New pieces soar with Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn, and the adventurous spirit of Le Petit Prince

IWC Schaffhausen takes to the skies this year as the Swiss luxury watch brand celebrates 90 years of one of its most seminal designs, the Pilot’s Watch. For this year’s festivities, the brand goes literally above and beyond, as two of its major Pilot’s Watch releases take watchmaking “beyond the sky and into space”.

The Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive takes IWC’s 90 years of aviation watch excellence to the extreme, especially after the manufacturer’s participation in the Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn space flight missions in 2021 and 2024, respectively. To usher in a new era of space exploration, the Venturer Vertical Drive is the first piece from the brand designed and engineered from the ground up.
