IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Lewis Hamilton, Limited Edition of 100 pieces.

Nov 29, 2019,07:26 AM
 

I have just received this news in my mails. IWC is launching a Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar, with Lewis Hamilton's collaboration, for the design. 


Here you have a 46, 5 mm big, 15, 9 mm black ceramic case, with a burgundy dial, gold plated hands, and rose gold case back ring ( see through case back ) rotor and crown. 

The movement is well know, a 7 Days " Pellaton " automatic calibre. 

For sure it will not be everybody's taste. 




I quite like the idea of the textile strap, matching with the dial. 

What do you think? 

Best,

Nicolas

Definitely not my taste, but no doubt "original"...and there's something that reminds me of Konstantin Chaykin there, though I like KC a lot! :-) Cheers. [nt]

IWC CEO already posted wrist shots...

Big, very big... Thanks for the wrist shot! [nt]

That pushes a lot of buttons.

 
 By: M4 : November 29th, 2019-07:57
Dislike buttons, to be clear. M4

Thanks for sharing your opinion, M4. [nt]

Thanks, Vinnie. [nt]

I actually like the dial a lot. [nt]

It cannot be a consensual watch, indeed. Good to read that some of us express a different voice. Thanks, my friend. [nt]

Would be a great deco on a christmas tree when put on a green strap [nt]

 
 By: Figij005 : November 29th, 2019-10:52

ROFL! I didn't think about that. [nt]

😂😂 [nt]

Well, let's say he is better at driving :) Great communication opportunity for IWC though! Best, É. [nt]

LOL!!! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2019-11:31

IWC definitely needs a new direction in innovation and design

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : November 29th, 2019-11:28
This might be the worst iteration of the many BP's they've had.

Not my favorite, either. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2019-11:32

And here's another one associated to MB...

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : November 29th, 2019-11:33
...  

Luckily, it is a very small edition. ;) [nt]

No message body

;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2019-12:56

Just read thru this long thread... good thing that IWC limited this to 10 pieces! [nt]

 
 By: nacelle : March 31st, 2020-05:31

They should have made only one and permanently stapped it on Hamilton's wrist [nt]

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : March 31st, 2020-09:14

+++1! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 31st, 2020-10:33

Hahahahaaa!

 
 By: MTR : March 31st, 2020-23:28
Excellent one!! 😁 Best Thomas

Our I.W.C Mod seems to be a cool killer. ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 31st, 2020-23:30

LOL

 
 By: MTR : March 31st, 2020-23:35
Yes, definitely! 😊

;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 31st, 2020-23:51

So funny 🤣 [nt]

 
 By: Costa (aka Connie) : April 1st, 2020-05:19

Love it!

 
 By: sebks : November 29th, 2019-12:11
would go so well with my favorite car 🤮 ...  

Perfect match! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2019-12:51

I do like the color combos a lot

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : November 29th, 2019-12:24
Its Just a bit to big imho

That is clearly big. Maybe even more with a ceramic case. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2019-13:29

I like IWC but this particular one is not my cup of tea, no way, no how. [nt]

 
 By: Thomas_3 : November 29th, 2019-13:15

That is a clear opinion. 😆 [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2019-13:28

I actually like it.

 
 By: Costa (aka Connie) : November 29th, 2019-18:51
Sorry. I guess I have bad taste. I love my Big Pilot Petit Prince.

No problem, my friend. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 3rd, 2019-17:02

For the first time Lewis Hamilton left the track this year... [nt]

 
 By: foversta : November 29th, 2019-15:35

Good one, Fx! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2019-17:32

The colour composition at least is

 
 By: MTR : November 29th, 2019-18:23
... new and interesting. In combination with the size the watch shouts loudly. And with this golden crown it ... blares. Best Thomas

Thanks for commenting, Thomas. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2019-23:30

I respect IWC a lot (and I still own one watch by them) but a perpetual calendar pilot watch limited edition for a racecar driver is just not very convincing... [nt]

 
 By: LX (Alex) : November 30th, 2019-00:28

Isn't Lewis Hamilton a Big Pilot? ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2019-01:27

Exactly!

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : November 30th, 2019-14:23
Even without the LH association a PC doesn't belong in a pilot's watch let alone in a BP. Just my opinion, of course...

Definitely not my style.

 
 By: jlux : November 30th, 2019-01:17
The color combo of black case,burgundy dial and rose gold is just a bit too much. But sometimes these computer generated pictures also tend to over emphasize the color rendition.

True, too. Thanks for commenting, jlux. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2019-01:28

Wrist shot...

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : November 30th, 2019-10:47
...  

In terms of proportions and colors, not very convincing for me. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2019-10:53

If you are the IWC CEO it's not fair that you post your wristshots here...:-)) ;-) [nt]

 
 By: FabR : November 30th, 2019-11:13

:))) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2019-11:18

I am not a fan of Hamilton or this watch. The Big Pilot is however most definitely a classic. [nt]

Thanks for commenting, Iqbal. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2019-09:39

Agreed, and...

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : November 30th, 2019-14:07
There is only one modern Big Pilot deserving of the term "classic" ...  

That one, the " original re edition ", was THE one, I agree. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2019-14:14

You would have thought...

 
 By: Euroasianstar : November 30th, 2019-13:48
...that they’ve learned from the Kern years. But I guess they’ll gone down any rabbit hole seeking volumes and profit. There were some promising back to the roots releases recently that reminded me on the Blümlein years, but I guess if you’re part of the ... 

Well, somehow I am not surprised. There are so many variations on / of the Big Pilot... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2019-13:56

Hamilton should stick to driving cars imho 🙈 [nt]

 
 By: Centurionone : November 30th, 2019-14:59

LOL. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2019-15:02

I’ll stick to the simple question....I like it, it works. [nt]

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : November 30th, 2019-18:15

Thanks, Jay. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 1st, 2019-02:01

the colour combination is unique and interesting

 
 By: Gelato Monster : November 30th, 2019-20:02
But the busy design and the size is not for me.

Duly noted, GM. Thanks for commenting. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 1st, 2019-02:02

Last year's version...

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : December 1st, 2019-10:47
Somehow was a unique piece: ...  

That was better, in my opinion... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 1st, 2019-11:27

Yes and he gets to keep it to himself. [nt]

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : December 1st, 2019-12:27

LOL! [nt]
