At the dawn of the age of commercial space exploration, IWC Schaffhausen presents the first mechanical watch engineered from the ground up for human spaceflight and timekeeping in orbit. The Pilot’s Venturer Vertical drive has been tested by IWC’s partner Vast and is certified for flight to Haven-1, scheduled to become the world’s first commercial space station.

The new Perpetual Calendar ProSet addresses one of the last remaining challenges in perpetual calendar design: full forward and backward adjustability through a single crown position. A completely new module architecture, based entirely on gears and protected by five patents, makes calendar adjustments as intuitive as setting the time.

With its new ‘Le Petit Prince’ collection, IWC Schaffhausen celebrates 90 years of Pilot’s Watches and two decades of collaboration with the heirs of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of one of literature’s most enchanting works. All novelties feature deep-blue sunburst dials and charming design details depicting the beloved protagonist.

Fifty years after the launch of the Ingenieur SL, Gérald Genta’s visionary design language lives on in the modern Ingenieur – re-engineered for enhanced ergonomics and elevated finishing. This year, the collection expands with the first Ingenieur featuring a tourbillon, as well as a new model with a perpetual calendar crafted in grade 5 titanium.

With the new Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Ceralume®, IWC Schaffhausen’s luminous ceramic technology debuts in the Pilot’s Watches collection. Developed by IWC’s engineering division XPL, Ceralume® marks the next chapter in the brand’s pioneering work with ceramic – a journey that began 40 years ago with black zirconium oxide ceramic.
