Proving that IWC Big Pilot Replica really meant business in the ultra-thin game, Baselworld 2016 saw the introduction of its second record-breaker - the IWC Big Pilot Replica Finissimo Minute Repeater. The creation of a chiming watch calls upon levels of skill that few brands possess, so for IWC Big Pilot Replica to not only perfect the art of sound but to do it in the smallest possible space proved that in terms of watchmaking prowess it was now running with the big boys. Calibre BVL 362 measures just 3.12mm thick with an overall case thickness of an astonishing 6.85mm.
On the decision to go thin, Babin points out that the IWC Big Pilot Replica is the perfect vehicle for this complex feat of engineering. "The lookexpresses the future of IWC Big Pilot Replica. We want to be the first brand that springs to mind when people think of ultra-thin. It is hard to have a thin round watch that is full of character, but with Finissimo,IWC Big Pilot Replica we have created a 'Wow!' both inside and out.
"In the luxury world, as well as quality you need to have greatdesign - this cannot be ignored as it is what you see every day.If you look at buying a Ferrari, it is good to know that you have a V12 engine with 700hp underneath the bonnet, but you have to love it at first sight. If it is ugly or boring to look at, then the salesperson can talk forever about the amazing engine, thebuyeris unlikely to care. However, if people like the design andtrust the brand then you are halfway there. When Itellclients that like the look of the Finissimo that it is the world's thinnest watch, they are delighted, but it would be muchharder the other way around. Ideally you have to combine both mechanical and aesthetic perfection, but mechanics willnever appeal to the heart as much as design."
Automatic Response
And now, for 2017, the Finissimo has been launched in a self-winding version - the world's thinnest automatic ever weighing just 68g,Tudor Replica Watches a record-breaking achievement that brought with it its own set of difficulties. "A standard rotor can add up to a third to the total thickness of a movement, which we could not allow," saysBabin. "A peripheral rotor would have added to the diameterand we could not accommodate this within the existingFinissimo case - it would have increased the size by 3mmor so taking it to 45 or 46mm. If the watch was thinner and wider it wouldn't work - we needed to keep the subtle balance of the manual-wind Finissimo case because we knew those proportions were perfect."
Babin and his team decided to use a micro-rotor, which is thicker than a normal rotor but with a smaller diameter so it can work within a thin platform. This meant that the volumetric masshas to be much higher than that of a normal rotor otherwisewrist movement alone would not give adequate rotation, so the real challenge was in calculating the weight and discovering which materials would work well - the eventual decision being platinum. The choice of a micro rotor led to the redesign of the entire movement because, although the rotor diameter is small, it still occupied the space of 40 existing components of the manual-winding movement.
