====== IWC 32000 ====== **Cal. 32000** is a new compact [[in-house]] watch movement from [[IWC]] introduced in [[2019]]. ===== Overview ===== IWC has been transitioning to [[in-house]] movements since [[2000]], enhancing the reputation and technical features of their watches. One of the final areas to address was the need for a time-only movement, and this was addressed with [[IWC 82110|Cal. 82110]], introduced in [[2017]]. This new calibre family is based on the [[ETA 2892-A2]] architecture but all components are said to be produced in-house. This is in contrast to predecessors in the [[IWC 30000|Cal. 30000 family]] which used an ETA [[ebauche]]s and others which were made from "kits" produced by ETA and Sellita. In [[2019]], IWC introduced **Cal. 32110**, a new compact movement based on the [[IWC 82000|Cal. 82000 family]]. Like the [[IWC 82000|Cal. 82000 family]], the Cal. 32000 family uses the basic architecture of the [[ETA 2892/A2]], a movement long used by IWC as their [[IWC 30110|Cal. 30110]]. Like the Cal. 82000 family, Cal. 32110 has components made of [[silicon]] and [[ceramic]] for longevity. Specifically, the [[escape wheel]] and [[pallet lever]] are constructed of silicon. Although it features bi-directional [[pawl]] winding, it is a "push-pull" design like the [[Seiko]] [[magic lever]] system rather than IWC's [[Pellaton]] system. This same arrangement was used in [[IWC 69000|IWC's Cal. 69000 family]] and makes these movements more affordable. Perhaps the most important element of the design of Cal. 32000 is its size At 25.6 mm diameter, it is exactly the same size as the [[ETA 2892/A2]] and is a drop-in replacement for the [[IWC 30000|Cal. 30000 series]]. Cal. 32110 will likely see use throughout IWC's range, replacing the [[ETA]] (and [[Sellita]]) based movements used previously. This new architecture differs markedly from the previous in-house automatic movement launched in [[2005]], [[IWC 80000|Cal. 80000 family]], which was based on the [[Valjoux 7750]] architecture and measured 30 mm diameter. ===== Movement family ===== * [[IWC 32110]] (2019-present) - 21 jewels, [[central seconds]], date **Description:** * [[Automatic]] movement * Bi-directional winding **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[central seconds]] * [[Date window]] at 3 00 **Data:** * Ø 25.6 mm * 21 [[jewels]] * 28,800 A/h * [[Power reserve]] 72 hours **Production period:** * [[2019]]-Present * Predecessor [[IWC 30000]] and [[IWC 80000]] family ===== See Also ===== * [[IWC 82000]] - A related family of 30 mm movements with [[Pellaton winding]] * [[IWC 69000]] - An [[automatic chronograph]] movement with the same winding system * [[IWC 30000]] - The predecessor 25.6 mm movement * [[IWC 80000]] - The predecessor 30 mm movement ===== Weblinks ===== * [[https://www.iwc.com/us/en/calibre-family/32000.html|Calibre Family 32000]], iwc.com {{tag>Movements Automatic_movements IWC_calibres}}
