IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN PRESENTS NEW PILOT’S WATCHES DEDICATED TO “THE LITTLE PRINCE”

words by NATALIE GAL

IWC Schaffhausen unveils two stunning additions to its Pilot’s Watch collection, paying tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved classic, The Little Prince.

“All grown-ups were once children... but only a few of them remember it.”

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched; they are felt with the heart.”

“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.”

These timeless quotes from The Little Prince have followed many of us since childhood, no matter where we grew up. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s words helped shape our earliest ideas about love, imagination, and what it means to truly live. His writing carries a certain softness, a quiet beauty that feels profoundly nostalgic — and it’s exactly that spirit the new IWC watches capture. 

The Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Le Petit Prince features a deep blue ceramic case and matching dial, accented with warm 18-carat 5N gold details on the crown and case back ring. It's a seamless blend of technical brilliance and smart design.

Its counterpart, the Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Tourbillon Le Petit Prince, is encased in platinum with a stunning blue sunray-finished dial. Both watches are finished with sapphire glass case backs revealing an intricately shaped oscillating weight — the Little Prince, standing thoughtfully on his tiny asteroid.
