Hamburg/Germany based Jeweler WEMPE unveils “Iron Walker”

This is the third watch line launched by the 142-year-old family-owned Wempe company since the introduction of the Wempe Glashütte I/SA brand in 2006. Timeless elegance and sporty functionality characterize the line’s design aesthetic, which underscores the wearer’s personality: self-confident in business, stylishly self-assured in leisure, and tenacious in sports.

16 model variants for men and women

Iron Walker is made for the independent man who doesn’t waver from his principles. Instead of being dazzled by short-term mainstream taste, he prefers modern design and sporty elegance combined with durability. For these free spirits, the Iron Walker line with integrated stainless-steel bracelets offers four different men’s models: a chronograph, a diver’s watch, and two flat dress watches. When all the design variants are taken into account, a total of sixteen new models with self-winding or quartz movements are available. Steel strength and sparkle for strong, self-assured women. This kind of woman prefers to wear an individualized stainless-steel watch that expresses her personal lifestyle. The Iron Walker line offers women’s watch models with self-winding or quartz movements and three different dial colors. Here too, the stainless-steel bracelet is integrated into the design and ensures an optimal fit.

Iron Walker watches are powered by Swiss self-winding calibers or quartz movements of proven quality. To ensure that Wempe standards are met, the movements are assembled in the company’s own workshop in Glashütte, Saxony, and optimized with a fine adjustment and are precisely timed to undergo chronometer certification. Watches that pass the German chronometric testing process must be capable of being set to the second. The caliber may not be tested separately but only after it has been integrated into the case. Only if the watch has an average rate deviation of two seconds per day or less can it pass the German test in accordance with the ISO 3159 standard and thus be called a chronometer.

Not Just Any Watch. Your Wempe Iron Walker.


In every area of our life, there are people who take the first step, people who lead the way and serve as models for others. That’s the reason why there isn’t the one and only Wempe Iron Walker. Let the Iron Walker reflect your personality! The chronograph, the diver’s watch, or the traditional three-hand watch for women and men in different color versions are proof that iconic design doesn’t necessarily need to be linked to a function.

The Iron Walker Chronograph –
Challenge Accepted


A true statement, not only for its visual appearance. Those who wear this watch love to compete. The prize for the most beautiful timepiece will certainly go to you anyway. In short: With the Iron Walker on your wrist, you don’t have to bend over backwards for anybody. Two dial versions are at your choice: strong blue or black with white totalizers in a reverse panda style.

The Iron Walker Diver’s Watch –
For Diver’s Who Don’t Shy Away


Disappear when things get difficult? That’s rather not your way. Stamina, tenacity, and the Iron Walker Diver’s Watch. Here comes somebody with a backbone. And this not necessarily always 300 meters below the sea level. Which, by the way, would be possible as well. Just set the internal rotating bezel via the striking second crown and you will know how long your dive may take.

The Three-Hand Iron Walker Watch – Straightforward despite Its Rough Edges


Direct and straightforward. Clear lines instead of sugar coating. Do you recognize yourself? Then the three-hand Iron Walker watch is the right watch for your wrist. Powerful, elegant, and clearly recognizable. No more and no less. The integrated stainless steel bracelet doesn’t only look good. It offers also an unparalleled wearing comfort.

The Iron Walker Women‘s Watch –
Inner Values Included


You are self-confident, style-setting, and assertive. Believe us: small weaknesses make you attractive. So allow yourself at least one weakness. The weakness for your personal Iron Walker watch. We have already forgiven you for this penchant. Just as inside the three-hand men’s models, a quartz movement or a chronometer-certified self-winding movement ensure that also this timepiece’s inner values are correct.

Why Iron Walker? A Tribute to Courage.

Our new collection pays tribute to New York City’s iconic steel construction workers. The brave men who worked hard in the early 20th century to turn the Big Apple into what it is still nowadays: an exciting and vibrant metropolis. These men didn’t only have nerves of steel, but they also showed courage, energy, and a pioneering spirit. It is thus with great pride that our collection bears this honorable name.
