====== Mercedes-AMG ======

{{wst>author|[[Foskett, Stephen|Stephen Foskett]] ([[https://grail-watch.com/|Grail Watch]])}}

The AMG brand of Mercedes-Benz (now known as Mercedes-AMG) has appeared on a series of watches from companies including [[Sinn]], [[Anonimo]], [[Panerai]], and [[IWC]].

===== Sinn =====
The German maker [[Sinn]] was the first to produce AMG-branded watches. Two models were created [[Sinn 956|Ref. 956.1103]] (limited to 250 pieces) and [[Sinn 303|Ref. 303 "35 years AMG"]] (limited to 350 pieces). Both feature the AMG brand on the dial at 9 00 and the Ref. 956 also has the logo on the automatic movement rotor, visible through its display caseback.

===== Anonimo =====
One of the bidders for the Mercedes-AMG partnership was [[Anonimo]], who produced 80 prototype [[Anonimo Chronoscopio|Chronoscopio]] models with the AMG logo. It is said that 50 hand-winding and 30 automatic models were produced. 50 were given to AMG, with the rest released to employees or sold. The watch featured AMG branding on the dial at 9 00, with chronograph totalizers at 12 and 6 and the date at 3. The movement is visible through a display caseback. The buckle is signed Anonimo.

===== Panerai =====
[[Panerai]] is also said to have submitted samples to Mercedes-AMG, with two models released for sale in [[2002]]. Both models have the same case, with [[Panerai PAM00105|PAM00105]] in white gold (limited to 100 pieces), and [[Panerai PAM00108|PAM00108]] in titanium/steel (limited to 55 pieces). Ref. PAM00105 uses the simple [[Panerai OP V|Cal. OP V]] while Ref. PAM00108 uses the [[El Primero]]-based [[Panerai OP IV|Cal. OP IV]].

===== IWC Ingenieur Mercedes AMG =====

From [[2004]] through [[2018]], [[IWC]] partnered with Mercedes-AMG on a long-running and popular series of watches under the [[IWC Ingenieur]] line. Almost all IWC AMG watches feature exotic titanium or ceramic cases and AMG lettering on the case back. Most are based on normal-production IWC Ingenieur models, with some of those being called "AMG" models even though they are not technically part of this line.

In [[2013]], IWC redesigned the entire Ingenieur line around the Mercedes-AMG partnership, making all models up to the [[2017]] refresh technically part of this line. Notable models include the [[IWC Ingenieur Automatic|Ingenieur Automatic Ref. 3227]], [[IWC Ingenieur Chronograph|Ingenieur Chronograph Ref. 3725]], [[IWC Big Ingenieur Chronograph|Big Ingenieur Chronograph Ref. 3784]], and [[IWC Big Ingenieur Chronograph|Big Ingenieur Chronograph Ref. 3796]].

===== TAG Heuer SLR =====

[[TAG Heuer]] partnered with the Mercedes-McLaren F1 team in [[2004]] to produce a limited-edition watch for buyers of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren sports car. This [[TAG Heuer SLR Chronograph Calibre 36]] included the Mercedes-Benz star on the crown and reflected the design of the car. The next watch was the [[2006]] [[TAG Heuer SLR for Mercedes-Benz]], a more conventional limited-edition watch with the "Mercedes-Benz" name on the dial along with the TAG Heuer shield. In [[2007]], a second SLR for Mercedes-Benz limited-edition watch was created, again with the Mercedes-Benz and TAG Heuer names on the dial, though later examples say "SLR" instead. In [[2008]], as the F1 partnership was dissolving, the [[TAG Heuer SLR Calibre S]] was released without Mercedes-Benz branding.
