IWC engineered completely new ceramic colours based on these shades, resulting in timepieces boasting a striking muted monochrome design.įrom Oct 22 to 30, the IWC Top Gun Exhibition will take over the entire third level of Design Orchard.
Expressed through Pantone colour codes, the ceramic timepieces evoke the hues of the uniforms, and iconic landscapes seen by pilots of the US Navy Top Gun School during training, such as the Mojave Desert, Lake Tahoe, and leafy woodlands.
Launched at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2022 earlier in March was IWC’s new Top Gun collection in its iconic Pilot’s Watches family. Raw materials of polycrystalline powders – mostly minerals such as silicates, aluminium oxide or silicon carbide – are mixed with several additives into a homogeneous mass, shaped and then treated in a furnace process at high temperatures. Technical ceramics are characterised by the purity of their raw materials and highly complex manufacturing processes. These high-performance timepieces are engineered for daily use in the tight confines of a fighter jet cockpit and on long deployments on aircraft carriers.Ĭeramic is the perfect material choice since a high resistance to scratches and corrosion are essential requirements here. In recent years, the high-tech material of ceramic has been incorporated into the range of Pilot’s Watches, mainly for Top Gun models. Then, in 1986, the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, housed in an innovative case made of black zirconium oxide ceramic, was introduced. T he Swiss manufacture unveiled t he very first titanium wristwatch in 1980. However, IWC fans will also be familiar with the 154-year-old brand’s expertise of materials that has remained unique until today.
