IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN CELEBRATES THE LITTLE PRINCE’S SPIRIT OF EXPLORATION WITH ANNIVERSARY EDITION PILOT’S WATCHES
To mark 20 years of collaboration with the heirs of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, IWC Schaffhausen launches five Le Petit Prince Anniversary Edition Pilot’s Watches at Watches and Wonders Geneva. The novelties include two Mark XX models in 18-carat 5N gold and stainless steel, two stainless steel chronographs in 43 and 41 millimetres and one Pilot’s Watch Automatic 36. All feature deep blue dials with a sunray finish, a hallmark of IWC’s special editions dedicated to Saint-Exupéry’s iconic novel. Signature design details of these editions are the gold-plated hands, filled with Super-LumiNova®, and charming depictions of the Little Prince on the case backs.
BIG PILOT'S WATCH PERPETUAL CALENDAR PROSET LE PETIT PRINCE
IWC Schaffhausen unveils the Perpetual Calendar IWC-ProSetTM at Watches and Wonders in Geneva. This milestone in modern watchmaking ushers in a new era for perpetual calendars at IWC. For the first time, a completely synchronised and gear-based design ensures seamless forward and backward adjustability, making the calendar easier and more intuitive to set and operate than ever before. With a deviation of just one day after 1040 years, the moon phase display also reaches a new level of precision. This groundbreaking calendar innovation debuts in three editions of the Big Pilot’s Watch in 18-carat 5N gold, white ceramic and stainless steel, all powered by the IWC-manufactured 82665 calibre.
PILOT’S VENTURER VERTICAL DRIVE
IWC Schaffhausen unveils the Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive at Watches and Wonders in Geneva. This next-generation tool watch has been specifically designed and engineered from the ground up for the unique demands of human spaceflight and timekeeping in space. Inspired by astronauts wearing space suits with gloves, all functions of the watch can be controlled through an innovative, patent-pending rotating bezel system, eliminating the need for a crown. A rocker switch located on the side of the case enables the wearer to change between various functions, including winding the movement and setting the home or mission times. The Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive is crafted using lightweight white zirconium oxide ceramic and Ceratanium®, ensuring high durability and resistance to temperature fluctuations. This tool watch underwent rigorous testing by IWC’s brand partner, Vast, the company developing next-generation space stations. It received spaceflight qualification from Vast for flight on Haven-1, scheduled to be the world’s first commercial space station.
BIG PILOT'S WATCH PERPETUAL CALENDAR CERALUME®
With the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Ceralume®, IWC Schaffhausen’s proprietary luminous ceramic technology makes its debut in the Pilot’s Watches collection. A watch of two entirely different expressions, it captivates with subtle shades of white and grey in daylight and transforms into a vivid blue-glowing instrument in the dark.

INGENIEUR
In his landmark principles, German industrial designer Dieter Rams argues that good design is always based on a balance between form and function, and ultimately, embodies the philosophy “less, but better”. This idea is exemplified by the Ingenieur SL, created by Gérald Genta in the 1970s. The modern Ingenieur merges Genta’s forward-thinking design with engineered ergonomics and meticulously detailed finishing.
In 2026, IWC Schaffhausen launch five new Ingenieur models.
