IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton

IWC Schaffhausen presents the Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton. Designed in collaboration with the seven-time Formula One world champion and IWC brand ambassador, it features a refined platinum case, a teal dial and a matching textile strap. The IWC- manufactured 89900 calibre drives a flying minute tourbillon, a chronograph function and a retrograde date display. This timepiece is limited to 44 pieces, reflecting the number Hamilton has raced with since the beginning of his incredible career.

Lewis Hamilton is not only one of the most accomplished athletes in motorsport, but he has also earned a reputation for his distinctive personal style and iconic outfits. The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team driver often pushes the boundaries with his fashion choices, embracing bold colours, patterns, and original designs. The IWC brand ambassador has now joined forces with IWC Chief Design Officer Christian Knoop and his team again to design his third special edition timepiece.

“It has been an honour and a pleasure to work with Lewis on this project. His passion for IWC and comprehensive knowledge of mechanical watches were palpable at every stage of the two-year development process. Lewis knew exactly what he wanted and brought excellent ideas to the table. The result is a timepiece that combines his unerring sense of aesthetics and love of bold colours with some of the finest watchmaking technology ever developed in Schaffhausen,” explains Christian Knoop, IWC Chief Design Officer.
