IWC is a trailblazer in the realm of lightweight, scratch-resistant ceramic watches, many of which are featured in this IWC Coloured Ceramic watch collection here at Jura Watches. Harder than steel but impossible to scratch, the prestigious manufacturer, renowned for its Pilot’s Watch collection and its Portugieser and Portofino deigns, has been specialising in this special material for over thirty years. Beyond the scratch-proof properties of ceramic, the material is hypoallergenic, beautifully tangible and pleasingly cathartic to the touch. Beginning as polycrystaline powders, combined with auxiliary materials, this homogeneous mass is sintered at extremely high temperatures and shaped. When the materials are volatilized, what remains is a stable ceramic body. Examples within this IWC Coloured Ceramics collection, are those such as the Chronograph TOP GUN Editions belonging to the Pilot’s Watch series. These models are inspired by the Californian Lake Tahoe, the flight suits of naval aviators, and the dusty, dry landscape of the desert land surrounding the US Navy’s Top Gun flight school.
IWCs skills in crafting with ceramic do not stop at cases. The manufacturer began crafting components used for the beating hearts of their watches from ceramic in 2012. The Calibre 5000 family, for example, features an oscillating pinion lever mounted on ceramic bearings, as well as pawls for the Pellaton winding system forged from the same material.
These masterpieces of engineering buy IWC keep the tangible fascination of ceramic watches alive with many creations that combine unique materials with intriguing concepts – each one a complete pleasure to own.
