Toto Wolff has built up quite the reputation. He's a commanding character who oozes respect, class and swagger, and has a proven history in finance and the business of motorsport. But when he's sat in the Mercedes garage, his passion for the championship can be overwhelming with him being seen slamming his headphones to the desk on multiple occasions and even breaking a computer monitor on another. This is why IWC created a watch that could withstand Wolff-specific behaviour: the Big Pilot's Watch Shock Absorber XPL Toto Wolff edition.
Speaking on SAP's Significant Figures interview series, the Mercedes team chief was caught fidgeting with the sleeve of his usual open-collared white shirt. "That's an impressive watch you got on there," the host said as the teal of his watch drew his eye against the tan of Wolff's tailored blazer.
