Hollywood and Formula 1 collide as IWC celebrates F1 film with Mercedes stars in Miami
In a high-octane fusion of film and motorsport, IWC Schaffhausen celebrated its partnership with the upcoming F1 movie during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. The exclusive event featured Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team Principal Toto Wolff and driver George Russell, alongside Hollywood powerhouses including producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Kerry Condon and Simone Ashley. The collaboration marked a unique crossover as real Formula 1 met its cinematic counterpart. The film, which stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, was shot over two years at actual Formula 1 Grands Prix™, providing fans with an unprecedented level of realism. Mercedes driver George Russell spoke about the surreal moment of sharing a podium with Brad Pitt and his excitement heading into the Miami Grand Prix. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and actresses Kerry Condon and Simone Ashley expressed their thrill at shooting during live F1 races, emphasizing the film's commitment to authenticity. Toto Wolff echoed this, calling the movie a true representation of the sport's spirit and adrenaline. IWC Schaffhausen, a long-time Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS partner, also sponsors APXGP, the fictional 11th team featured in the film. As part of the project, IWC designed an exclusive APXGP watch collection, worn on-screen by Brad Pitt's character Sonny Hayes and other cast members. The Ingenieur Automatic 40 with its striking green dial is the star of the collection and was showcased at the event. The celebration not only highlighted the synergy between Hollywood and Formula 1 but also positioned the F1 movie as one of the most authentic motorsport films ever produced.

Style Edit: At Watches and Wonders 2025, IWC Schaffhausen dropped Pilot's Watch models tied to Brad Pitt's movie F1, as well as other Pilot's Watch and Ingenieur variants
IWC Schaffhausen delivered just what every fan of the elegant, technically sophisticated Swiss luxury watch brand desired at Watches and Wonders 2025 : stunning new updates to two of its most storied and coveted series – the Ingenieur and Pilot's Watch collections. IWC Schaffhausen brand ambassador Eileen Gu at Watches and Wonders on April 1. The Ingenieur collection first saw the light of day in the 1950s, but it was reborn in the 70s with an eye-catching design featuring a trademark integrated bracelet, the work of horological legend Gérald Genta. In 2023, that classic look was revived via the Ingenieur Automatic 40. Now, the same ergonomic profile is available in an even wider range of sizes and materials.

It's available in three versions, one of which is made of gold, from the case to the dial and the bracelet. IWC Schaffhausen Ingenieur Automatic 35 with silver-plated dial.

Both show off all the signature Ingenieur touches, from the integrated bracelet, to the five screws positioned around the bezel, to the grid-patterned dial. Also on show at Watches and Wonders were an all-gold rendition of the Ingenieur Automatic 40, plus the new Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41. IWC Schaffhausen Ingenieur Automatic 42. Photo: Handout There's no collection more synonymous with IWC Schaffhausen than the much-loved Pilot's Watch, which has even deeper roots than the Ingenieur, stretching all the way back to the 1930s. Some of the most compelling newest additions to the collection, however, have a distinctly contemporary source of inspiration: the forthcoming movie F1, which stars Brad Pitt as a motorsport legend who comes out of retirement to mentor a young star.
