Lewis Hamilton loves a bit of design and he takes the creative input into his IWC partnership very seriously. This is the third watch they have made together, and the fanciest yet. The 43.5mm case is hewn from finest platinum and the gold plated chronograph movement has a solid gold winding rotor and comes equipped with the watchmaking flourish of a flying tourbillon, visible through the window at six o’clock. The chronograph minutes are shown on the window at the top, while the date is displayed via a retrograde hand at nine o’clock. This supercar-priced watch is produced in a limited run of 44 pieces, matching Hamilton’s race number. Comes with a textile strap.
