[ via IWC ]PRESS RELEASE: IWC Ingenieur Automatic Edition "Climate Action" A carbon-neutral watch, made for a cause that benefits everyone - this is the IWC Ingenieur Automatic Edition "Climate Action". It is the symbol of a world that can be saved. Provided many people pull their weight. The campaign by environmentally aware management also helps. And IWC plays its part. Can we save the world with a watch? Perhaps. For the fight against global warming begins within - in the minds of as many people as possible. And the Ingenieur Automatic Edition "Climate Action" is a positive indication that more and more of us are doing something for the love of our planet. IWC, for example, is doing something as a carbon-neutral certified enterprise. The Schaffhausen manufactory is supporting The Climate Group, an independent nonprofit organization founded in 2004, with the Ingenieur Automatic Edition "Climate Action". Part of the proceeds from sales will be channeled into projects of this internationally active organization, which works with governments and business leaders around the world with a view to the rapid establishment of a low-carbon economy. Many companies, states, regions and municipalities around the world are demonstrating that a reduction in greenhouse gases is essential, and that this is achievable alongside a simultaneous increase in profitability and competitiveness. The Climate Group uses the work of these trailblazers as a catalyst to enable it rapidly to identify pragmatic solutions in its international efforts against global warming. "The next five years will prove decisive for the world's climate," says Steve Howard, CEO of The Climate Group. "Our emissions on a worldwide scale must reach their peak in the foreseeable future and then decrease. We must restrict heating of the atmosphere to two degrees centigrade. The further we exceed that limit, the more radical the ensuing changes will be." The Climate Group was founded in London in 2004. Steve Howard and his staff have since succeeded in enlisting the support of a series of multinational corporations for their cause. These are people who most certainly do not stand around at the Wailing Wall of environmental policy. They actually do something, by proposing market-oriented solutions leading us away from the problems associated with CO2. The Ingenieur Automatic Edition "Climate Action" will be limited to 1,000 watches and fills the bill precisely, as do all the other watches from IWC, of course. The carbon footprint of the manufactory is impressive. All the CO2 emissions previously generated by the business are gradually being reduced by the use of alternative technologies. For the unavoidable CO2 emissions, such as those resulting from business air travel, an equivalent balancing amount is invested in a wind energy project in China, which promotes the utilization of regenerative energies. However, the Ingenieur Automatic Edition "Climate Action" does more than support this project. It is also a symbol. With its purist Ingenieur design, its "regenerative" mechanical drive and the mix of conventional and advanced materials - namely stainless steel and ceramic - it is an ideal ambassador for the notion that the world's climate is a subject that concerns us. As always, actions speak louder than words. And as a long lived, robust high-quality product - like all the other watches from IWC - it also satisfies the requirement for sustainability. The limited special edition differs from the standard model through its silvered dial and the discreet use of yellow five-minute indices and a back engraving. The colour theme is repeated in the backstitching of the strap and the engraving "IWC supports voluntary action on climate change" reiterates the commitment of the Schaffhausen watch manufactory to the environment.

The Portuguese family announces a cocktail of variations: new elegant dials complement the highly distinctive range from IWC, and a new yellow gold version makes the trilogy in gold complete. The Portuguese Chrono-Automatics from IWC are watches for active people who appreciate a superb and distinctively elegant timekeeping companion. These are people who may be prepared to go without many supplementary functions, but not without the protective case which confers the accolade of suitability for everyday use on a watch.With a hardness grade of 9, its convex sapphire glass can withstand any concrete wall, and its resistance to scratching defers only to a diamond. This guarantees a clear view of the classic dial with its Arabic numerals that are so typical of the Portuguese range, the elegant lance hands and the two vertically arranged inner dials for the small seconds at 6 o'clock and the chronograph 30-minutes counter at 12 o'clock. An indispensable feature for uncomplicated watch lovers is the water resistance to 30 m, which guarantees that there is nothing to fear even from water sport activities. While on the subject of sport: the Portuguese Chrono-Automatic opens up the exciting possibility of capturing a small piece of time itself by simply pressing a button on the chronograph, whether monitoring your personal training time or taking measurements in the heat of competition between athletes. The precision scale on the outer edge of the case permits measurements down to a quarter of a second.The Portuguese Chrono-Automatic is an independent and autonomous power plant. At any rate for as long as its wearer is in motion. Powered by the 79240 calibre mechanical automatic movement with 28 800 beats per hour, it provides the proverbial precision in the passage of time. It reflects this with absolute reliably, and the power reserve will even survive a 44-hour interruption in movements. Although the case diameter of 41 mm makes the Portuguese Chrono- Automatic a substantial item that scarcely goes unnoticed, it remains a restrained timepiece with its seductive alike. And yet: varietas delectat �C to quote from the philosopher Cicero: variety is the spice of life. True to form, IWC is about to launch an entirely new and engaging array of variants. The previous range of models, which more closely resembled a readily identifiable small family in terms of the choice of materials and dial colours, has been expanded into a strong and diverse team.
