[ 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.

Always driven by passion and the desire to create something more than just wrist accessories, IWC has come up with another sporty watch that has been enjoying great popularity amongst the watch connoisseurs with its unique approach to design and its amazing technical features.Established back in 1868 by Florentine Aristo Jones, IWC started as a house of watch manufacturing that provided movements and technical watch *** items for the States. By choosing Switzerland as the headquarters of the factory, Florentine Aristo Jones assured the later success of IWC not only because of the Swiss watch manufacturing tradition, but because, compared to the States, there were lower costs of maintaining the factory open. The IWC Company would very soon develop into one of the most esteemed brands in watch manufacturing, with boutiques all over the world and with loyal customers thirsty for new collections and timepieces manufactured by IWC.One of the most successful lines ever produced by IWC was launched in 2009, with the introduction of the new IWC Ingenieur Big Chronograph Watch, which has been a hit timepiece that generated amazing sales in the IWC boutiques all over the world. This watch has been created for the taste of the modern adventurous man, who is always interested in action, gadgets and technical functionality. The modern design of the watch seem really appealing, being concentrated on a contrast between black and silvery stainless steel, managing to provide a look that's both sporty and elegant at the same time.The new IWC Ingenieur Big Chronograph Watch was released during the SIHH 2009 event, in Geneva and was regarded as one of the breakthrough timepieces of the year. Regarding the design of the watch, we can say that it uses neat elements brought together by the most modern appearance. The roundly-shaped case is made of stainless steel and it features a bezel made from polished stainless steel. The bezel has a scale for the tachymeter function and the lateral side of the case is equipped with a crown and two pushers which help set the functions of the chronograph. The black dial of the IWC Ingenieur Big Chronograph Watch has Arabic numerals indicating the minutes, two sub-dials for the a 60 minutes counter and one for the 12 hour counter, positioned symmetrically at 12 and 6 o'clock positions, and also a date window which has made room discreetly in the lower part of the sub-dial from 6 o'clock. The hands of the dial are made of stainless steel and are also, luminescent treated to provide the best visibility at night.This watch comes on a black leather strap fitted with a polished stainless steel clasp and is available in two versions, featuring different materials; one version is crafted from platinum, while the other uses pink gold.
