The Swiss brand with a Latin soul, Cuervo y Sobrinos returns to its rich past and revisits one of its extra-thin watches from the 1950s. The name of this symbol of impeccable style and elegance comes from the stunning guilloché on the dial, known as "Flameante" for its unique flame effect which brings out the beauty of the magnificent indigo blue.

IWC – BIG PILOT's Watch Edition “Le Petit Prince”
















IWC Schaffhausen BIG PILOT's Watch Edition Le Petit PrinceNEW


Swiss luxury watch brand IWC Schaffhausen unveils Big Pilot’s Edition "Le Petit Prince" (Ref. IW500908) is the fourth watch paying homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupery and his legendary book Le Petit Prince. This edition with a midnight blue dial closely follows the classic Big Pilot's Watches from IWC Schaffhausen and is limited to 1,000 pieces.

The Big Pilot’s Watch from 1940 has significantly influenced the appearance of the current classic pilot’s watches. Even now, over 70 years on, the latest model adds another chapter to the success story of this extraordinary watch. Its IWC manufactured 51111 calibre movement – the largest automatic movement ever made by IWC – unites some of watchmaking’s greatest achievements.

Within no time at all, the spring-mounted rotor and Pellaton pawl-winding system build up a power reserve of over 7 days, before the movement is mechanically brought to a halt by a complex train in the power reserve after exactly 168 hours. Stopping the movement before the tension in the spring is exhausted eliminates the danger.

Like some of the models in the Ingenieur family, many of the Pilot’s Watches also offer optimum protection against the effects of external magnetic fields in the form of a soft-iron inner case. The inner back plate, casing ring and dial are made from pure iron and are particularly adept at conducting magnetic flux lines around the movement. This combination prevents magnetic fields from reaching the movement and guarantees maximum precision in both normal and extreme situations. Depending on the model in question, the protection provided here – of up to 80,000 amperes per metre – exceeds the Swiss norm for “antimagnetic watches” by more than sixteenfold.

The 46 mm solid stainless steel case houses a IWC-manufactured mechanical movement calibre 51111. Equipped with Pellaton automatic winding system, this exceptional movement delivers 7-day power reserve when fully wound. The midnight blue dial boasts a power reserve display at 3’o clock and date display at 6’o clock.

The case back of the Big Pilot's Watch Edition "Le Petit Prince" (Ref. IW500908) shows an alluring engraving of "Le Petit Prince", the famous namesake of the book that was translated in more than 270 languages.
