallweber III).
In 2018, the house of IWC is celebrating its 150th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, IWC is releasing the Jubilee Collection, which consists of 27 different limited edition models across each of its product families. The famous Swiss manufacturer is also launching a tribute to the original Pallweber digital pocket watch, only this time intended to be worn on the wrist.
The modern-day wristwatch version of the iconic Pallweber is made from 18-karat red gold and measures 45mm across and 12mm in thickness. The elegantly rounded case is fitted out with slender wire style lugs and mounted on a black alligator leather strap. Its white, lacquer-finished dial, evocative of the vintage pocket watches and their enamel dials, features a small seconds sub-dial with a blued hand and three round apertures for the digital hours and minutes display. Just like the original, the watch has the labels “Hours” and “Minutes” for their respective round windows on the dial.
Inside is the brand new in-house Calibre 94200, which beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour offering at least 60 hours of power reserve - an impressive amount of stored energy for a watch equipped with a digital jump hour display. The energy drain imposed by the jumping time indications is solved using the movement’s dual gear-train design, each supplied by a separate barrel. The main gear train is for timekeeping, while the second one drives the jumping displays for the hours and minutes.
The IWC Tribute to Pallweber Edition “150 Years” is limited to 250 pieces worldwide and priced at $36,600. The watch will be officially unveiled at the SIHH exhibition, in January 2018. Reference IW505002. For more information, please visit iwc.com.
