Lewis Hamilton received a special farewell watch at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
This weekend, Lewis Hamilton wrapped up a 12-year ride with Mercedes at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, clawing his way back from 16th on the starting grid to finish in a very respectable p4. Over the course of his Mercedes innings, he has achieved 84 wins, 78 pole positions, six Drivers’ Championships and a grand total of 153 podium finishes.
And for 11 out of those years, Hamilton has put in an equally impressive shift flying the flag for IWC Schaffhausen, where week in week out he has regularly repped some of the Swiss watchmakers hottest watches.
It’s a pretty hefty pilots’ watch, and includes patented constant force technology, designed to keep seriously accurate time. How specifically? By keeping the angle the balance spring gets wound up every second consistent, of course. So if Hamilton’s aim was to go out with a horological bang on his last public appearance as a Mercedes/IWC guy, this beast of a ticker is a pretty good bet.
