All good things must come to an end, and so it is with this short, sharp podcast series that has taken Andrew McUtchen and Chris Granger-Herr, IWC CEO, on a journey through the brand's history in F1, what goes into designing a watch for those at the very top of the sport, and the massive partnership that IWC struck with the new F1 movie starring Brad Pitt. And in this final episode, we get more depth, detail, and anecdotes about the making of that film and IWC's involvement.
We start this episode off in typical Andrew fashion with him in a full race suit and getting a dressing down from 'team principal' Chris. And while it turns out that the suit Andrew has donned wasn't worn on screen, it leads them nicely into a discussion about how certain watches ended up on screen. A favourite moment for many in this episode will be Chris recounting the tale of how Brad Pitt sent him an email asking for a very specific watch to wear in the film, but with some modifications to it so it fit his exacting standards. As we all know by now, that watch was his original Ingenieur, which was made thinner and given a green dial to match his character.
We also hear more about the expansion of the Ingenieur collection, from the blue dial we saw last year, to the many new iterations that joined the catalogue at this year's Watches and Wonders. And of course, we can't talk about new Ingenieur's without mentioning the limited edition that was based on the one made for Brad Pitt with its green dial and gold markers. A gem of the collection that is as close as you'll get to owning the same watch on Brad's wrist in the film.
It wasn't all about watches though this episode, Chris and Andrew also talk about how Chris managed to get his own cameo in the movie, given his pivotal role in this longstanding partnership. There are some illuminated details that Chris shares about this rather unique movie making process and something you will have to hear from the man himself to believe it. But him featuring in the film feels realistic, given that it was him who placed the very first IWC decals on the Mercedes F1 front wing when the partnership was first signed. Tearing the decal out of the poor intern's hands who was tasked with the job.
Unfortunately, this episode does conclude our mini-series with these two going back and forth over their love for all this watches and motorsport. But all four episodes will continue to live on our YouTube channel, and so you can go back and catch up on them any time, and share with those in your life the love F1 and watches. Thank you for watching along with us and we'll see you on the podium.
