As Mercedes-Benz celebrates its 140th anniversary in 2026, our automotive columnist Marc Bouchard recently wrote about the lates<\/a>t<\/a> E-Class<\/a>, whilst IWC Schaffhausen recently unveiled a watch to pay tribute to the German car manufacturer: the Big Pilot\u2019s Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet 140 Years Mercedes-Benz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the two companies have been collaborating since 2004, nearly 25 years, to drive innovation in engineering, performance and design, whether through the inclusion of IWC dials in Mercedes-AMG cars or, more recently, an IWC app on MBUX screens. Let us not forget that it was thanks to the ingenuity of Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler that the world\u2019s first motor car came into being; at the time, it was more of a motorized cart than a Silver Arrows<\/em>. Speaking of Silver Arrows<\/em>, since 2013 the Swiss luxury watchmaker has also been the\u201cOfficial Engineering Partner\u201d of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, the official Mercedes-Benz racing team. But the collaboration goes even further. The two brands have also joined forces on numerous other projects, including special-edition watches inspired by the design cues of the legendary G-Class or the racing team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond that, IWC and Mercedes-Benz<\/a> have brought this partnership to life through countless memorable experiences for their customers: from visits to Formula 1 races and other thrilling motor racing events, such as the 24 Hours of the N\u00fcrburgring, to exhilarating driving academies behind the wheel of Mercedes-AMG\u2019s most powerful sports cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
