You can but it is extremely difficult and intensive. I looked into it but stopped when I realized that there is no easy plug in behind the console for the clock. It has four wires that each need to be run individually. They run to separate locations. On top of that you will need the dealer to program it into the system.

Are you sure about this? I though its a simple socket you unplug and plug in the new one in its place. Doesn't it only need 12V power??

Maybe because the time is set by the car? Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't recall any way to adjust the IWC clock

That is correct. There was a fairly good conversation by the c300 guys that detailed it.
