As early as 1884, watch factories used the time display in pocket watches in this revolutionary way at the time.The Pallweber pocket watch displays the hours and minutes in large numbers on a rotating display disc. However, such an innovative time display seemed too avant-garde at the time: this watch was a hit for a while, but it faded out of people's sight in the following years. On the occasion of celebrating the brand anniversary, IWC pays special tribute to the pioneering spirit of Schaffhausen watchmakers with the special edition of replica IWC Watches the 150th anniversary of IWC "Pallweber" (model: 5050).

The one-minute disc of this movement is powered by a separate train system with a proprietary barrel. The release mechanism connected to the watch's own wheel system is released every 60 seconds and then re-locked. After 10 minutes, the one-minute disc will drive the ten-minute disc and switch to the next position. Every 60 minutes, the hour wheel will jump to the next hour digit. The power of the individual wheel system on the display panel will not affect the conventional wheel system, ensuring precise operation and a high 60-hour power reserve. Like previous Pallweber pocket watches, the indicator disc is driven by a linkage mechanism with a star wheel (Geneva drive), which can be moved forward or backward relatively easily through the crown.
