In Lewis Hamilton’s 10 years at Mercedes he’s won seven F1 championships, and in a less official capacity, totally owned the title of Formula One fit-off champion, too. One thing that’s remained consistent for throughout this time is his loyalty to IWC Schaffhausen, with the Swiss brand’s (predominantly) perfect replica IWC pilot’s watches featuring in a load of his post-race and off-track fits.

And now, you can get your hands on one of his podium-worthy AAA US IWC fake watches as Bonhams has announced it’s auctioning it off to coincide with the Laureus Charity night.

The high quality replica watches in question is an IWC Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team model. It’s pretty rare, and was the timepiece worn to celebrate his ninth Silverstone win in the summer just gone. You know that picture where he’s wrapped in a Union Jack flag, kissing the trophy right before a shower of champagne? That copy watches for men, pride of place. But it gets better. As well as the top-spot kettle, the lot features a pair of signed racing gloves worn during the race, which were kindly donated by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team.

This special lot is expected to reach between £26,000 and £89,000 at auction, which will take place in Zurich on October 19. Proceeds from the top replica watches will be donated to The Laureus Charity, helping children find positivity through sports.

Hamilton has form for pulling up to races in one-of-one IWCs. At the Monaco Grand Prix this year, he wore an unreleased luminous ceramic pilot’s best super clone watches; and in Monza he rocked a Portugieser Tourbillon concept one of one which peeked from a Jawara Alleyne coat plucked straight from the runway.

Luxury IWC replica watches has been the official engineering partner of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team since 2013, so Hamilton flying the flag makes total sense. But with his move to Ferrari all confirmed (he’ll make his debut at the Australian Grand Prix in 2025), all good things must come to an end. Question is, how quickly will it be before we start seeing him slap on a Richard Mille with his Ferrari teammates.

With Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes-AMG’s relationship done and dusted, waving goodbye to Swiss movements IWC fake watches is part of the package. But with a very amicable charity auction, it’s clear they’re leaving on good terms.
