Yesterday’s Monaco Grand Prix may have been one to forget for Mercedes-AMG, but the company at least had something to celebrate last week – a new collaboration with esteemed Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen. The special IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “AMG” is inspired by the world of Affalterbach and adds some motorsport flavour to the aviation-themed timepiece.
The latest product of a partnership that stretches back to 2004, the new watch debuts a number of firsts for the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph. For a start, the 43 mm case is made from titanium, the Grade 5 finish of which is reminiscent of AMG’s signature Selenite Grey Magno paint. Further setting it apart is the exposed carbon fibre dial, contrasting with the silver sub-dials that are said to be reminiscent of racing instruments.
