    I don't remember that has been dicussed this here recently, so a small and perhaps obvious question...of all the IWCs I had and have, all are driven by hacking seconds movements...does IWC currently is using movements with a non-hacking mechanism??...if so, in which models??

    Today you cannot offer that anymore. Hacking seconds is a must in a modern movement.

    Hello Tilo, there are still many watches currently produced without hacking, the most famous being the Speedmaster and Zenith watches equiped with El Primero. 
    Regarding IWC I don’t think there is any movement in the current production without hacking feature.

    IWC has no movement without that. I don't see any advantage not to hack.
    One more reason to buy IWC only. ;-)

    You would think that hacking is a given feature in today's luxury watch offerings. Heck...even all my inexpensive Casio's etc. hack. But true, a number of high end manufacturers / movements don't offer a hacking complication. 

    Moderator...for purpose of this topic discussion,  I submit this photo only for example. Please omit if necessary. Apologies if any rule has been violated. 

    So here is a wonderful Pilot watch that I really enjoy. Only one complaint. NO HACKING !  On a pilot ?  Glad IWC movements in-house or not, incorporates hacking  in all their offerings.

    Really a beautiful watch, but ... what the hack?

    Some say it features just a Valjoux, I say: It's hacking!
