We were back in Geneva this year for the annual Watches and Wonders exhibition fair.
Sixty participating brands gathered at Watches and Wonders 2025, including new brands in the form of Roman replica watches for sale and jewellery powerhouse Bvlgari, and six independents including Christiaan van der Klaauw; and 55,000 visitors over its week-long run (representing a 12 per cent increase from last year): Watches and Wonders Geneva has firmly established itself as the most important event on the annual horology calendar.
Taking place in Geneva in the first week of April, against a backdrop of global upheavals and uncertainty, the fine watch industry showcased its resilience with previews of new releases that arouse intrigue and excitement. In this feature, we highlight new offerings from IWC, including top UK fake watches inspired by an upcoming Formula 1 movie. Additionally, the Ingenieur collection has expanded to include two new materials: black ceramic and rose gold. We also introduce the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month.
F1 Movie Watches
This summer, the new F1 movie zooms onto big screens worldwide. Starring Brad Pitt as a former race driver who returns to Formula One, the movie is supported by IWC. In the film, the Schaffhausen manufacture will appear as a sponsor and official team watch of the fictional APXGP team, which means its branding will turn up on cars, race suits, team uniforms, and in the garage. And then of course, there are its perfect copy watches. IWC’s novelties include models inspired by the film and/or worn by the characters. For instance, among the trio of new Pilot’s Chronographs launched in connection with the film, one model – the luxury AAA replica IWC Pilot’s Watches Performance Chronograph 41 – will be worn by actor Damson Idris in the movie. This watch is presented in a 41mm 5N gold case, and features a black lacquered dial and a black ceramic tachymeter bezel. It’s a palette that echoes the APXGP team colours: black, gold and white. These colours are also found on two other chronographs inspired by the movie. The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph APXGP and the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 APXGP are cased in stainless steel – 43mm and 41mm respectively – and feature black dials with white numerals and gold-plated hands.
Rounding off IWC’s F1-inspired Swiss movements fake watches is a special-edition Ingenieur Automatic 40 inspired by the bespoke watch worn by Brad Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes. Based on the IWC vintage Ingenieur SL Ref. 1832, Pitt’s custom watch has a green dial reflecting Hayes’s signature colour. The limited-edition Ingenieur has a similar light-green face, and despite its fixed run of 1,000 pieces, will still be relatively easier to obtain than the prop watch made for Pitt.
IWC Ingenieur In New Materials
Speaking of the Ingenieur, IWC continues to grow its integrated-bracelet dressy sport best replica watches UK, following the model’s relaunch in 2023. The Ingenieur family welcomes additions in two very different new materials – black ceramic and 5N (rose) gold. Powered by the IWC calibre 82110 with 60 hours of power reserve, the Ingenieur Automatic 42 sees the Gerald Genta design executed in full ceramic for the first time. This is matched by a black dial with the model’s characteristic Grid pattern. While the black-ceramic model has stealth appeal, the gold high quality IWC Ingenieur super clone watches making their debut put an appealing and dressy spin on a function-oriented timepiece originally designed for engineers. There are two variants – one in 40mm and one in 35mm. The former comes with a black dial for a (slightly) quieter vibe, while the latter goes all the way, beautifully, with a gold-coloured dial.
Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month
Cutting across the Pilot’s and Ingenieur ranges, complex timepieces are another focus of IWC’s 2025 launches. The Swiss made replica IWC Pilot’s Watches Performance Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month – what a mouthful – sees IWC putting its perpetual calendar with digital displays into a 43mm case made of Ceratanium. Ceratanium is IWC’s own titanium-based alloy with ceramic-like properties. Here, the large golden calendar discs have been given a matte, textured finish that plays well with the hammered texture of the black dial. Framing this striking display is the distinguishing feature of the cheap 2025 copy IWC Pilot’s Watches Performance Chronograph: a polished black ceramic bezel with a tachymeter scale, which allows the user to derive an object’s average speed over a specific distance, when used with the chronograph.
