====== IWC 94000 ====== The **94000** family of calibres is a series of specialty [[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. 94000 family** is the basis for many of these, launched in [[2011]] and remaining in production. It uses [[double barrel|two mainspring barrels]], providing power for complications including a [[tourbillon]] and specialty [[digital]] time display. This was a departure for the company, which had previously relied on a single barrel design for long power reserve movements but suffered poor [[isochronism]] as a result. The two mainspring barrels can power the entire watch (as in the [[tourbillon]] models) or can be de-coupled, powering the display and timekeeping separately (as in the [[2018]] [[Pallweber]] models). This is reminiscent of sister company [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]]'s [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre|Duomètre]] movement family. All Cal. 94000 family movements are [[hand wound]]. Most oscillate at 18,000 A/h though the Pallweber Cal. 94200 operates at 28,800. ===== Movement family ===== * [[IWC 94200]] (2018) [[IWC Pallweber]] - 50 jewels - [[Jumping]] hours and minutes, [[small seconds]], 60 hour power reserve * [[IWC 94800]] (2013) - 43 jewels - Constant-force [[tourbillon]]; [[day/night indicator]], [[moon phase indicator]], hours, minutes, seconds, 96 hour power reserve * [[IWC 94805]] (2018) - 41 jewels - Constant-force [[tourbillon]]; [[day/night indicator]], [[moon phase indicator]], hours, minutes, [[small seconds]], [[power reserve indicator]], 96 hour power reserve * [[IWC 94900]] (2011) - [[IWC Portugieser Sidérale Scafusia|Portugieser Sidérale Scafusia]] - 56 jewels - [[Tourbillon]], astronomical module ([[sidereal]] and [[solar time]], [[sunrise and sunset]] time, [[perpetual calendar]], [[moon phase indicator]]), [[power reserve indicator]], 96 hour power reserve **Description:** * [[Hand winding]] [[double barrel]] movement **Functions:** * [[Tourbillon]] * [[Jumping]] time * [[Astronomical]] displays **Data:** * 41, 43, 50, 56 [[jewels]] * 18,000 or 28,800 A/h * [[Power reserve]] 60 or 96 hours **Production period:** * [[2011]]-current ===== Weblinks ===== * [[https://www.iwc.com/us/en/calibre-family/94000.html|Calibre Family 94000]], iwc.com {{tag>Movements Double_barrel_movements IWC_calibres}}
