    I am wondering which watches have in-house movements, and if any of the
    brought in and then IWC-modified movements have the Pellatan? system?

    That is not such a clear cut question to ask. Most modern IWC's have in house
    movements but not all. Depends on the model and year of production.

    IWC have created new In-House Chronograph and 3 Hand movements which will
    debut with the new Spitfire line of watches

    No brought in movements were modified to add Pellaton winding. This mechanism
    is reserved for the Portugieser 7 Days and Big Pilot Movements.

    For being sure about a watch's movement, you have to do research.

    But as a general rule I would say, that watches with see-through glass back
    have an IWC-manufactured movement.

    But there are also many watches with solid case back which have in-house
    movements, especially in the Pilots, Ingenieur and Aquatimer-Family. For
    reasons of magnetisum and water protection these family's models usually don't
    have a glass back.

    I think the easiest way is to go on IWC website, for example this page:
    www.iwc.com/en/calibre-family/32000.html

    On top you find a drop-down menu called "CALIBRE FAMILY". If you click on this
    menu, you find all the in-house movement families. All movements that are NOT
    on this list are sourced from third parties (ETA, Sellita, for example).

    By clicking on a calibre family you can find more information. For example
    that the Pellaton winding system is also found in the Cal. 80000 and 82000
    families.
