In a clear display of the flight path set for its Big Pilot’s family, in 2013, IWC Schaffhausen sealed its relationship with the delightful protagonist of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s “Le Petit Prince” with a spectacular Big Pilot’s Perpetual Calendar.
In 2021, IWC launched there first chronograph in the Big Pilot’s collection with the thematic colour and features we associate with “Le Petit Prince” models. To respect the spirit of the Big Pilot, IWC has chosen a monopusher chronograph with a push-button integrated into the distinctive conical crown. A limited edition of 500 pieces, the stainless steel IW515202 is equipped with IWC’s hand-wound monopusher chronograph movement with an impressive eight-day power reserve.
