The Da Vinci Chronograph with the IWC-manufactured 89361 calibre marks the beginning of a new age in time measurement. It displays recorded hours and minutes in an analogue display in a single subdial. This means the stop time can be read off as easily as the time of day.
In 1985, with its unrivalled Da Vinci calendar/chronograph movement, IWC heralded the arrival of a new age in mechanics. Then, in 2007, the Da Vinci Chronograph, featuring an IWC-manufactured movement from the 89000-calibre family in an innovative tonneau-shaped case with a glass back cover, marked the advent of another new and exciting future. As in the past, it records seconds with the large central chronograph hand but displays longer periods of time in an easily legible form, with two analogue hands, on a single subdial. Stopped hours and minutes can be read off immediately and unmistakably as if on a second time display. They no longer need to be viewed in separate counters and added together. This innovation, which is based on an extremely sophisticated movement design, has substantially increased the chronograph’s practical benefits.

Developed and manufactured completely by IWC in Schaffhausen, the 89360-calibre chronograph movement features a significantly improved self-winding system and sets watchmaking standards. The design, which occupied an IWC development team for a full 4 years, was necessitated by a revolutionary chronograph display that enables the user to read off even relatively long times – 8 hours and 52 minutes, for example – at a glance: a circular totaliser combines the hour and minute counters as if they were a watch within a watch. Apart from this, the winding system now has four instead of two pawls to transmit the energy developed by the rotor, increasing the mechanism’s efficiency by a noticeable 30 percent. After further development, the movement was known as the 89800 calibre and used for the large digital date and month displays in the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month.
