Reasons to Bid

The IWC Tribute to Pallweber Ref. IW505003 pays homage to one of the most inventive chapters in the brand’s history: the 1884 Pallweber pocket watches, pioneering timepieces that displayed hours and minutes through jumping digital numerals rather than hands. Released in 2018 as part of IWC’s 150th anniversary celebration, this limited-edition model translates that groundbreaking digital display into a refined and contemporary wristwatch. Measuring in at 45 mm the stainless steel case maintains an elegant purity that echoes pocket-watch aesthetics, with touches of modern features. This watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured Caliber 94200, a hand-wound movement engineered specifically for this mechanism. Uniquely constructed, it uses a separate barrels and gear trains for the jumping hours and minutes mechanisms, ensuring both accuracy and power-stability.
