    Excuse me for my missing knowledge, but I could not find any trusted
    information (maybe looked at the wrong places) so I turn to this wonderful
    community: does the new IWC in-house chroograph caliber 69380 have a
    horizontal or a vertical clutch system? A "blown-up" photo or CAD-drawing
    would also be nice to see - if there is any out there.

    Thanks in advance for any kind input! Best,

    Robert

    Hard to believe that no-one has the knowledge about it? Maybe someone from the
    Manufacture?

    Very late reply, but from what I've seen it uses a horizontal/lateral clutch, I have seen it in close up photos and the occasional "lag/jerk" of the chronograph seconds hand is also evident. I own a IWC with 69385 in house movement too. So don't use the chronograph non-stop.
