====== IWC 59000 ======
The **59000** family of calibres is a series of specialty [[hand winding]] [[eight day]] [[manufacture]] movements produced by [[IWC]] since [[2011]].

===== Details =====
IWC has been transitioning to [[in-house]] movements since [[2000]], enhancing the reputation and technical features of their watches. Part of this development includes the production of specialty high-end movements. The **Cal. 59000 family**, like the [[IWC 94000|Cal. 94000 family]] introduced the same year, is a large hand winding movement with long power reserve. However, unlike the double-barrel Cal. 94000, the Cal. 59000 series uses a single barrel with an unusually long, powerful mainspring. This recalls the design of [[IWC 5000|Cal. 5000]], IWC's first modern movement design, as does the large size of the movement.

The Cal. 59000 family includes a basic time-only movement as well as a traditional [[monopusher]] [[chronograph]] and even a [[tourbillon]]. Most feature a [[power reserve indicator]], common on high-end hand-winding movements. All Cal. 59000 family movements oscillate at 28,800 A/h and have 192 hour power reserve.
