====== IWC 59360 ======
Cal. **59360** is an [[hand winding]] [[modular]] [[monopusher]] [[chronograph]] movement produced by [[IWC]] starting in [[2015]].

===== Details =====
IWC has been transitioning to [[in-house]] movements since [[2000]], enhancing the reputation and technical features of their watches. In [[2011]], IWC introduced the [[IWC 59000|Cal. 59000 family]] of [[hand-wound]] [[eight day]] movements. This family features a single [[barrel]] and [[mainspring]] and ticks at a modern [[4 Hz]], making the [[long power reserve|long 192 hour power reserve]] extremely impressive.

**Cal. 59360**, introduced in [[2015]] in the [[IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher]], is the only member of this family with a [[chronograph]] complication. The movement had been revealed in [[2013]] at [[SIHH]] but was withdrawn before sale and reappeared two years later on a special edition [[IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher|Unique Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher Edition "Tribeca Film Festival 2015"]].

Although IWC's contemporary [[IWC 89000|Cal. 89000 family of chronographs]] was introduced just a few years before, it is a compact, conventional automatic movement with twin [[pusher]]s. For the Portofino, IWC wanted a classic [[monopusher]] design in a large movement befitting the massive diameter of the Portofino case. The chronograph is implemented as a module on [[IWC 59215|Cal. 59215]] and features a [[column wheel]] yet is only 1 mm thicker than the base movement.

The chronograph mechanism in Cal. 59360 is quite unusual in design. It features a [[oscillating pinion|rocking pinion]] to engage the [[seconds wheel]] in the base movement rather than the [[vertical clutch]] found on many other high-end chronographs. Another classic and important element is the [[sautoir]], which allows the chronograph minutes hand to [[jump]] instantaneously rather than advance continually with the seconds hand.
